Moxa has announced a new generation of industrial serial device servers in the NPort IA5000-G2 series. This device allows you to connect equipment with RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces — such as PLCs, sensors, meters, electric motors, and other equipment—to a computer (or other device) via an Ethernet network.
Features and benefits
|
Configuration of Real COM mode using the new DSU-G2 utility. |
|
2× Ethernet ports with one or two IP addresses for daisy-chaining or for ensuring uninterrupted network operation (network redundancy). |
|
Data encryption with Secure Operations Mode support: Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, Pair Connection, Terminal, and Reverse Terminal. |
|
One-click diagnostics for easy troubleshooting. NPort IA5000-G2 devices feature a one-click log collection function, allowing you to quickly obtain a complete set of data needed by support to resolve issues efficiently. |
|
Built-in traffic monitoring for advanced data analysis. The intelligent monitoring feature provides a complete and visual overview of your system. |
|
Support for 10/100Base-TX (RJ45), 100Base-FX (single-mode or multi-mode fiber with SC/ST connectors), as well as 100Base SFP. |
|
Compliance with DNV, CID2, ATEX Zone 2, and IECEx standards. |
Alerts via relay output and email
The built-in relay output provides notifications for various events, such as network disconnection, power failures, or changes in DCD and DSR signals on the serial ports. Additionally, the system can send email alerts when network faults are detected. These features are important tools that allow engineers to respond promptly to abnormal situations.
For user convenience, the new NPort IA5000-G2 models are available in several configurations — with a DB9 connector or a terminal block equipped with a push-and-pull locking mechanism, allowing you to choose the most suitable connection type for specific operating conditions. Depending on the model, the device may feature two RJ45 ports, one RJ45 port and an SC/ST connector, or one RJ45 port and an SFP slot, providing flexibility for fiber optic connections and simplifying integration into existing network infrastructure.
