Ethernet I/O server for PC-based data acquisition and control
MOXA Technologies has released the ioLogik 4000, which is designed to read sensor data, on/off status and control on/off status of devices remotely over an Ethernet network from a host computer.
Compatible with most SCADA software.
Support for standard Modbus protocol makes ioLogik 4000 compatible with most SCADA software, such as Intellution iFix, Wonderware and Labview.
One ioLogik Ethernet network adapter can connect up to 32 I/O modules, which is equivalent to 512 DI/O points or 128 analogue input channels.
Over 40 types of I/O modules are available including 24Vdc, 48Vdc, 110Vac and 230Vac digital input/out modules and 0-20mA, 4-20mA and 0-10V analogue I/O modules.
Special temperature sensor modules are also available including models with RTD (PT100) and thermocouple sensors.
ioLogik 4000 is certified by PLC-grade safety regulation UL508. In addition, the digital output modules provide short protection, as well as over-current/temperature protection.
The safety status is user configurable for digital output and analogue output modules in case communication with the computer is interrupted.
Each Ethernet network adapter can receive data from up to eight different computers on the network for data sharing.
For Windows programming, the intuitive MXIO DLL programming library is available for users of Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Borland C++ Builder.
Features include:
* Remotely acquire sensor data and control I/O points via Ethernet (RS-485/232 available)
* Easy-to-use Windows utility for remote management
* Easy-to-use DLL library for VB, VC++, BCB
* More than 40 I/O types of modules
* Expandable up to 32 modules for a maximum of 512 DIO points or 128 analogue channels
* Modular package for fast swap and maintenance
* Standard Modbus/TCP/RTU/ASCII and compatible with most SCADA software.
The ioLogik 4000 is available from Crisp Technologies .
