Serial Device Servers

100BaseFX fiber models of the NPort IA5000 device server are
available, supporting transmission distances up to 2 km for multi-
mode models and up to 40 km for single-mode models. Optical
fiber is well-suited for industrial applications because it is immune
to electromagnetic noise and interference. For environments that
experience high ground loop voltages, fiber provides the best isolation
protection. Since there is no danger of sparks being created with fiber
optic media, it is also safer to use in hazardous environments than
copper wire.
To ensure safe and reliable operation in industrial environments,
the NPort IA5000 device server has obtained various industrial
certifications, including the IP30 rating for mechanical protection,
UL508 safety certification for industrial control equipment, and
Fiber for Ethernet Communication
Industrial Grade Certification
Redundant Power Inputs
Dual Power Inputs Power Failure Alarm
NPort IA5000 series 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 assure non-stop operation of your device server.
The built-in relay output can be used to alert administrators of
problems with the Ethernet links or power inputs, with the web console
indicating which Ethernet link or power input has failed. An e-mail
warning can also be issued when an exception is detected. These
functions are valuable tools that enable maintenance engineers to react
promptly to emergency situations.
Relay Output Warning and E-mail Alerts
explosion-safe certifications for hazardous locations
including UL/cUL Class 1, Division II, Groups A, B, C,
D and ATEX Class 1, Zone 2.
