Moxa ioLogik E2260 , Ethernet-I/O with Ethernet, 6 RTD, 4 DO content_copy

The ioLogik E2260 from Moxa is an intelligent Ethernet I/O module from the ioLogik E2200 series, designed for decentralized data acquisition and control in industrial applications. The device features an integrated Click&Go™ logic control that supports up to 24 event-based control rules and alarm functions without requiring an external PC. Unlike conventional PLC systems that rely on continuous data polling, the E2260 uses push-based communication via the MX-AOPC UA Server, actively transmitting status changes and events to SCADA systems. This reduces network bandwidth and improves operational response time.

Applications
This module is particularly suitable for applications requiring high demands on response speed, safety, and flexibility, such as in power supply, environmental monitoring, or transportation. The integrated real-time clock with battery backup enables precise timestamping of events, which is important for monitoring and logging tasks. Support for protocols such as Modbus TCP (Server), SNMPv1/v2c/v3, MXIO, MX-AOPC UA, CGI, and Modbus RTU Master (RS-485) ensures flexible integration into existing IT and automation infrastructures.

Functions and Features in Detail
The ioLogik E2260 features 6 RTD inputs suitable for measuring resistance thermometers such as PT100, PT1000, or NI100, as well as 4 digital outputs with a current rating of 200 mA and a pulse frequency up to 1 kHz. The outputs can be used for switching loads up to 5 A at 250 VAC. Configuration is performed via a web browser, the ioAdmin software for Windows, or through DHCP, HTTP, and BOOTP. Integrated security is supported by SNMPv3 with authentication and HMAC encryption, enabling secure communication in IT networks.

Technology Explained Simply
The device operates with a supply voltage of 12 to 36 VDC and consumes between 95 and 202 mA at 24 VDC, with the exact value depending on the model. Power supply is via a screw terminal. The Ethernet interface supports 10/100BaseT(X) with an RJ45 connector and galvanic isolation of 1.5 kV, ensuring high immunity to interference. Additionally, an RS-485 interface (terminal block, 2-wire) is available. Status indicators for power supply (PWR), operational readiness (RDY), serial communication (Serial), and I/O status enable quick visual inspection of the device’s operating state.

Compatibility and Accessories
The ioLogik E2260 is compatible with the MXIO Library for Windows and Linux, facilitating integration into various operating system environments. Communication occurs via standardized industrial protocols, enabling connection to SCADA systems, visualization software, or other control systems. The product series also supports configuration via web browser and the ioAdmin utility, simplifying setup and maintenance.
