Introduction
The NPort IA5000A device servers are designed for connecting industrial automation serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives,
barcode readers, and operator displays. The device servers are solidly built, come in a metal housing and with screw connectors, and provide full
surge protection. The NPort IA5000A device servers are extremely user-friendly, making simple and reliable serial-to-Ethernet solutions possible.
Cascading Ethernet Ports Make Wiring Easy
The NPort IA5000A device servers each have two Ethernet ports that
can be used as Ethernet switch ports. One port connects directly to
the network or server, and the other port can be connected to either
another NPort IA device server or another Ethernet device. The dual
Ethernet ports help reduce wiring costs by eliminating the need to
connect each device to a separate Ethernet switch.
Redundant Power Inputs
The NPort IA5000A Series of device servers have two power inputs
that can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If
one power source fails, the other source takes over automatically.
Redundant power inputs help ensure uninterrupted operation of your
device server.
