On-Machine I/O Modules
IP67 Digital I/O Block
BradControl I/O Block for EtherNet/IP packaged in a classic 60mm housing provides a reliable world-class solution for on-machine applications where harsh environments such as water, weld sparks or vibration may be present. The network connection is provied through a buit-in 3 port Ethernet switch using standard threaded M12 connectors or Ultra-Lock™ connection system. The Ultra-Lock™ connection system provides fast, simple and secure connections, reducing wiring costs through quicker setups and ensuring more uptime by eliminating connector-related intermittent signals that lead to production downtime.
Available in 10 different configurations (including I/O user configurable version) the block can connect up to 16 devices to the EtherNet/IP Real-Time Channel. LEDs, scrolling 4-digit display, and web server allow maintenance personnel to easily determine status of I/O, module and network.

Network Interface Cards
Scanner & Adapter Interface Cards
BradCommunications™ PCI/PCI Express Scanner Adapter Card provides high speed deterministic communication between control/scada applications and adapters. The card comes packaged with a complete Windows software suite (configuration console, diagnostic tools, library DLL, OPC server, etc). The configuration console includes advanced features to quickly setup and define the adapter devices connected to the card. A sophisticated network detection mechanism is able to discover and build your network topology based on the integrated EDS device library. The console brings easy-to-use features about scanner and adapter configuration, and includes an advanced online configuration software.
The card is delivered ready-to-use for Windows 32-bits environments. OS driver kits are available free-or-charge for Ardence, VxWorks, Linux, and other platforms.
