The IO-204 Module connects to a local area network using 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet and then establishes an encrypted connection to ioBridge web servers.
The IO-204 has four GPIO channels. Each channel includes a 5 V power line, a ground connection, digital input pin, analog input pin, and a digital output pin. The digital input line is capable of reading voltages of 0 V and 5 V and pulse counting. The analog input is 10-bit resolution for voltages varying between 0 V and 5 V. The digital output line outputs 0 V and 5 V at 20 mA and is capable of sending pulses and serial data.
Each channel supports smart boards11 to add serial communication for microcontrollers such as Arduino or BASIC Stamp, servo control, or X10 outlet and light control.
The module provides 1 KB of on-board logic storage for rules defined by the user. A rule is a set of conditions and actions based on time, input conditions, output conditions, and online/offline status.
The IO-204 requires a regulated 5 V power adapter with a minimum of 1 A and a maximum of 4 A.
ioBridge modules are accessed via an ioBridge.com hosted web interface for configuration, control, and monitoring from a web browser supporting Ajax, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Features of the web service include a drag-and-drop dashboard, data logging, data charting, widget creation, and email alerting.
APIs allow the web services to be extended and integrated into third-party applications12 using a RESTful interface.
