Introduction
The ioLogik R1200 Series RS-485 serial remote I/O devices are perfect for establishing a cost-effective, dependable, and easy-to-maintain remote process control I/O system. Remote serial I/O products offer process engineers the benefit of simple wiring, as they only require two wires to communicate with the controller and other RS-485 devices while adopting the EIA/TIA RS-485 communication protocol to transmit and receive data at high speed over long distances. In addition to communication configuration by software or USB and dual RS-485 port design, Moxa’s remote I/O devices eliminate the nightmare of extensive labour associated with the setup and maintenance of data acquisition and automation systems. Moxa also offers different I/O combinations, which provide greater flexibility and are compatible with many different applications.

Easy-to-Use Software Interface for Easy Maintenance
With Moxa’s easy-to-use ioSearch software, you can quickly access all of an ioLogik R1200 device’s status information and settings with a user-friendly graphical user interface. Furthermore, ioSearch also provides an easy method for updating firmware for all ioLogik R1200 devices over an RS-485 network, so you can even update your firmware remotely. The free and easy-to-use ioSearch software reduces the maintenance time and labour required to set up your communication interface. When more than one ioLogik R1200 is on the same RS-485 network, you no longer need to turn hundreds of dials during setup. Instead, simply configure and duplicate each ioLogik R1200’s baud rate and mode through the graphical user interface. This convenient software feature reduces maintenance engineers' effort and greatly simplifies upgrading your device's configuration compared with more traditional methods.
