ICS-2102 / ICS-2102S15 / ICS-2105A

Industrial RS-232/ RS-422/ RS-485 over Ethernet Media Converter

Cost Cost Effective Solution for RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 to Industrial Ethernet Application
PLANET ICS-210x series Serial over Ethernet Converter is specially designed to convert serial RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 communication to Industrial Fast Ethernet networking and help to extend the network distance efficiently and inexpensively. There are SC and LC connectors with single-mode or multi-mode media available in the ICS-210x series for your network needs. The ICS-210x is a time-saving and cost-effective solution for user and SI to quickly transform its serial equipments to the Ethernet network with no need of replacing the existing Serial equipment and software system.

Efficiently Extend Network Distance
The ICS-210x series includes model no. ICS-2102, ICS-2102S15 and ICS-2105A. The ICS-2102 and ICS-2102S15 media converter can extend the deployment distance of serial equipments and hosts to 2km and 15km. The ICS-2105A, especially equips one SFP fiber slot (mini-GBIC 100Base-FX SFP, Small-Form Factor Pluggable), supports the deployed distance extension from 2km (via Multi-mode fiber) up to 120 kilometers (via Single-mode fiber) or longer. The ICS-210x series perfectly satisfy the diverse demands in various industrial network environments while providing reliable network solutions with budgets of installation.

Remote Manageable
The ICS-210x series makes the connected serial equipments become IP-Based facilities and able to connect to a TCP/IP network immediately. It also provides Web Management Interface for efficient remote network management. The powerful Web Smart Media Converter series supports Application mode and Serial operation mode for alarm or IP address connection, which saves the network administrator’s time in detecting and locating network problems without visual inspection of the cabling and equipments. Multiple connection options are available for large networking environment as well.

Stable Performance under Difficult Environments
The ICS-210x series provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. The feature of operating temperature range from -10 to 60 Degree C allows the ICS-210x series to be placed in almost any difficult environment.

The ICS-210x series equips with compact IP30 standard metal case that allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space. The ICS-210x series also provides an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC) ideally suitable for worldwide operation with high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.

Access Control System – Traditional System Application
Most of the enterprises and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize entrance identity. Traditionally, the access control machines use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface with their cables connecting to login server. By applying the ICS-210x series Serial over Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to extend the network over longer distances via fiber optical interface. The distance can be up to 15km in a local range. In other ways, the ICS-210x series can be linked to an xDSL router to get the internet access capability so that 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 to drive the above manufacturing process. The ICS-210x series can be set to the TCP Server mode and connect to the PLC. Thus, the administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast Ethernet intranet to remotely control the PLC, the administrator and workstation. It would be no need of being always by side of the I/O machine.

Surveillance motion control – Pair Connection Mode
Using pair connection along with fiber optical patch cord, the ICS-210x extend RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 interfaces distance from surveillance and scanner to the control keyboard/ joystick installed in the remote monitor center.
