Introduction
Project Introduction
A company in Taiwan needed powerful front-end controllers to deal with front-end SCADA tasks, such as data computing, data acquisition, and graphics control. These controllers need to deliver reliable and stable substation operations in order to reduce the front-end workload. Each substation requires four to five computers to perform these tasks
System Requirements
• x86-based computers as the front-end controller
• Fanless and robust design
• Reliable and powerful controller for data acquisition, data computing, and graphics control
Moxa Solution
Based on the x86-architecture, the DA-710 computers can perform various industrial tasks such as data acquisition and data computing. Their powerful performance reduces the front-end workload and they can easily manage the front-end substation devices. Moxa's DA-710 computers are particularly well-suited for the distributed architecture of the substation since they can be used with the SCADA system and come with various serial ports, and digital input/output channels. In addition, the four Ethernet ports can be used to establish network redundancy and provide continuous system operation.
Why Moxa
• x86-based computer with powerful performance
• Capable of performing many tasks to reduce front-end workload
• A variety of interfaces for different device connections
• Fanless and robust design
