Seriële server PLANET 2-poorts RS232/422/485

PLANET ICS-120 is a compact 2-port serial device server that converts two RS232/RS422/RS485 serial interfaces to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection, enabling legacy serial equipment to join a TCP/IP network without replacing existing hardware or software. The ICS-120 supports an operating temperature range of -10 to 60 °C and is designed for cost-effective, space-saving deployment in industrial and commercial environments.

Advantages

The ICS-120 provides reliable serial-to-Ethernet conversion with a single RJ45 10/100BASE-TX port and dual configurable serial ports supporting RS232, RS422, and RS485 standards. It offers flexible remote management via Web GUI, Telnet, and virtual COM (VCOM) interfaces, multiple operation modes for application or serial alarm/IP connection, and a compact low-power design (5.5 mA consumption) that simplifies integration into existing networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial devices (RS232/RS422/RS485) to Ethernet networks
• Industrial monitoring and control systems requiring remote access
• System integrators updating equipment without replacing serial hardware
• Environments with limited space where a compact serial server is needed

How to use

Install the ICS-120 near the serial devices to be networked, connect each device to one of the server's serial ports using the appropriate RS232/RS422/RS485 wiring, and plug an Ethernet cable into the 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 port to join the TCP/IP network. Configure network settings and serial parameters through the Web GUI, Telnet, or VCOM utility according to your application requirements. Choose the suitable operation mode (application or serial/alarm mode) to match how devices should initiate or respond to connections.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, mount the ICS-120 in a ventilated location within its specified temperature range (-10 to 60 °C), use shielded cabling where required to reduce interference, and back up device configuration after initial setup to simplify future maintenance or replacement.
