Devices powered by the computer’s RS-232 port are powered by the Tx, RTS, and DTR lines. In general, the cable length should not exceed 15 meters at a speed of 9600bps. If you use a longer cable length, the transmitted power may not be enough to power the device.
MOXA devices use the standard RS-232 pinout for the DB9 Male connector.
To increase the reliability and extend the life of the power supply. We suggest using a power supply with a 30% power reserve. For example, if the device consumes 100W, then it is better to choose a power supply of 130W or more.
Increased Connected Devices. According to a survey by IDC, around 40% of the respondents will invest in automation to digitalize their industrial operations.*
MOXA devices use the standard RS-485 interface pinout for the DB9 Male connector.
For businesses that want to get the most out of their data at field sites to improve operational efficiency, OT/IT convergence is the way forward. However, most industrial equipment uses serial interfaces as they have been a reliable and cost-effective option for system communication in the past decades.
