Product Data Sheet: BASIC I/O Series of Remote I/O Controllers


Basic I/O Photo An ethernet or  300 - 38,400 baud RS-422 or RS-485 serial link connects a host computer to the BASIC I/O series. duTec's command set is a superset of the Optomux standard, which is supported by most Third Party MMI and SCADA software packages as well as duTec's Easy I/O. This means that the series can operate on the same network as other compatible hardware and use the same software.

No jumpers are required to set baud rates or communications addresses - these are selected by a push button or from the host via the serial communications link. Baud rates and addresses are indicated by an on board display which also show any diagnostic test failures.

Features
Low Per Point Cost LCFs for StandAlone Control Many Third Party Software Packages
Use Analog & Digital I/O
