FAQ
The Brainboxes ED-538 is an industrial Ethernet to Digital IO Module featuring 8 non-isolated digital inputs and 4 digital Type A Relay Outputs. It's powered by an ARM 80 MHz, 32 Bit CPU and can be controlled via Modbus TCP protocol or ASCII commands over TCP/IP. The device includes web relay control, RS485 gateway functionality, and supports multiple programming interfaces including .NET, Java, PHP, and more. It offers dual power inputs (5V-30V DC), operates in temperatures from 0°C to +80°C, and comes with a lifetime warranty.
The ED-538's relays are Form A (SPST: Single Pole Single Throw) Normally Open type with impressive specifications: 5A @ 30 VDC, 5A @ 250VAC, and 5A @ 110VAC. The maximum output load voltage is 60 VDC with a current sink of 5.0A per channel. The outputs feature protection against current overload, short circuits, voltage surges, and over-temperature conditions, making them ideal for driving resistive loads, capacitive loads, and inductive loads with high inrush currents.
The ED-538 features 8 digital input channels with the following specifications: Logic Level 0 ranges from -30.0V to +1.0V, while Logic Level 1 ranges from +2.0V to +30V. The inputs include programmable latches triggered by user-defined positive or negative edges, and remain active until acknowledged. Additionally, there's a user-programmable input counter that can count positive or negative transitions up to 200Hz.
The ED-538 offers extensive operating system compatibility including Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8 (32/64 bit), Windows 7 (32/64 bit), Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2012/2008, Linux, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS. It's suitable for any device with a web browser, making it highly versatile for various implementation scenarios.
The ED-538 features a single RJ45 jack with 10/100 MHz autosensing and Cross Over Autosensing (MDIX) capabilities. It supports multiple network protocols including ICMP, IP, TCP, DHCP, and HTTP. The device provides 1500V magnetic isolation between ports and network for protection. It can be controlled via Modbus TCP or DCON ASCII protocols over TCP or Virtual COM port.
The ED-538 is designed with multiple safety features including 1500V magnetic isolation for network protection, dual power inputs with reverse polarity protection, and comprehensive output protection against current overload, short circuits, and voltage surges. It's CE certified for EMC compliance, RoHS and WEEE compliant for environmental standards, and comes with a lifetime warranty. The device is built for industrial use with operating temperatures from 0°C to +80°C.
The ED-538 package includes the Ethernet to 4 Relays and 8 Digital Inputs + RS485 Gateway unit, an installation CD containing the manual, Microsoft signed drivers and utilities, and a Quick Start Guide. The device supports dual power supplies (PW-600 and PW-650), though these are sold separately.
The ED-538 features redundant DC dual power inputs that accept 5V to 30V DC, with reverse polarity protection. The maximum input voltage is 35 Volts. Power consumption is relatively low at 100mA@24V with 2.5W max. The device is compatible with two power supply options: the Global Power Supply PW-600 and the PW-650, providing flexibility in power source selection.
