ICS-100

RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 over Fast Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

Cost effective solution for RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 to Ethernet application
PLANET ICS-10x series Media Converter / Device Server provide to converts Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 communication interface over Fast Ethernet networking. There are RJ-45 and SC connectors and single-mode / multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700 / MC-1500/ MC-1500R / MC-1500R48). It's time saving expense for user and SI, no need to replace the existing Serial equipment and software system.

Extend distance
It extends the distance of deploying Serial equipments and hosts. The selectable fiber-Optic wires on the basis of distance are provided. Therefore, this product will perfectly satisfy the diverse demands while providing reliable and efficient network solutions based on the distance and budgets of installation.

Remote Manageable
The ICS-10x make connected Serial equipment becomes IP-based. That also makes them be able to connect to a TCP / IP networking immediately. Each Web-Smart converter is able to manage Web Interface. The powerful Web-Smart Media Converter supports Application mode, Serial operation mode connect alarm and IP address, etc. It helps reduce the amount of valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and locating network problems, otherwise it requires visual inspection of cabling and equipment. Multiple connection options for large networking environment are available as well.

Application

Access Control System – traditional installation
Most of the enterprise and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize entrance identity. With traditional deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to login server. With connection to ICS-10x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to be extend over longer distances via Ethernet. Or the ICS-10x can be linked to a XDSL router to get the internet access capability; the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.

Process Control
To monitor, configure and manage the Robot conveyer including other machines in manufacturing, PLC (Programmable Logical Control) is required. The PLC is used to drive above the manufacturing process. The ICS-10x can be set to TCP Server mode and connect the PLC. The administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast Ethernet intranet to control the PLC, the administrator and workstation. There is no need to be always by the side of 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. ICS-10x can be used 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 along with fiber optical patch cord, the ICS-10x extend RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 interfaces distance from surveillance and scanner to the control keyboard/joystick which is installed in the remote monitor center.
