Moxa’s Ignition-ready Computers

Large industrial operators with modern IoT and digital transformation objectives need to build and manage reliable unmanned connections to hundreds of devices in harsh remote environments spanning wide geographical areas. This can be especially difficult, expensive, and time-consuming if you are still using traditional proprietary solutions. Driver support from different PLC and equipment vendors can be pricey and limited. A typical edge computer and communication hardware may not be designed to withstand harsh operating conditions or recover from communication failures. Combining Ignition software with Moxa’s rugged and proven IIoT gateways and PCs provides an exceptionally reliable and cost-effective solution for PLC data acquisition with a modern MQTT or Ignition™ architecture. Inductive Automation’s Ignition offers powerful features to easily connect to most vendor devices and cloud applications, while Moxa’s products are renowned for their engineering and communication reliability, ensuring that you always have access to your critical data.

Power and Flexibility With Ignition

With Inductive Automation’s Ignition, you can get up-to-date driver support for Allen Bradley™, Siemens™, and Omron™ equipment and serial devices that use Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3, OPC UA, UDP/TCP protocols, among others. You no longer need to maintain separate protocol converters or proprietary communication modules for specific devices. In addition, you get powerful and easy-to-use tools to quickly generate tags and publish the tags to an MQTT or Sparkplug™ broker.

Performance and Reliability With Moxa

Moxa’s reputation for excellence in hardware is backed by over 35 years of engineering experience in harsh and industrial environments. Our industrial IoT gateways and fanless PCs are specifically designed for the industrial edge, so they are at home alongside PLCs and other edge equipment that operate in extreme operating conditions. Board-level thermal design and low power consumption allow units to support an astonishing -40 to 70°C operating temperature range without requiring cooling fans or heaters. Our extensive range of solutions designed for multiple industries means that you will find something off the shelf that deploys quickly and works seamlessly with your software and devices.

Solution

Moxa’s rugged IIoT edge gateways with integrated LTE modems easily fit into remote cabinets. Running Ignition Edge on the gateways makes it easy to collect data from local PLCs, RTUs, and other edge devices. You can then publish the data from the edge to the cloud over a cellular connection using MQTT/Sparkplug. The powerful gateways can also scale up to handling demanding software and tag requirements.

Solution

Moxa’s rugged DIN-rail PC is powerful enough to host the complete Ignition portfolio for server and controller functionality that can integrate local operations with live data from the cloud. This industrial PC could easily connect to motors, PLCs, and gas analyzers used in the process applications of a gas plant and can run machine-learning algorithms to make real-time adjustments to sensitive chemical processes. Another Moxa PC can be deployed to run an Ignition-powered HMI that is accessible to any network-connected mobile device. Access to advanced cloud services such as Azure allows for advanced scripting that can incorporate live global weather data and make it available enterprise-wide. A cloud-based Ignition instance can leverage all this information to support additional enterprise-wide visualization and dashboarding tools.

Delivering Reliable Wireless Networking for Outdoor Infrastructure

When wired connections are impractical outdoors, ensuring a stable and secure wireless connection is critical for reliable operation. The need for speedy deployment and low installation costs in these locations makes wireless solutions essential. Ensuring continuous, secure communication is vital for managing charging stations effectively, especially in challenging outdoor conditions.

We offer a wireless and reliable solution to address the uncertainties of outdoor environments.

OnCell G4302-LTE4 Cellular Routers: The Guaranlink function helps monitor network status and activates an automatic recovery mechanism during disconnections, also supporting dual SIM functionality. The device is developed in compliance with IEC 62443-4-2 standards, providing robust information security.

AWK-3252A Industrial Wireless AP: The built-in band-pass filter function helps reduce environmental interference and enhance the stability of wireless transmissions.

Streamlining Energy Use and Control for Community Charging Facilities

Managing multiple EV chargers in communities comes with challenges, particularly in tracking energy consumption and integrating with existing systems. Efficient operation relies on aggregating data from each meter and ensuring seamless communication between charging units and the central monitoring system. Property managers need real-time visibility and control to reduce manual oversight, ensure accurate billing, and optimize energy management.

We provide a unified data collection system that aggregates information to a local EMS for basic processing:

MGate MB3660 Modbus Gateways: The MGate agent mode can actively poll the meter’s data and store it in the gateway's memory, reducing the latency in SCADA polling of multiple meters.

EDR-8010 Secure Routers: Supports bridge mode, allowing for the provision of security features such as firewall, IPS, and DPI without changing the existing network architecture.

SDS-3008 Smart Switches: This device operates between managed and unmanaged switches, providing essential network management features, including a web-based GUI for management, port diagnostics, and VLAN configuration.

Hardware and Architecture

Ignition supports a wide range of use cases, including data ingestion and visualization. Moxa offers an excellent hardware platform to run either the Ignition Edge client or the Ignition Gateway server. For details, visit Inductive Automation.
