Overview 

 
The iPIO-8 is a network attached, IP addressed digital input and output device.  The iPIO-8 can be 
controlled and monitored with a standard web browser.  Multiple iPIO-8 devices can communicate 
amongst themselves to transport I/O information across the network.  Each iPIO-8 has eight controllable 
form C relays, and eight digital inputs. 
 
  
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Each channel of the iPIO-8 is independently configurable, allowing selection of what IP addresses to 
deliver to and on what channel.  Highly flexible telemetry systems can be developed with these simple 
devices.
