NPort 5000 Series: Moxa Technologies Offers a Full Range of NPort Device Servers for Industrial Applications

 


Moxa Technologies, a world-renowned manufacturer of data communications equipment, offers end-users a full range of serial device servers for industrial applications. Moxa's 2G NPort Series of device servers includes 2/4/8/16 port models for the RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces, and offers a wide power input range (12-30 VDC for 2-port models, 12-48 VDC for 4/8/16-port models, and 100-240 VAC for 8/16-port models). The 2-port and 4-port RS-422/485 models are also available with optical isolation protection—a feature not readily available from other device server manufacturers—making Moxa the world's leading provider of device servers with isolation protection.

Serial Device Servers—tiny computers equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocol—network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices directly and easily. Many people now use MOXA NPort Serial Device Server solutions, and these products have earned a great reputation due to their quality and ease-of-use. One of the most useful features of the MOXA NPort 5000 Series is the LCM human-machine interface, which includes the LCM display and 4 buttons, for the 4-port NPort 5400 Series and 8/16-port NPort 5600 Series. Users can check and set up all configuration parameters, such as IP address, netmask, and gateway address, and select the operation mode with the LCM display and buttons.

MOXA's NPort 5000 Series inherits the superior software performance of Moxa's first generation of NPort Serial Device Servers, and comes with a powerful Windows utility to make installation and monitoring more efficient. And to ease your serial programming tasks, an IP serial library is also provided with MOXA NPort 5000 Series products.
