Robust and compact design for harsh environments
Precise Data Acquisition Moxas ioPAC 5500 RTUs offer 250 Hz-level analog input sampling rate, giving engineers the analog data precision they need to correctly analyze events. In addition, the analog input pre-recording function allows the ioPAC 5500 RTUs to continuously record analog input data before an event trigger point for improved data completeness. | |
Sustainable System Reliability The ioPAC 5500 is designed for data acquisition in all harsh environments. It can operate from -40 to 75°C (-30 to 75°C for HSPA models) with UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2. It supports EN 50121-4 for the railway industry, with rail-level surge and ESD protection. | |
Easy Data Acquisition Moxas ioPAC 5500 RTU controllers come with Moxas patented Active OPC server and DA-Center software. Active OPC server adds a non-polling architecture to the standard OPC protocol, giving users the advantage of push-based communication from Moxas controllers to the SCADA systems. DA-Center, on the other hand, provides a standard OPC interface that interacts with Moxa Active OPC Server for real-time data collection. | |
Easy to Deploy Moxas ioPAC 5500 RTU controllers are compact and come with two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (two MACs, port-trunking ready), and two 3-in-1 serial ports, making the ioPAC 5500 ideal for cabinets with limited space. |
