Overview
The NPort Server Lite Series is an industrial-strength,
network-based serial device server for connecting
up to four RS-232 or RS-422/485 devices, such
as CNCs, PLCs, weight scales, and scanners, directly
to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP.
The NPort Server Lite Series has a revolutionary
built-in human-machine LCM interface for displaying
configuration parameters. This includes buttons
for inputting data or for selecting the mode,
and allows easy setup of the server, such as IP
addresses, net mask, and gateway address. Furthermore,
it can also monitor server status and data transmission,
eliminating the need to prepare additional PCs
during installation.
In addition to allowing serial devices to be
networked, any PC Server or Workstation host without
network access can be set up to allow access to
remote serial devices by adding NPort Server Lite
to its existing serial port. In other words, a
pair of 1-port NPort Server Lites can be configured
over the Ethernet and serve as a transparent serial
channel without platform and distance limitations.
