Rugged and reliable
Ethernet I/O modules
are ready for your
most challenging
monitoring & control
applications.
EtherStax I/O Blocks
EtherStax I/O blocks provide a rugged,
high-density solution to interface many
analog or discrete signals to your control
system. Modbus TCP/UDP/IP support
enables reliable host data transfer or
peer-to-peer communication. Web-based
configuration simplifies setup with any
web browser. For OEM systems requiring
special mounting, enclosureless versions
are available. EtherStax are ideal for a
broad range of monitoring and control
or SCADA applications.
Rugged, Industrial-Grade Design
EtherStax are designed for high-reliability
operation in hostile environments. Units
are shock/vibration-resistant and feature
3-way isolation with surge protection.
I/O circuitry has over-temperature, over-
voltage, and over-current protection.
Redundant Power & Communication
Self-healing, redundant communication
paths support dual copper or fiber-optic
media. Dual DC power connections
for battery backup ensure dependable
operation. If host communication is lost,
outputs fail safely and a relay provides
local alarming or shutdown functions.
Stackable, High-Density I/O
Get up to 96 channels on a single unit
to monitor sensors, control devices, or
add local alarms. Aluminum enclosures
interlock for secure stacking that saves
space mounting on a surface or rail.
i2o peer-to-peer communication
Input channels on one unit can write
directly to outputs on another unit
without a host controller in between.
