ioThinx 4533-LX (V1)

Introduction

The ioThinx4530 Series is a versatile Linux-based controller with support forI/O and serial expansion modules. Equipped with a Cortex-A7 dual-coreCPU, 2 GB of memory, and 3-in-1 serial interfaces, the ioThinx 4530Series offers robust performance. These controllers can support upto 64 units with the dedicated 45MR Series modules, including digitaland analog I/O, relay, and temperature modules. In addition, the ioThinx4530 Series supports up to five 45ML Series serial modules.

Moxa IndustrialLinux 3 (MIL3)

The ioThinx4530 Series runs on Moxa Industrial Linux 3 (MIL3), an industrial-gradeLinux distribution based on Debian. Developed and maintained by Moxa,MIL3 is specifically designed to meet the security, reliability, andlong-term support requirements of industrial automation systems.

Small FootprintWith High-density I/O Points

A single ioThinx4530 Series controller fully equipped with expansion modules can supportup to 1,024 digital I/O points while maintaining a remarkably smallfootprint, measuring less than 10 cm (3.9 in) wide and 6.1 cm (2.4in) tall. The 45MR Series module come in even smaller at 1.8 cm (0.7in) width. This compact design allows for installation in limitedspaces, enhancing the simplicity and maintainability of your controlcabinet.

Flexible Modular Design to Expand I/O and Serial Interfaces

Featuring aflexible modular design for expanding I/O and serial interfaces, theioThinx 4530 Series enables users to effortlessly modify the combinationof expansion modules to suit various application scenarios. This modularcapability helps developers seamlessly migrate programs from one projectto another.

Easy Tool-freeInstallation and Removal

The ioThinx4500 Series has a unique mechanical design that reduces the amountof time required for installation and removal. In fact, screwdriversand other tools are not required for any part of the hardware installation,including mounting the device on a DIN-rail, as well as connectingthe wiring for both communication and I/O signal acquisition. Furthermore,no tools are required to remove the ioThinx from a DIN-rail. Removingall of the modules from a DIN-rail is also easy using the latch andrelease tab.

Programmer-friendly

Moxa provides comprehensive documentation and tools for the ioThinxSeries, featuring C/C++ and Python libraries, a cross-compiler toolchain,and sample codes. These resources help programmers accelerate projectdelivery time lines.
