New from Moxa Technologies is the NPort Express DE-211, a single-port RS232/422/485 serial device server for 10Mbit/s Ethernet specially designed for use with industrial devices.
When using an SC connector (100BaseFX) to connect to an Ethernet network, the distance can be extended up to 40km using single mode fibre.
"Industrial automation applications require slim-type DIN rail modules to fit into small control cabinets".
"In addition, fibre Ethernet is getting more and more popular for high noise environments due to the reduced price of fibre optic cable", said Jackie Shi, Product Manager for Moxa.
"To meet this demand, Moxa's new NPort IA device servers come in a 1in-wide DIN-Rail type and fibre Ethernet NPort device server".
NPort IA device servers are equipped with a software selectable RS232/422/485 interface, and the 1in-wide NPort IA saves space in the DIN-rail mounting rack.
In addition, NPort IA device servers come with dual power inputs.
If one power source fails, or the Ethernet link is disconnected, alarms can be generated with a built-in relay, or an urgent e-mail alert can be sent to the administrator.
