NPort IA5150A

Description

Features and Benefits

• 2 Ethernet ports with the same IP or dual IP addresses for network redundancy
• C1D2, ATEX, and IECEx certified for harsh industrial environments
• Cascading Ethernet ports for easy wiring
• Enhanced surge protection for serial, LAN, and power
• Screw-type terminal blocks for secure power/serial connections
• Redundant DC power inputs
• Warnings and alerts by relay output and email
• 2 kV isolation for serial signals (isolation models)
• -40 to 75°C operating temperature range (-T models)

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.

Relay Output Warning and Email Alerts

The built-in relay output can be used to alert administrators when the network is down, when power failure occurs, or when there is a change in the DCD or DSR serial signals. An email warning can also be issued when an abnormality is detected. These functions are valuable tools that enable maintenance engineers to react promptly to emergency situations.
