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 IA5250device servers each have two Ethernet ports that can be used as Ethernetswitch ports. One port connects directly to the network or server,and the other port can be connected to either another NPort® IA deviceserver or an Ethernet device. The dual Ethernet ports help reducewiring costs by eliminating the need to connect each device to a separateEthernet 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.

Optical Fiber for Ethernet Communication

The NPort® IA5000 Series includes 100BaseFX fiber models that support transmission distances up to 5 km for multi-mode models, and up to 40 km for single-mode models. Optical fiber is well-suited for industrial applications because it is immune to electromagnetic noise and interference. For environments that experience high ground loop voltages, fiber provides the best isolation protection, and because there is no danger of sparking, optical fiber is safer than copper wire to use in hazardous environments.

Industrial-grade Certification

To ensure safe and reliable operation in industrialenvironments, the NPort® IA5000 device servers have obtained variousindustrial certifications, including an IP30 rating for mechanicalprotection, UL 508 safety certification for industrial control equipment,and explosion-safe certifications for hazardous locations. Certificationsinclude UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, as well as ATEXClass 1 Zone 2, and IECEx Zone 2.
