Cost-effective Solution for RS232/422/485
Serial-to-Industrial Ethernet Application
PLANET ICS-2400T Serial
Device Server is specially designed to convert RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial
communication to Industrial
Fast Ethernet networking so as to extend the network distance efficiently
and inexpensively. There are two 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports available in the ICS-2400T for your
network needs. The ICS-2400T
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.
Remote
Management
As the ICS-2400T provides an
easy serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and connection to a TCP/IP network, the
remote network system can thus be managed efficiently via 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 large networking environment as well.
Stable Performance under Difficult
Environments
The ICS-2400T provides 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 operating temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees C allows the
ICS-2400T to be placed
in almost any difficult environment.
The ICS-2400T, equipped with
compact IP40 standard metal case, allows either DIN-rail or wall mounting for
efficient use of cabinet space. The ICS-2400T also provides
an integrated power supply source with a wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC)
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-2400T features a
strong dual power input system with wide-ranging voltages (12V~48V DC)
incorporated into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability
and uptime. In the example below, when Power Supply 1 fails to work, the
hardware failover function will be activated automatically to keep powering the
ICS-2400T via Power
Supply 2 without any break of operation.
Effective
Alarm Alert for Better Protection
The ICS-2400T 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 resource. The ICS-2400T
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.
Digital Input
and Digital Output for External Alarm
With digital input and
digital output on its front panel, an external alarm can help users via the
digital input to detect and log external device status (such as door intrusion
detector), and then immediately send an event alarm to the administrator. The
digital output can be used to alarm the administrator if the ICS-2400T serial port
shows DCD, changed DSR or power failure.
