ethernode®
If your Ethernet has to reach outside your office environment - e.g. to an outbuilding with the emergency backup generator or into the cellar with the suction pump - to read switches and sensors or to operate valves or relays a standard PC is inappropriate.
This is where ethernode® comes in: An IP65 surface box with LSA terminals for Ethernet installation cable, spring cage clamps for i/o and remote supply through the Ethernet cable (PoE).
Despite its small size ethernode® contains a real time kernel, a web server with access to local tasks and i/o, e-mail capability, and TCP/IP sockets. The base of ethernode is an ARM-CPU with 2MByte flash and 256K R/1M with buffer-C. Other components are e.g. a real-time clock, a buzzer for audible alerts, a webserver and RS232- and RS485- interfaces. Optional ethernode can delivers with a LCD with 8 function keys and mini control panel.
