Cost-effective Solution for RS232/422/485 Serial-to-Ethernet Application
PLANET ICS-120 Serial Device Server is specially designed to convert two serial RS232/RS422/RS485 communication interfaces into Fast Ethernet networking to extend the network distance efficiently and inexpensively.
There is one 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 port in the ICS-120, making connected serial equipment become IP-based, and able to also connect to a TCP/IP networking immediately. And its operating temperature ranging from -10 to 60 degrees C is designed for all your network requirements.
The ICS-120 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-120 provides 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 administrator’s time in detecting and locating network problems without visual inspection of the cabling and devices. Multiple connection options are available for a large networking environment as well.
Access Control System – Traditional System Application
Most of the enterprises and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize entrance identity. Traditionally, the access control machines use RS232 or RS485 serial interface with their cables connecting to login server. By applying the ICS-120 Serial Device Server, the access control machine is able to extend the network over longer distances via Ethernet interfaces. In addition, the ICS-120 can be linked to an xDSL router to get the internet access capability so that the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.
Process Control
To monitor, configure and manage the robotic conveyer including other production machines, PLC (programmable logical control) is required to drive the above manufacturing process. The ICS-120 can be set to the TCP server mode and connected to the PLC. Thus, the administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast Ethernet intranet to remotely control the PLC, without having to stand by the I/O machine.
RTU Data Collect – UDP Mode
Connect with RTU (remote terminal unit) to collect and monitor the data of waves, signal and power utilization. The ICS-120 can be used to set up UDP mode and send data over Fast Ethernet to local server or over Internet to remote server automatically.
Surveillance Motion Control – Pair Connection Mode
Using pair connection mode via the fiber optic patch cord, the ICS-120 can extend the distance of the deployed devices via RS232, RS422 and RS485 interfaces, making the remote management of these devices from the monitoring center easier and efficient.
