Overview

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) increasingly requires applications to retrieve I/O data from field devices and then push the data to OT (private cloud) and IT (public cloud) platforms. Using modular remote I/Os to retrieve I/O data, however, is not always plain sailing as a number of complications can slow down daily operations, requiring extra working hours and costs to get things running smoothly again. We take a closer look at a number of pain points and show you how our ioThinx 4510 IIoT modular remote I/O can help you, no matter whether you are an IT or OT expert.

Supports Multiple IT/OT Protocols in One Device

Moxa's ioThinx 4510 supports the most commonly used protocols, including SNMPv1/v2c/v3 and RESTful API for IT operations, and Modbus TCP Server (Slave) for OT operations. The ioThinx 4510 retrieves and converts I/O data to any of these protocols simultaneously, so you can execute a variety of protocol conversions in one device. Therefore, there is no need to relearn how to use a different brand product. What's more, our ioThinx 4510 allows you to stock fewer product types and variants, and ultimately streamlines your suppliers.

Our ioThinx also with built-in Modbus Gateway to reduce complexity

No Reconfiguration Required

Our ioThinx 4510 is designed with an intuitive web configuration tool that supports module/channel unique name. Simply put, the configuration settings, including Modbus address/RESTful channel name to SCADA, will correspond automatically with the specific module. No matter whether you change the module sequence, add or remove a module, additional reconfiguration efforts are not required; you just need to configure the newly added module. What’s more, the web configuration tool includes GUI design features such as drag-and-drop, so you can tweak the I/O sequence and types intuitively. The feature also applies to Modbus TCP and RESTful API protocols.

Less Complexity with Built-In Modbus Gateway

The ioThinx 4510 is not just a modular I/O, but also comes with a built-in Modbus gateway. It supports Modbus RTU Master to help users collect field-site data from serial devices and convert the serial data to different protocols, e.g., Modbus TCP, SNMP, and RESTful. This two-in-one design reduces system complexity, the amount of space required in the network topology, and overall installation time. It can also bring legacy devices to Ethernet to increase the lifetime of these devices via one protocol that users are familiar with.

Your Pain Points

You want to copy previous configuration settings to the current modules, but the fact is...

You have to keep the current I/O sequences or module types the same as the previous module combinations; otherwise, you have to reconfigure all the modules, including the settings of each module and the Modbus address/RESTful channel name to the upper-level software (e.g., SCADA), all over again, which will increase your operation costs. Our ioThinx 4510 calls only for simple changing with no reconfiguration efforts required.

You want to use the protocol that you are familiar with, but the fact is...

You are frustrated. You are back at square one as you have to undergo the whole buying process all over again to find a new solution just because the current modular remote I/O your company uses does not support the IT protocols (e.g., SNMP, RESTful) that you are familiar with. So you have to spend more time and effort than expected to complete your project as only OT protocols are supported by the current remote I/O. Our ioThinx 4510 supports multiple IT/OT protocols, allowing you to fulfill a variety of protocol conversions in one device.
