System Requirements Gigabit fiber network backbone to transmit large volumes of data back to the main control center Wide-temperature tolerance for outdoor operation Rugged and compact design for installation in roadside cabinets Moxa Solution Multiple modularized cabinets are installed atop over 150 gantries throughout the national highway system. Inside the roadside cabinet, the ioLogik E1212-T Ethernet remote I/O connects to humidity/temperature sensors and intrusion detection for cabinet environmental monitoring to enhance equipment safety and reliability. In addition, all Moxa’s models feature -40 to 75oC wide temperature tolerance to perform reliably without air conditioning in severe highway operating conditions. Why Moxa The EDS-510A-3GT-T & EDS-G509-T provide Gigabit Ethernet ports to support massive video and data transmissions The EDS-G509-T supports fiber interface for long distance transmission Future proof IPv6 ready All Moxa products are available in wide-temperature (-40 to 75°C) models, and feature long MTBF for high reliability https://switches.shop/blog/automated-enforcement-for-gps-toll-collection-using-gigabit-ethernet Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:38:00 +0000 SCN SWITCHES https://switches.shop/blog/remote-i-o-facilitates-effective-condition-monitoring-on-trains Application - Onboard Condition Monitoring Systems Industry - Rail  Region - Germany   Introduction In order to create a comfortable travel experience for passengers, operators often use remote I/O devices to control and monitor onboard systems to ensure they operate smoothly. System Requirements Devices designed in accordance with the EN 50155 standard and a rugged design to withstand harsh onboard environments Remote I/O devices with a compact form factor that can fit inside small cabinets on trains Daisy-chain network topology to remove the need for extra wires and reduce costs Moxa Solution In order to enhance passenger safety, there are multiple systems on trains such as HVAC, lighting control, door control, and fire detectors that require reliable remote I/O to control system operations and monitor the status of devices. The compact form factor of the ioLogik E1500 Series made it ideal for deployment in train cabinets that had space constraints. Why Moxa Products with a rugged metal case that comply with the relevant portions of the EN 50155 standard to ensure suitability for use on trains Compact design that fits easily into cabinets on trains Daisy-chain network topology that reduces costs Channel-to-channel isolation (DI only) PCBA coating to ensure smooth operations in harsh environments Quick customization and ongoing support https://switches.shop/blog/remote-i-o-facilitates-effective-condition-monitoring-on-trains Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:34:00 +0000 SCN SWITCHES https://switches.shop/blog/building-reliable-connectivity-for-road-condition-monitoring Application - Road Condition Monitoring Industry - Intelligent Transportation  Region - Lithuania   Introduction The Lithuanian road administration wanted to provide drivers with real-time road and weather condition updates on their website to improve the travel experience. System Requirements Connect various sensors inside space-constrained roadside cabinets Simple control logic to trigger alarms when needed Receive real-time information through cellular networks Moxa Solution Our OnCell 5104-HSPA cellular routers, ioLogik E2242-T remote I/Os, and NPort 5150A-T serial device servers were used to connect these field devices and transmit both sensor and image data back to traffic control center via cellular networks. For smooth data transmissions, our cellular routers support 4 Ethernet ports to get serial, I/O, and video data online and built-in dual-SIM redundancy so that operators can create a backup cellular link in case one of the telecom services becomes unavailable. Why Moxa One-stop shop for serial device servers, remote I/Os, and cellular routers Supports IF-THEN-ELSE control logic rules with our Click & Go function Dual-SIM design for cellular link redundancy by providing a backup connection when one link goes down https://switches.shop/blog/building-reliable-connectivity-for-road-condition-monitoring Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:32:00 +0000 SCN SWITCHES https://switches.shop/blog/enabling-flexible-monitoring-systems-for-cnc-machines Application - CNC Machine Monitoring Industry - Manufacturing  Region - Europe   Introduction CNC machines enhance productivity efficiency and accuracy in the manufacturing industry. System Requirements Collects both I/O and serial data from CNC machines A wireless solution that overcomes the difficulties of wiring in the factory due to its manufacturing floor layout A variety of I/O interfaces for different types of CNC machines Moxa Solution The production site houses numerous CNC machines and other equipment. Why Moxa One-stop-shop solution from I/O and serial connectivity to wireless communication Supports a variety of I/O interfaces to fulfill various demands from CNC machines https://switches.shop/blog/enabling-flexible-monitoring-systems-for-cnc-machines Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:21:00 +0000 SCN SWITCHES
