iOC Tech: IP30 Industrial 1-Port RS232/RS422/RS485 Serial Device Server

September 22, 2020

PLANET ICS-210xT Serial Device Server series is specially designed to convert RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial communication to Industrial Fast Thernet networking so as to extend the network distance efficiently and inexpensively. There are one 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 port and single-mode/multi-mode media available in the ICS-210xT series and its operating temperature ranes from -40 to 75 degrees C for your network needs. The ICS-210xT series is a time-saving and cost-effective solution for users and system integrators to quickly transform their serial devices into the Ethernet network with no need of replacing the existing serial devices and software system.

Efficiently Extend Network Distance (Only ICS-2105AT)

The ICS-2105AT especially equips one SFP fiber slot (mini-GBIC 100Base-FX SFP or small-form factor pluggable) and is able to extend the distance of deploying serial equipment and hosts. Users are able to select fiber-optic cables (based on distance) provided for distance extension from 550 meters (via multi-mode fiber) to 120 kilometers (via single-mode fiber) or longer.

Remote Management

As the ICS-210xT series provices easy serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and connection to a TCP/IP network, the remote network system can thus be managed efficiently cia its Web, telnet, and VCOM management interfaces. It supports both application and serial operation modes for alarm or IP address connection, which saves the network administrator’s time in detecting and locating network problems without visual inspection of the cabling and devices. Multiple connection options are available for a large networking environment as well.

Stable Performance under Difficult Environments

The ICS-210xT series provices a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curbside traffic control cabinets. Its operatiung temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees C allows the ICS-210xT series to be placed in almost any difficult environment.

The ICS-210xT series, equipped with compact IP30 standard metal case, allows either DIN-rail or wall mounting for efficient use or cabinet space. The ICS-210xT series also provides an integrated power supply source with a wid range of voltages (9 to 48V DC or 24V AC) ideally suitable for worldwide operation with high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.

Dual Power Input for High Availability Network System

The ICS-210xT series features a strong dual power input system with wide-ranging voltages (9V-48V DC or 24V AC) incorporated into a customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. For example, when Power Supply 1 fails to work, the hardware failover function will be activated automatically to keep powering the ICS-210xT series via Power Supply 2 without any break of operation.

Effective Alarm Alert for Better Protection

The ICS-210xT series comes with a Fault Alarm feature which can alert the users when there is something wrong with the Serial Device Server. With this ideal feature, the users would not have to waste time finding where the problem is. It will help to save time and human resources. The ICS-210xT series provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection, or the rebooting response.
