Active Ethernet I/O servers compatible with NI LabVIEW 8

MOXA has announced that its ioLogik E2000 Active Ethernet I/O servers are compatible with NI LabVIEW 8. Active ethernet I/O is a powerful new concept in remote data acquisition where I/O events trigger customised messages that are instantly sent to host computers. Active Ethernet I/O supports traditional Modbus/TCP for maximum compatibility with existing applications.

97 Moxa has announced that its ioLogik E2000 Active Ethernet I/O servers are compatible with NI LabVIEW 8. Active ethernet I/O is a powerful new concept in remote data acquisition where I/O events trigger customised messages that are instantly sent to host computers. Active Ethernet I/O supports traditional Modbus/TCP for maximum compatibility with existing applications.

As MOXA points out, whereas I/O servers are traditionally passive and must be polled for data, the Active Ethernet I/O server reports and controls I/O status based on user-specified conditions. This report-by-exception approach, new to PC-based I/O monitoring, is claimed to require far less bandwidth than traditional polling methods. Critical sensor data can be obtained immediately instead of being subject to polling intervals.

In the enforcement sector, the concept of technology provider also being responsible for operations is hardly a new one. Nevertheless, it has gained significant traction over the last five or six years and has the potential to radically change the complexion of the industry according to Jenoptik Robot’s Director, Sales Ralf Schmitz.
