Moxa NPort 5110 Serial Device Server

Note: This is a pre-owned Moxa NPort 5110 Serial Device Server, it does not include any warranty whatsoever.

Still relying on a serial device that’s tucked away in a control panel on the other side of the factory?

Every time you need to configure it or troubleshoot an issue, you end up:

  • Leaving your workstation
  • Walking across the factory floor
  • Connecting directly to the device
  • Sending commands manually

It wastes valuable time and slows down maintenance.

Now imagine your PLC, SCADA system, or industrial PC needs to communicate with that same serial device over your Ethernet network. The problem? Yeah that legacy device, the one that’s been on the factory floor for 15 years, it doesn’t have a ethernet port or wifi…

Bring Your Serial Devices onto the Network

The Moxa NPort 5110 is a 1-port RS-232 Serial Device Server that bridges the gap between serial and Ethernet networks. It allows virtually any RS-232 device to communicate over a standard TCP/IP network without modifying your existing equipment.

Whether you’re connecting:

  • Barcode scanners
  • Weigh scales
  • PLCs
  • HMIs
  • Card readers
  • Payment terminals
  • Industrial sensors
  • Legacy serial equipment

the NPort 5110 makes them instantly network accessible.

Instead of physically connecting to the device, you can securely send and receive serial data across your Ethernet infrastructure from anywhere on your network.
