SeaI/O™ modules provide a powerful way to add I/O to a variety of computers, controllers, and PLCs. Choose from five I/O configurations, each designed for maximum flexibility and easy field wiring. Ordering options allow connection to the host device via Ethernet, USB, RS-485, or RS-232, and multiple units can be daisy chained together using convenient pass-through connectors. For easy software integration, application programs or 3rd party software can use Sealevel’s SeaMAX™ library or industry standard Modbus protocol.

SeaI/O modules are perfect for a wide variety of applications and environments including:

  • Process Control
  • Data Acquisition
  • Broadcast Automation
  • Security
  • Facility Management
