BRX Do-More Ethernet Remote I/O Controller Modules

BRX Remote I/O Controllers

BRX Remote I/O Controllers allow up to eight discrete, analog, or temperature I/O expansion modules to be remotely connected per controller. Do-more! Ethernet Remote I/O, Host Ethernet Remote I/O, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols are available.

Six BRX controllers are available.

• All units have built-in Ethernet port, 10/100 Mbps
• Modbus I/O units have onboard RS-485 port with 3-Pin connector
• Support for 8 expansion modules
• 120-240 VAC and 12-24 VDC powered units available
• AC powered units include a 24VDC auxiliary output power supply
• Power connector and serial port connector included

Do-more! I/O Controller (DMIO)

The BRX Do-more! I/O controller provides easy remote expansion for any Do-more! system. Add up to 16 remote I/O racks to your application using the DMIO controller, that's over an additional 4,000 discrete or over 2,000 additional analog I/O points. When using the DMIO controller, all I/O racks will be auto-discovered and seen as native I/O to the system allowing for instant configuration.

Supported protocols:
Do-more! Ethernet Remote I/O - use with any Do-more! controller

Ethernet Base Controller (EBC100)

The BRX Ethernet Base Controller can be used to expand any system using DirectLOGIC H2-ERM100s/H4-ERM100s, any Do-more! system, and can also be used as a Modbus TCP Server. Up to 16 remote EBC100 racks can be used with DirectLOGIC or Do-more! systems and 247 EBC100 racks can be added when using Modbus TCP. That is over an additional 63,000 discrete I/O points! The remote I/O will be seen as native to the system unless using Modbus TCP, then the Modbus Read/Write instructions are required for receiving/sending I/O data.

Supported protocols:
Do-more! Ethernet Remote I/O - use with any Do-more! controller
Host Ethernet Remote I/O - use with H2-ERM100s/H4-ERM100s
Modbus TCP - use with Modbus TCP Client

Modbus I/O Slave Controller (MBIO)

The BRX Modbus I/O slave controller allows any system with a Modbus master/client to expand its I/O capacity. Supporting both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols, this controller provides up to 31 additional Modbus RTU remote I/O racks and 247 additional Modbus TCP remote I/O racks. With the Modbus TCP option, over 63,000 extra discrete I/O points are possible. When using the MBIO slave controller, I/O data is sent to/from the master using Modbus Read/Write commands. The MBIO slave controller is great for remote expansion with other AutomationDirect PLCs or as a low-cost alternative for 3rd party controllers that support Modbus mastering.

Supported protocols:
Modbus RTU - use with Modbus RTU Master
Modbus TCP - use with Modbus TCP Client
