Cost effective solution for RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 to Ethernet
application
PLANET ICS-10x series Media Converter / Device Server provide to
converts Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 communication interface over
Fast Ethernet networking. There are RJ-45 and SC connectors and single-
mode/multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two
types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. This
converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the
PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1000 and MC-1500). It’s
time saving expense for user and SI, no need to replace the existing Serial
equipment and software system.
Extend distance
It extends the distance of deploying Serial equipments and hosts.
The selectable fiber-Optic wires on the basis of distance are provided.
Therefore, this product will perfectly satisfy the diverse demands while
providing reliable and efficient network solutions based on the distance
and budgets of installation.
Remote Manageable
The ICS-10x make connected Serial equipment becomes IP-based. That
also makes them be able to connect to a TCP/IP networking immediately.
Each Web-Smart converter is able to manage Web Interface. The powerful
Web-Smart Media Converter supports Application mode, Serial operation
mode connect alarm and IP address, etc. It helps reduce the amount of
valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and locating
network problems, otherwise it requires visual inspection of cabling and
equipment. Multiple connection options for large networking environment
are available as well.

Applications
Access Control System – traditional
installation
Most of the enterprise and government use
access control plate and Mifare or RFID to
authorize entrance identity. With traditional
deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or
RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to
login server. With connection to ICS-10x Serial
over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control
machine is able to be extend over longer
distances via fiber optical interface. The distance
can be up to 20km in a local range. Or the ICS10x can be linked to a XDSL router to get the
internet access capability; the access control can
be set and monitored over the internet.
Process Control
To monitor, configure and manage the
Robot conveyer including other machines in
manufacturing, PLC (Programmable Logical
Control) is required. The PLC is used to drive
above the manufacturing process. The ICS-10x
can be set to TCP Server mode and connect
the PLC. The administrator can configure and
set command settings through Fast Ethernet
intranet to control the PLC, the administrator
and workstation. There is no need to be always
by the side of the I/O machine.
ICS-100
ICS-102
ICS-102S15
RTU Data Collect – UDP Mode
Connect with RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) to
collect and monitor the data of waves, signal
and power utilization. ICS-10x can be used setup UDP mode and send data over Fast Ethernet
to Local server or over internet to remote server
automatically.
Surveillance motion control – Pair
Connection Mode
Using pair connection along with fiber optical
patch cord, the ICS-10x extend RS-232 / RS-422
/ RS-485 interfaces distance from surveillance
and scanner to the control keyboard/joystick
which is installed in the remote monitor center.
