Overview

NPort 5100 series device servers are compact, palm-sized data communication devices that allow you to control RS-232 (NPort

5110), RS-422/485 (NPort 5130), and RS-232/422/485 (NPort

5150) serial devices over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet.

Note: “-T” indicates an extended temperature model.

Hardware Introduction

As shown in the following figures, NPort 5100 series device servers have one male DB9 port for transmitting RS-232 (NPort 5110),

RS-422/485 (NPort 5130), or RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5150) serial data.

NOTE The NPort 5110, NPort 5130, and NPort 5150 have the same form factor.

Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to

load factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED stops blinking (after about 5 seconds).

At this point, you should release the reset button.

No data is being transmitted or received through the serial port.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485

(150 KΩ or 1 KΩ)

Jumpers are used to set the pull high/low resistor values. The default is

150 KΩ. Short the jumpers to set this value to 1 KΩ. Do not use the KΩ setting with RS-232 mode, since doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and shorten the communication distance.

Hardware Installation Information

STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5100 series device server from the box, connect the NPort 5100 series device server to a network.

Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When setting up or testing the NPort 5100 series device server, you might find it convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.

STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5100 series device server’s serial port to a serial device.

STEP 3: Connect the power adaptor.

STEP 4: Placement options

In addition to placing the NPort 5100 on a desktop or other horizontal surface, you may also make use of the DIN-Rail or

Wall Mount options, as illustrated here.
