A DPDT Relay, Double Pole Double Throw Relay, has a single coil with two arms that move at the same time. There are two completely separate SPDT switch mechanisms inside a DPDT relay. A DPDT relay board is most commonly used for signal switching applications, but can be found in high power switching applications as well.
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 versions 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.
Ethernet DPDT Communications
Ethernet Interface Mounts as a COM Port on your PC Through your LAN
Supports Telnet and Data Encryption with password protection
Embedded Digi Connect Wi-ME Ethernet Interface and Web Server from www.digi.com
Plug in, open the COM port and start sending commands
Control one relay at a time or all relays at once with manual and automatic refreshing command set
Our Ethernet DPDT boards offer your choice of 1, 3 or 5 amp relays and are available in 4, 8 and 16 channel versions with your choice of eight channel 8/10-Bit
Analog to Digital Conversion or
UXP Expansion Port on selected models, look for AD or UXP in the part number. All are of course
SignalSwitch compatible. All Ethernet DPDT Relays feature the
ProXR Command Set and an
XR Expansion Port, simply look for PROXR in the part number. The XR Expansion Port will allow you to expand any ProXR model board to 256 relays using our
XR Expansion Modules. The UXP port will allow you to add Analog to Digital Expansion Modules, Contact Closure Input Modules or Digital Potentiometers to any UXP board. For more on A/D Conversion and UXP Expansion see below.
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
AdAdvanced 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 DPDT Available
We also carry a complete line of DPDT 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 Wi-Fi DPDT Boards please

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:
Ethernet and WiFi users can download the NCD Network Component and talk directly to Ethernet and W-Fi devices through TCP/IP communications. Same great features as the Component Library for network device users allowing you to talk directly to Ethernet or Wi-Fi devices through TCP/IP communications!
