Introduction:

OPC UA I/O modules is a series of Ethernet I/O modules that is built-in with the OPC UA Server and MQTT Client services, and supports to run both communications at the same time. The OPC UA I/O module, also called UA I/O, now change the module name UA-75xxM to U-75xxM.

The UA I/O supports the OPC UA server and MQTT client communication in industrial networking communication. Users can choose the networking mode or to run both communications at the same time according to their needs and environment. It transmits the values of built-in I/O channels to the cloud IT system or field control system for reading and writing. UA I/O Series provides a Web-based User Interface (Web UI) to configure the module, control the output channels, monitor the connection, and I/O status via a general web browser. It is easy, fast, and no extra APP needed. The new UA I/O Analog modules support Scaling function and it enables the analog signal being converted into an easy-to-read value.

For information security encryption protection, UA I/O features username/password and certificate login authentication protection, as well as SSL/TLS data encryption protection. The new version V3.0 released provides the latest information security encryption protection function (see the table below) to the whole series. Now the whole series of UA I/O modules are promoted to Information Security I/O Modules!

UA I/O New Functions for Information Security and Encryption Protection
Type	New Items for Security and encryption	New Security Advantages
Web Interface for Conﬁguration	After the first login, mandatory change of the default username/password is required before using other functions.	Account Login Protection Enhance module setting protection
Web Interface for Conﬁguration	AES 256 encryption algorithm is used as default encryption algorithm to encrypt web page setting data for general communication.	256-bit Encryption Strengthen webpage encryption
Security	Based on security considerations, only the service ports used by the I/O modules are open up, and the rest are not open.	Communication Port Protection Enhance system communication security
Security	The ping function is not allowed: turn off this function so that others cannot scan the device.	Device IP Protection Reduce the possibility of network attacks
