RLY-8-POE Relay Controller

Introduction

With ethernet relay, IOT has become so easy. RLY-8-POE-USB is a POE&USB controlled 8 channel relay controller based on STM32. With this module users can be able to do remote control/switching power supply centralized management, the purpose of this product can be directly by net POE power supply switch power supply is connected to the Internet, so you just need to a cable link equipment, suitable for: home decoration, hotel, shopping mall management, Internet cafes, karaoke time, daily office, stores monitoring, networking, industrial control equipment, test equipment, power control, unattended, underground pipes, mining equipment, ships, machine room, street lamp management, intelligent management and centralized management.

RLY-8-POE-USB is an open communication protocol of network relay control products (wide area network operation on the router need to add port mapping) which can use all kinds of network tools to directly establish TCP connection and control.(DFRobot provides you with a set of control tools as a reference.)

This product supports USB function,Plug the USB directly into the computer.The control and parameter setting can be controlled by using binary communication protocol through USB.Of course, you can also use the other controller directly control the RLY-8 through USB.

This product can be achieved through a wide area network or LAN control relay module.So as to realize the remote control electric appliance switch to achieve the purpose of centralized management of power supply.

This product can be used in ordinary power adapter as power supply, but also through the POE as power supply switch to direct power and networking.So you can only need to connect a cable connected to the device, you can achieve power supply and network control functions.
