Launching an Internet of Things or Industry 4.0 initiative is pretty straightforward with new equipment designed for such applications. But what about all the legacy serial devices you have in place that still function properly?
由于少数公司愿意撕裂并取代其生产系统的功能组件，因此Moxa已发布其NPORT IA（W）5000A-I / O系列有线或无线串行设备服务器和MGATE 5105-MB-EIP系列协议网关即可运行的云连接功能。
Moxa said these devices can collect multiple different field data structures, including serial, I/O, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP. Both the server and gateway devices use theMQTT.messaging protocol to transmit data securely to Microsoft Azure or other publicly and privately hosted cloud services for analysis.
The NPort IA5000A-I/O and NPort IAW5000A-I/O serial device servers feature built-in digital I/O to integrate serial equipment in the field with an Ethernet network or cloud platform. Both servers collect serial or I/O data for cloud applications.
Mgate 5105-MB-EIP是用于Modbus RTU / ASCII / TCP和以太网/ IP网络通信的工业以太网网关。要将Modbus设备集成到以太网/ IP网络上，Mgate 5105-MB-EIP可用作Modbus主站或从站收集数据和使用以太网/ IP设备进行交换数据。
tha设备设计用户界面t full implementation can be completed in a few steps, according to Moxa. “We provide a simple web user interface to direct users to configure the device to get serial data (or fieldbus data) to the cloud,” said Katie Tang, project lead for Moxa’s industrial device connectivity product marketing department.
Tang suggested that engineers interested in these technologies should view videos for the纳沃andMGate设备查看用户界面如何有助于设备设置。
支持设备的诊断工具，以帮助用户识别连接问题，以便各种现场设备可以在保护数据完整性和网络安全时共享云中的数据。“两个设备都带有一个IOT连接监控页面，使用户通过端口提供连接状态，诊断日志和数据统计信息，”唐。“特别是，诊断日志将突出显示连接问题，并为用户建议任何配置特定问题，以解决可能是问题的问题。”
