Configure a BRX Remote I/O Rack

Do-more BRX Remote I/O racks allow:

Support for up to 8 expansion I/O modules
Add up to 256 I/O points per rack
Total supported I/O up to 63,232 I/O points

DIN-rail and panel mounting
120-240 VAC or 12-24 VDC operation
AC powered units include a 24VDC auxiliary power supply

Choose from three Remote I/O Rack types to get started:

Use Ethernet Based Controller Series racks to expand the I/O capabilities of Do-more systems
AND DirectLogic 205 and 405 systems!

Start with MBIO-Series

Modbus I/O Series Features:

120-240 VAC or 12-24 VDC operation
Onboard RS-485 port with removable connector
Supported protocols: Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP
Use with: Modbus RTU Master / Modbus TCP Client
256 max I/O per rack (up to 8 expansion modules)
(use this config tool multiple times to create additional racks)
Add up to 31 MBIO racks using Modbus RTU
Add up to 247 MBIO racks using Modbus TCP
Max remote I/O count: 63,232 points (when using Modbus TCP)
Starting price:$240.00

Use Modbus I/O Series racks to expand the I/O capabilities of ANY Modbus system!

Notes:

When using the Do-more Ethernet Remote I/O or Host Ethernet Remote I/O protocols the remote I/O will be seen as native to the CPU. Modbus I/O must use RD/WR instructions.
Power budgeting is required for all Remote I/O configurations. This selector tool will keep track of the power budget and alert you if your combination of I/O modules will exceed the power available from the Remote I/O controller.
