The Moxa ioLogik E1512-M12-T is a robust Ethernet remote I/O module, specifically designed for use in rail and rail vehicle applications. It is intended for decentralized data acquisition and control in industrial environments with high requirements for reliability and environmental resistance. The device complies with standards EN 50121-3-2, EN 50121-4, and parts of EN 50155, ensuring high electromagnetic compatibility and stable operation under extreme conditions. The design takes into account the specific requirements of rail transport, including high vibrations and varying ambient temperatures.

Applications

The ioLogik E1512-M12-T is intended for use in trains and other rail vehicles, where reliable and low-maintenance control of peripheral devices is required. It is suitable for applications such as monitoring door statuses, lighting, air conditioning systems, or signaling systems. The ability to flexibly configure digital inputs and outputs allows adaptation to different system requirements without hardware modifications. Compliance with rail standards makes it suitable for use in railway infrastructure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The module features four digital I/Os, which can be configured via software as digital inputs (DI) or digital outputs (DO). The inputs support both Dry Contact (short to GND for ON, open for OFF) and Wet Contact (10–30 VDC for ON, 0–3 VDC for OFF). The outputs operate in Open Collector (Sink) mode with a current rating of 200 mA per channel. The outputs can also be operated as pulse outputs, with a maximum frequency of 500 Hz. The inputs can be used as event counters, with a counting frequency of up to 250 Hz. Channel-to-channel isolation is 3 kVDC or 2 kVrms, providing high electrical safety.

Technology Explained Simply

The network interface consists of a 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port with M12 connector, D-coded, 4-pin (female). The integrated isolation is 1.5 kV, enhancing safety against electrical disturbances. The module supports protocols Modbus TCP (as slave), MXIO Library, and MX-AOPC (Active Tag), enabling integration into existing SCADA systems. Configuration is performed via a web browser (HTTP) or the ioSearch software under Windows. Management is done via BOOTP, DHCP client, HTTP, TCP/IP, and UDP. The operating temperature ranges from -40 to 85 °C, enabling use in extreme climatic conditions. Humidity is 5 to 95 % (non-condensing), and the maximum operating altitude is 2000 m. The housing is made of aluminium, providing high mechanical stability and heat dissipation.
