Ethernet to IO Device Server:
The Ethernet to IO 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.
Slim Shape:
Small footprint for when DIN rail space is a premium
Only 22.6mm wide
Extended Temperature Range:
-30ºC to +80ºC operating range copes with changing temperatures for harsh environments.
Monitor CPU temperature via the web interface or programmatically using ASCII commands.
Brainboxes’ Easy Wire Feature:
Removable screw terminal blocks make installation easier and quicker
Colour coded blocks and ports prevents incorrect connection
Numbered Pins simplifies wiring and removes confusion

Grounding:
Correctly wired grounds help cut down on electromagnetic interference
5 pin terminals allow a ground on the 5th pin of each block
Functional earth connection to the DIN rail
Gateway RS485 Serial Port:
Half duplex RS485 port allows connection and control of industry standard
NuDAM, eDAM and ADAM modules using ASCII protocols.
Wide Range Redundant Dual Power Input:
+5VDC to +30VDC accommodates variation in the +24VDC factory floor supply
and allows alternative power sources. A second power supply can be fitted as a
back-up to prevent down time should one power source fail.
Power from any USB Port:
Can use 5 Volt power from any computer USB port via optional accessory cable
PW-650 - Useful for configuring the device from a laptop in the field.
Signed Drivers and Rigorous testing:
We use continuous automated testing of our in-house drivers and software to
ensure when you install one of our devices ‘it just works’. 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. We make all our software versions available to download
from our website.
Lifetime Warranty and Support:
We can help with every aspect of your project, from getting you up and running
to custom application.

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
!01ED-549
$01F
!013.50
#010
>+04.987
$0150F
!01
Read the name of the device address 01
Device with address 01 replies that its name is ED-549
Read firmware version number of device address 01
Device with address 01 replies with the firmware version 3.50
Reads the analogue input of channel 0 from device address 01
Analogue input data from the channel specified
Enable channels 0-3 and disable channels 4-7 of the device address 01
Command was successfully sent to device address 01
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.
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.
