ET-2254P is a 16-channel universal DIO module. Eeach channel can be set as a digital input or output, while each DO can drive a 350 mA load. The module includes a built-in 2-port Ethernet switch, facilitating a daisy-chain topology. This feature offers flexibility in device configuration, simplifies installation, and reduces infrastructure costs. Additionally, the module provides EMS (EFT/ESD/Surge) protection and 3000 VDC I/O isolation to enhance noise protection capabilities in industrial environments. It also offers configurable DO power-on value and safe value settings.

Moreover, the module supports I/O Pair-Connection functionality, allowing the establishment of DI-to-DO pairing connections with the remote module via Ethernet. Once configured, local DI data can be written to remote DO channels in Push mode via Modbus TCP. Alternatively, pull remote DI to local DO.

ET-2254P supports the MQTT protocol, serving as a publisher and subscriber of messages. When connected to an MQTT Broker Server, it can publish real-time statuses of I/O in the form of topics and receive messages from subscribed topics. If a disconnection occurs between the module and the broker during communication, its mechanism for reconnecting can automatically restore the connection. Additionally, its Keep-Alive Interval mechanism ensures a continuous connection with the broker.

ET-2254P supports the SNMP V2c specification, enabling it to transmit both module and I/O information to SNMP network management devices or software (SNMP Network Management Software). This allows administrators to monitor module status in real-time. Additionally, if the Trap function is enabled, the module can proactively send messages to administrators when there are changes in I/O statuses or during restarts, keeping them informed of channel statuses at all times.
