The UC-2222A-T-EU is a compact industrial computer from manufacturer Moxa, specifically developed for IIoT edge computing, remote monitoring, and industrial automation applications. The device features an energy-efficient Armv8 Cortex-A53 dual-core processor with a clock speed of 1 GHz, designed for powerful yet resource-saving processing in harsh environments. It runs on Moxa Industrial Linux, based on Debian 11 with kernel 5.10, and offers a long product lifecycle with end-of-life (EOL) until 2031, which is advantageous for planning in industrial infrastructures.

Applications

The UC-2222A-T-EU is designed for use in demanding industrial environments where high reliability, robust construction, and long service life are required. It is suitable for decentralized data processing in energy supply, rail transport, manufacturing automation, or environmental monitoring. The integrated GPS functionality enables precise positioning, which is relevant for mobile or location-based applications. The LTE Cat. 4 connection, pre-installed for the European market, ensures mobile network connectivity independent of fixed cables.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features two Gigabit Ethernet ports with RJ45 connectors, supporting data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps and equipped with 1.5 kV isolation to protect against interference and overvoltage. Two serial interfaces (RS-232/422/485) are available via terminal block and are software-configurable, allowing flexible use for various industrial communication protocols. A USB 2.0 host port (Type A) enables connection of peripheral devices. The serial data parameters are fully adjustable: baud rate from 300 bps to 921.6 kbps, data bits 5–8, parity (None, Even, Odd, Space, Mark), stop bits 1, 1.5, 2, and flow control methods such as RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, ADDC, and RTS Toggle.

Technology Explained Simply

The integrated TPM v2.0 module provides a hardware-based security feature for secure key storage and system authentication—particularly important in security-critical applications. The GPS technology supports multiple satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS) and achieves an accuracy of 2.0 m at CEP50. The time to first fix (TTFF) is 22.1 seconds for warm start and 29.9 seconds for cold start. Sensitivity up to -160 dBm enables reliable signal reception even in challenging environments. The update rate is 1 Hz, sufficient for many industrial applications.

Compatibility and Accessories

The UC-2222A-T-EU is equipped with an mPCIe slot, in which an LTE Cat. 4 module for Europe is pre-installed. This module supports frequency bands LTE B1/3/7/8/20/28A, UMTS/HSPA B1/3/8, and GSM 900/1800 MHz. The SIM card is inserted via a Nano-SIM slot. Radio approvals include CE (RED), FCC, RCM, UKCA, KC, BSMI, PTCRB, Verizon, and AT&T, enabling worldwide deployment in various markets. Mounting options include DIN rail and wall mounting (with optional kit).

Mounting and Installation

The device is housed in a metal enclosure (SECC) with protection rating IP30, protecting against solid foreign objects larger than 2.5 mm. Dimensions are 102 x 32 x 128 mm, weight 546 g. Mounting is either on a DIN rail or on the wall, with the optional mounting kit required for wall mounting. The input voltage ranges from 12 to 24 VDC, with current consumption of 900 mA (12 VDC) or 450 mA (24 VDC). Maximum power consumption is 7.8 W (without USB) and 10.5 W (with USB).

Operational Advantages

The UC-2222A-T-EU features an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 70 °C, making it suitable for use in extreme environments. Storage is possible up to 85 °C. Humidity tolerance is 5–95 % (non-condensing), and certifications according to IEC 60068-2-27 (shock) and IEC 60068-2-64 (vibration, 2 Grms, 5–500 Hz) ensure high mechanical robustness. EMC certifications (EN 55032/35, EN 61000-6-2/-6-4) and safety approval according to EN/UL 62368-1 secure operation in electromagnetically sensitive environments. Approval for hazardous areas (ATEX, Class I Div. 2) extends use to explosive environments. The MTBF is 866,622 hours according to Telcordia SR-332, indicating high operational reliability. Warranty is 5 years.

LED Indicators

Multiple LEDs are available for status indication: system LEDs for Power, USB, microSD, and SW Ready (programmable), serial TX/RX indicators per port, and two mobile network LEDs for signal strength display.

Certifications and Environment

The device complies with EMC directives (EN 55032/35, EN 61000-6-2/-6-4), EMI and EMS tests (FCC, ICES, ESD, RS, EFT, Surge, CS, PFMF according to IEC 61000 series), and safety standard EN/UL 62368-1. Environmental approvals include RoHS and WEEE, ensuring proper disposal and recycling compatibility.
