Found this during my morning read.
Modport Modulat Field I/O Controller
They are I/O modules, much like what you would see with a PLC, but there is not logic controller built in - its just an I/O rack.
You could use them with CQC directly as they use the Modbus RTU protocol or you could use them with something like a ClickPLC and expand it to include analog I/O (the Click supports Modbus RTU comms to other Modbus devices like this).
Surprisingly they are cheap as well.
Header module $39
10 SLot board $59
Digital modules <$50
Analog modules < $100
Expandable as well. Not a bad looking option really.
