What is an iBox Kit?, continued
Operation and
Maintenance
The iBox Kit can be configured to operate over a LAN or through a serial
connection.
If you configure the iBox Kit to operate over a LAN, you can maintain the iBox
configuration over the LAN or directly through the WESMAINT port. If you operate
the iBox Kit through a serial connection, you can only maintain the iBox
configuration through the WESMAINT port.
Inputs/
Outputs
The iBox Kit provides the following:
• Eight digital inputs
• Four control outputs
• Eight DC analog inputs (optional)
• Three PT (120/208 V) and three CT (5 A) AC analog inputs (optional)
Digital Inputs
The iBox Kit provides the following digital inputs, directly from the iBox:
• Eight optically isolated status inputs, 25
VDC or 125
VDC, with 10% overload
