The NPort S8000 Series combines an industrial device server with a full-function managed Ethernet switch with 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, allowing you to easily install, manage, and maintain the product. Combining a device server and switch in one product allows you to save space in your cabinet, reduce overall power consumption, and reduce costs, since you will not need to purchase a switch and serial device server separately.
The NPort S8000 Series supports the complete array of NPort 5000 device server functions. You can network your existing serial devices by connecting up to 4 serial devices through Ethernet ports, with only basic configuration required. In addition, data transmission between the serial and Ethernet interfaces is bidirectional.
The NPort S8000 Series has a built-in full-functionmanaged Ethernet switch that supports QoS, IGMP-snooping/GMRP, VLAN,Port Trunking, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and IEEE 802.1X, allowing you to handlevirtually any kind of application. Ethernet redundancy, which is usedto increase the reliability and availability of your industrial Ethernetnetwork, is provided by Moxa’s Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technology(recovery time
Device-level communication networks for industrial automation are very critical since they are used to control and monitor device processes. The reliability of these communications depends on ring redundancy at the device level, which is designed to provide fast network fault detection and reconfiguration in order to support the most demanding control applications. The NPort S8000 Series integrates a full function NPort device server with an industrial switch to carry serial and Ethernet devices at the same time.
In addition, the NPort S8000 Series can also achieve ring redundancy with standard STP/RSTP and Moxa’s proprietary Turbo Ring or Turbo Chain 2 redundancy protocols. This all-in-one design can be used to optimize and simplify your device network and enhance reliability.
