Introduction
Moxa’s peripheral expansion modules, which come with serial ports, LAN ports, switch ports, and PCI slots, give end-users the greatest flexibility for setting up industrial applications. Different types of modules are available, including serial port modules, LAN port modules, switch port modules, and PCI modules, and all are fully compatible with Moxa’s embedded computers that come with perpheral expansion slots. The serial port modules include an 8-port RS-232/422/485 module with either DB9 or terminal block connectors, and an 8-port RS-422/485 module with terminal block connectors. Some modules are even designed with 2 KV digital isolation, making them fully suitable for the great demands of industrial applications that use serial communication. In addition, a 4-port LAN module, 8-port switch, and 4-port fiber LAN module are available for setting up industrial communication applications with Ethernet-based devices. A universal PCI development kit is also available for PCI-based devices for expanding industrial applications at a reasonable cost. All modules are designed to offer the greatest flexibility for setting up applications and performing industrial tasks. In particular, users can swap out modules quickly and easily.
