Event-based control logic

March 2009 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

New addition to Active Ethernet I/O family with modular design and network redundancy.

Moxa has announced the launch of the new ioLogik E4200 Active Ethernet modular I/O. The ioLogik E4200 supports up to 16 I/O modules with a maximum of 256 DI/DO or 64 AI/O points. Its slice form factor provides more flexibility and expansion capability for various application requirements. This new modular I/O is also more intelligent than previous models and supports 80 Click&Go rule-sets. Two independent Ethernet LANs for network redundancy and one serial port to connect with GSM modems for SMS communication are provided as standard.

Moxa’s Click&Go event-based control logic interface offers local control without interacting with the remote host. The intuitive, graphic interface lets administrators use simple IF-THEN-ELSE statements as rules to determine how the Active Ethernet modular I/O responds to different events. The internal register function allows the outer scada system to control the outputs when the Click&Go logic is running. The ioLogik E4200 also supports Unicode Active Messaging with realtime stamp, including TCP, UDP, SNMP trap, e-mail, and SMS for alarm warnings.

The ioLogik E4200 is suitable for remote monitoring and alarm systems, such as those used in water and wastewater treatment systems, power monitoring systems, and more. Applications such as these need more I/O points with various I/O types for different devices, including temperature monitoring, gas detectors, and water quality detectors. All of these applications can benefit from the flexibility and expandability of the ioLogik E4200’s modular design.
