Fiberoptic Device Server
CoBox-FL-IAP
Device Server
Choose from many industrial communications protocols
or the standard Serial Tunneling Protocol on the supplied CD
Connect enterprise (ERP, MES) systems to factory floor devices
without disturbing existing control networks
Dual serial ports support RS-232 (DB9) and RS-232, RS-422/485
(DB25) at rates up to 115,200 bps
Universal 100 VAC to 240 VAC power adapter included
Manage Industrial Devices Over Ethernet Networks
Through Fiberoptic Cabling
The CoBox-FL-IAP device server allows virtually any
serial device to connect to a new or existing Ethernet
network. Featuring a 10Base-FL fiberoptic interface,
it is ideal for applications that require long cable runs,
EMI/RFI immunity, and the inherent electrical isolation
offered by optical fiber.
The CoBox-FL-IAP is a member of the Lantronix IAP
(Industrial Automation Platform) family of products that are
loadable with various industrial communications protocols
from a supplied CD. The IAP CD allows the user to choose
the appropriate protocol that the application requires and
load that protocol into any of our IAP device servers. By
continuously adding additional industrial communication
protocols to the IAP CD, we will expand the number of
applications where IAP products can be used.
By encapsulating serial data and transporting it over
Ethernet, the CoBox-FL-IAP allows virtual serial links to be
established over the network. Limited distance, point-to-
point serial connections can now be extended within
the plant, throughout the facility, or across the global
enterprise. When used in conjunction with an OPC server,
Using Lantronix’s Com Port Redirector
™
software, existing
Com Port-based Windows
®
applications can access
network-enabled devices. Com Port Redirector creates
virtual serial ports which can be mapped to remote
device servers over Ethernet.
Installable communication drivers allow specific support
for most industrial communication protocols. With native
support for these protocols, devices that previously
allowed only one connection can now support multiple
connections simultaneously.
most Windows-based HMI, SCADA and PC-based control
applications have full access to information in the
connected device.
Easy Setup and Configuration
Flexible configuration options allow the unit to be set up
locally by using the serial port, or remotely over Ethernet
using Telnet or a common web browser. The CoBox-FL-IAP
contains Windows-based configuration software that
simplifies the process of installing communication drivers
and configuring them for use with attached devices.
Flash memory, also provided by the CoBox-FL-IAP,
provides maintenance-free, non-volatile storage and
accommodates future system upgrades.
