MOXA NPort 5100A 5110A, 5130A, 5150A serial server Quick Installation Guide

NPort 5100A Series

Quick Installation Guide

Second Edition, June 2010

1. Overview

NPort 5100A series device servers are compact, palm-sized data communication devices that allow you to control RS-232 (NPort 5110A),

RS-422/485 (NPort 5130A), and RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5150A) serial devices over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet.

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

2. Package Checklist

Before installing the NPort 5100A series device server, verify that the package contains the following items:

 1 NPort 5100A serial device server

 4 stick-on pads

 Document & Software CD

 Quick Installation Guide

 Product Warranty Statement

Optional Accessory

 DK-35A: DIN-Rail Mounting Kit (35 mm)

Notify your sales representative if any of the above items are missing or damaged.

3. Hardware Introduction

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

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

P/N: 1802051000021

Off

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 value s. The default is 150 KΩ. Short the jumpers to set this value to 1 KΩ. Do not use the 1

KΩ setting with RS-232 mode, since doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and shorten the communication distance.

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

Reset Button—Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to load

factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to depress 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, release the reset button.

LED Indicators—NPort 5100A’s top panel has three LED indicators, which are described in the following table.

4. Hardware Installation Information

STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5100A series device server from the box, connect the NPort 5100A 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 5100A 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 5100A 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 5100A on a desktop or other horizontal surface, you may also make use of the DIN-Rail or Wall Mount options, as illustrated below.
