8-Channel Digital I/O Expansion Box
VK258
- An Ethernet-to-digital I/O box ships with 8 channels of digital input / output
- Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or DC power supply
- Supports Telnet CLI (command-line interface) mode for third-party system integration
- An expansion solution for connecting more digital I/O devices to ATEN Control System
The VK258 provides Ethernet-to-digital I/O connectivity with 8 channels of digital input/output. It allows users to remotely access digital input / output devices from a PC or any system located anywhere. The complete Telnet CLI commands are fully integrated into users’ commercial and industrial applications.
What’s more, the VK258 serves as a flexible expansion box of the ATEN Control System, enabling users to control more digital I/O devices, such as various sensors, dry contact devices, PCs, and motor-driven devices in environments where more devices need to be centrally controlled. With the advantage of Ethernet-based connection, the expansion box can be easily connected to controllers via LAN connection from a variety of locations across a network.
