MOXA NPort IA5000A Series Features
The NPort IA5000A Series offers unique capabilities that simplify the installation process in industrial applications. With two integrated Ethernet switch ports, this series supports the same IP or dual IP configurations to provide enough flexibility in redundancy options, maintaining continuous communication. These Ethernet ports include auto MDI/MDI-X capability, which is excellent in enabling straightforward connections between network switches, servers, and additional NPort IA devices. For environments where uptime is critical, the series provides redundant DC power inputs with screw-type connectors to ensure continuous operation even if one power source fails. The durable metal housing and enhanced surge protection for serial, LAN, and power interfaces provide extra resilience against harsh industrial conditions. The series also includes advanced isolation protection, with 2 kV isolation for serial signals and 1.5 kV magnetic isolation for Ethernet ports, safeguarding both equipment and data integrity. Installation flexibility is built in, with support for DIN-rail mounting as standard and optional wall-mounting kits for alternative setups. These features make the Moxa NPort IA5000A device servers adaptable to a wide range of industrial deployments while ensuring secure and reliable communication.
