NPort Server Lite

 
Easy-to-use Industrial Serial Device Server for
Distributed Applications


 

 
Specifications | Ordering info | PDF Datasheet Download


 

Overview
  The NPort Server Lite Series is an industrial-strength, network-based serial device server for connecting up to four RS-232 or RS-422/485 devices, such as CNCs, PLCs, weight scales, and scanners, directly to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP.

The NPort Server Lite Series has a revolutionary built-in human-machine LCM interface for displaying configuration parameters. This includes buttons for inputting data or for selecting the mode, and allows easy setup of the server, such as IP addresses, net mask, and gateway address. Furthermore, it can also monitor server status and data transmission, eliminating the need to prepare additional PCs during installation.

In addition to allowing serial devices to be networked, any PC Server or Workstation host without network access can be set up to allow access to remote serial devices by adding NPort Server Lite to its existing serial port. In other words, a pair of 1-port NPort Server Lites can be configured over the Ethernet and serve as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitations.



 

Features
 
  • Built-in human-machine LCD interface for setting up the server and displaying its IP address
  • Auto-detecting 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface
  • Industrial strength design with DIN rail mounting rack; surge protection for all ports (15KV ESD)
  • Built-in Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol supports Driver Mode, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server/Client, Pair connction (1 prot version only)
  • RS-485 ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) intelligence
  • Supports Windows Native COM drivers with automatic network connection recovery
  • Supports Linux fixed/real tty drivers
  • Comes with MOXA PComm Pro, the professional RS-232 communications development tool, including an easy to use API, Data Scope utility, and Performance Analyzer
   



 

Benefits
 
  • Control RS-232 or RS-422/485 devices located virtually anywhere, via an Ethernet or the Internet
  • Easy installation and configuration in less than 15 minutes, saving engineer's time
  • Easy maintenance and troubleshoot with IP dispklay
  • Needless to change existing COM application software, saving hardware upgrade costs
