The hardware

Relay front side

  • 1-16 - green LED signalized switched relay.
  • white square - sign defines the type of equipment.

Relay back side

  • DATA - not used.
  • USB - +5V DC POWER supply, or upload arduino firmware (needs open jumper JP5).
  • ETHERNET - RJ45 LAN connector.
  • OUTPUTS - 14 relay outputs and GND

Control switch

  • 1-11 - rotary switch.
  • 12-15 - four rock switch with LED.
  • 16 - pushbutton.
  • LINKED - green LED signalized:
    • connect with relay board over IP LAN
    • latency (delay) same as LED OFF time.

How to connect

  1. connect LAN UTP cable direct or via switch (configure connect via internet in a separate chapter)
  2. plug power via usb mini cable to AC adapter, computer or usb HUB

Network setup

Ethernet module can be configured from a win software, which you can download from our website TCP232-T24, or directly from the manufacturer.

Default configuration

This picture shows default settings ethernet module, similar settings will suffice for the local network, or VPN tunnels. Connect ovet the internet with a public IP address remote side, need change other IP settings, is depending on individual networks, public IP address and port redirected. The difference between using NAT and VPN tunel connection shows next picture.

Firmware

  • For beginners Getting Started with Arduino.
  • Before uploade new firmware needed
    • relay - remove top cover, and open jumper JP5
    • control - remove right-bottom cover and open jumper JP6
  • After upload set back opened jumpers.
  • Source code contains several settings that affect the characteristics of IP Switch.
    • #define CONTROL - uncomment activate code for control, comment for relay board.
    • #define controlCFG - uncoment enable reconfigurable network - need set configure array (only control).
    • #define delayC - default value 2000 ms - time, are waiting for answers, after timeout linked led OFF, and resend data.
    • #define delayR - default 10 second - determines the time, after which the relay parking.
    • #define parking - default output 11 - 1-11 parking output after timeout - optimally for grounded antenna.
