Ethernet ProXR Lite Enhanced with A/D

ZETH-ME uses Digi Stock Digi Connect ME firmware.
Providing a low-cost network communications solution to NCD Devices.
We have just taken Network Communications a Huge Step Forward!

For several years now, NCD has been the Only maker of a powerful Ethernet Relay Controller, but now it's time for a New Generation of Controllers. We have just taken Network Communications a Huge Step Forward by Offering a Low-Cost and a High-Power Network Communication Solution.

Two Ethernet Modules Available

	ZETH-ME Includes Extensive Network Configuration Options Supports Virtual COM Port over Ethernet	Web-i Supports Multiple Communication Methods Simultaneously Web Browser Interface Direct Internet Access

Ethernet Network Module

Introducing ZETH; the Ethernet Network communications Module from National Control Devices. Designed to plug into NCD Surface Mount devices, two powerful Ethernet network communication options bring you device connectivity from anywhere in the world. Our first generation of Ethernet relay controllers was based on the Digi Connect ME Ethernet communications module. This is a great low-cost solution that has empowered our users since 2005. The Digi Connect ME firmware allows you to login to the device and setup powerful network communication options. Though it does not offer a web browser interface for relay/device control, it does offer many powerful connectivity options for advanced networks at a very low cost. ZETH-ME supports Virtual COM Port Ethernet Communications, Direct TCP/IP communications, or direct communication to SignalSwitch.com. ZETH-ME is only capable of handling only one of these communication options at a time, but can easily be reconfigured if you prefer to change how you communicate.

ProXR Lite Is Here!

A more streamlined manufacturing process brings a more durable, reliable and better relay board to the market. Here's a list of great features:

User Friendly Board Design

Surface mount allows for a smaller board
Break-A-Way Tabs lets you decide the board's size
Interchangeable interfaces allows you to upgrade or change your interface at any time

ProXR Lite Features

Works with the full ProXR Command Set
8-Channel 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Converter
Highly reliable relay with industry leading command set

ProXR Lite Limitations

This controller cannot be expanded

ProXR Lite Relay Controller

The ProXR Lite Series is a great alternative for those looking for a low cost solution that requires the power and reliability of a ProXR Controller. With a wide selection in Relay type and Communication Interface there is a ProXR Lite board to match your application. Every ProXR Lite Board has Breakaway Tabs that give you the option to make the board smaller or fit it for an enclosure. Interchangeable Interface Modules allow you to switch communication interfaces by simply powering down the device and replacing the module.

The ProXR Lite series are based on the same designs that offer a 5 year warranty. However, in an effort to further save cost, we have limited the warranty of the ProXR Lite series controllers. ProXR Lite series controllers are guaranteed ONLY against manufacturing and functionality defects for a period of 30 days. Controllers that are damaged by our customers will not be warranted under any circumstances. ProXR Lite series controllers are designed for long life; however, should they be damaged, they should be discarded and replaced.

Unlike the ProXR series relay controllers, ProXR Lite series controllers are NOT expandable. The firmware still thinks 256 relays are available, however, the relay portion of the controller only responds to the first 1, 2, 4 or 8 relays in Bank 1. We did NOT skip the Analog Input portion of the ProXR Lite. All ProXR Lite controllers offer a 8-Channel 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Converter in addition to relay control. The ProXR Lite responds to the same firmware as the ProXR series controllers and is therefore 100% compatible with any applications designed to work with a ProXR series controller (click here to see the ProXR command set).

A/D Conversion on the R230PL_ZETH-ME

Analog to Digital conversion is available on the R230PL_ZETH-ME controller. Analog to Digital Conversion allows you to read voltage levels from 0-5 volts using 8-bit or 10-bit resolution. A/D Inputs are useful for reading, temperature sensors 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 the R230PL_ZETH-ME controller.

Product Variation: Web-i with Web-Browser Interface

NCD Currently offers 2 variations of the Ethernet Modules. The Web-i with Web-Browser interface is also available.

Web-i is our own breed of Ethernet communications. Web-i is an Open-Source project that offers a powerful web-browser interface for direct control of relays from a web-page served directly to users from the Web-i module, without the need for a server. Web-i is accessible from anywhere on your local area network. If you have a static IP address, Web-i is accessible from anywhere in the world. In addition to a web browser relay control interface, Web-i devices also allow you to control the device from your own software through direct TCP/IP communications while still hosting a web browser interface. Write software that directly accesses the controller or access the control from your web browser. Web-i also supports a simultaneous connection to SignalSwitch.com, allowing you to control the Web-i from our server, your program, or your web browser...all at the same time. Use the chart below to compare features of the ZETH-ME and ZETH-NET Ethernet Modules.
