EMBEDDED INTERNET
The NEWPORT® iSeries devices can connect directly to an Ethernet network with a standard RJ-45 connector and can send and receive data in standard TCP/IP packets. (Please specify EI or C4EI option.)
The iSeries devices can serve Web pages over an Ethernet LAN or even over the Internet making it possible to monitor and control a process through a web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) from anywhere in the facility or anywhere in the world.

Remote
Control
For example, using an iSeries 1/16 DIN temperature controller to control a heater, an engineer can monitor the temperature, change set points or alarm points, turn the heater on and off, or make other modifications from anywhere on the local network, or anywhere on the Internet. The web pages are easily customized and secure password protected access to the devices is easily controlled. And it requires absolutely no special software on the engineer's computer to view the data and "supervise" the controller--nothing other than a Web Browser. Most remarkable is that all this can be accomplished without a computer.

Email
and Alarm
In fact, the iSeries controller can even send an email to the engineer (or anyone he chooses) alerting him to an alarm condition or updating the status. Leveraging the technology of the Internet, the engineer could receive a message from his iSeries controller on an Internet enabled pager or cell phone. The NEWPORT® iSeries device (meter or controller) connects directly to the Ethernet Network-not to the serial port of a computer functioning as a "server" and "master" to "slave" instruments connected through serial communications. The iSeries devices are also available with RS-232/422/485 and MODBUS serial communications. (Specify the C24 option.) In fact, the iSeries are the first instruments of this type which include all these serial protocols on one device, selectable from a menu.
Internet Appliances
With the EI option, these small 1/8 DIN and 1/16 DIN instruments are stand-alone Web Servers. The Ethernet and Web Server capability is actually embedded in the device. (The smallest 1/32 DIN size device must be connected to an external iSeries server.) The NEWPORT® iSeries device is assigned an IP address on the network and can also be assigned an easily remembered name such as "Heater1". In fact, the device could be assigned an authorized Internet IP address from an Internet Service Provider and function as a World Wide Web Server delivering whatever specific information is called for.

The iSeries devices work well with conventional industrial automation, data acquisition and control programs as well as Microsoft Visual Basic and Excel. NEWPORT® provides free software and demos which makes it fast and easy to get up and running with many applications.

Powerful Features | |
The "iServer" is a DIN rail device which can be a hub connecting up to 32 instruments to the Ethernet and Internet. The "iServer" is both a Web Server and an Ethernet-Serial bridge. To connect to the iServer, iSeries devices must feature the "C24" Serial Communications option. The NEWPORT iServer is also compatible with the NEWPORT INFINITY® family of ultra high performance digital panel meters and the NEWPORT iDRX family of Signal Conditioners. The "iServer" can also connect almost any RS-232 or RS-485 Serial Device to Ethernet. |

The
iServer
is an alternate way to connect iSeries
devices to an Ethernet LAN or Internet. Instead of Connecting each
iSeries device directly to the
Ethernet network, with individual IP Addresses for each device, the
iServer
can be a HUB/Server for up to 32 devices.
