Introduction
The NPort IA5000A-I/O serial device servers, which have built-in digital I/Os, provide maximum flexibility when you need to integrate serial
equipment in the field with an Ethernet network or cloud platform. The cloud-ready device server can communicate with IIoT applications, using
generic MQTT or third-party cloud services, such as Azure and Alibaba Cloud. The combination of digital I/Os makes the device servers well-suited
for a variety of industrial data acquisition applications. The DI/Os on the device can be controlled over TCP/IP using the Modbus TCP protocol and
can be configured and secured from a web browser. The device can also be installed as a COM Port (patented Real COM) on a Windows/Linux PC
to make it compatible with legacy applications.
All models are ruggedly constructed, DIN-rail mountable, and designed with redundant power inputs to ensure uninterrupted operation for
industrial applications.
Wireless Client
The device servers are equipped with one Ethernet port that allows data to be transferred seamlessly between the serial line, LAN, and WAN,
allowing the LAN and WLAN interfaces to be bridged together using a single IP address.
Supports MTConnect Protocol for Monitoring Digital Inputs
MTConnect is designed specifically for shop-floor applications that
aim to convert shop-floor data into a standard format that can be
understood by any MTConnect-compliant software applications.
Once the data has been defined by an MTConnect-compliant
interface (name, type, description, etc.), it eliminates the need to
redefine the data within each application. For those legacy machine
tools that do not support MTConnect, the common practice is to get
machine-related data through sensor connections and I/Os. Moxa
NPort IAW5000A-I/O supports MTConnect-enabled capability for all
digital inputs on the device and provides a configurable interface for
users to define what data and appropriate MTConnect tags need to
be tied to the digital inputs.
