The Black Box LES920A-RJ45-TB is a compact serial device server designed to bridge legacy industrial serial devices (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) to modern Ethernet networks. This unit is essential for integrating older PLCs, sensors, or control panels into an IP-based surveillance or automation system, enabling remote monitoring and management without replacing existing serial hardware. Its rugged construction and terminal block interface suit demanding environments.
This device server is designed for broad compatibility with industrial serial equipment supporting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols. It functions as a transparent gateway, meaning it passes serial data directly over TCP/IP or UDP, making it compatible with any host system or VMS that can communicate with serial devices via network. Specific compatibility extends to systems requiring serial data acquisition for logging or control, such as certain legacy NVRs or industrial automation controllers that utilize serial ports for configuration or data transfer.
Installation requires connecting the RS-232/422/485 serial interface via the terminal block and an Ethernet connection via the RJ45 port. Configuration is performed through a web interface or dedicated utility, allowing for IP address assignment, serial port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits), and network protocol selection (TCP Server/Client, UDP). Ensure proper grounding for the terminal block connections in industrial settings to prevent interference.
