USB24MxS (fitted with 24 x 120/240VAC@10A relays)

USB24MxS (fitted with Perspex cover & base)

USB24MxS (fitted with Perspex cover & DIN rail mount base)

Low cost, general purpose, USB powered 24 channel relay card.  Can be commanded via simple ASCII character commands - example programs available for download in several programming languages.  PC, MAC & Linux compatible.  Free shipping (Worldwide). 

Choice of two relay types, either 120/240VAC, 10Amp power (USB24MxP) or 30VDC, 1Amp high sensitivity (gold contact) signal relays (USB24MxS).  Suitable for a wide range of control/mains voltage power switching, or signal switching purposes, the PCB tracking is designed to handle 240VAC @ 10amps.

Access to all relay contacts via two part (male/female) side entry, screw terminal blocks mounted  along each edge of the card.  The cards are designed to be stacked, with the side entry connectors allowing for rapid assembly & dismantling.  .  Power & channel status indicators are visible along one end of the card.

Supplied with nylon feet in each corner which will take self tapping screws or allow the card to be sat on a surface.

The card can be powered from the USB port, (maximum of 8 relays activated at any one time) or the relays can be isolated from the USB +5V (via a jumper link) and the relays powered from an external +5V supply, in which case all relays can be activated.

A perspex cover/base is available which offers general protection of the card and prevents accidental contact with any of the pcb connections or screw terminal connections.  In addition, there is a DIN rail mount/cover option available.

Compatible with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista, Windows 7, Windows CE, Mac OSX and Linux platforms.

Available with LabVIEW, LabWindowsCVI, VB, VC, C#, Java, VEE, & Delphi examples available (click on the 'downloads' button below).

• Low cost, USB powered module -  USB1.1 or 2 compatible (Type B USB connector)
• Simple ASCII text character command - the card can be controlled with commands input from terminal emulation programs (such as Windows HyperTerminal)
• When connected, the card appears as a via 'virtual' COM port device (serial/RS232) on your system
• Compatible with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista, Windows 7, Windows CE, Mac OSX and Linux platforms
• Available with LabVIEW, Visual Basic, LabWindowsCVI, Visual C, C#, Java, Agilent VEE and Delphi 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
• Two relay options available, either 10A/240V power, or 1A/30V signal relays.  PCB tracking will handle 10 Amps.  Above datasheet link gives full details/spec for the relay types available for this card.
• Relays are SPDT, Form C, changeover type, with N/O, COM and N/C contacts taken to 2 part, side entry screw terminal blocks, mounted along both sides of the card.  Relay Operate 12mS /release time 7mS Max (inc software overhead)
• LED status indicators for USB connection/power and relay activation status
• USB 0V & +5V supply voltages are taken to screw terminal blocks for possible onward use in (or powering of) target application
• Removable link gives the option of powering the relays from either the USB port or an external 5V PSU (connects via an edge mounted screw terminal block).  External 5V PSU is recommended if more than 8 relays are likely to be activated simultaneously.
• Supplied with nylon feet (will take self tapping screws).  Corner mounting holes allow cards to be stacked if required
• Clear, protective cover/base, and also DIN rail mountable base & cover options available
• CЄ & RoHS compliant, BS9001:2000 manufacture
• Free shipping (Worldwide)
