Product Change Notification - PCN 001070
July 7, 2025

We would like to inform you that Moxa is going to make changes to the SDS-3008 and SDS-3016 Series.



Please review the details below to determine how these changes will affect your products and/or operations.




What will change?

To maintain stable supply and design consistency across the new SDS-3000/G3000 Series, several chips and other components will be changed. Some minor changes would also be made to the appearance, but they will not affect the dimensions of the products.


The following changes will be implemented in the new versions:
  • The rotary DIP switch will be added to the bottom of the SDS-3008 Series to align with the design of the new SDS-3000/G3000 Series and provide an easier configuration option.
  • A one-side screw will be added to the terminal block to provide better reliability. The current terminal block is compatible with the new top panel design.
  • Minor appearance changes:
    • The I/O position on the top panel shifts slightly, placing it in the middle of the panel.
    • The inscription with the port number shifts slightly.
  • The latest firmware version v3.2, with added functions including Fiber Check and Trusted Access, will be included in the new product versions. Firmware version v3.0 or after is compatible with both current and new hardware version products, but firmware version v2.2 or before is not compatible with the new hardware product versions.

      FWR v2.2 or before FWR v3.0 or after
    HW v1.0 Compatible Compatible
    HW v2.0 Not compatible Compatible

  • Rotary DIP switch settings rule: In FWR v3.0, Modbus TCP default changes from default enabled to default disabled because of the security enhancement, adding Modbus TCP-related configurations on Indicator 5 and 6. In addition, to include more diversified applications, MECHATROLINK-4 configuration is also added on Indicator 7 in FWR v3.2 and after.
