How to Use Moxa Remote I/O to Save Wiring Costs for Bridge Lighting Control Systems


project description

The world's leading LED lighting designer selected the Moxa ioLogik E1212 remote I/O in the Gateway Bridge lighting control system in Australia. The municipal department responsible for bridge construction and maintenance decided to adopt a network architecture to implement the bridge lighting control system. The Gateway Bridge is 1.2 miles long and is about 250 feet from the ground. The entire lighting control system uses 2,500 LED light strings, containing approximately 90,000 LED lights and more than 45,000 meters of cable. The challenge for this project is the need for a more cost-effective design solution to meet stringent cabling standards and long-term use requirements.

Moxa solution

The Moxa ioLogik E1212 Ethernet Remote I/O has two embedded Ethernet ports, 8 DI channels and 8 DIO channels, providing users with a cost-effective, highly flexible solution. The two embedded Ethernet interfaces of the ioLogik E1212 can form a daisy-chain topology, which greatly reduces the cost of wiring and installation. The simple cascaded approach makes multi-point I/O control networks possible, and can also meet the needs of long-distance applications exceeding 1.2 miles. In addition, two Ethernet ports can also be used to build backup links to ensure network redundancy and stability.


The 8 DIs and 8 DIOs of the ioLogik E1212 provide full flexibility for all types of I/O data acquisition applications. Its compact size, compact design, and use of the V462 embedded computer enhance the overall control of the bridge lighting control system.


Not only that, Moxa also has a patented Active OPC Server that can be used as an OPC driver for SCADA systems to facilitate the seamless integration of field devices and iFIX SCADA systems. The Active OPC Server can actively push information based on events so that the ioLogik E1212 can actively communicate with the iFIX SCADA system via the V462. Compared with the traditional polling architecture, the event-based initiative can reduce the network occupancy rate and greatly increase the response speed.
