LNX-004 is a LAN converter that allows you to use RS-485/RS-422 from a LAN. It uses a D-Sub 9-pin interface connector. LNX-004e does not support PoE.

overview

　LNX-004 is a LAN converter that allows you to use RS-485/RS-422 via Ethernet. The RS-485/RS-422 side is insulated.
The LAN is originally insulated, so it is double insulated. It can be connected to
　LNX-001 and connected in tunneling mode (transparent mode/1:1 communication without going through a PC).
It is also possible to connect LNX-004 to LNX-004. In that case, it can join another RS485/422 line group. It is
　also possible to connect directly to LNX-004 from a PC using TCP/UDP or Telnet.
It comes standard with PoE function, so it can be powered from the LAN cable. (PoE-compatible HUB, etc. is required.) It can also be operated with the included AC adapter. LNX-004e works with the AC adapter.

It is also possible to connect directly to the LNX-004 from a PC via TCP/IP.

Features

• Media converter function to convert RS-485/RS-422 to LAN
• Two LNX-004 units can be used for 1:1 connection in tunneling mode (transparent mode).
• Automatically detects 10Base-T/100Base-TX
• Easy device setup with setting memory card (microSD)
  • When replacing equipment, you can easily migrate by replacing the setting memory card.
  • Setting data can be sent to remote locations via email attachments, etc.
  • There are no restrictions on the IP address that can be set (can be set outside the segment)
  • Easily back up and record settings by saving the settings file
• Device settings can also be configured via network (LAN) using the original setting tool.
• PoE compatible, so power can be supplied via LAN cable (LNX-004e does not support PoE)
• Virtual COM port support
• Industrial Design
• Small lot OEM possible
  from 50 units, we will provide you with your original nameplate.
• Free of 10 substances restricted by the RoHS Directive

D-Sub 9-pin connector pin assignment

LNX series setting tool

　This is an application for creating setting data for the LNX series.

　The created setting data is automatically configured by inserting it into the setting memory card (microSD) and turning on the power.
At this time, a backup file of the setting data is created on the setting memory card (microSD).
The setting data is saved even when the power is turned off, so there is no need to insert the microSD card next time.
When replacing the main unit of the LNX series, you can easily set it to the same settings by using the setting memory card (microSD).
If the PC and product are connected in the same segment, you can also configure it via the network (LAN).
