The advent of advanced cellular communications technology has unleashed tremendous potential in remote monitoring systems, which no longer need to be constrained by the limitations of obsolete long-range communication interfaces. This white paper explores how system integrators can close the performance gap between cellular and wired communications even further so that cellular networks can deliver advanced, bandwidth-heavy features such as live video at the central monitoring station.
Industrial computers need to be designed to withstand vibration and shock, which are a fact of life in many industrial applications. This white paper first explains some background about the physics behind vibration and shock, and then explores the specific mechanisms and technology used to build an industrial computer with high resilience against vibration and shock.
Power distribution networks use accurate timekeeping and network synchronization to coordinate widely distributed devices. This white paper provides an overview of commonly used timekeeping protocols and identifies how IEEE 1588v2 precision time protocol (PTP) can transform how your industrial network is run.
Network Video Recorder (NVR) systems are now widely used in surveillance and security applications, such as building/factory security or rolling stock video performance. Data storage is a key limitation for NVR systems, because video files take up a lot of space. Storage capacity, maintenance downtime, and overall system reliability are all major obstacles standing in the way of highly available NVR data storage systems.
Cellular Communications is quickly replacing radio communications in water resource management. This white paper provides an overview of the challenges in the existing cellular communication solutions, and identifies how Moxa’s all-in-one cellular RTU controller, which combines a cellular modem, a data logger, and an I/O controller in one box, could help you overcome the challenges in deployment and maintenance.
The architecture of 802.11 ground to train data communications requires technology that can provide uninterrupted data streams for the onboard requirements. This white paper discusses the solutions to maintain seamless connectivity at high speeds through such technology as Moxa’s Turbo Roaming deployed with Wireless Access Controllers (WACs), specialized handoff parameters that can be effectively tweaked, and multiple redundancy measures to provide failsafe data links.
Achieving the color calibration requirements for ECDIS displays presents significant challenges for display manufacturers. This white paper discusses the main challenge for display manufacturers as well as potential ways to meet that challenge.
WDS or Wireless Distribution System provides data connectivity across train carriages using wireless. Undesirably, this system has inadequate security, is bandwidth constrained and needs operator manual re-provisioning whenever the formation of the train carriages changes. This white paper illustrates how Moxa’s Auto Carriage Connection or ACC protocol eliminates these issues by providing a new inter-Access Point protocol that can provide both high bandwidth and security, and remove the need to configure the AP upon carriage reformation.
