Designed for mounting to DIN rail.

Board serve as relay driver depenancy to used open collector/emmiter output chip. This kit worked with ESP32-GATEWAY Ethernet/WiFi module from OLIMEX. Below step by step assembled manual for 16 outputs (two boards), may be expandable.

Hardware

DC power jack

  • ⚠ 5 volt DC only - higher voltage damage both electronics!
  • Size 2,1/5,5mm diameter to connect input power 5V DC (center positive)
  • Consumption below 500mA

P3 output header

pin-1 in DC power supply +5V
pin-2 in DC power supply +5V
pin-3 in GND
pin-4 in GND
pin-5 out output 1
pin-6 out output 2
pin-7 out output 3
pin-8 out output 4
pin-9 out output 5
pin-10 out output 6
pin-11 out output 7

How to assembly

Top side PCB

❏ Solder 2x12 1k rezistors R1-R14

❏ 2x10 100n capacitors C19-C35

❏ 2x8 LED diodes D38-D45

❏ One BCD ID switch P6 on LEFT board

❏ One female pin header P5 on LEFT board

❏ One male pin header P4 on RIGHT board

❏ 2x 74HC595 IO U8

❏ 2x DIP socket for U5

❏ 2x male 2x3 pin header P2

❏ 2x male 2x7 pin header P3

Bottom side PCB

❏ One DC jack J1 on LEFT board

❏ One male 1x20 pin header P1 on LEFT board

Output driver

❏ Put output driver to DIP socket by your preferency

  • ULN chip for switching by output collector (grounding) need use two Jumpers on left P2 pin strip
  • UDN chip for switching by output emitter (voltage from P3 Vin) need use two Jumpers on right P2 pin strip

ESP32-GATEWAY board

❏ One femmale 1x20 pin header CON1 on TOP side OLIMEX ESP32-GATEWAY

LED1 on ESP32-GATEWAY show

  • three times flashes - receive IP from DHCP server - Ethernet
  • two times flashes - receive IP from DHCP server - Wifi
  • one time flashes - receive broadcast pair packet

How to mout to DIN rail

Firmware

UDP packet format

  1. Download and install last version Arduino IDE
  2. Download and install ESP32 support for arduino from GitHub - prefered via board manager.
  3. Download IP switch firmware source from GitHub
  4. Edit source
    1. For use Ethernet (prefered connection) wiring connection preset configuration
      #define ETHERNET               // Enable ESP32 ethernet (DHCP IPv4)
//#define WIFI                  // Enable ESP32 WIFI (DHCP IPv4)
    2. For use WiFi connection use this settings
      //#define ETHERNET               // Enable ESP32 ethernet (DHCP IPv4)
#define WIFI                  // Enable ESP32 WIFI (DHCP IPv4)
      and set your SSID and password for access
      const char* ssid     = "YOUR-SSID";
const char* password = "YOUR-PASSWORD";
  5. Select menu Tools/Board:"OLIMEX ESP32-GATEWAY"
  6. Connect micro USB between ESP32-GATEWAY and PC
  7. Select menu Tools/Port/YOUR-CONNECTED-PORT
  8. Upload firmware

Setup

Setup are available via CLI (command line interface).

How to access

  • connect micro USB cable
  • run terminal - for example Ctrl+Shift+M in Arduino IDE
  • set baudrate to 115200 and No line ending.

CLI contains some commands for set or show information.

Commands for set source device

  • m - Manual IP switch
  • r - Band decoder MK2
  • o - Open Interface III

Other commands, RED is important

  • ? - show status and help
  • w - set inactivity time in minutes, after them IP switch will be restarted (watchdog)
    • before reboot store current output setting and restore after start
    • zero value disable this watchdog
  • W - set inactivity time in minutes, after them IP switch will set all outputs to OFF
    • if you need OFF all outputs after reboot watchdog, set smaller value than it
    • zero value disable this watchdog
  • / - set encoder range (2-g) for switching one from range
  • % - enable/disable group buttons
    • ! - SET group for each button separately
    • : - List group buttons
    • in one group may be activate only one output
    • groups are free configurable
    • the group can be any size 2-8 buttons
    • there may be any buttons in the group, for example 1 and 8
    • the number of groups is not limited
  • * - enable/disable serial debugging
  • + - select get Network ID sufix from eeprom or hardware BCD switch
  • # - set network ID
    • Prefix (four high bit) in hexadecimal format (0-f)
      • in standart mode prefix expanded range of network ID
      • if enable Multi control, prefix disable, and use only on master device for his idetifications
    • Sufix (four low bit) in hexadecimal format (0-f)
      • settings available if sufix get from eeprom
      • in standart mode sufix use for identification
      • in Multi control mode define group ID (id for all shared devices)
  • $ - enable/disable Multi control function (sharing up to 16 master device)
  • & - send broadcast packet for find control devices in local network
  • . - if enable Multi control, show list detected IP switch by ID prefix
  • @ - restart IP switch

For controlled from Manual IP switch

  • Upload firmware by previous steps
  • Set encoder range via CLI with command n
  • Set source via CLI or web interface to m
  • Set network ID prefix same on both devices via CLI in range 0-7
  • Select Network ID sufix same on both devices with BCD switch in range ID 0-7
  • Connect to same local network with DHCP as Manual IP switch
  • After power up both devices, is automaticaly pair

Web status page

  • Show all outputs status
  • Parameter of WiFi or ethrnet IP connect
  • Firmware version
  • Device uptime
  • How source controled his
  • Notice - show this page can extend reaction latency IP switch

How IP addres got the device from the DHCP server?

  • show in serial terminal after reboot, or send ? character
  • or find some network scanner

Telnet access

  • Download and install PuTTY
  • In menu Terminal preset CR/LF and line discipline by picture
  • In main menu Session select or set the following values
    • select Telnet
    • port 23
    • write IP address
    • Sessions may be saved for next time
    • for connect press Open
  • Login confirm with press y
  • Now answer four times the question of what character is on random selected position, in your key
    • you either get the key together with the IP-switch, or paste it into the source code
      const char* key="yWW3aaxjXua4wcoXUjkkOiAwChRwaUakVIfAUmmHV4ylwIXvN6Ucy3oH25T5ZzNYQ2r0L4s42tZIJT9XIgt9VVYxnDWtM7AVN6D8";
    • if you enter wrong three times, login will be blocked for next ten minutes
  • After login your IP address store to EEPROM and next key will be required only if change your IP address
  • for Logout press q

Secure remote manage

Configuration available via serial CLI (command line interface). This interface can be safely accessed to the Internet and encrypted connections to manage all features

  • run command and write down the shown IP address
    ip a
  • you can disconnect HDMI monitor and USB keyboard
  • connect to Raspberry PI from any other PC
  • update system with run command
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
  • install screen fith command 
    sudo apt-get install screen
  • run screen
    screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
  • now after pres any key show status information and you can configure via CLI
  • close screen with CTRL+A K and confirm y
