With eight opto-isolated sensor inputs, six high-power relay outputs, and one simple RS232/485 port, the DS1005 is a great fit for industrial and building automation as well as security, safety, and access control applications.
Unlike many "remote I/O" products, the DS1005's capabilities are not limited to just relaying I/O data to a central server. Programmability in Tibbo BASIC means you can create systems where intelligent decisions are taken in real-time by the DS1005 itself.
The DS1005 is especially suitable for access control applications: Four of the eight sensor inputs can be used to handle up to two card readers (two inputs per reader), which leaves four sensor inputs for connecting to a door switch, exit button, etc.
The DS1005 comes preloaded with an open-source application for remote control/monitoring of the device's inputs and relays through a web-browser or Tibbo's AggreGate device management system. This application can easily be customized for any functionality desired.
