Moxa has released EtherNet/IP integration functions in the latest V3.0 firmware upgrade. The EtherNet/IP integration function provides seamless integration with EtherNet/IP systems, such as Rockwell's FactoryTalk and RSLogix 5000.
With the latest V3.0 firmware, Moxa managed industrial Ethernet switches now can be diagnosed, configured and securely monitored by EtherNet/IP SCADA/HMI and PLC.
In both the US and other global regions, EtherNet/IP is commonly used in industrial automation applications, such as water treatment plants, manufacturing facilities and utilities, for communication with various vendors' control systems such as Rockwell Automation.
With the free-to-download V3.0 firmware upgrade, in a few simple steps, Moxa managed industrial Ethernet switches become visible, controllable, manageable components in a customer's control network.
The EtherNet/IP packaged within the V3.0 firmware has been released on Moxa's website for both the EDS-405A/408A and EDS-505A/508A/510A/516A/518A series, and will be released soon for EDS-608/ 611/ 616/ 619, EDS-728, IKS, PT, and TN series. Besides EtherNet/IP, the V3.0 firmware also supports new features such as MSTP, TACACS+, Hybrid VLAN and CLI.
