Operating System Support

Support for Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and DOS with user-friendly installation, configuration and performance.

MOXA Serial Comm Tools

For application development, MOXA provides an easy-to-use serial communication library under Windows NT, Windows 95/98 (PComm) and DOS (API-232). Users can use this library to develop your own applications using Microsoft C, Turbo C, Assembly, QuickBASIC, Turbo Pascal, Clipper, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, etc. Utilities, such as diagnostic, monitor, terminal emulator, etc., are included for debugging or monitoring the communication status or terminal emulator, or even file transferring.

Surge/Isolation Protection

To meet the demand of high reliability in industrial environment and to prevent the boards from damage caused by lighting or high potential voltage, an optical isolation option (2KV DC) and surge block option (25KV ESD) are available. This is critical to harsh environment such as factory.

Broad Applications

The board is suitable for many applications. Here are a few:

!Multipoint data acquisition

!Factory automation

!Remote serial device control

!Industrial control

!Embedded industrial machine

!SCADA
