Moxa ioLogik E1212 2-Port Switch

Industrial Ethernet I/O with 2-port switch

The Moxa ioLogik E1212 combines eight digital inputs and eight configurable digital I/O channels with a two-port Ethernet switch for daisy-chain topology. It targets automation engineers building IIoT systems who need Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP adapter and RESTful API support in a single DIN-rail unit. Peer-to-peer communication reduces wiring, while SNMP v1/v2c and MX-AOPC UA Server integration simplify monitoring. Mass deployment is handled through the ioSearch utility and MXIO libraries for Windows or Linux.

Suits IIoT projects needing mixed I/O

This unit fits applications that require both field I/O and network redundancy in a compact form factor, such as remote monitoring, machine automation or energy management. Buyers who need analogue I/O, serial ports, PoE power sourcing or fibre uplinks should look elsewhere, as the device provides only digital channels and copper Ethernet.

Two copper Ethernet ports for daisy-chain

The built-in two-port switch enables linear network topology without an external switch, letting devices pass traffic to the next node. This single specification determines whether the E1212 matches a daisy-chain design or whether a star-wired architecture with a separate switch is required.
