Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)

In automated warehouses, AGVs rely on stable onboard networking to integrate navigation and control systems as they freely roam in harsh operating environments. Robust connectivity is essential for preventing instabilities and costly disruptions.

System Requirements:

  • Space-efficient hardware that fits in space-constrained onboard AGV cabinets.
  • High vibration and shock resistance to provide stable connectivity while in constant motion.
  • Robust, reliable network connectivity for maximum uptime.

Moxa’s Solution:

  • Compact Flexibility: The EDS-2005-EL Series’ small design fits easily into confined spaces, simplifying installation and future scalability.
  • Superior Reliability: The rugged metal build with high EMC and outstanding MTBF makes the EDS-2005-EL Series ideal for harsh environments.

Switchgear/PDU

For power equipment builders, ensuring stable power supply and low latency data transmission is the top priority. Building a robust network with real-time digital diagnostics and secure connectivity is essential to prevent downtime and enhance the resilience of critical power systems.

System Requirements:

  • Digitize breaker contacts in tight cabinets to enable remote diagnostics, monitor blind spots, and prevent unexpected trips.
  • Reliable field data aggregation with real-time alerts for link failures.
  • RTU-to-TCP conversion with SNMPv3 support and cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data.

Moxa’s Solution:

  • Space-efficient Design: The ioLogik E1212 features an ultra-slim 27.8 mm design to digitize breaker status while optimizing cabinet space.
  • Plug-and-play Connectivity: The EDS-2010-ML Series streamlines field data consolidation and supports relay alarms for instant link issue alerts.
  • Power Data Security: The MGate MB3270-G2 handles protocol conversion with SNMPv3 support and TLS v1.2 encryption to secure critical power control data.

Packaging Lines

For high-OEE food packaging lines, maximum uptime and accelerating time-to-market are top priorities. A standardized network that bridges machines from different vendors and streamlines communications across packaging sections is the foundation that enables continuous operations and reliable product delivery.

System Requirements:

  • Minimize network latency and motor-induced EMI to maximize OEE.
  • Robust network security to protect vulnerable OT network assets.
  • Unify multiple protocols such as serial, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP, to reduce engineering overhead.

Moxa’s Solution:

  • Hardened Efficiency: The EDS-4008 and the ioLogik Series ensure reliable data flow and precise sensor synchronization, even in high-EMI environments.
  • Seamless Interoperability: The MGate 5135 converts Modbus to EtherNet/IP while the NPort 6450-G2 integrates legacy serial devices.
  • Integrated Security: The EDR-8010 Series provides secure access to external services for private OT/IT assets to protect against cyberthreats.

Press Brake Machines

Precise ram positioning and multi-axis synchronization are critical for consistent bending quality. However, heavy machinery, electromagnetic interference, and operational vibration pose challenges to communication reliability. A robust networking backbone is essential for precise communication and unwavering control accuracy.

System Requirements:

  • Stable operation in confined spaces with very strong hydraulic vibration and EMI.
  • Microsecond-level synchronization between various system components via a low-latency control backbone.
  • Integration of serial peripherals into the system to facilitate recipe management and factory-wide monitoring.

Moxa’s Solution:

  • Rugged Edge Connectivity: Moxa offers a broad portfolio of compact, high-EMC edge solutions for field-layer signal monitoring and Ethernet expansion.
  • Maximum Accuracy: The EJS-08 Series and the MGate 5216 bridge EtherCAT and Modbus to synchronize data for precise hydraulic control.
  • Seamless Serial Integration: The NPort IA5150I-G2 with 2 kV EMI protection connects serial data to CNC control units without the need for coding.

DNA Sequencers

DNA sequencing requires massive image processing alongside precise coordination of pumps, valves, and sensors, where even minor signal instability can lead to catastrophic library loss. A high-bandwidth backbone and ultra-stable connectivity act as the vital digital nervous system that coordinates every sequencing effort to success.

System Requirements:

  • High-bandwidth communication for handling massive data streams, ensuring base-calling integrity and privacy.
  • High-density connectivity to integrate multiple serial peripherals into a unified Ethernet network.
  • Modular I/O configurations to enable swift implementation of different sequencer models.

Moxa’s Solution:

  • Reliable & Secure Switching: The IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 certified EDS-G4012 Series delivers secure image data processing and high EMC for uninterrupted data flow.
  • High-density Serial Connectivity: The NPort 5650-16 consolidates multiple serial devices into a single link, providing simplified cable management.
  • Compact Design & Easy Installation: The ioThinx 4510 Series’ tool-free, slide-in modules reduce cabinet footprint and manual wiring errors.
