ioLogik E1200 Series
Ethernet remote I/O
The ioLogik E1200 Series is equipped with support for commonly used protocols to retrieve I/O data, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. While most IT engineers rely on SNMP or RESTful API protocols, OT engineers are more accustomed to OT-based protocols like Modbus and EtherNet/IP.
Moxa’s Smart I/O bridges this gap, enabling both IT and OT engineers to conveniently access data from the same I/O device.
- Modbus TCP
- EtherNet/IP
- Moxa AOPC (for OT engineers)
- SNMP
- RESTful API
- Moxa MXIO library (for IT engineers)
Featured Highlights
Save Time and Wiring Costs with Peer-to-Peer Communications
In remote automation scenarios, where control rooms and sensors are often distantly separated, dealing with extensive wiring over long distances becomes an ongoing challenge.
However, the introduction of peer-to-peer networking offers a solution. Users can now pair ioLogik E1200 Series modules, allowing input values to be directly transmitted to output channels. This streamlined approach significantly simplifies the wiring process and effectively reduces associated costs.
User-Definable Modbus TCP Addressing for Painless Upgrading of Existing Systems
When dealing with Modbus devices that rely on fixed addresses for control and detection, users often find themselves investing significant time in researching and verifying initial configurations. Locating each device’s networking specifics—such as I/O channels or vendor-defined addresses—is essential to enable the initial or start address within a SCADA system or PLC.
However, devices that support user-definable Modbus TCP addressing provide a more flexible and straightforward setup. Rather than fretting over individual devices, users can simply configure the function and address map to align with their specific requirements.

Push Technology for Events
When integrated with MX-AOPC UA Server, devices can employ active push communications to relay changes in state or events to a SCADA system.
Unlike a traditional polling system, where constant queries are made, the push architecture ensures that messages are delivered only when necessary—specifically when changes occur or configured events are triggered. This approach enhances accuracy and minimizes the volume of data that needs to be transferred.

Daisy-Chained Ethernet I/O Connection
The industrial Ethernet remote I/O is equipped with 2 Ethernet ports, facilitating seamless information flow. These ports allow data to travel downstream to other local Ethernet devices or upstream to a control server via expandable daisy-chained Ethernet I/O arrays.
Applications across various domains, including factory automation, security and surveillance systems, and tunneled connections, can leverage daisy-chained Ethernet to construct multidrop I/O networks using standard Ethernet cables. This approach is familiar to many industrial automation users, as it aligns with the configuration commonly employed in fieldbus solutions.
The daisy-chain capabilities supported by ioLogik E1200 series of Ethernet remote I/O units not only increase the expandability and installation possibilities for your remote I/O applications, but also lower overall costs by reducing the need for separate Ethernet switches. Daisy-chaining devices in this way will also reduce overall labor and cabling expenses.
