Retail Chain Store POS System
Building Automation System
Products: CP-134U-I V2, CP-132UL-I V2
Country: China
Overall benefits: Centralize control, cost effective
A Building Automation (BA) management system
gives building managers better control over resources,
improving operational efficiency and reducing costs in
the control room. With today’s data communication
technology and sophisticated computer software, an
intelligent building can be managed and monitored
from a central location with a computerized building
management system.
The company mentioned here uses a PC and MOXA
CP-134U-I V2 or CP-132UL-I V2 to develop automatic
air conditioning control systems, elevator controllers,
entrance controls, and fire alarm systems. Both boards
provide an RS-422/485 interface. A common problem
with many applications is ground loop currents that
flow through the ground line when ground voltage
levels differ between connected devices. To eliminate
this problem, both boards are available with 2000V
of Optical Isolation Protection. The building manager
can easily monitor and control each air conditioner via
communication links between the air conditioners and
MOXA CP-134U-I V2 or CP-132UL-I V2.
Products: CP-104UL V2, CP-168U V2, C320Turbo/PCI
Country: United States
Overall benefits: Speeds up the sales process, Saves
time and cost
A major retail group in Taiwan that owns hundreds of
communication retail chain stores has recently installed
several MOXA CP-104UL V2 boards in twenty-some
stores throughout Taipei. The boards are used as part
of the company’s POS (Point of Sale) system, connect-
ing barcode scanners, cash registers, pole displays, and
modems, to a central computer.
At the other end of the line, the PC server in the head
office has a MOXA C320Turbo/PCI board installed,
with each of its serial ports connected to a modem.
This enables the company’s headquarters to keep
close tabs on each store’s sales activities, including
easy analysis of customer buying habits and updating
merchandise inventories. This type of integrated POS
system speeds up the sales process, making it possible
to serve more customers and increase profit. Moxa’s
compact boards fit virtually any PC, driver installation
and software configuration is easy, and the opera-
tional cost is low. The boards are also highly reliable
and provide support for all popular operating systems.
