Ethernet
Meanwhile Ethernet is cheap enough to make a universal communication medium for the i/o layer as well. Paving your way to the "Internet of Things", we are offering our ethernode® junction boxes as tiny controllers or remote i/o. For your custom controller needs, seat one of our Ethernet-enabled microcontroller modules on a custom base board. A custom base board in your special dimensions and with exactly the connectors and i/o you need, usually is of low density and fairly cheap even in small quantities. And it gets your application know-how to the internet within a few weeks!
