Introduction
The sBOX8D and sBOX8R are companion products to the JLCooper eBOX and
gBOX GPI Interfaces.
The sBOX8D and sBOX8R connect to the eBOX and gBOX using an
included expansion cable and provides a convenient user interface to
trigger GPI outputs of an eBOX or gBOX.
Each sBOX can manage a bank of 8 GPI outputs at a time. For
flexibility, an sBOX can be configured to be able to bank switch among
groups of 8 GPI outputs. Or, an sBOX can be configured to address a set
bank of 8 GPI outputs.
Multiple sBOXes can be chained together to form larger user interfaces
or to allow for multiple control areas.
The expansion cable that connects the sBOX to either the eBOX or
gBOX carries the data signals and power to the sBOX. No separate
power supply is required for the sBOX.
