Moxa NPORT IA-5150

NPORT IA-5150 Data Sheet

The NPort IA5150/5250 series of device servers deliver easy and reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for

the industrial automation market. The NPort IA5150/5250 series is designed to allow any serial device to

connect to an Ethernet network. The compact size of NPort IA device servers makes them an ideal choice

for connecting RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode

readers, and operator displays. The NPort IA5150/5250 Series device servers come with a compact and

rugged DIN-Rail mountable casing.

NPort IA serial device servers ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network

API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing five modes: TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Pair Connection,

Ethernet Modem, and Rtelnet. Thanks to NPort IA5150/5250 series’ Real COM/TTY drivers, software that

works with COM/TTY ports can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network, without modifying the serial COM

software applications. This excellent feature preserves your software investment and lets you enjoy the

benefits of networking your serial devices instantly.

NPort IA serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and manual

configuration via a handy web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and effective installation. And

with NPort IA5150/5250’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward, since all system parameters

can be stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
