Server puts serial devices on fibre networks
Korenix Technology has added the JetPort 5601f RS232/422/485 three-in-one to fibre Ethernet device server to its JetPort product line.
Industrial managed switches offer high speed
The recovery time of a Gigabit fibre ring or a fast Ethernet copper ring connected in JetNet 5010G can reach to less than 5ms.
Switches and convertors handle strenuous tests
The JetNet 5010G/3010G/4508/2005 and JetCon 1301 provide 1200V AC port to port isolation protection to protect the operator from electrical shock.
The JetPort 5601 has built-in dual Ethernet ports.
Both Ethernet ports are linked to upper communication ports and only one link can be activated at a time.
When the master link breaks, the redundant back-up link will be activated in less than 200ms to guarantee the nonstop data communications.
Usually, this extra feature will be installed in high-end intelligent Ethernet device.
Now Korenix implemented this device-end redundancy feature in JetPort 5601 with a reliable solution.
Configured serial interface RS232/422/485 in software, JetPort 5601's supports speed as high as 460.8Kbit/s.
JetPort 5601 can be configured by JetPort Commander, an easy-to-use utility for Windows that covers all management, monitoring, and control functions for one or many JetPort servers.
In addition to Windows configuration, users can configure JetPort 5601 via web and Telnet, giving administrators the flexibility for device management.
JetPort 5601 can be installed in wall mount or DIN-rail mounted.
The JetPort 5601's serial port supports RS232, RS422, two- or four-wire RS485 and is configured by software.
The serial port can work in various communication modes, including virtual com, TCP server, TCP client, UDP, and serial tunnel.
The JetPort 5601 also supports HTTPS and SSH for secured communication management.
Advanced settings for controlling the data communications such as TCP alive check, delimiter, and timeout are also supported.
For industrial redundant solutions, JetPort supports to maximum five simultaneous connections for virtual com, TCP server, TCP client modes, sending data to five hosts simultaneously.
