Extending Industrial Reliability to Control Rooms
Today, automation control systems are expected to provide greater operational visibility of manufacturing processes throughout the organization, from field sites to the control room, so as to reduce the cost of operations, maximize return, and ensure operator safety. However, system integrators who try to deploy an integrated industrial network face one unique challenge: their network is more vulnerable in the control room than at field sites.

Create Error-free Inter-carriage Connections Automatically
WDS or Wireless Distribution System provides data connectivity across train carriages using wireless. Undesirably, this system is has inadequate security, is bandwidth constrained and needs operator manual re-provisioning whenever the formation of the train carriages changes. This white paper illustrates how Moxa's Auto Carriage Connection or ACC protocol eliminates these issues by providing a new inter-Access Point protocol that can provide both high bandwidth and security, and remove the need to configure the AP upon carriage reformation.
