Brainboxes ED-560 Ethernet to 4 Analogue Outputs + RS485 Gateway

The ED-560 has 4 Analogue Outputs + RS485 Expansion. It is suitable for high-precision control of voltages and currents.

As well as the popular 0-10V and 4-20mA input devices, allowing full scale signals as small as ±75mV to be resolved to 12 bit accuracy across 4 analogue outputs. Each channel is individually configurable for voltage or current output 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. 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..
