AutomationDirect H2-EBC Photoelectric Sensor Module

AutomationDirect's H2-EBC Ethernet Base Controller acts as a bridge between an H2/DL205 PLC rack and remote I/O, delivering a fast Ethernet link over a 10/100BASE-T network. This module plugs into the CPU slot of a DL205/DL405 I/O base and supports all H2/DL205 discrete and analog I/O modules, enabling data exchange with remote I/O devices. It provides TCP/IP, IPX, and MODBUS TCP/IP communications and is configured via NetEdit3, streamlining setup for Ethernet-based remote I/O topologies. The H2-EBC family is a retired product; AutomationDirect lists H2-EBC100 as the direct replacement. The original H2-EBC was discontinued in 2011; archived documentation notes UL Listing File E185989 and CSA File 234884, with RoHS status shown as No. Although no longer sold new, the H2-EBC continues to appear in manuals and is referenced as part of the Do-more/DirectLogic ecosystem, with H2-EBC100 offering the updated replacement path and continued compatibility for remote I/O scenarios. In practice, this module is intended for Do-more H2/DL205 environments requiring a scalable Ethernet remote I/O link that preserves compatibility with existing I/O modules and NetEdit3-based configuration, making it a straightforward option for building distributed control networks around a central Do-more rack.
