With more and more field devices connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT), the need to keep all these "things" connected to the internet favors networked devices that can remain connected without requiring an IT engineer to reboot them when they unexpectedly crash. And while data is the most important aspect of any I/O application, before it can be used, it must be extracted from all sorts of industrial sensors and devices—an often complex and time-consuming task, not to mention the engineering resource drain.
"Moxa's ioThinx 4500 Series controllers and I/Os are modular and IIoT-ready, offering programming language capabilities, cloud connectivity, high computing power for precise control, and system-wide cybersecurity," says Austin Lin, Product Manager for Moxa's Industrial Data Acquisition and Control division. "The ioThinx 4500 series controllers and I/O are compact, intelligent, and secure, and are tailor-made for IIoT applications, in addition to providing cloud-I/O connectivity and IT/OT protocol convergence."
ioThinx 4533 IIoT Controller
• Cloud Connectivity: Save field data to the cloud with the integrated Azure/AWS/Alibaba SDK library and optimize operations with OPC UA to SCADA capabilities.
• Precision Control: Balance control and computing on a single device using a real-time OS to prioritize application configuration.
• Programming Language: Supports various programming languages, including Python and C/C++.
• System-Wide Cybersecurity Design: Systematic security protection can be applied to the hardware, OS, and library layers to help users minimize cybersecurity threats.

• Cloud Connectivity: Supports MQTT protocols, allowing connection to the cloud with just a few mouse clicks. If using a web-based HMI or NMS for data monitoring in a private cloud, you can connect via a RESTful API or SNMP, respectively.
• Automatic Reconfiguration: Making a few changes requires no reconfiguration; simply adjust the modules you wish to modify and leave the others as they are.
• Cybersecurity: The security design follows the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) concept and complies with IEC 62443 Level 1.
Get started with the ioThinx IIoT Starter Kit.
The ioThinx IIoT Starter Kit has everything you need to set up and test your cloud IT/OT applications. This starter kit includes an ioThinx 4510 remote I/O base product and an IIoT application I/O card. Since no cabling is required, you can configure MQTT, RESTful API, SNMP, and Modbus connections in just a few steps.
