The Br-SDC8 is a complete, stand-alone Serial Output Controller. The Br-SDC8 adds eight multiplexed RS-232 serial ports. It is used whenever you need to control eight devices that need strings of RS-232 serial data. It can be used to with nearly any RS-232 serial controlled devices. The Br-SDC8 can be controlled from Gilderfluke & Co.'s Show Control Systems, PLCs or any other control systems. Just attach some buttons, and you can make your own interactive video kiosk.

The Br-SDC8 can be set to send strings on power up or in response to any of its ten optoisolated inputs. Different actions can be taken on the opening or closing edges of any inputs. The Br-SDC8 can then branch to a different serial string or ‘show’ in response to the string.
