Cost-effective Solution for RS232/422/485 Serial-to-Ethernet ApplicationPLANET 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. 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 ManagementAs 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.ApplicationsAccess Control System – Traditional System Application: By applying the ICS-120 Serial Device Server, the access control machine is able to extend the network over longer distances via Ethernet interfaces. It can be linked to an xDSL router for internet access capability so that the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.Process Control: The ICS-120 can be set to the TCP server mode and connected to the PLC. The administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast Ethernet intranet to remotely control the PLC.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.Key FeaturesTwo DB9 interfaces that support RS232, 2-wire RS485, 4-wire RS485 and RS422 operationAsynchronous serial data rates up to 921600bpsData mode includes VCOM, RFC2217, TCP server, TCP client, UDP, remote pairing, Modbus converter server / client and serial telnet modes1-port 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 with auto MDI/MDI-X functionIPv4 and IPv6 dual stack managementRemote Management Interfaces: IP-based Web management, Telnet console management, Windows-based VCOM utility supports searching, monitoring and configuration settingIP NTP (Network Time Protocol)Standard TCP/IP interface and versatile operation modesSoftware Protocol supports ICMP, TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP server, DHCP client, Telnet server/clientSerial Operation mode selected via management interfacePair Connection mode for connecting two serial devices over a networkAllows a maximum of 4 hosts to be accessed as TCP client modeFirmware upgrade via HTTP protocolAccessible IP security control to prevent illegal usersEvent notification: Remote syslog server, SNMP trapDHCP client for IP address assignmentPLANET Smart Discovery utility automatically finds the client devices on the networkCase and InstallationCompact size for easy InstallationStandalone -- Wall mountable or DIN-rail mounting (optional accessory)External power adaptor 5V DC, 2A max.Supports 6000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection-10 to 60 degrees C operating temperatureSupports extensive LED indicators for network diagnosisReset button for resetting to factory defaultSpecificationsSerial Port: 2 x DB9 maleSerial Standards: RS232/RS422/4-wire RS485/2-wire RS485Baud Rate (Data Rate): 50bps to 921KbpsData Bits: 5, 6, 7, 8Stop Bit: 1, 1.5, 2Parity Type: Odd, Even, None, Space, MarkFlow Control: RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR (RS232 only), XON/XOFFSignals: RS232: TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, GND; RS422: Tx+, Tx-, Rx+, Rx-, GND; 4-wire RS485: Tx+, Tx-, Rx+, Rx-, GND; 2-wire RS485: Data A (+), Data B (-), GNDEthernet Ports: 1 x RJ45Standard: 10/100BASE-TXDistance: 100mESD Protection: 6KVDimensions (W x D x H): 94 x 70.3 x 26.2mmWeight: 189gLED Indicators: System: Link; TP Port: Link/Active; Serial Port: ActivePower Requirements: External Power Adaptor 5V DC, 2A max.Power Consumption: 5.5 watts (max.)Enclosure: MetalInstallation: Standalone, wall-mount, and DIN-rail kit (optional)Reset Button: < 5 sec: System reboot; > 5 sec: Factory defaultManagement Interfaces: Web management, Telnet Console management, Windows-based VCOM Utility management, SNMPv1, v2c / SNMP trap, UNI-NMS monitoring, PLANET Smart Discovery UtilityIP Version: IPv4 and IPv6Operation Mode: TCP server / TCP client, UDP client, Virtual COM, RFC2217, Telnet server, Pair connection – Remote (Slave), Pair connection – Local (Master), Modbus converter server / clientVirtual COM Utility Platform Support: Windows-based Only (XP, Server 2003, 7, Server 2008, 8, Server 2012, 10)Fault Alarm: Record: System log / SNMP trapTime: NTPSecurity: Accessible IP (white list)SNMP: SNMP v1 and v2cRegulatory Compliance: FCC Part 15 Class A, CE Certification Class AStandards: IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, RFC 768 UDP, RFC 793 TFTP, RFC 791 IP, RFC 792 ICMP, RFC 854 Telnet, RFC 958 NTP, RFC 1908 SNMPv2c, RFC 2068 HTTP, RFC 4443 ICMPv6, EIA/TIA RS232/422/485Regulatory Approval: RoHSOperating Temperature: -10 ~ 60 degrees CStorage Temperature: -10 ~ 70 degrees CHumidity: 5 ~ 95% (non-condensing)
