NPort 5200 series serial device servers are designed to make the user's industrial serial devices Internet ready instantly. The compact size of the NPort 5200 device servers makes them a suitable choice for connecting RS232 or RS422/485 serial devices, such as PLCs, meters, and sensors, to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for software to access serial devices anywhere on a local LAN, or the Internet.
Standard TCP/IP interface and versatile operation modes
NPort 5200 serial device servers provide TCP server, TCP client and UDP, ensuring the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API (Winsock, BSD sockets). Thanks to NPorts real COM/TTY drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can now work on a TCP/IP network.
The serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BootP) and manual configuration through the Web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and effective installation. And with NPort 5200's Windows utility, the installation job becomes more pleasant, since all system parameters can be stored and copied to many other device servers.
By specifying the IP address and port number of NPort 5200, the serial device can be reached by network sockets API from any host computer that supports TCP/IP. When the automation software is based on COM/TTY under Windows/Linux, Moxa's COM/TTY driver allows legacy software to work seamlessly over the Internet.
