BRX expansion modules easily snap onto the side of any BRX Micro PLC Unit (MPU) or BRX Remote I/O controller.

Eight new analog input and combination analog I/O modules are now available. Starting at $194.00, new 16-channel current input (0-20 mA / 4-20 mA) and 16-channel voltage input (+/- 10VDC, +/- 5VDC, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC) modules provide higher density analog I/O.

Space-saving combination analog I/O modules, priced from $254.00, provide 2 or 4-channel current inputs with 2-channel current output, and 2 or 4-channel voltage inputs with 2-channel voltage output.

New temperature I/O modules (from $444.00) combine four Thermocouple or four RTD inputs with the convenience of four 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA current outputs.

Backed by a two-year warranty, BRX PLC hardware is engineered, manufactured and supported in the U.S. by industrial automation veterans. With hardware design and fabrication facilities located in Tennessee and Florida, the BRX PLC platform delivers high quality at a very attractive price.
