ED-527 - Ethernet to Digital IO (DIO) Module - 8 Digital Outputs + Serial Port

 
 
 

The Brainboxes ED-527 is an Ethernet to Digital IO (DIO) Module featuring 8 x Digital Output channels + an RS485 Serial Port. It is specifically designed for industrial environments such as factory floor control and automation. The ED-527 is capable of controlling any input or output from TTL to high-voltage / high-current industrial devices. The ED product range is designed for harsh environments. The digital output port lines are implemented as protected output circuits, providing current overload and short-circuit protection, voltage surge, overload and open circuit protection and over temperature protection to allow the widest possible usage and range of devices. The outputs are good for driving hot and cold resistive loads, capacitive loads and inductive loads and are especially suited for loads with high inrush currents such as cold bulbs/lamps and motors. Typical applications are control and switching of AC and DC motors, Fans, relay drivers, pumps, Voltage Regulators and Battery Chargers, LEDs and Bulbs, Air Conditioning, Heaters and Solenoids.

Brainboxes' Easy Wire Feature

  • Removable high-quality screw terminal blocks make cable installation easier
  • Colour-coded terminal blocks and ports prevents incorrect connections
  • Numbered Pins simplifies wiring and helps to remove confusion

Wide Range Redundant Dual Power Input

  • Power supply input range: +5VDC to +30VDC
  • Accommodates variation in the +24VDC factory floor and allows alternative power sources.
  • A second power supply can be fitted as a back-up to prevent down time should one power source fail.
  • Can use 5 Volt power from any computer USB port via optional accessory cable PW-650 - Useful for configuring the device from a laptop in the field.

Grounding

  • Correctly wired grounds help cut down on electromagnetic interference
  • 5-pin terminals allow a ground on the 5th pin of each block Functional earth connection to the DIN rail
