Moxa's serial-to-Ethernet technology

January 2011 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Moxa continues its leading development of reliable, convenient, and efficient serial-to-Ethernet technology for today’s growing networking challenges with new serial-to-Ethernet technology that reduces power consumption, improves deployment efficiency, and achieves greater industrial network efficiency: introducing the new NPort 5100A series, an extension of the NPort product line.

A greener Serial-to-Ethernet solution

Equipped with the MiiNe, Moxa’s second generation SoC, NPort 5100A series products use 20% less components and 50% less power compared to existing solutions on the market. The unit is one of the only device servers in the world with power consumption under 1 Watt.

Easy 3-click deployment

Greater efficiency lightens the workload involved in system deployment, and this advantage is compounded in applications that use many devices. The NPort series uses new web-based tools designed to simplify deployment. Even an inexperienced user can perform the configuration with three clicks in around 30 seconds.

Surge-protected serial, Ethernet, and power lines

Designed to provide reliable serial-to-Ethernet communications, the NPort 5100A series features a winning combination of surge protection on the serial, Ethernet, and power lines. IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection certification confirms that the unit can maintain maximum productivity in electronically noisy environments.
