Industrial Serial Device Server for
Large Scale Applications |
Overview
|
| |
NPort Server Pro
is an industrial-strength, network-based serial device server for
connecting 8/16 RS-232 devices, such as CNCs, PLCs, scales, and
scanners, directly to a TCP/IP network (Ethernet or Internet).
Compared to similar devices on the market, it has the lowest cost,
best performance, and most advanced features.
Both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections are supported,
providing higher bandwidth, lower traffic impact, and more layout
flexibility.
NPort Server Pro has a professional cabinet design, with Tx/Rx LEDs
for all ports on the front panel, and all of the 8/16 RS-232 RJ45
connectors located on the rear panel. This makes NPort Server Pro
suitable for standard 19-inch rack mounting, and simplifies its
operation, maintenance, and administration. |
