The JetNet 3500 Series comprises five- and eight-port unmanaged Ethernet switches with a plug-and-play Super Ring function and relay output alarm for port break and power failure.
The JetPort 5604 series is also equipped with two types of redundant power inputs, four digital inputs and two digital outputs.
The JetPort 5604 series can be configured by JetPort Commander, the easy to-use Windows utility which supports device discovery, device configuration, multiple device setup wizard and monitoring, and HTTPS and SSH for secured management.
Notification includes the email alert, system log, SNMP traps and digital output for pre-defined events.
Applications include remote petrol pump controls in petrol stations, control and monitor field sensors network in industrial automation, automatic warehouse control systems, and emote and distributed serial device control systems.
The JetPort 5604 has four three-in-one RS232/422/485 serial ports.
The JetPort 5604i provides four RS422/485 serial interfaces with 2kV isolation protection.
All of the ports can be configured with different serial interface types, like RS232, RS422, two-wire RS485 or four-wire RS485.
Each of the ports also can be configured with different service modes.
Users can configure serial port 1 to Virtual COM mode, serial port 2 to TCP server, serial port 3 to TCP client and serial port 4 to UDP mode.
All of the serial ports have their own settings and can work well at the same time.
The JetPort 5604 system can use the four digital inputs, two digital outputs to determine the state of limit or safety switches or to receive remote digital signals from connected devices in industrial fields.
It allows users to connect the termination units' 5V TTL digital input/output.
JetPort also provides one data port for user to programme I/O via get and set commands.
JetPort 5604i is equipped with 2kV optical isolation protection and 15kV ESD surge protection of serial interfaces.
Optical isolation solves the problem of ground looping which can severely garble communications, by effectively lifting the connection between the serial data line and ground at either end of the serial networking line.
