Moxa Networking, a manufacturer of industrial ethernet products, displayed its total solution for "Video, Voice and Data Over One Network" at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES show from November 22 to 24, 2005, in Nuremberg, Germany.

Each year, the SPS show attracts automation players, especially for manufacturing automation, from all over the world.

At this 3-day show, Moxa exhibited its latest products, and attracted many interested visitors to their booth.

Product lines exhibited included Industrial Ethernet Switches, Media Converters, Wireless AP/Bridge/AP Client, NPort IA Industrial Serial Device Servers, Network I/O Servers, Embedded Computers, and Video over IP Servers.

All products generated much interest from people visiting the show.

Moxa's two new Gigabit Ethernet Switches - EDS-726 and EDS-518, both of which are ideal for industrial control and automation applications - generated a particular amount of interest at the show.

EtherDeviceTM Switch EDS-726 is a 26-port modular Gigabit managed switch that supports a redundant Gigabit Ethernet Turbo Ring.

This highly versatile, high performance switch meets the demands of harsh industrial applications.

EtherDeviceTM Switch EDS-518, an 18-port Gigabit managed switch, supports many intelligent network management functions, including QoS, IGMP Snooping/GMRP, VLAN, and IEEE 802.1X.

Another product featured at the show was AWK-1100, an Industrial IEEE 802.11g Wireless AP/Bridge/AP Client, which is designed to be used with Ethernet switches and other Ethernet-ready devices to provide ready access to a wireless LAN.

Attractive features include WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security capability, operating temperature range from 0 to 60C, and redundant power inputs.

In addition to the Industrial Ethernet Switch series and Wireless Ethernet products, Moxa's Network I/O server solution - ioLogik 4000 series - also got a big response.

Moxa ioLogik 4000 is designed to connect a variety of sensors, and electrical, electronic, and mechanical devices to computers and applications over standard Ethernet networks and the Internet, helping to link the analog world with the digital world.
