Make Your OT, IT, IIoT Protocol Interoperability Easier for Industry 4.0 A central consideration and challenge in achieving a connected smart factory is protocol division. Depending on the specific operation, system integrators may encounter numerous disparate automation protocols that must be connected to achieve the operational goals or optimization goals. The OT world encompasses MES (manufacturing execution systems), SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), PLCs, meters, valves, sensors and motors, etc. The most common protocols are PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus. IT systems include an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system that mostly uses SNMP, HTTP, SOAP, XML protocols. The IIoT and industry 4.0 application requires the connection of many devices and systems to collect and share the vast amount of high-quality data across OT and IT platforms. The mainstream protocols for the adoption of the IIoT or Industry 4.0 are MQTT, AMQP, and CoAP. Moxa is one of the few product manufacturers and solution providers that offer a comprehensive product portfolio that makes the interoperability of OT, IT, and IIoT protocols straightforward.
IDEC FC6A digital I/O cartridges can easily be installed in SmartAXIS Touch FT1A- *14 and FC6A base units. With three types of cartridges available, the addition of these cost-effective cartridges allows FT1A-*14 Touch to be utilized in numerous applications that require more than 8 inputs and 4 outputs. Up to 2 cartridges can be configured which mean a maximum of 20 digital I/O can be configured in total. Plus, with its unique design, customers can not only add additional digital I/O onto their FC6A system with ease, they can also save cabinet space and money at the same time. Note: Upgraded Automation Organizer version 3.70 is required to program all new digital I/O cartridges. Automation Organizer 3.7 Upgrade New Upgraded Automation Organizer version 3.70 is required to program all new digital I/O cartridges. Download »
Basic instructions can be executed in 0.042 microseconds, and program memory is 640 kB. There are 1,024 timers, and six of the 512 counters are high-speed at rates up to 100kHz. These capabilities are combined with extensive data and bit memory, double the capacity of a typical micro PLC. These features allow the MicroSmart PLC to handle large programs with complex control requirements such as PID, flow totalization and recipes. All models have a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port, and an RJ45 RS232C/RS485 serial port. A plug-in cartridge adds an additional RS232C/RS485 port. An SD memory port and a mini-B USB port can each be used for data logging, program storage/transfer, firmware updating or recipe storage. The Ethernet port supports the Modbus TCP protocol, and the serial port supports the Modbus RTU protocol. IoT capability is provided by custom web pages which can be configured for remote monitoring and control. These web pages are stored in the MicroSmart PLC, which functions as a web server when its built-in Ethernet port or the HMI Ethernet port is connected to the Internet. These web pages can be accessed via any web browser running on any Internet-connected device such as a remote PC, a tablet or a smartphone. Up to 4 expansion modules can be added to the 16 I/O model, and up to 15 expansion modules can be added to the 24 and 40 I/O models. These modules can be of any type with no restrictions as to the number of analog and specialty modules. This gives the 40 I/O MicroSmart PLC the capability to handle up to 520 I/O with a maximum of 126 analog I/O, much more than a typical micro PLC.The 40 I/O model also includes support for the CAN J1939 protocols. The CAN J1939 protocol is often used in diesel engine applications for various types of vehicles and vessels, and for mobile power generators. Please contact us for proof of concepts, demonstrations,

More and more enterprises are transforming their shop floor from machine to machine into connected dots to best prepare themselves for the needs from the ever-changing business realm – faster response, flexibility and customization. By monitoring the status of equipment and WIP (Work in Process), it ensures a smoother production process and reduce machine downtime. Furthermore, it shortens the production lead time thus enterprises can have a faster respond to the market in a timely, more flexible and customized perspective. |
Successful Case Studies
Plant Equipment Monitoring and Optimization Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Machine temperature monitoring, e.g., reflow oven Environment Real-time monitoring in each area, e.g., temperature and humidity |
Four connection types are now available for the AEM2G series of compact limit switches to provide additional installation flexibility. 5-Pin M12 Quick Disconnect (bottom and right exit) and 3m pre-wired pigtail cable (right exit) connection options have been added to the existing 3m pre-wired pigtail cable (bottom exit) connection. AEM2G series compact limit switches have die cast metal housings that are epoxy resin filled for IP67 rating and are equipped with one normally-open and one normally-closed contact. These compact limit switches have standard U.S. 25mm mounting hole spacing and are available in a variety of actuator types including metal plunger, lever, rod actuator, and spring actuator. Contact types include both snap-action and slow-make/slow-break. AEM2G series compact limit switches start at $21.00, have a 1-year warranty and are UL and CE approved. |
