A greener serial-to-Ethernet solution
The NPort 5200A serial-to-Ethernet range offer users an ultra-lean, user-friendly and ruggedized device, making a simple and reliable serial-to-Ethernet converter. With two serial ports and one RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port, you are able to control RS-232 (NPort 5210A), RS-422/485 (NPort 5230A), and RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5250A) serial devices over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet.
Featuring Real COM/TTY, the drivers allow for a transparent data tunnel from a local COM/TTY port to the NPort’s serial port, with the PC’s treating the NPort’s ports as local. An additional benefit for the NPort 5200A is the COM Grouping function. What this does is allow the creation of a COM group which redirect data from it to several physical ports on the NPort device servers. Users will have control of multiple serial ports simultaneously by operating only one COM port.
The NPort 5200A also saves at least 50% on power consumption compared to existing solutions on the market, which helps users meet the range of tough environmental compliance challenges found in industrial environments.
