Introduction
NPort® IA device servers provide easy and reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for industrial automation applications. The device servers can
connect any serial device to an Ethernet network, and to ensure compatibility with network software, they support a variety of port operation
modes, including TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP. The rock-solid reliability of the NPort® IA device servers makes them an ideal choice for
establishing network access to RS-232/422/485 serial devices such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode readers, and operator
displays. All models are housed in a compact, rugged housing that is DIN-rail mountable.
Cascading Ethernet Ports Make Wiring Easy (10/100BaseTX models)
The NPort® IA5150 and IA5250 device servers each have two
Ethernet ports that can be used as Ethernet switch ports. One port
connects directly to the network or server, and the other port can be
connected to either another NPort® IA device server or an Ethernet
device. The dual Ethernet ports help reduce wiring costs by
eliminating the need to connect each device to a separate Ethernet
switch.
Redundant Power Inputs
The NPort® IA5000 device servers have two power inputs that can be
connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If one power
source fails, the other source takes over automatically. Redundant
power inputs help assure that your device server will operate
nonstop.
Relay Output Warning and Email Alerts
The built-in relay output can be used to alert administrators of problems with the Ethernet links or power inputs, or when there is a change in the
DCD or DSR serial signals. The web console indicates which Ethernet link or power input has failed, or which serial signal has changed. An email
warning can also be issued when an exception is detected. These functions are valuable tools that enable maintenance engineers to react promptly
to emergency situations.
