The typical shop floor uses several RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial devices. Engineers who want to use only one model of device server to control all of their serial devices over Ethernet can choose NPort 5150, since NPort 5150's serial port has a 3-in-1 RS-232/422/485 design. A simple adjustment of NPort 5150's configuration allows users to select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 to manage many different devices, including barcode readers, card readers, PLCs, and robots.

Most Cost-effective Device Server
Using serial-to-Ethernet to connect legacy serial devices to Ethernet is no longer a novel solution. Users now expect to be able to find device servers that are cost-effective, provide a broad selection of different functions, and are high quality. With its full support of Microsoft and Linux operating systems and solid 5-year warranty, NPort 5150 is one of the best device server solutions in the worldwide industrial market.
