MOXA announced the launch of the DA-820 series, a quad-core i7 high-performance rack-mount computer. The DA-820 rack-mount embedded computer is the world's first native PRP/HSR management server providing fault-free redundancy, implementing efficient and visible PRP/HSR network management.

Multi-functional Substation Computer
The DA-820's primary operating system runs on Intel quad-core i7-3612QE CPU and QM77 chipset, supporting standard X86, dual VGA, USB, 2GB LAN ports, and two RS-232/422/485 3-in-1 serial ports. The DA-820 is equipped with 4 SATA disk interfaces and supports RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality by default. The DA-820 is specifically designed for substation applications requiring precise time synchronization and compliance with the IEC 61850-3 standard. The DA-820's flexible design is suitable for use in local SCADA, environmental monitoring, video surveillance, protocol conversion, and PRP/HSR redundancy applications. Additionally, with built-in cybersecurity features, it provides an ideal solution for implementing secure network communications.

Solution for PRP/HSR Substation: Building Scalable and Manageable PRP/HSR Infrastructure
In addition to the DA-820 native PRP/HSR computer, MOXA plans to launch the PT-G503 PRP/HSR RedBox (redundancy box), the world's first PRP/HSR RedBox with integrated coupling and QuadBox, in the fourth quarter of 2014. MOXA's PT-G503 RedBox and DA-820 native PRP/HSR management server enable PRP/HSR substations to collect, analyze, and integrate primary information (raw data) from various devices on a single management platform, implementing efficient and visible PRP/HSR network management and making network diagnostics, troubleshooting, and device status monitoring easier than ever before.
