Ethernet technology has the unique advantage of bi-directional communication, which has given rise in the IO industry to the so-called "push" and "pull" technologies. Active Ethernet I/O uses push technology to create a new type of remote monitoring and alarm system, which is particularly well-suited for applications that rarely experience exceptions.
The following topics are covered in this white paper:
• Introduction
• The Most Common Remote Monitoring and Alarm Systems
• "Pushing" vs. "Pulling" over Ethernet
• The Newest Remote Monitoring and Alarm Solution
• Conclusion
Everybody can do programming! Moxa's Click&Go local control logic for the ioLogik Active Ethernet I/O server eliminates the cumbersome programming generally required for data acquisition, alarm messaging, and local control tasks. No knowledge of C-language or PLC ladder is required for field applications. Instead, users familiar with IF-THEN-ELSE statements will have no problem understanding the Click&Go interface and will be able to control I/O channels and alarm messaging after a few simple steps.
