Computer Controlled Switching from
Anywhere on the Network
An Ethernet Relay Board will Allow Computer Controlled Switching from Any Computer Connected to a 10/100 Ethernet Network. The Ethernet Relay Board Connects to the Ethernet Port of your Local Network Hub, Allowing Computer Controlled Switching from Anywhere on the Network. Current 8 Channel Ethernet Controllers offer Relay Control +
8-Channels 8/10-Bit A/D, or Relay Control +
UXP Expansion Port. All versions include an
XR Expansion Port for adding additional relay banks. Using our
Standardized ProXR Command Set.
Summary of Ethernet Communications
- Ethernet Interface Mounts as a COM Port on your PC Through your LAN

8 Channel Ethernet Relay
Our Eight Channel Ethernet Relays feature a wide range of controllers to fit just about any application!
DPDT and SPDT and Solid State controllers are available with your choice of eight channel 8/10-Bit
Analog to Digital Conversion or
UXP Expansion Port on selected models and all are of course
SignalSwitch compatible. All Eight Channel Ethernet Boards feature the
ProXR Command Set and an
XR Expansion Port. Built from the ground up with expansion in mind, simply chain the
XR Expansion Modules to the XR Expansion port, one after another, to meet your computer controlled switching requirements to add up to 256 relays.

Easy Software Development
Communications and software development is very easy, simply write your software to speak to the RS-232 serial port (COM port of your PC), and install the included RealPort Drivers that allow you to map a COM port to an I.P. address. So you do not have to know anything about Ethernet communications to speak to the device.
Many Communication Protocols for Advanced Users
Advanced users may want to employ other communication protocols to speak the the Ethernet Relay Controller. NCD Ethernet Relay Controllers can also be controlled using Telnet. I.P. Addresses and are automatically or manually assigned. NCD Ethernet Relay Controllers also support security protocols such as Shared Key, WEP, WPA, and Cisco LEAP with support for WEP, TKIP, and CCMP data encryption.
Wi-Fi 802.11b Available
We also carry a complete line of WiFi Boards! A Wi-Fi Relay Board will Allow Computer Controlled Switching from Any Computer Connected to your Network. Wi-Fi devices also supports Telnet and Data Encryption with Password Protection. To view our 8-Channel Wi-Fi Boards please

Onboard analog to digital conversion is available on selected models of these controllers! This will allow you to:
- Read light and temperature levels
- Easily activate relays when A/D limits are reached
- Detect audio levels in a room when connected to a microphone
- Read switches, potentiometers, and analog joysticks
- applications are limitless, and surprisingly easy to integrate
- Available on the 4, 8, and 16 channel boards
|
UXP is a new standardized data port, specifically for the purpose of speaking to various expansion modules. If the controller you are considering is equipped with a UXP port, you can take advantage of extended commands to speak to our growing line of I/O expansion modules. UXP in the part number allows you to:
- Add Contact Closure Inputs
- Add Analog to Digital Inputs
- Add Voltage Detectors
- Digital Potentiometer Outputs
- Available on the 4 and 8 channel boards
|
Models with the ProXR suffix will feature the ProXR commend set. The ProXR series will allow you to:
- Send simple commands to activate relays
- Upgrade without having to re-write your software
- Activate up to 16 relay timers
- Control up to 256 total relays using the XR expansion port
- Full backward/forward compatibility w/the ProXR series command set
- Available on 4, 8, and 16 channel boards
