Smarter Power System Monitoring with Moxa Easy-to-Use Protocol Gateways
November 27, 2025
Achieve Comprehensive Monitoring Across Diverse Energy Sources
In industrial settings, effective power system monitoring plays a vital role in ensuring operational efficiency. It involves the real-time tracking of power quality, energy consumption, and equipment conditions. However, due to the varied nature of power grids, often composed of multiple energy sources and communication protocols, designing a unified power monitoring solution can be complex. Moxa addresses this challenge with an extensive selection of protocol gateways, engineered to deliver dependable, secure, and intuitive connectivity for numerous applications.

Substation and Grid Integration
Modern energy infrastructure, particularly new substations, frequently uses IEC 61850, which was developed specifically for electrical substations. However, many existing systems rely on legacy devices that remain in service for decades and are only replaced under strict conditions. A real-world example illustrates how Moxa’s IEC 61850-compatible protocol gateways enabled smooth integration between IEC 61850 and Modbus TCP in a hybrid environment.
Monitoring Renewable Energy Systems
Integrating renewable sources into the grid can present complex communication challenges for system integrators, particularly when dealing with mismatched protocols. In one instance, a Moxa system integrator had to bridge IEC 60870-5-104 and Modbus TCP in a renewable project—Moxa’s solution provided the needed compatibility to ensure smooth operation and data flow.
Monitoring for Critical Power Equipment
For equipment installed near primary power sources, such as switchgears, automatic transfer switches (ATS), and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), continuous performance tracking is essential to maintain power quality. In a recent case study, Moxa’s solution played a pivotal role in helping a client maintain optimal power quality across their data center infrastructure.
