Inside the Future of Industrial Ethernet Technology
The trend in industrial communications and automation
applications
As the world’s network and information technology becomes
more mature, the trend is to use Ethernet as the major
communications interface in many industrial communications
and automation applications. In fact, a whole new industry has
sprung up to provide Ethernet products that comply with the
requirements of demanding industrial applications.
Industrial vs. Commercial
Users have found that when moving Ethernet from the
comfortable office environment to the harsh and less
predictable industrial environment, the commercial Ethernet
equipment available in today’s market simply cannot meet the
high reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications.
This means that a more robust type of network equipment,
commonly referred to as industrial Ethernet equipment, is
required for these applications.
Informative vs. Passive
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the
endpoints of a system, such devices cannot always know
what’s happening elsewhere on the network. This means that
industrial Ethernet communication equipment that connects
these devices must take responsibility for providing system
maintainers with real-time alarm messages.

Introduction
Moxa EtherDevice Server comes with a suite of useful
maintenance and monitoring functions, and is designed to provide
smooth and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
You will find that Moxa EtherDevice Server establishes a new
industrial Ethernet benchmark. It is excellent for keeping
automation systems running continuously, is ideal for sending
status reports to help prevent system damages and losses, is a
great tool for mastering your industrial Ethernet networks, and is
well-suited for use with industrial device control networks.
These products have a wide operating temperature range, from -40
to 75°C, and are designed to withstand a high degree of vibration
and shock. The rugged hardware design makes ED6008 Series
perfect for ensuring that your Ethernet equipment can withstand
critical industrial applications, such as in hazardous locations
(Class 1 Division 2/ Zone 2), and complies with FCC, TÜV, UL, and
CE Standards.
