Teracom Ltd. has released its TCW241 Ethernet IO module for a variety of Ethernet I/O monitoring and control applications. Supporting i-Wire, SNMP, HTTP API, and Modbus TCP/IP connectivity, the Ethernet IO module targets a range of factory automation and industrial process control applications.
The easy to integrate module offers four digital inputs, four analog inputs, and four relays. Its 1-wire interface supports up to eight 1-wire sensors (with 16 parameters) for measuring temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, AC or DC current, etc.
The Ethernet IO module’s relays, which consist of four high-current devices with normally open and normally closed contacts, can be activated either remotely or locally. Remote activation includes a web interface or M2M protocols. The local activation is possible from a schedule, the status of a single parameter, or by custom-made logical functions, which can include up to four parameters.
For advanced relay scheduling, the module includes a real-time clock for time server synchronization. It can be used for one-time or repetitive (weekly) tasks to turn on and off at set times and days.
The TCW can initiate an HTTP Post connection with either XML or JSON post payloads to remote dedicated servers. The Teracom TCW241 includes a three-year warranty.
