  NPort 5600-8-DT Desktop Series—Compact and versatile mounting design for a variety of applications
A Customer-driven and Solution-oriented Website


The leading device server manufacturer MOXA is pleased to announce the release of its new compact size 8-port NPort 5650-8-DT desktop serial device servers. The NPort 5600-8-DT servers are 8-port, 3-in-1 serial device servers that support the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces. The NPort 5600-8-DT series is the best choice for applications that need additional serial ports, such as POS, Factory Automation, and Power Distribution EMS System applications.

Flexible mounting design
NPort 5650-8-DT servers can be mounted on a desktop, DIN-rail, or wall. You can also attach the DIN-rail kit to the bottom panel of the NPort 5600-8-DT to save space on the rail, or place the NPort 5600-8-DT in a smaller cabinet.

Two Ethernet ports for convenient, cascade-style wiring
The NPort 5650-8-DT device servers come with two Ethernet ports that can be used as Ethernet switch ports. Connect one port to the network or server, and the other port to another Ethernet device. The dual Ethernet ports eliminate the need to connect each device to a separate Ethernet switch, reducing wiring costs.

Conveniently designed for RS-485 applications
The NPort 5650-8-DT device servers support selectable 1 KΩ and 150 KΩ pull high/low resistors and a 120Ω terminator. In some critical environments, termination resistors may be needed to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is also important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since no set of resistor values is universally compatible with all environments, NPort 5600-8-DT device servers use DIP switches to allow users to adjust termination and pull high/low resistor values manually for each serial port.

Convenient power inputs
The NPort 5650-8-DT device servers support both a power terminal block and power jack for ease of use and greater flexibility. Users can connect the terminal block directly to a DC power source, or use the power jack to connect to an AC circuit through an adaptor.

Built-in automatic warning function by voice or e-mail
The built-in speakers can be used to alert administrators of problems with the Ethernet links or power input. The web console indicates which Ethernet link or power input has failed. An e-mail warning can also be issued when an exception is detected. These functions are valuable tools that enable maintenance engineers to react promptly to emergency situations.
