The IO12 is a standard I/O device, suitable to interface digital signals to an RS485 bus.
The bus protocol is Modbus/RTU.

Barix Modbus I/O device family is a low-cost, high reliability range of interfaces between Modbus capable hosts and sensors/actors. All products talk Modbus/RTU as the standard protocol, and are configurable via standard Modus read/write commands.

With the Barionet 50 or the Barionet 100, smart ethernet controllers which are fully programmable and can also translate between Modbus/TCP and SNMP, the Barix Modbus I/O devices can be interfaced to about any host system. Standard SNMP or Modbus/TCP OPC servers can directly talk to the Barix I/O device family.

The IO12 features 12 high current sourcing outputs and 12 opto isolated inputs.

Functions and settings can be configured in the IO12 via the Modbus/RTU interface using standard register writes. As the IO12 is software upgradeable, new functions can be uploaded in the unit even after installation in the field.

Please contact Barix if you need a special interface for any type of I/O to Modbus or Modbus/TCP. With our extensive experience in the Modbus protocol and interfacing market, we will be pleased to offer you a custom solution.
