Industrial Ethernet in Utility AutomationSix billion people in more than 200 countries reside on this planet, the majority of which have basic necessities provided by utility companies. Two of the most basic necessities are electricity and water. Demand for power and clean water is increasing rapidly as emerging countries become more and more developed. The volume of wastewater that is produced requires special handling to address the worldwide concern of environmental protection. With regard to developed coun-tries, attention is focused on managing power consumption by maximizing efficiency. At the same time, forward-thinking countries are continuing to explore better ways to harness alternative sources of power such as wind power and solar power. As the technology develops, tight integration and sophisticated information management will become primary concerns. Much progress continues to be made by adapting existing IT expertise, but environmental conditions in the field requires specialized solutions.

Industrial Ethernet in Manufacturing AutomationIn the world of mass production, increasing productivity is an ongoing goal. Major decisions are influenced by production

yields, total costs, and the flow of information. Since plants are located in many different places around the world, effec-

tive integration of information is critical, especially since operations typically revolve around large amounts of machinery

housed within each plant. Major production issues include safety, security, maintenance, and training costs. As Ethernet

technology is adopted from the office to the factory floor, even higher levels of efficiency and productivity are expected.

Industrial Ethernet in Transportation AutomationModern society cannot function without transportation in all its forms, whether it involves seaports, airports, rail traffic, road traffic or city traffic. Escalating demands places a growing strain on existing transportation systems, making it necessary to establish intelligent systems, manage traffic congestion, while minimizing environmental impacts. Planners are already weighing the potential benefits of using advanced technologies, but developing common tools and handling the transition are major challenges. Many planners are beginning to recognize that existing Ethernet technology may fulfill all the needs of a modern transportation system including the need for reduced maintenance costs. Furthermore, Ethernet promises limitless potential for future integration of advanced services. As transportation systems everywhere are updated and overhauled, planners will turn to industrial Ethernet as the backbone of the new infrastructure.

Industrial Ethernet in Security and SurveillanceEffective security and surveillance solutions for managing critical infrastructures such as airports, railway stations, oil

refineries, government buildings, nuclear and power plants require functionality that goes beyond the capabilities of

traditional VCR-based CCTV systems. To meet today’s demanding requirements, ideal surveillance solutions must provide

greater intelligence, higher bandwidth, system redundancy, easier data backup, auto recovery and remote maintenance,

in addition to scalability for future developments. In response to the above-mentioned market requirements, there is an

increasing trend toward using industrial Ethernet switches and media converters for security applications.

Khurais Oil & Gas Wellhead Remote Monitoring and Maintenance Communication Network

Saudi Aramco, the state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia, is the world’s largest oil corporation in terms of proven crude oil reserves and production. At the end of 2006, its annual production of crude oil neared 3.4 billion barrels. As their oil and gas fields often spread across vast distances in a severe desert climate, Aramco needs a reliable monitoring system to address harsh environmental conditions. At the same time, a high bandwidth for transmitting data, voice, and video is also required for better wellhead monitoring.

System Requirements

• Industrial-grade devices that are capable of operating well under

extreme temperatures

• An efficient network with high bandwidth for data, voice, and video transmission

• A reliable network for long-distance transmission between oil and gas fields

• Certified explosion-proof devices for hazardous locations

• Fast auto-recovery to prevent data loss in case the network goes down

Moxa Solution

This operation covers 500 widespread oil, gas, and water wells located in Khurais

area. Aramco developed a remote monitoring system, including wellhead SCADA

and CCTV, and wellhead control automation, which includes compressor control,

pumping unit control, gas lift control, and injection control. RTUs (Remote Terminal

Units) and PLCs are used to collect and forward these data. IP phone, CCTV and

Moxa’s VPort 351-T are also implemented on site for maintenance and security

service. Each oil field uses a VPort 351-T industrial video encoder that connects

to the camera through a coaxial cable, and the other side connects to Moxa’s

EDS-510A-1GT2SFP-T industrial managed Ethernet switches for video image

encoding and transmission. The EDS-510A-1GT2SFP-T was chosen to connect

those devices and form a communication network with GOSP (Gas Oil Separa-

tion Process) substations. Each substation uses Ethernet switches to connect to

the main ring topology, and the reliability of the network is enhanced by coupling

sub-rings together. The ring topology and coupling are realized with the EDS-510A-

1GT2SFP-T switches, which support Turbo Ring redundancy with a recovery time

of less than 20 ms.

With an open standard Ethernet and Gigabit port design, the EDS-510A-1GT2SFP-

T can fulfill the voice, video and data transmission for oil well monitoring, and its

extended operating temperature range (-40~75°C) is especially well suited for

applications in harsh industrial environments. In addition, the EDS-510A-1GT2SFP-

T switches are DNV and Class 1, Div. 2 certified to ensure reliable operation and

communication between oil and gas fields and the control centers.

Enhancing Power Transmission Reliability over an Extensive Railway Network

Rail transport is one of the primary modes of transportation in Japan, carrying 22.24 billion passengers in 2006. The passengers rely heavily on rail transit and take it for granted that trains operate on time. The power system is one of the major components in railway operation, so special emphasis is placed to ensure its reliability.

The Midosuji subway line in Osaka, Japan implemented a rail electrifica-tion system based on 750 VDC third rail technology where traction power substations energize the third rail to power the trains and onboard ameni-ties. The power system is also served by an emergency shutdown system (ESD) to minimize the consequences of emergency situations and to en-sure reliable and sustainable power transmission.

System Requirements

• A power control system to ensure reliable and sustainable power supply for the

trains and necessary facilities onboard.

• Fast redundant ring technology and ring coupling typology function to combine

subsystems into the backbone.

• Communication devices capable of VLAN configuration to operate station-seg-

ment.

• Long-haul transmission capability for the communication devices to operate

across an extensive railway network.

Moxa Solution

There are several traction power substations established along the Midosuji line’s

electric railway. In order to monitor and control its power transmission remotely,

the railway company deployed several units of TCR (Telemeter Control Remote)

along the traction substations. Moxa’s EDS-510A-3SFP Gigabit managed Ethernet

switches were deployed in the subsystem to connect protection relays and remote

I/Os for data collection. In the event of an emergency, such as a power overload,

the EDS-510A-3SFP will give a warning relay for immediate shutdown. Additionally,

the railway company chose WDM-type (BiDi) SFP modules to save on cabling costs

for the extensive railway network. The modules are capable of transmitting data up

to 40 km and require only one fiber cable to transmit and receive data.

Along the traction substations are numerous Ethernet redundant rings formed by

a total of 100 EDS-510A-3SFP Ethernet switches. Different VLANs are assigned to

each redundant ring according to the location of the train stations that operate each

station segment. In order to integrate the subsystems into the main system, two of

the EDS-510A Ethernet switches on each of the redundant rings used ring coupling

technology to connect different LANs of the Gigabit backbone. The EDS-510A

series supports self-healing technology with a recovery time of less than 20 ms,

enhancing non-stop network connections for power monitoring and control. This

feature greatly improves the reliability of the railway network’s power system.

Extra Reliable Power Control System for Power Substations

The Jiaozhou Electric Power Group (JEPG) is a state-owned enterprise in Shandong, China, that owns a high-quality, large capacity power grid with two 220 KV transformer substations, five 110 KV transformer substations, and twenty-two 35 KV transformer substations.

JEPG upgraded their network system in 2007 in response to the need for a reliable integrated video and data network for remote monitoring. The original power distribution system used point-to-point Ethernet fiber access communication with a radio communication system for backup. However, using radio for backup is considered less reliable since trans-mission is subjected to affect by the weather and the height of surround-ing buildings. The upgraded system uses an Ethernet ring topology for the power distribution system and combines the power distribution system, video surveillance network, and office automation into a single network.

System Requirements

• The customer planned to integrate a power distribution automation system, office

network, and video surveillance system into a single network.

• The Jiaozhou Electric Power Group wanted to use a communication network

backup system that was more reliable and stable than radio wave transmission.

• The network requires a high bandwidth to transmit data and video simultaneously

for real-time monitoring.

Moxa Solution

The Jiaozhou Electric Power Group has 30 substations located in three differ-

ent counties. In order to guarantee more reliable remote monitoring for power

distribution, the Jiaozhou Group deployed an Ethernet ring typology for their power

control system. Based on the locations of the 30 substations, three Ethernet rings

formed from Moxa’s EDS-510A-3SFP Gigabit managed Ethernet switches were

established. The rings used Moxa’s patented Turbo Ring technology for the backup

system. The power distribution system’s protection relays are connected directly

to the EDS-510A-3SFP switches, which together form a ring topology protected

by Moxa’s own Turbo Ring protocol to guarantee millisecond-level recovery in the

event of network failure. In addition, each EDS-510A-3SFP switch is connected

with a workstation for video surveillance to give system maintainers an efficient

means of monitoring operations at the field sites. The EDS-510A switches come

equipped with three Gigabit Ethernet ports to provide a high bandwidth solution

that provides the power needed for a redundant Gigabit Turbo Ring backbone, and

leaves a spare Gigabit port for uplink to the core switches.

Wireless Automated Meter Reading for Power Distribution

In the Americas and Europe, electric power is provided by a number of private power plants distributed over wide areas. Optimizing distribution and transmission to meet market de-mand is always a challenge, particu-larly since power suppliers need to monitor data usage and combine the data for power generation, distribu-tion, and transmission.

The customer in this application supplies power and provides other management services to western states in the US. The company provides leadership and manage-ment of power supply options and continues to implement increasingly sophisticated power management techniques and innovative technolo-gies, giving the utilities in the region the ability to offer low-cost power options at stable prices.

System Requirements

• Long range wireless transmission (satellite, GPRS, WCDMA, microwave, etc.) over

wide territories.

• Need to transmit data in a low bandwidth network environment.

• Self-monitor connection status, when the connection fails, system reboots to

restore communication.

Moxa Solution

A well-designed communications structure is important for monitoring the power

distribution efficiently. The customer used a current transformer together with a

meter to measure how much electricity has been used. When current flows through

the current transformer, the meter transmits a pulse output, and Moxa’s ioLogik

E2212 is used to keep track of how much energy has been used. In addition, the

ioLogik E2212’s active report function helps deliver event messages automatically,

and send the counter value back to the central site every few seconds for genera-

tion and distribution references.

This kind of remote monitoring system is often installed in the middle of nowhere,

making maintenance both challenging and costly. To ensure the communication

system is stable, ioLogik’s watchdog timer was used to monitor the connection

status. If the communication fails, the ioLogik E2212 will send an output to an

external relay timer that shuts the system down for five minutes before restarting

the system. In addition to active messaging and the watchdog timer, another major

benefit is Moxa’s simple and intuitive IF-THEN-ELSE Click&Go control logic, which

helps users reduce programming time from days to minutes, and also helps to keep

maintenance costs at a minimum.

Small RTU Concept in Smart Grid for Broadband over Power Lines (BPL)

Broadband Internet access is already being enjoyed in densely populated areas and developed regions, but since some rural and less developed areas still do not have broadband service, some companies have inves-tigated how to provide reliable and cost effective broadband service to these areas. One of the key issues was determining the best technology to use for the last mile of the con-nection. Since the deployment and use of wired systems in remote areas is usually not feasible due to the high cost, wireless is the best candidate. In this application we describe a pilot project that uses power lines to pro-vide wireless broadband service. The solution combines the power distri-bution grid with Wi-Fi technology to create reliable, high-capacity, and cost effective network access. The main advantage of BPL (Broadband Power Line) technology is that the last mile of access is achieved using the power grid, eliminating the need to create an additional infrastructure.

System Requirements

• All I/O status can be controlled with the SNMP protocol

• Event response control is based on Ethernet communication status

• Support for periodic control

• Download configuration and firmware remotely

In the world of IT, engineers like to use the SNMP protocol to manage information

and control devices. Traditionally, SNMP was used only with network devices, but

with Moxa’s ioLogik products, IT engineers can now use SNMP to monitor physical

I/O signals.

Moxa Solution

Providing broadband access to end users through the electric power grid is

achieved through a Wi-Fi network. With Wi-Fi technology, LV (low voltage) power

lines are not needed. Data packets travel along the power line in the 1 to 34 MHz

frequency range together with the electric current, which is transmitted at 50 or

60 Hz. Users can then use Wi-Fi to connect to the BPL communication grid. The

BPL network has been installed on two MV (Medium Voltage) lines with a total

length of 70 km. The network includes 110 BPL units that are used for monitoring.

In addition, Moxa’s ioLogik E2210 has been installed in each BPL unit. The system

diagram illustrates how the Moxa ioLogik monitors the status of Wi-Fi communica-

tion. When communication is lost, the Wi-Fi access point is restarted automatically

by the ioLogik. The ioLogik sends out a pulse output to trigger the indicator light

on the tower, making it possible to monitor all I/O signals from a central site with

SNMP. In addition, users can control the irrigation pumps remotely with SNMP

protocol.

Ethernet Switches Interconnect Award-winning Wastewater Treatment Plant

The City of Carmel owns and oper-ates a wastewater treatment facility that processes and treats sanitary waste from Carmel, Clay Waste Dis-trict, Westfield, and Hamilton West-ern Utilities. The plant runs continu-ously 24/7 and has the capacity to treat 12 million gallons of wastewater every day. The innovative strategies and high standards at the wastewa-ter facility were recognized by the US Environmental Protection Agency which called it the “best municipal plant in its class”.

The customer needed to upgrade and expand their SCADA system. The main objective was to create a reli-able network that included existing equipment sites along with additional locations while ensuring that scal-able technology and bandwidth are available for future growth.

System Requirements

• Fiber connections were required as it was easy to deploy for longer distances

throughout the facility, to offer immunity to EMI and RFI, and to eliminate any

potential ground loops.

• The need to network legacy serial devices that communicate via RS-232 and

RS-485 connections.

• Protocol flexibility that permits Ethernet networks to integrate existing devices by

using serial device servers.

Moxa Solution

The Carmel Wastewater Treatment Utility needed to interconnect a combination of

components within both new and existing buildings at their facility. Legacy devices

that transmit data through serial ports had to be integrated with the newer Ethernet-

ready components.

Moxa’s NPort serial device servers were deployed to accomplish this task. How-

ever, a bigger concern was how to set up the industrial Ethernet network. The plant

chose the EDS-726 26-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch for the control build-

ing since it provides multiple, easy to configure and modularized ports that support

multi-mode fiber connections, which is necessary to cover the long distances of the

entire plant site. In addition, the EDS-726 can handle the entire PLC data collection

essential requirements for central control by mixing and matching both copper and

fiber ports, while at the same time leaving room for additional expansion ports in

the future. In addition to the EDS-726, the plant used a combination of managed

EDS-508-MM-SC and unmanaged EDS-308-MM-SC switches to connect directly

to PLCs, HMIs, and edge devices located in seven other buildings. These switches

permit a 10/100 Mbps bandwidth with a combination of copper (RJ45) and fiber

port (SC or ST) connections. The plug-and-play capability of unmanaged switches

that use Ethernet, along with TCP/IP connectivity, sharply reduced the costs as-

sociated with configuration and reconfiguration.

Suzuki’s Automobile Plant Uses Ethernet Solution to Integrate Assembly and Painting Operations

Magyar Suzuki Rt. has manufactured more than 500,000 cars since 1992, and has been the market leader in Hungary’s new car market for six years. The company produces a quarter of all Suzuki’s sold in West-ern Europe, and exports more than 50,000 cars each year. Recently, Magyar Suzuki upgraded the sys-tem at its assembly and paint shop floor. Since automobile plants must maintain a very precise manufactur-ing process, the factory needs to implement an electronic manage-ment system that is both reliable and redundant to increase productivity, without sacrificing safety.

System Requirements

Currently, the Magyar Suzuki’s assembly shop floor has nine sub-assembly sta-

tions. Each assembly station uses a master PLC which is connected via fieldbus

network to control equipment used in the assembly process at the station. The

master PLCs use fiber optic Ethernet to communicate with each other and with the

data server. As each car enters the assembly line, the car’s VIN (Vehicle Identifica-

tion Number) is read from an RFID tag. The master PLC exchanges data with the

data server, and in reply gets all of the information it needs about the car through

the Ethernet LAN.

Moxa Solution

The assembly shop floor adopts a dual-redundant concept for the network of as-

sembly lines. The main communication network connecting the assembly stations

and paint stations uses a redundant ring topology formed by Moxa’s EDS- 408A-

MM-SC managed switches. If any of the cable connections gets disconnected,

the network will automatically return to normal in less than 20 ms, and the Moxa

EDS-408A-MM-SC switch will send an error message to notify the administrator.

In addition, each master PLC is connected to two separate EDS-408A-MM-SC

switches to provide device redundancy.

The Ethernet network formed by the EDS-408A-MM-SC switches turns the assem-

bly lines into an integrated and complete system that synchronizes the operating

process among the assembly shop, paint shop, and data servers. Magyar Suzuki is

further considering the possibility of making the entire system more mobile by using

Moxa’s wireless solutions. “This is extremely important for us, since we can make

the equipment mobile, allowing us to move equipment around as frequently as we

like,” said one engineer at Magyar Suzuki.Company: Magyar Suzuki Rt.

Moxa Ethernet Switches Connect Soft Drink Bottling Production Lines

A world-leading machine builder plans, develops, manufactures, and installs machines and implements filling, labeling, and packaging lines. As an innovator in Ethernet controlled machine automation, the company is expanding their inte-grated machine solutions, leading a paradigm shift in machine control by putting an industrial network onto a single machine or set of machines. One of their primary solutions is a soft drink bottling production line that comprises three primary ma-chines—a filling machine, a labeling machine, and a packaging machine. The company was looking for several best-in-class, industrial strength Eth-ernet switches to form an “internal network” for this and other product lines.

System Requirements

• A proven and reliable Ethernet switch was needed to form an internal network that

allows Ethernet-based devices to communicate at the machine level, port out to

the factory floor to integrate with other processing machinery, as well as allowing

for remote monitoring and control.

• A rugged, centralized and Ethernet-based control system that better withstands

and supports demanding operating requirements.

• The machinery must withstand high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns,

as well as the cleaning solvents used for sterilization.

Moxa Solution

The machine builder used the Moxa EDS-305-M-SC, EDS-308-M-SC, and EDS-

316-M-SC unmanaged Ethernet switches to form the internal network. These

rugged Ethernet switches are designed to withstand the wide temperature shifts,

vibrations, and EMC prevalent in industrial environments. All of these switches

support one multimode fiber and are capable of transmitting data up to a distance

of five kilometers, making it easier to configure and support reliable, high-speed

data transfer between machines or to the central control room. Important features

of the Moxa switches include redundant DC power inputs, and models for standard

temperature conditions (0 to +60°C) or wide range temperature conditions (-40 to

+75°C). All of the switches come with a solid 5-year warranty and provide alarm

relay contact outputs to warn operators and system controllers when the power

fails or a port link breaks.

Industrial Ethernet Switches Enhance Printing Production and Service

A market leader of control and workflow solutions for the highly automated production processes for newspaper printing and publishing houses manages the production of daily newspapers in over 400 pub-lishing houses throughout the world, spanning all pre-press, press and post-press processes up to the point of printed material delivery.

System Requirements

• The printing machines are required to provide many years of trouble-free opera-

tion with minimum downtime, so reliability and fast maintenance for network

devices integrated into the printing machines is a primary requirement.

• This machine builder adds an additional value by providing a WAN-based support

service to remotely monitor and diagnose the conditions of customers’ printing

machines. The real-time monitoring via WAN requires an extremely reliable and

fast network infrastructure.

Moxa Solution

The company’s printing machines are built in sections, with each printing house

installing from two to fifteen sections, depending on the printing volume and scale

required. Each “section” is equipped with four cabinets that house PLC’s, I/Os,

motor controllers and Ethernet switches. The machine builder uses Moxa’s EDS-

508-MM-SC Ethernet switches in the cabinets to collect and forward all working

information from each section to a control console. This section console allows

monitoring and control of the printing section, giving each section the ability to be

operated independently, linked with other sections, or commanded via the console

remotely.

All section consoles are connected by using an EDS-726 Ethernet switch to form

a fiber network for extremely reliable and high-speed data collection. The network

configuration allows for responsive monitoring and control of every section, offers

fast data recovery, and can cover long distances between sections of large-scale

press operations.

Using a Redundant Ethernet Network to Realize Safe Railway Transport

The He-Wu railway is a part of China’s Passenger Dedicated Line (PDL), which is the biggest network of high-speed railways in China. The Ethernet-based signal control system that serves the entire rail line provides a centralized monitoring system for real-time operation with redundancy for non-stop operation and remote control services. Since railway stations are often separated by upwards of 100 kilometers, using long-haul transmission fiber Ether-net was the best way to offer instant connectivity. In order to communi-cate with other high-speed rail lines, the customer wanted to use a Layer 3 switch so that future upgrades could implement cross-subnet com-munications.

System Requirements

• Open source Ethernet-based backbone network to handle the complexities of

daily operation

• Redundant network topologies for enhanced reliability and continuous network

transmission

• Optical fiber connections permit extended transmission over longer distances and

immunity to electromagnetic noise

• Layer 3 switching capability for better interconnection between railway subnets

• Industrial-level rugged products with high MTBF and extreme temperature ranges

Moxa Solution

The He-Wu railway has communication stations located every 20 km, and each

station has two traffic signal controllers that connect simultaneously to two of

Moxa’s EDS-508A series industrial managed Ethernet switches. Since communica-

tion stations are separated by 20 kilometers, the railway uses the EDS-508A-SS-SC

single-mode fiber model to extend the data transmission distance, and relies on its

industrial rugged design to survive the harsh railway environment. The two Ethernet

switches in each station are grouped with switches from other stations to form

a dual redundant ring topology that stretches across the entire rail line. The dual

ring network architecture provides maximum redundancy with minimum system

downtime.

Furthermore, all of the railway information is supervised through a central computer

at a server farm in Hefei station. Moxa’s EDS-SNMP OPC server software provides

the connectivity needed to integrate existing OPC enabled HMI/SCADA systems

with a complete system that monitors remote network traffic. In order to allow in-

terconnection with other rail lines, the system uses the Layer 3 routing functions of

Moxa’s EDS-828 Layer 3 Gigabit modular Ethernet switch. With its optimized rout-

ing performance, the EDS-828 can easily bridge two railway subnets and segment

the network to avoid the influence of broadcast storms between different railway

subnets and increase network efficiency.

Gigabit Ethernet Switches for Airport Security Monitoring

Video surveillance technology plays an important role in improving secu-rity at airports in the face of vari-ous dangers ranging from common vandalism to terrorist attacks. One of the top international gateways in the United States selected Moxa’s EDS-518A industrial Gigabit Ether-net switches to connect the video servers in their surveillance sys-tem. In order to provide passenger terminals with monitoring capabili-ties, the switches were arranged in a U-shaped pattern around a central perimeter containing parking lots, hotels, a power plant, and other air-port facilities.

System Requirements

• Ethernet network with high-bandwidth and long-haul transmission capability for

video streaming from terminals to the airport’s remote operation center.

• Ethernet switches with IGMP snooping support for multicast filtering to reduce

network traffic.

• Reliable performance under extreme temperatures.

Moxa Solution

Modern airports rely on industrial Ethernet in developing Intelligent Transportation

Systems to ensure convenience and security for passengers and airport facili-

ties. Running the most modern, efficient, and spacious international airports in the

world, our customer has a reliable video surveillance system for their security moni-

toring. Over 600 analog cameras were installed to monitor airport terminals, parking

lots, train stations, fuel depots, busy intersections, tracks, restricted areas, etc.

To enhance efficiency for its remote security monitoring system, the customer

decided to deploy Moxa’s EDS-518A-SS-SC-T Gigabit managed Ethernet switches

to connect the system’s video servers to analog cameras. The EDS-518A-SS-SC-T

Gigabit Ethernet switches feature high port density and were able to connect sev-

eral video servers. They also have a high bandwidth capability to support a Gigabit

backbone for massive video and data transmissions, and support IGMP snooping

for filtering multicast traffic to significantly reduce the amount of traffic on band-

width intensive networks as well. In addition, the EDS-518A-SS-SC-T offered long

distance transmission to the operation center via single mode fiber optics that can

work reliably under wide temperature extremes from -40 to 75°C, accommodating

the extreme weather conditions the airport encounters during winter and summer

Shanghai Metro Remote Monitoring Network

The Shanghai Metro is an urban mass rapid transit system that incor-porates both subways and elevated light railways. Due to rapid popula-tion growth in Shanghai city, daily ridership jumped to a new record of 3.82 million passengers in April of 2008. This surge in ridership made it necessary to introduce a more ef-ficient and real-time security moni-toring system to maintain public se-curity and safety. For this reason, the Shanghai Metro decided to upgrade its current monitoring network in re-sponse to these needs. An Ethernet network with synchronized Ethernet I/O solutions was adopted to provide an efficient multi-point monitoring system in one network.

System Requirements

• Network the existing security monitoring system to enhance monitoring efficiency

• Integrate monitoring data and video surveillance into one network using Ethernet

• Synchronize the field status to more than one control center for greater visibility

and centralized event recording and analysis

• Local alarm capability in the existing monitoring system for real-time notification

onsite

Moxa Solution

The security monitoring system upgrade not only required sending alerts to local

sites when exceptions occur, but it was also necessary to synchronize with the

Shanghai Metro’s station control center and central control room. Due to the acces-

sibility and fast transmission speed of an Ethernet LAN, Ethernet-enabled devices

were applied to connect legacy devices to the Ethernet network.

The monitoring and control system includes three levels: central information level,

station level, and field level. The system also covers the extensive system of

subway tunnels, elevated tracks, as well as all kinds of control rooms for controlling

signals, environmental factors, and power. Moxa’s ioLogik E2212 Active Ethernet

I/O devices were selected to integrate the local I/O status with the network, and

duplicate signals to local and remote control centers over the Ethernet network

formed by the EDS-726 Gigabit modular Ethernet switches. The local intelligence

of the ioLogik E2212 delivers event messages automatically, making more network

bandwidth available for video transmissions over the network, which is essential for

establishing one network for efficient and effective monitoring.

ONE Network Solution for Centralized Traffic Control in Seville

Seville in Spain is widely recognized as a warm and lively town, but also notorious for its extreme traffic. Travel guides advise against driving in Seville due to the terrible traffic conditions, and recommend instead that visitors walk to their destina-tions. Seville sought assistance from a major European engineering company that specializes in Intelli-gent Transportation Systems (ITS) to upgrade their traffic control system.

System Requirements

What the city needed was a traffic control system that allows centralized manage-

ment of the traffic lights spread out over the metropolitan regions of the city. In

addition, they wanted the system to incorporate traffic surveillance from major

intersections, and allow on-site voice communication. Since it was necessary to

transmit data over large areas of the city, the system integrator needed to select

networking solutions that could communicate with multiple points over long dis-

tances.

Moxa Solution

The Seville traffic control system was set up to transmit video, voice, and data over

one network. Because of the high bandwidth requirement, the system integrator

decided to install a Gigabit fiber optic network using specialized Ethernet switches.

The system’s backbone relies on Moxa’s EDS-726 Gigabit modular managed

switches, which were arranged in eight nodes spread out over the metropolitan

regions with a fiber-optic Gigabit Turbo Ring. Each node uses an EDS-726 to con-

nect IP cameras, traffic controllers, and IP phones to the backbone network. The

EDS-726’s modular and expandable design allows each node to handle a custom

arrangement of IP cameras for video surveillance and IP phones for voice com-

munication.

The serial-based signal controllers used for on-site traffic control are connected to

a main traffic controller in the traffic control center using pairs of 1-port NPort 5110

serial device servers, eliminating the need to invest in new traffic equipment. By

using the NPort 5110’s pair connection mode, the engineers in the control center

can easily monitor the status of each traffic light and update the control programs

as traffic conditions change.

Fiber-optic communication is the best choice for this project due to the long

distance and high bandwidth requirements, and the Turbo Ring topology provides

media redundancy and network recovery in less than 20 ms. With native

Gigabit network operation, built-in fiber ports, and Turbo Ring support, the

EDS-726 provides a strong network backbone that easily handles all video, audio,

and traffic data streams.

Speed Detection System Uses Moxa’s Video Encoder to Catch Speeders

The explosive growth of road traffic in recent years has put undue pres-sure on the ability of governments in countries around the world to provide safe roadways for their citi-zens. As a result, there has been an increased focus on road safety, with improvements in the enforcement of traffic laws taking center stage. This Europe-based producer of digital and analog traffic enforcement equip-ment introduced here is a leader in the industry. The core business of the company involves the develop-ment, production, and installation of both traditional and digital stoplight camera systems and radar systems.

System Requirements

The speed detection system built by this provider integrates four main devices: the

detector, an industrial video encoder, an FTP server, and a workstation for video

file format conversion. The industrial video encoder is connected to the speeding

detector through a coaxial cable and is linked up with the FTP server through a

twisted pair copper wire. On the other side, the FTP server connects to a remote

workstation located at the regional police station through an xDSL service.

Moxa Solution

Moxa’s VPort 351-T industrial video encoder was chosen by the system developer

to build their solution. When a speeder is detected, the VPort 351-T event recording

function will be triggered by the detector. The VPort 351T then begin transmitting

video images (from four seconds before to four seconds after the event took place)

to the FTP server. In order to speed up data transmission, the trigger is sent using

UDP (User Datagram Protocol), with event number and time stamp marked for con-

venient tracking. The officers at the police station use the workstation to download

the recorded video files from the FTP server and convert them from .pes to the

required .avi format on a regular basis.

The wide operating temperature of the VPort 351-T makes it the right choice for

outdoor roadside environments. Moreover, Moxa provides software customiza-

tion that makes the best use of the built-in pre- and post-event recording function,

allowing the speed detection system to record three speeders in sequence without

stopping, to provide sufficient evidence to verify speeding offences. The efficiency

of traffic enforcement is greatly enhanced by installing a speed detection system

integrated with Moxa’s VPort 351-T video encoder.

Integrated Remote Control and Security System for Italian Subway

A leading European-based engi-neering company who has provided infrastructure management solutions for the energy industry for nearly 90 years, recently received the com-plicated project of implementing an integrated control and security system for the Electric Metropolitan Light Railway in Bergamo, Italy. This subway communication system is a good example of how optical fiber Ethernet can be used to centralize operations of a complex and distrib-uted system.

System Requirements

The railway company had three major requirements: (1) the remote control and

security system must be reliable, (2) redundancy must be built into the network

structure, and (3) the network access must be readily available to accommodate

real-time control and monitoring from a central control center. By using Moxa’s

advanced networking solutions, the system integrator was able to propose and

implement a cutting edge solution to satisfy the client’s requirements.

Moxa Solution

The subway consists of 15 subway stations, with adjacent stations separated by an

average distance of one kilometer. This means that the subway line stretches some

15 kilometers from end to end, and the optical fiber network can run a total length

of more than 20 kilometers. The speed and reliability of the communications were

greatly enhanced by using a Gigabit Turbo Ring as the communication backbone.

Using Gigabit speed also makes it feasible to set up a high quality integrated

surveillance system, as well as a safe and reliable remote control system to manage

different aspects of the subway’s daily operations.

Each of the 15 subway stations uses Moxa’s EDS-518A-T wide temperature Gigabit

managed switch to connect a variety of devices to the communication network. The

EDS-518A-T has two combo Gigabit ports making it possible to connect the switch

to the Gigabit Turbo Ring with optical fiber, plus 16 fast Ethernet ports for connec-

tion to the devices located in the vicinity of the switch. In this case, the devices

include 5 to 7 video servers for connecting surveillance cameras to the network, 6

PLCs for automatic control, and 2 to 3 voice-over-Ethernet telephones for commu-

nicating between subway stations and the control center. In the control center, there

is an EDS-510A-1GT2SFP Gigabit Managed switch, which forms a Gigabit ring

together with EDS-518A, providing high bandwidth solution for volumes of data,

video, and voice transmission.Location: Bergamo, Italy

Real-time Networked Sonar System for Ships

A multinational corporation that delivers marine electronics solutions is utilizing industrial Ethernet techno-logy to help ensure that operations at sea are dependable and optimal. Based in Europe, the company pro-vides high-tech systems for offshore oil and gas operations, merchant marine systems, and various applica-tions for the defense and aerospace industries. Products used for marine applications must be rugged enough to endure the corrosive effects of salt water, and be able to withstand excessive amounts of vibration and shock. For this reason, the com-pany only uses DNV and GL certified products and components to ensure that their systems can meet the high standards required by the maritime industry.

System Requirements

The sonar positioning system requires a high-speed network to connect devices in

the hull unit room to other devices on the bridge. In addition to the required DNV

and GL certified components, speed and redundancy are also critical consider-

ations. For this reason, the sonar positioning system uses Moxa’s managed Ether-

net switches to form a redundant network between the sonar system in the hull and

electronic devices on the bridge.

Moxa Solution

Each sonar unit uses one transmit transducer array and one receive transducer

array that links to the main transceiver for detecting objects under water. Moxa’s

EDS-518A Gigabit managed switch is used in the hull unit room to connect to

different sonar devices, while the EDS-510A-1GT2SFP Gigabit managed switch

is housed on the bridge. Together, the switches create a Gigabit redundant ring

that connects the sonar system to the bridge. The EDS-518A uses its two Gigabit

ports to connect to the EDS-510A’s Gigabit ports to form the redundant Gigabit

backbone. The third Gigabit port on the EDS-510A is connected to the operations

station for massive amounts of data communication.

The Ethernet network allows the system to transmit signals from the sonar to the

ship’s bridge in real time. This is particularly important for anti-submarine and mine

detection applications, since having access to real-time information is essential for

the survival of the ship and its crew.

Gigabit Ethernet Switches for Kaohsiung MRT Communication Backbone Redundancy

The Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit System (KMRT) is a rapid transit railway system operating in the met-ropolitan area of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The construction of the KMRT began in 2001 with a Red Line and an Or-ange Line, which started operations in 2008. The combined length of the two lines is 42.7 km, with 42 stations.

The initial integrated communication network of the KMRT carried voice, video, and building automation data with an SDH network and connected to the PA system, intercom, security and access control, and BA SCADA systems. However, as the network grew in size and complexity, the bandwidth of the SDH system bottle-necked. For this reason, a backbone with Gigabit and redundant capabili-ties was added. The new backbone must be able to co-work with the existing network and must be inde-pendent from the SDH network.

System Requirements

• Open source Ethernet-based backbone network to handle the complexities of

daily operation

• Redundant network topologies for enhanced reliability and continuous network

transmission

• Optical fiber connections permit extended transmission over longer distances and

immunity to electromagnetic noise

• Layer 3 switching capability for better interconnection between railway subnets

• Industrial-level rugged products with high MTBF and extreme temperature ranges

Moxa Solution

Each station’s network is equipped with redundancy features to minimize the

impact of equipment failure. Moxa’s MXview network management software is

used to monitor system status and performance. There is a single Central Control

Room (CCR) for the 42 stations as well as multiple IT rooms. Each station employs

two of Moxa’s EDS-510A Gigabit managed Ethernet switches that connect to the

existing network using ring coupling topology to build a redundant link between the

backbone and the network. Moxa’s EDS-510A with 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports is ideal

for use with the Turbo Ring™ redundant topology, which leaves a spare Gigabit port

for uplinks to the network switches in the IT room and the CCR.

Moxa’s ABC-01, a simple and powerful configuration backup and restoration tool, is

used for saving and loading the configurations of the managed Ethernet switches.

With the ABC-01, users can easily replace or install switches without needing to

bring their laptops to the site; this significantly reduces maintenance time and

system downtime.

Security Monitoring for Military Sites

Military installations around the world use different surveillance devices to enhance security, which is of the utmost importance for the military operation. The application presented here involves protect-ing a permanent military base in the Southeast Asia. A major part of the security system involves the installa-tion of several PTZ cameras around the perimeter of the base. All these cameras are connected directly to the base’s video surveillance network system.

System Requirements

• Dual-device redundant Gigabit backbone to provide an extra-reliable video sur-

veillance system that never goes offline.

• Layer 3 switching function to help organize LAN segment demands for future

expansion to other military bases.

• Networking devices with high bandwidth capability to allow real-time video and

data transmission.

Moxa Solution

Moxa’s industrial Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit managed Ethernet switches, the

EDS-518A and EDS-828, were chosen for the network’s Gigabit backbone. The

Gigabit transmission speed allows both data and video images to be transmitted

in real time, which greatly enhance the ability of the base’s security personnel to

respond immediately when an intrusion or emergency occurs.

The base’s video surveillance network must be extra-reliable and it doesn’t accept

failures unexpectedly, even when subjected to extreme stress. This is achieved

with fault tolerant technology that uses a dual-device redundant system design.

For extra reliability, PTZ cameras are installed in pairs at strategic points along

the perimeter of the base. The cameras connect to Moxa’s EDS-518A Layer 2

Gigabit managed Ethernet switches, which are also installed in pairs to form two

independent Gigabit backbone networks, each of which uses Moxa’s Turbo Ring

technology for double redundancy. “Ring coupling” is used to connect the two rings

to each other, and in this way creates a redundant backbone for transmitting both

data and video images. With the EDS-518A’s Gigabit fiber optic links, the Turbo

Rings can be easily extended over long distances, such as along the perimeter of

the base, while at the same time supporting faster transmission of information and

video. In addition, the dual Ethernet rings link to Moxa’s EDS-828 Layer 3 Gigabit

modular managed Ethernet switches in the control room. The EDS-828 Ethernet

switches deliver the full-wired speed of Layer 3 switching, and help IT engineers

organize LAN segments for future expansion and to connect with subnets at other

military bases.

One Network PoE Solution for Security Monitoring of Nutrition and Pharmaceutical Premises

A European based company that de-velops, produces, and sells function-al and nutritional ingredients for the food, nutrition and pharmaceuticals industry, is well-known for delivering quality and innovative products and service to its users worldwide. A fo-cus on continuous process improve-ment leads the company to phase in new technologies to help accelerate manufacturing and quality control. Recently, they adopted Moxa’s one network solution to facilitate the construction of a security monitoring system at its headquarters in Europe. Using Moxa’s advanced networking solutions greatly helped to solve the problems of limited power source for required devices and bandwidth for transmitting data, video and voice over Ethernet network when building up the system.

System Requirements

• An efficient and reliable security monitoring system that integrates data, video,

and voice over one network for centralized monitoring management.

• Ethernet network with high-bandwidth and long-haul transmission capability for

video streaming over office buildings.

• Integration of security facilities at locations that are hard to wire for power

sources.

Moxa Solution

The security monitoring system was built up for monitoring of the key manufactur-

ing processes, protection of the company’s intellectual property, and setting up a

fast-response internal communication network between offices. In order to achieve

these goals, a high-bandwidth Gigabit fiber redundant network backbone formed

by 30 pieces of Moxa’s EDS-510A-1GT2SFP Ethernet switches was constructed to

integrate data, video, and voice into one network, two of which are located in the

control room and the remainder are distributed over other offices and manufactur-

ing sites.

The EDS-P308 power-over-Ethernet switches and remote I/O modules link end

security and monitoring devices to the backbone. The security monitoring system

was required to integrate video cameras, intercoms, card readers, and a number of

intrusion sensors all over the offices at company headquarters. For offices where it

proved difficult to connect these end devices to a power source, EDS-P308 power-

over-Ethernet switches provided the best solution to overcome the power supply

problem with its four built in PoE ports, and at the same time substantially saving

on the wiring costs for the entire system. Ultimately, all the required information

for security monitoring can be collected for centralized monitoring using Moxa’s

Gigabit one network and Power-over-Ethernet solutions.Location: Europe

Fire Alarm System Using Peer-to-Peer I/O

A new residential community was developed in Taipei, Taiwan by a well-known construction company. In this community, intelligent buildings were connected with fiber Ethernet. Residents would have access to high-tech services, such as high-speed Internet connections, ad-vanced security systems, intelligent elevator control, and on-demand TV. In addition, each building would be monitored in real-time from a central control room, and individual fire alarms could be triggered as needed.

System Requirements

Every fire alarm needed to be connected to the control room staffed by security

guards. However, there was insufficient space in the existing pipes to install I/O wir-

ing from the alarms to the control room. Another solution was required to transmit

the I/O signals. Since fiber Ethernet was already installed, the client wanted a solu-

tion that satisfied the following requirements:

• Transmits I/O signals over Ethernet, from each building to the control room

• No extra controller needed

• Minimal training and wiring effort

Moxa Solution

Moxa offers a variety of I/O solutions for most industrial requirements.

The EDS-405A switch was used for the network infrastructure, and the ioMirror

E3210 peer-to-peer Ethernet I/O servers were used to transmit I/O signals. Fire

alarm sensors were connected to one ioMirror unit, which exchanged signals over

Ethernet with another ioMirror unit that was connected to the control center. By uti-

lizing the existing fiber network, I/O signals could be transferred without additional

wiring effort. An advantage with the ioMirror E3210 is that channel-to-channel map-

ping is also supported, so one unit could receive I/O signals from different channels

over Ethernet.

Intrusion Detection with SNMP and IP Video in Factory

Wars and oils are the hottest issues in the Middle East. And the oil stor-age tanks are usually the target of attack during wartime. Typically, oil storage tanks and refining equip-ment are the most important parts of the oil refinery industry. To protect those facilities from being damaged is a top priority of those oil vendors. One of our customers in Europe planned to combine video and alarm signals in one fiber network. In ad-dition to video surveillance, digital I/O devices in the field were used for remote monitoring and alarm. However, the IP surveillance system is a bandwidth killer. To assure those alarm messages can be delivered with precise time stamps is the key. The client used SNMP to monitor their network devices and wanted to integrate this new intrusion detection system with their remote monitoring system. SNMP, Fiber network and low bandwidth consumption are the prerequisites for the new system.

System Requirements

The customer needed to implement an IP video surveillance system at a factory,

with certain areas requiring around the clock monitoring. In addition to video sur-

veillance, digital I/O devices in the field would be used for remote monitoring and

control. The client wished to manage all devices in the factory using a single plat-

form, including all I/O signals. SNMP was the chosen platform, and the complete

system needed to provide the following:

• SNMP support for each device

• I/O device/status controlled by SNMP

• Device status reporting by SNMP traps

• Large bandwidth using fiber ring architecture

• Industrial-grade video surveillance to withstand bad weather conditions

Moxa Solution

To implement a reliable network backbone that can support 200 IP video feeds,

the customer used the EDS-510A managed Ethernet switch to build a redundant

Gigabit Ethernet network. Although the EDS-510A’s two digital input channels are

insufficient for extra monitoring devices, the ioLogik E2210 Active Ethernet I/O

server was able to provide the necessary digital I/O channels. The built-in SNMP

support and multiple I/O channels of ioLogik E2210 are available for control and

monitoring by SNMP, no additional management software is required. In addition,

status changes of each I/O channel can be actively reported by SNMP traps, so

there is no need for data polling.
