Recently, there has been a rise in the sophistication of cyber attacks, which has prompted everyone from IT to OT personnel to produce solutions that enhance industrial cybersecurity.
While companies are tapping into the opportunities that the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has to offer, digitalization has become a key initiative for industries. Digitalization has allowed the industrial control system (ICS) landscape to develop quickly in recent years. Originally, ICS networks were physically isolated and almost immune to cyberattacks.

For control engineers, their primary goal is to ensure that they have system availability, but they often do this without focusing on the network status. This gap is becoming problematic because even though the internet of things is helping to connect more and more devices, it is unfortunately increasing network complexity and introducing new security risks. What if control engineers had clear visibility of the network status and could quickly identify the root cause of network downtime?

Operating in harsh and hazardous environments pose many critical challenges that include blistering hot or freezing cold temperatures, high exposure to dust and water, and exposure to explosive atmospheres. Moxa offers rugged panel computers and displays that are ideal for deploying in extreme operating environments for HMI applications such as Rig-floor monitoring, Drilling control, Wellhead/pipeline monitoring, Solar inverter monitoring, Marine deck/bridge monitoring and Monitoring hazardous factory environments.

For over twenty years now, ECS has been New Zealand’s exclusive distributor and certified partner of MOXA Automation & Networking products. Our dedicated team of fully trained professionals are here to help guide you through MOXA’s extensive library of quality automation & networking products, engineered for today’s technologies and beyond.

When you want to copy previous configuration settings to current modules, you have to reconfigure all the configuration settings even if you only slightly add, move, or delete a module combination

It may be assumed that because Modbus ASCII is simply serial data, that a TCP to Serial converter should just work – a common misconception

Following the success of Moxa’s tremendously versatile OnCell G3150A-LTE, ECS have developed a remote deployment kit.

The new right angle RJ45’s from LAPP are perfect for Switchboards and control boxes with limited space

Try the Pinnacle of Screen Technology. A tough application, led to a new generation of VSD cable. The installation demanded the best in screening performance, but also required a flexible cable with the smallest possible bending radius. LAPP GROUP created a totally new product unlike anything currently on the market.

LAPP are able to supply servo leads compatible with all major servo motor standards including Allen Bradley / Rockwell, SEW, Siemens and many more. Unlike other suppliers, we offer both AIR and SEA freight delivery options for our Servo leads as standard. This means if you want it, you can often have your leads within 2 weeks of order. For urgent requirements we can even assemble in our Australian or New Zealand warehouse, which means we can even deliver in 2-3 days for stocked parts.
