Ideal for all kinds of industry standard sensors and transducers. The ED-549 has 8 Analogue Inputs + RS485 Gateway. It is suitable for high-precision measurements of voltages and currents. Most parameters in the real world are measured using sensors with analogue outputs sensors and Brainboxes ED-549 takes these real world signals and turns them into data on your network. As well as the popular 0-10V and 4-20mA input devices, there is now a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) allowing full scale signals as small as ±75mV to be resolved to 12 bit accuracy across 8 analogue inputs. Each channel is individually configurable for voltage or current input with its own programmable gain.

The device installs as a COM Port on a Windows PC to give complete backwards compatibility essential for legacy applications. From other platforms and operating systems the device can be controlled over TCP/IP. Additionally Brainboxes supply a suite of APIs and sample code to communicate with the ED device using Microsoft .NET framework, C++, Java, Javascript, PHP and more. The device and be configured and secured from a web browser.

The ED product range is designed for harsh environments. The digital output port line 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..
