The Moxa NPort 6400/6600 Series provides secure, reliable and flexible serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for up to 32 serial RS-232/422/485 devices. Designed for demanding industrial environments, it supports modern encryption standards (TLS, SSH) and offers IEC 62443-compliant security features.
Key advantages include a built-in 64 KB port buffer to prevent data loss during network outages, and an LCD panel (on standard 6600 models) for easy, local configuration. Each serial port can be individually configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 modes, and supports a wide range of standard and non-standard baudrates.
Additionally, adjustable RS-485 resistors via DIP switches enhance signal quality in challenging setups, while support for IPv6 and Ethernet redundancy ensures robust networking.
