MOXA NPort S8000 Series Features
The Moxa NPort S8000 series has been equipped with several cutting-edge features to enhance its functionality and reliability in industries. It supports serial QoS and ensures high-quality and priority-based data transmission for critical applications. These combo industrial device servers include a built-in managed Ethernet switch to manage their Ethernet network directly through the device and enhance control over the network infrastructure. The Ethernet redundancy with Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain functionality ensures reliable and uninterrupted communication even if part of the network goes down. The series provides surge protection for serial, Ethernet, and power inputs to ensure the device operates safely in high-voltage environments and protects against electrical surges. The NPort S8000 series includes 2 x digital input channels, which are useful for integrating various sensors and monitoring systems. The devices support 4 x RS-232/422/485 serial ports for integration with a range of serial devices, and the 2 kV isolation for serial signals (isolation models) helps prevent damage from electrical interference. The series comes with a metal housing to provide durability and protection in harsh environments. It also offers DIN-rail mounting and wall mounting (with optional kit) installation options in different setups. With a wide input range of 12-48 VDC, it is suitable for various power conditions.
