Moxa has introduced the AWK-1127 Series, an IEEE 802.11 a/b/g WLAN client with a serial interface ruggedised for industrial networking applications. Virtually identical to the AWK-1121, with the exception of a serial port, the AWK-1127 is optimised for applications requiring a dedicated wireless client with compact design and industrial-strength features. With Turbo Roaming to give millisecond level handoffs, redundant power inputs, optional wide temperature operation (-40 to 75°C) and a serial interface for effortless serial device connectivity, the AWK-1127 ensures the highest level of reliability and availability for wireless communications, making it a sturdy, ideal solution for any serial industrial application with limited space.
Serial interface supported
The AWK-1127 comes with a RS-232/422/485 supported serial port, allowing connection to both Ethernet and serial devices for application versatility. With this small, light yet rugged industrial design, the AWK-1127 provides the ideal solution for connecting legacy devices to WLAN networks where space is limited and a robust, dedicated client is required. The AWK-1127 is not only designed for harsh industrial environments, it also satisfies the need to connect legacy devices to the Ethernet allowing for greater versatility.
WLAN client optimised performance
The AWK-1127 WLAN client provides key wireless benefits like mobility, flexibility and wider coverage. It is also specifically designed for hard-to-wire, tightly spaced applications. Roaming for the AWK-1127 is benchmarked at millisecond-level speeds, providing handovers that effectively eliminate connectivity gaps for latency-sensitive applications like automatic guided vehicles (AGV) in factory automation systems, or like those often found in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). With these exclusive innovative features, the AWK-1127 offers flexibility, convenience, cost savings, and efficiency.
