NET16PRMx - 8 channel relay + 8 relay or DIO card + 8 DIO  (240VAC @ 10A)

This low cost, general purpose, Network/LAN/Ethernet connected, opto-isolated relay card, has  8 relays + 8 general purpose DIO channels + 8 channels that can be selected as either relay or DIO channels (via onboard links).  Relays & PCB tracking are designed to handle 240VAC@10A.  Suitable for a wide range of control and mains voltage power switching, or signal switching purposes, it also offers screw terminal access to the power connections for possible onward powering/use in your target system.

This card uses the powerful Lantronix XPort network module.  It has an integral RJ-45 network socket and offers an embedded web server (with simple webpage configuration options), 10/100Mbit Ethernet, full TCP/IP stack protocol, fixed or auto assigned IP address option, and integrated email server which can be user configured to send emails in response to external trigger events (status changes) occurring at the modules GPIO pins.  There are 3 GPIO pins which can be configured to respond to either individual changes or in any combination.  Additional protocols supported are: UDP, DCHP, ARP, ICMP, Telnet and SNMP.  AES Rijndael 128, 192 & 256 bit encryption options are also supported.

All relay contacts are connected to two-part screw terminal blocks along each side of the card.  These allow rapid connect/ disconnect or swap-over in your target system.   5VDC power connection is made via a 2 way screw terminal block or 2.1mm jack socket.  The card is stackable, via corner fixing holes.  Available with a Perspex cover and DIN rail mount option if required.

DIO channels are normal logic level signals (+5V max) and can supply up to 20mA per channel.  Access to all relay contacts and DIO channels is via 2 part (male/female) screw terminal block connectors positioned  along two edges of the card. 

The card has +5V/3.3V & relay/DIO channel LED status indicators.  The card requires an external +5V/1A PSU.  Nylon feet are fitted in each corner which will take self tapping screws.  They can easily be removed to allow the cards to be mounted on pillars or stacked.  There is also a perspex cover available (see below) which offers general protection of the card and prevents accidental contact with any of the relay contacts or screw terminal connections.  In addition, there is a DIN rail mount/cover option available.

Compatible with Windows XP/Vista, Windows 7, MacOSX and Linux platforms.

• Network/LAN/Ethernet connected card, with 8 relays + 8 DIO + 8 Relays or DIO channels (or a mixture, via user selectable links)
• Design incorporates network opto-isolation to 5000Vrms
• Uses industry standard Lantronix XPort module - integral RJ-45 socket for direct Network/ LAN/ Ethernet connection
• Lantronix XPort is a powerful module incorporating embedded/integrated web server, 10/100MBit Ethernet (auto-sensing), customisable HTML web pages, email server - sends emails in response to user configurable GPIO (external digital signal) pin events
• Lantronix XPort module supports full TCP/IP stack protocol, Auto-IP, UDP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, Telnet & SNMP communications protocols
• IP address can be manually assigned via web interface or AutoIP address assigned
• AES Rijndael 128, 192 & 256 bit encryption option supported
• Email alerts can  be sent via user configurable, pre-defined external trigger events - the 3 XPort GPIO/DIO signals are taken to the TB3 screw terminal block
• 8 relays (rated at 240VAC@10A ), 8 general purpose logic level DIO channels (25mA source current each) and 8 user selectable channels
• Can be connected in any combination as either relays or DIO channels via onboard link header connectors (for example 12 relays and 12 DIO channels, or 16 relays and 8 DIO channels etc)
• Compatible with Windows XP/Vista, Windows 7, MacOSX and Linux platforms
• Available with LabVIEW example programs/library files
• Uses same software interface & drivers as used in our existing range of USB and serial port cards - previously developed code can be reused (via appropriate network communications protocol)
• Simple text commands mean the card can be controlled with commands input from terminal emulation programs (such as Windows HyperTerminal)
• IP address and device configuration can be manually setup using the Lantronix Device Installer software application
• This product is shipped with the default 'Auto-IP address assignment' mode enabled.  If you require a specific IP address, pre-programmed into the XPort before we ship your order, please advise us by email when you place your order
• Relays are rated at 240VAC@10A and are SPDT, Form C, changeover type, with N/O, COM and N/C contacts taken to the screw terminal blocks along each side of the card
• See above datasheet link for details/spec for the relay type fitted to this card.
• LED status indicators for power and relay activation/DIO status
• The 8 general purpose DIO channels can be isolated from LED indicators if required (via onboard links)
• Relay contact resistance 100mOhms Max
• Relay Operate 12mS /release time 7mS Max (inc software overhead)
• All relay contacts taken to screw terminal blocks
• DIO channels are normal TTL logic level digital voltages (5VDC max).  Each DIO channel can source 25mA
• 0V & +5V supply voltages are taken to screw terminal blocks for possible onward use in (or powering of) target application
• The NET16PRMx requires external +5V/1A PSU which can be connected via a 2.1mm DC jack socket or 2 part screw terminal block (see image below)
• Supplied with nylon feet (will take self tapping crews).  Corner mounting holes allow cards to be stacked if required
• Clear, protective cover/base, and also DIN rail mountable base & cover options available (see below)
