RU-87Pn series is a remote intelligent I/O expansion unit that used to expand I-87K series I/O modules over the RS-485 for industrial monitoring and controlling applications. There are more than 30 I/O modules supported with the unit, including analog input/output, digital input/output, counter/frequency I/O modules.

RU-87Pn is designed to be used in harsh and noisy environment, so the hardware is manufactured with wide power input range (10~30VDC),isolated power and operating temperature (-25℃ ~ +75℃). It simplifies installation and maintenance of I/O modules with hot swap and auto configuration, fault and error detection, dual watchdog, programmable power on and safe values.

Various software development kits (SDK) and demos are provided, such as DLL, ActiveX, Labview driver, Indusoft driver, Linux driver, OPC server, etc. The I-87K series I/O modules plugged in the RU-87Pn can be easily integrated into variant software system.
