Every drive on one chart
Output current, frequency, speed, voltage and power from each drive, laid over each other, live or over any logged range. The one running differently stands out.
One Motion Cortex™
Monitoring, temperature prediction and fault protection for the drives you already run, with no new equipment.

Read it on the line
Cortex serves its dashboard to any browser on the network, so a rugged tablet at the conveyor shows the same live charts as the PC in the office.
- Any browser on the same network, at port 8000 by default
- A login for each operator, with only the screens it needs
- The device name at the top left, so every unit is easy to tell apart
From box to running in four moves
The Cortex Device Manager installs Cortex on a Moxa from your Windows PC, over one Ethernet cable. The guide walks every screen.

Questions installers ask
Still stuck? Call (479) 358-1173 or email om.support@actionpaq.com.
No. The installer carries the Cortex package, and the PC reaches the device over an Ethernet cable. Neither the PC nor the device needs internet during the install.
Moxa UC-2200 and UC-3420A series computers (Debian 11 or 13, ARM64), and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 computers.
PowerFlex 525 drives and CompactLogix PLCs over EtherNet/IP, on the same network as the computer running Cortex. Connect them before you install: drives added later are polled after the device restarts.
In a browser, at http://<device-ip>:8000, or your port if you changed it. On Windows, Setup opens http://localhost:8000 for you.
A new UC-2200A signs in as moxa / moxa and answers on LAN 2 at 192.168.4.127. Change that password before the device joins the plant network.
Yes. Under Login, create an account per operator, set its password, and grant it only the screens it needs.
Settings › Export Everything saves the settings, the device list and every motor profile to one file. Import Everything loads it on another unit.
The Downloads page lists each installer's SHA-256. Run Get-FileHash in PowerShell on the file and compare the two.
Set up your first device
Pick the computer Cortex will run on and follow the guide, screen by screen. No account to create, and the device never needs the internet.
