The ioThinx 4510 is not just a modular I/O. It also comes with a built-in Modbus gateway for collecting field-site serial data. With the ability to convert between multiple protocols, Moxa’s ioThinx 4510 can convert the collected I/O and serial data to protocols suitable for different upper-level software. For example, cloud service via MQTT, SCADA via Modbus TCP, NMS via SNMP, and more. This two-in-one design reduces system complexity, the amount of space required in the network topology, and overall installation time. You can also connect your legacy devices to Ethernet, thereby increasing the lifetime of the devices since you can continue using the devices’ original protocols.
