Moxa Industrial Protocols User's Guide Version 6.1

About this manual

This document serves as a user guide for Moxa industrial switches, detailing the configuration and data interpretation for three major industrial communication protocols: MODBUS/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET I/O. It covers software licensing, copyright notices, and technical support contact information for various global regions.

The guide is structured into three main sections corresponding to the supported protocols. The MODBUS/TCP section explains data formats, function codes, and how to interpret system information, port status, and packet statistics via specific address offsets. The EtherNet/IP section details messaging types, CIP objects, and provides instructions for configuring the protocol on Moxa switches, including Rockwell RSLogix 5000 integration. The PROFINET I/O section covers networking structures, device descriptions, and the process for creating and saving projects for PLC integration.
