Introduction 

The ioLogik 2500 is a smart remote I/O product with unique hardware and software designs, making it an ideal solution for a variety of industrial data acquisition applications. The ioLogik 2500’s hardware design includes a 4-port unmanaged Ethernet switch and 2 serial ports, enabling the ioLogik 2500 to seamlessly connect to a variety of field devices. One of the Ethernet ports can be used to link to 8 daisy-chained ioLogik E1200 expansion modules to provide more than 100 channels. The ioLogik 2500 acts as the “head” unit, with Click&Go Plus logic used to control the entire I/O array. Most importantly, the ioLogik 2500’s single IP is all that’s required to connect the entire I/O array to your network, providing the perfect solution for industrial field sites that have an insufficient number of IP addresses.

Powerful Control Logic from the New Click&Go Plus™

The new Click&Go Plus™ control logic now supports up to 48 rules with further upgrades to 8 conditions/actions. In addition, its graphical user interface provides 3 logic gates and 3 multi-layers, helping you build more powerful and efficient IO solutions. Once you finish setting up your Click&Go Plus™ logic rules, IOxpress’s easy-to-use simulation function can be used to find potential errors in your Click&Go Plus™ rules before uploading them to your online devices.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) mode is widely used for industrial applications. Traditionally, you would need to use P2P devices on both sides of the connection. However, if a configuration mismatch occurred between the P2P devices, the P2P connection would fail, after which you would need to spend extra time and effort to check the P2P settings. With IOxpress, all you need to do is set up the output device, and the P2P connection will be established automatically.

 One IP for Multiple Expansion I/Os Gives You a Smarter Data Acquisition Solution
The ioLogik 2500’s unique IO expansion hardware design lets you link up to 8 ioLogik E1200 modules into a versatile I/O array with 100+ different I/O channels. The ioLogik 2500 acts as the perfect “head” unit, using Click&Go Plus logic to control the entire I/O array, and providing a single IP to connect the entire I/O array to your network.

VPN—Build a Reliable and Secure Cellular Communication Network 
For security purposes, the ioLogik 2500-GPRS/HSPA also supports IPSec for building a secure VPN tunnel to the host station. With the help of VPNs, cellular devices acting as a VPN client can initiate a connection with a VPN server. Once the connection is established, cellular devices can communicate with other network devices on the same private network.

Powerful Datalogger and Value-added MODBUS Gateway
The ioLogik 2500 supports micro SD cards with up to 32 GB of memory, turning the ioLogik into a powerful datalogger for storing valuable data. And with a built-in FTP server, important data from field sites can be accessed remotely by different systems. In addition, the 2 serial communication ports can be used to input data from devices using the Modbus RTU protocol, and then transform the data into Modbus TCP or AOPC tag format before sending it out over the Ethernet network.

New MX-AOPC UA Server Efficiently Reduces System Response Time
The new MX-AOPC UA supports both UA server and DA server types. MX-AOPC UA server has a number of strengths. UA server provides a standard, state of the art security model, assuring your system’s security, and supports communication channels via the standard UA TCP port. This means that messages can be relayed through third party proxies. In addition, configuring the firewall is be easier, since you won’t need to worry about DCOM settings.

In addition, MX-AOPC supports both the traditional Modbus protocol and Moxa’s patented Push type communication. Unlike the traditional passive “pull” method, “active” messages are automatically “pushed” from the ioLogik 2500 to the SCADA system when the I/O state changes or pre-configured events occur. In this way, information can be accurately and efficiently pushed to the SCADA system as it becomes available.
