MXview's Live Topology Map for Easy Network Management

Moxa’s MXview industrial network management software is designed to analyze, monitor, configure, and troubleshoot remote network connections formed by Moxa’s managed Ethernet switches, wireless AP/bridge/client, and other SNMP networked devices for industrial automation. MXview visualizes the physical wiring map of your network via a simple, user-friendly web browser UI for remote management. You can easily track real-time network status, identify failure points quickly, and reduce the troubleshooting response time of complex and critical network operations with MXview.

Features

• Automatic discovery of 2000 networked devices
• 2-layer live-view topology maps
• SNMP Inform for reliable event notification
• Centralized device configuration and firmware management
• Visualization for easy diagnosis and troubleshooting

Control over SNMP Devices from Your SCADA/HMI

Moxa's EDS-SNMP OPC Server Pro software uses OPC to convert SNMP traps into OPC tags that can be seamlessly integrated into OPC compatible HMI/SCADA systems. This powerful function allows you to link an HMI to the control network and act as a remote monitoring tool for network traffic and status.

Industrial Ethernet Resilience

Turbo Ring Technology

Moxa Turbo Ring is a proprietary self-healing technology that enables fast fault recovery of under 20 ms (at a full load of 250 switches). Turbo Ring supports three topology options--ring coupling, dual-ring, and dual homing--to reduce redundant network cabling and network planning costs and to ensure the high reliability of your industrial network applications.

Case Study

• Realize safe railway transport
• Oil pipeline project

Features

• Constant availability
• Flexible ring topology
• Lower total cost of ownership

Turbo Chain Technology

Moxa's Turbo Chain is an innovative breakthrough that allows the creation of multiple redundant networks beyond the current limitations of redundant ring technology. Turbo Chain is easy to configure by linking two user-configured end ports within the same segment. Turbo Chain easily connects and extends existing redundant networks by enabling high network availability with its self-healing capability (recovery time < 20 ms). In addition, Turbo Chain supports standard IEEE 802.1w/D RSTP and STP protocols.

Compared with ring coupling solutions or a network redesign, Moxa Turbo Chain is more flexible and cost-efficient and has the potential to save a significant amount on development costs, time, effort, cabling, and Ethernet ports.

Case Study

• Highly available wide-ranging wayside network
• Remote monitoring and control for a windmill generator

Features

• Flexible ring topology
• Unlimited network expansions
• Fast fault recovery
• Cost-effective configurations
