Equipment details

“In various energy projects that require data from sensors and power meters to be displayed and analyzed on the ENOS platform, interfacing with various sensors is carried out using processing equipment. The selected processing device must be capable of functioning in a variety of environments, being durable, and having a long service life. The device should also be able to send and receive data from sensors operating over industry-standard protocols such as Modbus over RS-232/422/485 and/or a serial port, or a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. Additionally, it should be equipped to support a mini PCI slot mobile connectivity module.

Moxa brand processing equipment was chosen because it offers versatile connectivity options and features a secure operating system that has demonstrated resilience in challenging environments for an extended period.”
