PROBLEM: Creating Flexible Data Acquisition & Control Networks
SOLUTION: Sealevel’s SeaI/O Modules
Create flexible, remote I/O installations anywhere on your network with Ethernet and Wireless data acquisition modules,
or choose I/O modules that connect directly to the host using USB, RS-485 or RS-232 interfaces. Applications include:
I/O OPTIONS
- Optically Isolated Inputs, Reed Relay Outputs
- Form C Relay Outputs, Open-Collector Outputs
- TTL Interfaces, Analog A/D & D/A
- Dry Contact Inputs
CONNECTIVITY
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- USB
- RS-485
- RS-232
FEATURES
- Supports Industry Standard Modbus TCP & RTU Protocols
- Status Indicator LEDs for Communication, Fault, and Status
- Field Removable Terminal Block Connectors (most models)
- Daisy Chain up to 247 Modules
- 9-30VDC Power Input
- Power Input via Terminal Block or DC Jack
- Rugged Metal Enclosure
- Din Rail or Table Mount
- Extended Temperature Range Available (-40°C to +85°C)
- Powerful software configuration & diagnostic tools
- Address selectable via software or switch
- Selectable RS-485 line conditioning
SeaI/O modules provide powerful digital, analog, and serial expansion to any computer. Connect to the host via wireless, Ethernet, USB, RS-485, or RS-232 to add the functionality required for your particular application.
Multiple units can be daisy chained using convenient pass-through connectors to create a versatile distributed control and monitoring network. For ease of installation, multiple modules can be combined in a local stack or separated up to 4000 feet using the RS-485 Modbus RTU expansion interface. Choose from a variety of I/O configurations, each designed for maximum flexibility and easy field wiring. For quick software implementation, application programs or third-party software can use Sealevel’s SeaMAX libraries or industry-standard Modbus protocol.

Turn any computer into a powerful data acquisition system with SeaI/O RS-232 modules
SeaI/O expands traditional RS-232 point to point communications to allow control of up to 247 modules from a single serial port. [learn more]
I/O OPTIONS
Choose your host connection and I/O configuration, then add expansion modules as needed. Use the SeaI/O architecture’s daisy chaining ability to create a control network optimized for your requirements:
Mod+ Connect 2.0 iOS App
- Monitor, test and troubleshoot Sealevel I/O devices
- Works with iPhone or iPad
- View and change device settings
- Control the I/O banks of the connected module
The Sealevel Mod+ Connect 2.0 app is an easy-to-use diagnostic utility. It is compatible with iPhone 6 or greater devices running iOS 8 or later, with an active Wi-Fi connection.
The app is intended for use with Sealevel’s SeaI/O Ethernet and wireless I/O modules, as well as eI/O Ethernet and PoE compact I/O modules.
