Industrial Ethernet I/O Gateway
The Brainboxes ED-560 connects four analogue outputs and an RS485 serial port to a standard Ethernet network. It allows remote monitoring and control of industrial equipment from any IP-connected host. The compact module measures 23 mm high, 114 mm wide and 99 mm deep. It weighs approximately 124 grams and ships with a quick-start guide and driver CD.
Replaces Hard-Wired Analogue Loops
This gateway removes the need for long multi-core cable runs between a PLC and field devices. The jump is worth it when wiring cost, distance or electromagnetic interference make direct analogue connections impractical. Configuration and signed drivers are supplied on the included installation media for rapid deployment.
Suits Integrators Adding Remote I/O
Engineers expanding legacy RS485 systems or adding analogue control to Ethernet infrastructures will find the ED-560 a direct fit. Buyers who need digital I/O channels, isolated inputs or a higher channel count should look at alternative modules. The lifetime warranty and UK manufacture support long-term installation planning.

Questions about this item
Will the 114 mm by 99 mm footprint fit on my DIN rail?
The unit measures 114 mm wide, 99 mm deep and 23 mm high, so it occupies a compact DIN-rail slot.
How do I assign an IP address during first setup?
Connect the gateway to the network, run the Brainboxes Boost.IO utility from the supplied CD, and the tool will discover the device for static or DHCP configuration.
What ongoing care does the RS485 port require?
No scheduled maintenance is needed; the RS485 interface is solid-state with no moving parts or field-replaceable components.
