Peer-to-Peer Active Ethernet I/O Server - MOXA E3210 ioMirror

MOXA announced the release of the ioMirror E3210, peer-to-peer, a high-speed, active Ethernet I/O servers. The ioMirror peer-to-peer Ethernet I/O servers are a new generation of I/O server that use the Ethernet and IP networks to extend the distance between digital inputs and digital outputs. Broad range of applications, such as fluid level sensors, multiple intrusion detection, and alarm signals can be extended to multiple locations without additional transmission lines.

MOXA E3210 ioMirror Peer-to-Peer Active Ethernet I/O Server

The ioMirror E3210 is an easy to use peer-to-peer Ethernet I/O server. Configuration can be done with an internet browser, and with only 4 steps required, you can expect to set up all signal mappings in under 5 minutes.

Key features of MOXA E3210 ioMirror Peer-to-Peer Active Ethernet I/O Server

• I/O status updates within 20 ms
• Configuration in 4 steps without programming
• Direct input-to-output signal communication over IP
• Local alarm and remote alarm messaging
• Hot pluggable LCD attachment replaces PCs for configuration onsite
• Supports Modbus/TCP for remote monitoring

The ioMirror E3210 provides 8 digital input and 8 digital output channels and a 10/100M Ethernet interface. Up to 8 pairs of digital input and output signals can be exchanged over Ethernet with another ioMirror E3210 as well as to a local PLC or DCS controller. Over a local area network, the ioMirror achieves low signal latency, typically 20 ms. With ioMirror servers, remote sensors can now be connected to local controllers or display panels over copper, fiber, or wireless Ethernet infrastructures. Signals can be transmitted over virtually unlimited distances, without noise problems.

The ioMirror E3210 has a 24 VDC alarm output channel that can activate an attached buzzer or display LED when the connection fails. In addition, both ioMirror modules can send messages to the event log software. This ensures that at least one of the warning messages will reach the event log software.

About Active Ethernet I/O
Active Ethernet I/O is an exciting new breed of Ethernet I/O that introduces active I/O messaging with easy logic control. Absolutely no programming is required to configure the I/O server’s control logic, due to the patented and intuitive Click&Go™ interface. Bi-directional and direct input-to-output signal communication over Ethernet is supported, and Windows/Linux APIs are included for use in both industrial automation and IT environments.
