Moxa Industrial Protocols User's Guide V6.2

About this manual

This guide explains how to configure and use industrial communication protocols on Moxa switches. It covers MODBUS/TCP for SCADA integration, ETHERNET/IP for Rockwell automation, and PROFINET I/O for industrial networking. Each protocol section includes setup instructions, data mapping, and configuration details.

The guide is versioned as V6.2, released in April 2021, and includes technical support contact information for global regions. It provides detailed data maps for interpreting switch information such as vendor ID, product name, MAC address, and port status in hexadecimal format.
