Industrial Ethernet I/O Module
The Brainboxes ED-588 connects eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs to an Ethernet network. It also provides an RS485 gateway port for linking serial field devices. The unit measures 23 mm high, 129 mm wide and 102 mm deep, weighing approximately 138 g. It is manufactured in the United Kingdom and carries RoHS and WEEE certification.
Factory Automation Engineers
This module suits engineers who need to monitor sensors and drive actuators over a standard LAN without a local PC. The logic-level thresholds cover -30 V to +1 V for low and +2 V to +30 V for high, with latched inputs that capture programmable edges. Buyers who require analogue measurement channels or a higher channel count should consider a different I/O solution.
Logic Voltage Range
The decisive specification is the input voltage window of -30.0 V to +30 V with defined thresholds at +1.0 V and +2.0 V. This range determines whether your field signals are compatible without extra conditioning circuitry.

Questions about this item
Do I need a 10-30 V DC power supply to run the ED-588?
Yes, the digital inputs recognise logic-high between 2.0 V and 30 V, so an external 10-30 V DC source is required to drive the eight inputs and eight outputs.
Can the RS485 gateway port on the ED-588 talk to my existing Modbus RTU sensors?
The built-in RS485 gateway port lets the ED-588 bridge Ethernet traffic to serial Modbus RTU devices, so legacy sensors stay on the same bus.
How do I confirm the ED-588 is communicating after I wire it up?
Ping the unit’s IP address, then use the supplied test utility to toggle each of the eight outputs and watch the matching input LEDs change state.
