The IO.XEC is an equipment that captures various kinds of electrical signals, and converts them into a TCP/IP frame. All information can be obtained via HTTP calls, using an documented API.
The basic hardware supports a large variety of signals:
- 8 entries protected by photo-coupler
- 4 relay digital outputs
- 4 digital open collector outputs
- 1 analog input for temperature sensor
- 1 input for temperature sensor and digital relative humidity
- 1 RS232 port
- 1 analog input 0-10V
- 1 analog output 0-10V
- USB port
- 1 expansion port
- 1 input for incremental encoder (A / B)
There are numerous applications that can be given to this equipment. Security systems, Access control, industrial automation, are just some examples.
Standalone mode
There is a huge variety of devices that can be connected simultaneously to IO.XEC. The following diagram shows some examples.
This mode is the basic implementation of IO.XEC. Consist solely of interaction between the user and the hardware through the internal web pages of the equipment. You can get the states of the inputs and control multiple outputs. This mode is geared for simple applications that do not require any kind of automation.
All that is needed is a browser (any modern browser will do), and you can access using a laptop, desktop, or even a smatrphone.
Integrated mode
In this way, interaction with the io.xec is done via HTTP calls. The most important of this feature is the fact of being independent of the platform or programming language used. It is only necessary that TCP/IP connections are supported. For more information we recommend consulting the instruction manual. Thus one obtains easily distributed automation application, wherein each IO.XEC interacts with a more application servers.
