Inside the Future of Industrial Ethernet Technology
The trend in industrial communications and automation applications
As the world’s network and information technology becomes more mature, the trend is to
use Ethernet as the major communications interface in many industrial communications
and automation applications. In fact, a whole new industry has sprung up to provide
Ethernet products that comply with the requirements of demanding industrial applications.
Industrial vs. Commercial
Users have found that when moving Ethernet from the comfortable office environment to
the harsh and less predictable industrial environment, the commercial Ethernet equipment
available in today’s market simply cannot meet the high reliability requirements demanded
by industrial applications. This means that a more robust type of network equipment,
commonly referred to as industrial Ethernet equipment, is required for these applications.
Informative vs. Passive
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, such
devices cannot always know what’s happening elsewhere on the network. This means that
industrial Ethernet communication equipment that connects these devices must take
responsibility for providing system maintainers with real-time alarm messages.
MOXA EtherDevice Server™
MOXA EtherDevice Server comes with a suite of useful maintenance and monitoring
functions, and is designed to provide smooth and reliable operation in harsh industrial
environments. You will find that MOXA EtherDevice Server establishes a new industrial
Ethernet benchmark. It is excellent for keeping automation systems running continuously,
is ideal for sending status reports to help prevent system damages and losses, is a great tool
for mastering your industrial Ethernet networks, and is well-suited for use with industrial
device control networks.
NOTE Throughout this User’s Manual, we often use EDS as an abbreviation for MOXA
EtherDevice Server:
EDS = MOXA EtherDevice Server
