Brainboxes ED-527 Industrial Ethernet to Digital IO Gateway with 16 Digital Outputs
The Brainboxes ED-527 is an industrial-grade Ethernet to Digital IO gateway featuring 16 non-isolated digital output channels and RS485 connectivity. Powered by a robust ARM 80 MHz 32-bit CPU, this device offers comprehensive control solutions for industrial automation and factory floor environments.
Advanced Digital Output Capabilities
Each digital output channel features protected MosFET technology with open drain transistors, capable of handling up to 5.0A per channel at 30 VDC maximum output load voltage. The outputs include built-in protection against short circuits up to 36V and thermal shutdown at 175°C typical (150°C minimum).
Industrial-Grade Connectivity and Control
- RJ45 10/100 MHz autosensing network port with cross-over detection (MDIX)
- Supports ICMP, IP, TCP, DHCP, and HTTP protocols
- 1500V magnetic isolation between ports and network
- Dual redundant power inputs (5V - 30V DC) with reverse polarity protection
- RS485 NuDam/ADAM compatible expansion port
Environmental Specifications
Designed for harsh industrial environments, the ED-527 operates in temperatures from -30°C to +80°C (-22°F to +176°F) and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). The device is both RoHS and WEEE certified, ensuring environmental compliance.
