MOXA IOLOGIK R1212-T IOLOGIK R1200 SERIES UNIVERSAL I/O, 8 DLS, 8 DIOS P/N 0094 17:37

The IOLOGIK R1212-T is a “Universal I/O” device because its 8 DIO (Digital Input/Output) channels are individually software-configurable. This means you can tailor each channel to your specific needs, providing exceptional flexibility.

1. Channel Breakdown:

• 8 Digital Input (DI) Channels: These are dedicated inputs for reading the state (ON/OFF) from devices like push buttons, switches, proximity sensors, or relay contacts.

• 8 Digital Input/Output (DIO) Channels: Each of these 8 channels can be individually configured to act as either:

  • A Digital Input (DI), or

  • A Digital Output (DO) for controlling devices like indicators, alarms, solenoid valves, or small relays.

This gives you a maximum flexible configuration of 16 Digital Inputs and 8 Digital Outputs, or any combination in between.

2. Key Features and Capabilities:

• Flexible I/O Configuration: The standout feature is the software-configurable DIOs, allowing for easy setup changes without rewiring.

• Built-in “T” Feature (Turbo Ring): The “-T” in the model name indicates it includes Moxa’s proprietary Turbo Ring technology. This provides fast network redundancy (recovery time < 20 ms) for highly reliable networks that must withstand a single cable break.

• Easy Integration:

  • MQTT Protocol: Native support for the lightweight MQTT protocol, ideal for IoT and SCADA systems for pushing data to brokers like AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub.

  • Modbus TCP Support: Acts as a Modbus TCP slave, making it compatible with most SCADA, HMI, and PLC systems.

• Rich Monitoring & Control Functions:

  • I/O On Demand: The module only sends data when the state changes or when polled, reducing network traffic.

  • Report by Exception: Sends data immediately when a pre-defined event (like a DI state change) occurs.

  • Counter & Frequency Measurement: The DI channels can be used to count pulses or measure the frequency of incoming signals.

• Rugged Design:

  • Operating temperature range suitable for industrial environments (-40 to 75°C).

  • Dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs for redundancy.

  • DIN-rail mounting for easy installation in control panels.

Typical Applications

The R1212-T is used for monitoring and controlling digital signals remotely over an Ethernet network. Common applications include:

• Factory Automation: Monitoring machine status (sensors, interlocks) and controlling actuators.

• Building Management Systems (BMS): Monitoring door/window contacts, smoke detectors, and controlling lighting or HVAC systems.

• Environmental Monitoring: Monitoring alarm outputs from other equipment.

• Remote Site Management: Monitoring security fences, gate status, and power failures at unmanned sites.

• Transportation Systems: Monitoring signals and controlling indicators in tunnels or along railways.

Summary Table

In essence, the Moxa IOLOGIK R1212-T (P/N 0094) is a flexible, resilient, and powerful remote I/O solution that simplifies the process of connecting a large number of digital sensors and actuators to an industrial Ethernet network.
