AnyWhere Interface Box

DNFControls' AnyWhere Interface Box (AIB) is a compact single-box"missing link" solution that provides eight opto-isolated GPI inputs,eight relay contact closure GPO outputs, one RS422/RS232 serial port and one 10BaseT Ethernet port. Designed for applications in A/V, industrial, radio andtelevision broadcasting market segments, the AIB supports GPI-to-GPO(s),GPI-to-serial, GPI-to-Ethernet and GPI-to-SNMP control; serial-to-GPO,Ethernet-to-GPO and SNMP-to-GPO monitoring; and serial-to-Ethernet andserial-to-SNMP conversions; all of which are user-configurable.

DNF Controls says the AIBmakes it cost-effective for users to address theiR specific needs,whether by establishing interoperability between incompatible systems orextending the functionality of existing systems that would otherwise requirecostly custom programming or interfacing.

The AIBhas a Web browser-based configuration user interface with a series of drop-downmenus and fill-in-the-box entries to map an event input (GPI, serial, Ethernet,SNMP) to one or more action outputs (GPO, serial, Ethernet, SNMP). Theconfiguration is saved in non-volatile storage in the AIB and can be saved toand restored from a PC.

The AIB can be powered bypower over Ethernet (POE) or an optional 12W external power supply. The boxitself measures 8.25 X 4.125 X 1.5 inches.
