ioLogik E1200 Series
MOXA ioLogik E1200 Series Overview
The Moxa ioLogik E1200 Series is a line of Ethernet remote I/O modules built to collect field data and deliver it to the systems that rely on it. Facilities use the series to monitor and control equipment across factory automation, oil and gas, and other demanding industrial environments where dependable data communication is not optional.
The Remote I/O retrieves field-level I/O data and converts it for use across multiple protocols at once. This gives both IT and OT teams the ability to pull data from the same device without additional conversion hardware, making it a flexible solution for industrial edge connectivity. The result is faster integration and fewer points of failure between the field and the control room.
The Series supports applications across factory automation, oil and gas, security and surveillance, and other environments where equipment operates far from the control room. Its wide operating temperature range and rugged design make it suitable for both indoor cabinets and harsh outdoor installations.
Communication gaps between legacy and modern systems, limited visibility into remote equipment, and costly wiring in distributed applications are common challenges the E1200 Series addresses directly. Daisy-chained Ethernet ports and peer-to-peer communication reduce wiring complexity, while multi-protocol support closes the gap between OT and IT systems.

Communication Technologies in the ioLogik E1200 Series
The series speaks the protocols that matter to both sides of the plant: Modbus TCP connects remote I/O to control systems over standard Ethernet, a familiar choice for OT engineers, while EtherNet/IP enables real-time data exchange, integrating the E1200 Series directly with PLCs and EtherNet/IP-based systems. On the IT side, SNMP gives network teams standard tools to monitor device health alongside the rest of their infrastructure, and a RESTful API supports IIoT applications, letting developers pull I/O data into custom apps and cloud platforms with minimal setup. Active OPC Server communication sends data only when a change occurs, improving accuracy and reducing network load, and the underlying Industrial Ethernet connection keeps latency to switches, controllers, and servers to a minimum.
Compare the ioLogik E1200 Models
The E1200 Series covers ten core I/O configurations, offering a versatile universal I/O controller solution for digital, analog, and temperature-sensing applications. Every model below is also available in a “-T” wide-temperature variant (-40 to 75°C) with the same I/O configuration, for deployments in unheated or extreme-climate environments — the standard models run -10 to 60°C.
Certifications That Confirm Industrial-Grade Reliability
The ioLogik E1200 Series carries certifications that confirm its suitability for demanding and regulated environments. EMC compliance under EN 55032/24 and EN 61000-6-2/-6-4, along with EMI compliance under CISPR 32 and FCC Part 15B Class A, confirms the device operates cleanly alongside other industrial electronics.
EMS testing, including IEC 61000-4-2 through 4-8, verifies resistance to electrostatic discharge, radiated and conducted interference, surges, and power-frequency magnetic fields. ATEX and Class I Division 2 hazardous location certification make the series suitable for oil, gas, and other potentially explosive environments. UL 508 safety certification, along with IEC 60068-2-27 shock and IEC 60068-2-6 vibration testing, confirms the hardware holds up under physical stress that would compromise less rugged devices.
Why Choose the ioLogik E1200 Series?
