Linux Box I/O - advance notice

Embedded System with digital and analog IO's

Intelligent IO Ethernet Solution
Among many other application areas, this smart embedded system is mainly used as:

  • Platform for individual solutions,
  • customer-specific implementation
  • Telecontrol device (RTU)
Due to numerous integrated interfaces, many different applications such as converting, recording, alerting, counting, etc. can be accomplished with this system. The IO modules can be populated customer-specifically if required. This provides you with a large scope to develop your own ideas and solutions.

Data Sheet





Platform for individual solutions

(individual programming)

Possible application areas:

  • MDA/PDA (machine data acquisition / production data acquisition)
  • Industrial automation
  • Telemetry
  • Interface conversion
  • Building automation
  • Data/Event logger, etc.

Typical features:

  • Open source operating system
    (Linux 2.4 / 2.6)
  • Robust aluminum casing
  • Extensions (CF card holder) available
  • Costumer-specific IO module assignment
  • Freely programmable
  • Low power consumption ? passive cooling

Telecontrol device

(RTU = Remote Terminal Unit) …

…Used to telecontrol manufacturing machines with digital/analog inputs and outputs.

Typical features:

  • Integrated IPConv software from the company IPCOMM GmbH supports numerous protocols Firma IPCOMM GmbH, supports numerous protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, OPC DA XML, etc.)
  • Many more protocols available
  • Extension modules available
  • User and configuration interface available through the standard browser
  • Good price-performance ratio
  • Integrated USB, RS232, RS485, and LAN interfaces


Interfaces: 3xIO, Ethernet (10/100), 2xUSB, RS232, RS485
In the present-day industrial world flexible and cost-effective implementation has become an issue of increasing demand. The Linux Box I/O offers an excellent price-performance ratio. A wide range of IO modules and implemented telecontrol protocols account for the outstanding versatility of the Linux Box. In addition, the network-compatible LB2 (LAN 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, RJ45 jack) is equipped with two USB 1.1 and two serial (RS232) interfaces, one of which can easily be used as RS485 interface.

IO extension

IO – Extension Box

can be used for IO extension of the Linux Box LB2 or as standalone unit.
This IO measuring or control unit is connected with a USB cord.
  • Number of IO modules selectable (3, 6, or 9 modules)
  • Type of IO modules selectable (digital input, digital output or analog input/output)
  • Combination of IO modules freely selectable
  • No additional power source required ? operation / power input only with provided USB cord
  • Low power consumption

Application areas:
IO extension for LB2, MDA (machine data acquisition), PDA (production data acquisition), measuring, open- and closed-loop control, switching, visualization, alerts, etc.
