Empower Your IIoT Applications
With Our Ignition-ready Computers

Moxa’s Ignition-ready Computers

Large industrial operators with modern IoT and digital transformation objectives need to build and manage reliable unmanned connections to hundreds of devices in harsh remote environments spanning wide geographical areas. This can be especially difficult, expensive, and time consuming if you are still using traditional proprietary solutions. Driver support from different PLC and equipment vendors can be pricey and limited. A typical edge computer and communication hardware may not be designed to withstand harsh operating conditions or recover from communication failures. Combining Ignition software with Moxa’s rugged and proven IIoT gateways and PCs provides an exceptionally reliable and cost-effective solution for PLC data acquisition with a modern MQTT or Ignition™ architecture. Inductive Automation’s Ignition offers powerful features to easily connect to most vendor devices and cloud applications while Moxa’s products renowned for their engineering and communication reliability ensure that you always have access to your critical data.

“We are long-time users of Moxa hardware running Ignition Edge and have been extremely pleased with how well this combo performs under difficult and harsh on-site conditions.”

Power and Flexibility With Ignition

With Inductive Automation’s Ignition, you can get up-to-date driver support for Allen Bradley™, Siemens™, and Omron™ equipment and serial devices that use Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3, OPC UA, UDP/TCP protocols among others. You no longer need to maintain separate protocol converters or proprietary communication modules for specific devices. In addition, you get powerful and easy-to-use tools to quickly generate tags and publish the tags to an MQTT or Sparkplug™ broker.

Performance and Reliability With Moxa

Moxa’s reputation for excellence in hardware is backed by over 35 years of engineering experience in harsh and industrial environments. Our industrial IoT gateways and fanless PCs are specifically designed for the industrial edge, so they are at home alongside PLCs and other edge equipment that operate in extreme operating conditions. Board-level thermal design and low power consumption allows units to support an astonishing -40 to 70°C operating temperature range without requiring cooling fans or heaters. Our extensive range of solutions designed for multiple industries means that you will find something off the shelf that deploys quickly and works seamlessly with your software and devices.

Application Notes

  • Edge-to-cloud Gateway
  • High-performance Edge Computer

Solution

Moxa’s rugged IIoT edge gateways with integrated LTE modems easily fit into remote cabinets. Running Ignition Edge on the gateways makes it easy to collect data from local PLCs, RTUs, and other edge devices. You can then publish the data from the edge to the cloud over a cellular connection using MQTT/Sparkplug. The powerful gateways can also scale up to handling demanding software and tag requirements.

Solution

Moxa’s rugged DIN-rail PC is powerful enough to host the complete Ignition portfolio for server and controller functionality that can integrate local operations with live data from the cloud. This industrial PC could easily connect to motors, PLCs, and gas analyzers used in the process applications of a gas plant and can run machine-learning algorithms to make real-time adjustments to sensitive chemical processes. Another Moxa PC can be deployed to run an Ignition-powered HMI that is accessible to any network-connected mobile device. Access to advanced cloud services such as Azure allows for advanced scripting that can incorporate live global weather data and make it available enterprise wide. A cloud-based Ignition instance can leverage all this information to support additional enterprise-wide visualization and dashboarding tools.
