Moxa has released MXstudio 2.1, the latest version of its integrated industrial network management suite. The new functions include network traffic load visualisation, simultaneous export/import of multiple configuration files, and virtual demo, which allows users to experience the software without connecting to any network devices. With these enhancements, MXstudio can further ensure high network availability and high productivity.
MXstudio 2.1 suite includes MXconfig industrial network configuration tool (v2.1), MXview industrial network management (v2.5), and N-Snap industrial network snapshot tool (v1.2). This integrated suite allows you to handle almost every task at each stage of the network management life cycle, including installation, operation, maintenance, and diagnostics.
For MXview 2.5, Moxa introduced traffic load visualisation mode, which displays different traffic loading statuses in colour-coded links, allowing users to monitor the network traffic status. Once any abnormal traffic surge occurs, engineers can quickly identify the error cause, and and even track down problematic PLCs or other end devices. Users can also set up event notification to receive an SMS or email whenever network traffic exceeds the safe threshold.
Moreover, for engineers who would like to experience and evaluate MXview, there is now a virtual demonstration tool that lets users experience the software without connecting any devices. With the new tool, it is possible to set up link down/up, power down/up to the network, or adjust the traffic on the virtual network. The errors created on the virtual demo network will show up on MXview, allowing planners to optimise topology changes and cope with the issues accordingly.
