Automation and Control Product Matrix

Barix automation and control products consist of two device groups: the BCL programmable Barionet controllers and the Modbus I/O devices. The latter can be used in standard modbus applications or can serve as a modbus extension to a Barionet device. Use the following comparison table to distinguish which device(s) suit your application.
