The NPort 6000 series represents a leap forward in Serial to Ethernet technology. With many innovations included for little extra cost, the 6000 series will revolutionise the way you manipulate RS232, RS422 & RS485 data in industrial applications. The unit supports Power over Ethernet to make remote powering simple, an SD memory card slot for buffering serial data if a network connection is unavailable and "any baud rate capability" for communicating with devices that use non-standard serial baud rates.
