Remote I/O Modules for Ethernet Control Networks
EtherStax units have an Ethernet interface that supports Modbus TCP/UDP/IP for reliable host data transfer or peer-to-peer communication. Web-based configuration simplifies setup with any web browser. For OEM systems, or those that require specialized housings, an open-board version without the enclosure is available. EtherStax are ideal for a broad range of measurement and control or SCADA applications.
Rugged, Industrial-Grade Design
EtherStax are designed for high-reliability operation. Units feature 3-way isolation and surge protection. The I/O circuitry has over-temperature, over-voltage, and over-current protection. Redundant communication paths and DC power ensure dependable operation. If network communication is lost, outputs fail safely and a relay provides local alarming or shutdown functions.
Stackable, High-Density I/O
A variety of models offer up to 96 channels on a single unit. Monitor sensors, control devices, or add local alarms. The units interlock for secure stacking that consumes little space when mounted on a surface or DIN rail.
i2o Peer-to-Peer Communication
Input channels on one unit can write directly to output channels on another unit without a host controller in between.
