Extron IPL EXP 200 (part number 60-1908-01) — a PoE-powered control system expansion interface that adds serial, IR, relay, and digital I/O ports to any IP Link Pro system over a single Ethernet cable.

Rather than running new control wiring back to the main processor, the EXP 200 drops in near the equipment it needs to control and connects back over the network. It draws its power over Ethernet (802.3af, Class 3), so no local power supply is required, and mounts to a rack, furniture, or pole using the included ZipClip 200 clip.

Key Capabilities

• Powers entirely over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, Class 3) — no local power supply needed
• 2 bidirectional RS-232 serial ports plus 1 programmable IR/serial port
• 4 configurable digital I/O and 2 normally open relays (24 VDC, 1 A)
• Mounts to rack, furniture, or pole with the included ZipClip 200 clip
• Compact quarter-rack plastic enclosure, just 0.45 lbs

Where It Is Used

Installations that need to add control ports near a display or equipment rack far from the main processor use the EXP 200 to extend serial, IR, relay, and digital I/O capability over the existing network instead of running dedicated control cable.
