Ethernet to DIO Device Server:
The Ethernet to DIO device is implemented using a Windows COM port driver
that is completely compatible with all popular PC packages such as LabView,
MATLAB and Agilent VEE and support a range of popular APIs. Continue to get
value from your existing development and process control system.
Our software allows hassle free installation, configuration and monitoring via our
easy to use webpage. The software gives local COM ports that are backwards
compatible enabling legacy applications and the device to work with a myriad of
different 3rd party software.
Relay:
A relay is an electrically operated switch used to control a circuit by a low-power signal giving
complete electrical isolation between the control and the controlled circuits. Relays are often
used where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.
Familiar ASCII Command Protocol:
The ED range of devices uses the de facto industry standard ASCII command
protocol implemented in the popular ADAM/NuDAM/EDAM modules.
Typical examples include:
$01M
read the name of device address 01
!01ED-588
device 01 replies that its name is ED-588
$01F
read firmware version number of device address 01
!012.54
firmware version of device 01 is 2.54
@01
read digital input output status of device 01
>1A45
device 01 digital input data= 1A (=00011010) digital output data = 45 (=01000101)
$012
read configuration of device 01
!01400500
device 01 40=typecode, 05 =gateway RS485 port is at 4800 Baud, 00=No checksum
The ED device’s webpage has an interactive console where any command can be entered and it is
immediately executed showing the device’s response.
Wide Range Power Input:
+5VDC to +30VDC accommodates variation in the +24VDC factory floor and
allows alternative power sources.
Watchdog feature:
Allows independent known good states to be set for power up, comms link
watchdog and hardware watchdog. Programmable time range allows full
control.
Lifetime Warranty and Support:
We can help with every aspect of your project, from getting you up and running
to custom application.

Software Development
COM Port on Windows
On a PC running the Microsoft Windows family of OS’s the ED Boost.IO Manager provides a standard COM port interface
so enabling thousands of proven legacy applications to work straight out of the box. COM port compatibility allows you to
continue to get value from your existing application software investment. Moreover your engineers
don’t need to retrain to use the Brainboxes ED range of I/O devices.
Industry Standard Packages
The COM port based driver means that ED-xxx devices are completely compatible with all popular packages such as:
LabView, MATLAB, Agilent VEE. You can continue to get value from your existing development and process control system.
Hundreds of thousands program with these packages every day.
Software Platforms
The future is mobile, with data available everywhere on demand; Brainboxes has designed a software suite which
allows you to design your new systems with mobile in mind with most popular platforms and development environments
supported. With APIs and sample program code for: Microsoft .NET, C#, Visual Basic, C++, JavaScript, PHP, Java, Objective-C
Devices Supported
The ED sample codes running on Operating Systems such as Windows XP, Server 2008, Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows
8, and Linux based systems such as Android and Raspberry Pi allow you to run your applications on Servers, Desktops,
Laptops, Tablets, Phones or low cost embedded devices, almost any device you wish.
