Industrial RS-232/ RS-422/ RS-485 over Ethernet
Media Converter
Cost-effective Solutions of RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 for Industrial Ethernet
Applications
PLANET ICS-2100 Smart Media Converter / Device Server series offers conversion of
serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 communication to Industrial Fast Ethernet networking.
It allows serial and Ethernet communications to connect efficiently and inexpensively.
The ICS-2100 is a time-saving and cost-effective solution for users and SIs to quickly
transform its serial equipment to the Ethernet network with no need of replacing the
existing serial equipment and software system.
Remote Management
The ICS-2100 makes the connected serial equipment become the IP-based facilities and
able to connect to a TCP/IP networking immediately. It also provides Web Management
Interface for efficient network management. The powerful Web-Smart Media Converter
supports application mode and serial operation mode for alarm or IP address connection,
which helps reduce a network administrator’s time by detecting and locating network
problems without requiring visual inspection of cabling and equipment. Multiple
connection options are available for large networking environment as well.
Stable Performance under Difficult Environments
The ICS-2100 provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference
and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic
control cabinets. It’s operating temperature range from -10 to 60 degrees C allows the
ICS-2100 to be placed in almost any difcult environment..
The ICS-2100 is equipped with the compact, IP30 standard metal case that allows either
DIN rail or wall mounting for efcient use of cabinet space. The ICS-2100 also provides
an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC) ideally
suitable for worldwide operation with high availability applications requiring dual or backup
power inputs.
