With eight opto-isolated sensor inputs, six high-power relay outputs, and one simple RS232/485 port, the DS1005 and DS1015 are a great fit for industrial and building automation as well as security, safety, and access control applications.
The DS1005 offers the Ethernet interface only, while the DS1015 features Ethernet, as well as optional Wi-Fi and GPRS.
Unlike many "remote I/O" products, the capabilities of the DS1005 and DS1015 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 device itself.
The DS1005 and DS1015 are 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 devices come 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.
