Advanced modular remote I/O adapters with built-in serial ports
 For the past 30+ years, we have developed an extensive portfolio of products designed for the harsh operating requirements of OT networks. However, as network security threats continue to rise, we have combined our OT expertise with IT level security features within our leading product lines. This has resulted in a comprehensive OT security connectivity portfolio. See below to understand how we have incorporated expansive security features across our products to keep your networks not only connected, but secure .  Making Smart Manufacturing a RealityEvery network application is unique depending on environment, scale and budget. However, there can be similarities in design across all of these. Check out the following example that illustrates how our eco-system of connectivity solutions can transform a factory/plant into something that's Smart, Efficient and Secure.  
 If you’re considering managed switches for your application, then most likely your network requires flexibility and features around high-performance, network management, enhanced cybersecurity efforts and network redundancy. Is cybersecurity becoming an increasing concern? As the number of connected devices on the plant floor grows, so does access to the data from those devices. Without the proper secure network devices in place, increases in access to your data can increase your network vulnerability to cyber-threats. The EDS-500E series switches support Moxa’s “Security View”*, which can help you to audit the security settings level of your Moxa switch, and can help you to easily correct misconfigured security settings based on the desired security level. Therefore, the level of cybersecurity implemented in a network is a valid concern. The best way to meet the requirements of your cybersecurity initiative is by selecting managed switches with security features based on IEC-62443 standards made specifically for industrial control systems. How significant are downtime costs? Maintaining high availability is a priority in industrial networks, so preventing every single point of failure is key. Network failures can lead to quality issues, a decrease in production, and possible safety hazards. This is where network redundancy plays a critical role. Traditional redundancy technology can take seconds to recover from a fault; this can impact the recovery of critical segments of your production floor. Moxa offers two different options to help with seamless recovery for mission-critical applications. Moxa’s Turbo Ring technology allows networks to recover within 20ms* with up to 250 nodes. For applications that already have a redundant ring technology, but need to add segments with recovery times in the milliseconds, Moxa’s Turbo Chain offers unlimited redundant network expansion with under 20ms recovery times. Both of these technologies take only seconds to set up and deliver seamless recovery with zero data loss. The EDS-500E series switches can also have their configuration files backed up and saved for fast and easy restoration in the event of misconfiguration or catastrophic events*. *Note: 10G/1G Ethernet recovery time < 50 ms Is your network slowing down? To help future proof your investment in a managed switch, it is important to consider the amount of throughput you will need to access the data from your devices. Not just for today, but also for any future high bandwidth devices like cameras for vision systems. Gigabit uplink ports offer you the bandwidth and high throughput necessary to ensure you have the performance to meet the demands of your growing network needs. Having visibility into your network is key in being able to keep your mission critical networks running smoothly. The EDS-500E series of fully managed switches support many network visualization features: Topology View (network topology), Traffic View (network traffic stats & traffic visualization), & Security View (security auditing & security settings visualization). *These features are supported by the specific Moxa devices and may require MXview and a valid MXview license to fully take advantage of these features.

These level switches are used as point level switches for dry, granular bulk solids, and are ideal for detecting full, empty, refill, or point level status in silos, hoppers, and bins containing bulk solids. Examples of products that can be sensed by rotary paddle level switches include cereals, sugar, animal feeds, washing powders, chalk dry plaster, dry cement, granulates, wood chips, and similar products. These level switches are available in three different shaft lengths, plus a rope version that can be shortened in the field based on the application. |

Because the structures are lightweight, economical and easy to construct, slotted aluminum rail structures are commonly seen throughout many industries. From stands that hold barcode scanners and label applicator machines to OEM machines made entirely of T-slotted aluminum rail, this structure system is very popular. We have a wide variety of assembly hardware for T-slotted aluminum rail systems in various widths from 1 inch to 1.5 inch and 30mm to 45mm, which include T-nuts, fasteners, connecting components, joining plates and brackets, as well as floor, door and panel elements. These components are compatible with many brands. These FATH T-slot hardware products are all stock items, so they can be shipped quickly and have a 2-year warranty. |
