ProXR on the Ethernet Network!!!
Ethernet Network Data Collection and Relay Control Leaps Ahead into Today's Networks!!!
Imagine computer controlled switching and data collection from anywhere on your local area network...or from anywhere in the world!!!
RealPort Virtual COM Port drivers map a Network IP address to a COM port on your network...allowing you to control this device as though it were directly connected to a serial port on your PC. So network control is now as easy as speaking to a COM port on your local computer....except this device works over the network. This device also supports Telnet and Data Encryption with Password Protection. This device includes a Digi Connect ME Ethernet Interface and Embedded Web Server from www.digi.com.
Simply connect this Ethernet Board to the Ethernet Port of your computer or to a networked Ethernet outlet and power up the device. In no time you'll be talking to the board and any attached Expansion Boards.
With no extra Programming you can talk to our Networking Boards via the Internet using
SignalSwitch.com, without a dedicated computer for the board.
About ProXR
If you are new to our products, we would like to introduce to you is a term we call "ProXR". ProXR refers to a set of standardized commands used for computer control and data collection. A controller that supports the ProXR command set is a controller that is built to control up to 256 relays, using commands that can be sent to any controller that offers ProXR compatibility. This allows software developers to create programs for our products, then upgrade or change connectivity options without having to rewrite their software. ProXR commands can be sent to our controllers via the RS-232 serial port, the USB port, Wireless ZigBee, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 802.11b...all without rewriting your software....simply develop your programs to work with the serial port of your computer. Let ProXR controllers manage the rest.
With all the control and backward/forward compatibility you have come to expect from the ProXR series command set, this controller allow you to send simple commands to activate relays, read the status of relays, activate up to 16 relay timers, and control up to 256 total relays using the XR expansion port. All relays are electronically latched, simply send a command to turn the relay on, send a different command to turn the relay off.
A/D Conversion
Analog to Digital Conversion allows you to read voltage levels from 0-5 volts using 8-bit or 10-bit resolution. This is particularly useful for reading temperature sensors (one temperature sensor is built into the board, shared with analog input number 8). A/D Inputs are also useful for reading light level sensors, thermocouples, switch closures, or just about any other kind of sensor you can think of. Built-In Pull-Up/Down Resistors keep the inputs quiet. Eight Different A/D Sample programs are available in the
NCD Component Library. These samples are available as a free download and are compatible with Visual Studio. We've got sensors! Visit our Sensor Page for sensors that have been tested and work with all NCD A/D Boards controller.
