NP301 Serial Converter

NP301 is the serial device server that can make serial device be equipped with networking capability instantly and centrally manage the scattered serial devices and hosts via network. The product supports 1 RS-232/RS-422 /RS-485 to 1 100M Ethernet copper port. It adopts wall mounting to meet the requirements of different application scenes.

Serial device server supports multiple network protocols, such as TCP, UDP, ARP, ICMP, HTTP, DNS and DHCP protocol. It also possesses complete management functions, including Access Control, Rapid Configuration, Online Upgrading and so on. Each serial port supports 4 TCP or UDP session connections, and it also supports TCP Server, TCP Client, TCP Auto, UDP, Advanced TCP Server, Advanced UDP operating modes and AT, WEB access modes. Furthermore, supplied management configuration tool based on Windows platform can guide the user to manage and configure the device, achieving immediate networking of serial device via simple settings. It can provide users with good experience with friendly design of network management system interface, simple and convenient operation.

Hardware adopts fanless, low power consumption, wide temperature and voltage design and has passed rigorous industrial standard tests, which can suit for the industrial scene environment with harsh requirements for EMC. It can be widely used in PLC control and management, Building Automation System, Health Care Automation System, measuring instrument and environmental forces monitoring system.
