MOXA NPORT 5650I-8-DT: CONNECT EIGHT LEGACY SERIAL DEVICES TO ETHERNET

PRODUCT SUMMARY: The Moxa NPort 5650I-8-DT is an eight-port RS-232/422/485 desktop device server with DB9 male connectors, dual 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports and 2 kV optical isolation on the serial interface. It gives plants a structured way to bring established serial equipment into IP-based monitoring and control networks.

WHY IT FITS BROWNFIELD AUTOMATION

Production assets often remain serviceable long after their original point-to-point communication architecture becomes difficult to maintain. The NPort 5650I-8-DT consolidates up to eight serial links, allowing PLCs, meters, barcode readers, CNC equipment and other devices to be reached through Ethernet without replacing the field equipment itself.

Dual Ethernet ports provide practical network connection options, while the isolated serial design helps reduce the risk that electrical disturbances on field wiring propagate into the communication server.

CORE TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

• 8 × DB9 male serial ports supporting RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485

• 2 × 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 Ethernet ports with built-in 1.5 kV magnetic isolation

• 2 kV optical isolation on NPort 5650I serial interfaces

• Standard baud rates from 50 bps to 921.6 kbps

• 12–48 VDC input, two power-input methods and reverse-polarity protection

• Metal housing with LCD panel and push-button configuration

DEPLOYMENT AND MANAGEMENT

Configuration is available through serial, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS web console and Windows utility options. Real COM and Real TTY support help applications continue using familiar serial-port workflows while the physical connection moves to Ethernet.
