Whitepaper | Application Notes Moving toward Industry 4.0 is a challenge. When the number of connected field devices increases in industrial control systems, your network infrastructure needs to be able to deliver tremendous amounts of field data with accuracy and integrity. This application note from Moxa explores the challenges that system engineers frequently encounter as […]
Terra Ferma, Moxa, and MSI TEC extended IT communications from the corporate offices out to the most remote and harsh industrial environments the oil and gas industries have to face. Terra Ferma was challenged with bringing remote video surveillance and data acquisition to multiple wellheads scattered throughout the cold, harsh Rocky Mountains of the Central […]
The Internet of Things or the IoT is a network of things, objects, and devices that are embedded with software, sensors, and other technologies that connect and exchange data over the internet. This includes every day devices like fitness trackers, smart appliances, robot vacuums, bathroom scales, tooth brushes and more. The insights from the data […]
IIoT gateways act as a gate or bridge between OT devices and the cloud in IoT and IIoT applications. Since they often need to process the bulk of ingress and egress data, they are more exposed to cybersecurity threats than other devices. For this reason, it is extremely important to keep your IIoT gateway software […]
With the increase of industrial IoT (IIoT) applications, the gateways that sit between the “things” and the Internet have become extremely important. A gateway acquires data from sensors and actuators in the field, and then transfers the data to the cloud, enabling smooth data flow from field to cloud. To ensure the stability of the […]
If you need to connect proprietary serial devices over IP networks, serial device servers can provide a simple bridge between your legacy serial devices and modern communication systems. However, without sufficient knowledge of how serial device servers work, you could end up spending unnecessary time and effort. Here are three key criteria you should remember […]
Remote or distributed outdoor IIoT applications such as in solar energy, oil and gas, and water/wastewater require reliable IIoT gateways with low-to-high bandwidth cellular connectivity to collect and transfer edge data. The Moxa UC series Arm-based computers are ideal for these applications with their wide variety of cellular connectivity options, compact size for cabinet installation, […]
The transformation to Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has increased the demand on network nodes to enable connected systems. Although some network nodes can use unmanaged switches that feature basic management functions to minimize network complexity and administration effort, other situations may still require managed switches, which continue to play an […]
