I've been using STRIDE Field I/O modules from AutomationDirect but they seem to have become unobtanium.

The features that I like about them is they are cheap, they can be configured over ethernet in a web UI, there are modules that can handle 4-20mA or 0-10V analog in, and also modules that can read thermocouples, then translate directly to modbus TCP.
Does anyone out there have a similar sort of module they like to use that is not really expensive?

The closest I've seen to SRIDE Field I/O is this:

The only annoying part looks like you have to configure it over serial, so no web UI.

 

The next level up seems to be Moxa E1200 Series but it costs about twice as much.

 

They're probably about the same price as the Moxa, but you could take a look at Advantech's ADAM I/O modules:

I did have those on my list to evaluate. The other thing I was looking at is the hardware from brainboxes.
I feel like all of this hardware is more complicated and more expensive than it needs to be though.

 

We've been happy with Datexel products; they are reasonably priced, phone support is very quick to respond / helpful, and the products are simple (as they should be).

Also cheap, but built -very rugged- to automotive electronics specifications.
We sell 100s each year, not a single one broke down in the last 15 years......
For Modbus TCP and RTU, also for ProfiBUS & CanOpen.
Many kinds of inputs/outputs to suit your needs.

The DAT8000 series has a WEB UI.
