PowerAnt
is control from personal computer, using RS232 port, from
14 and more external electrical devices.
Open, Human-Readable protocol, it is fully described in
programmer's manual. Control of electrical equipment
with power supply near 200W. You Wish control the real world from
MS Excel?
PowerAnt type SwSe
SwSe the major type of the PowerAnt.
The main difference of PowerAnt solution from the "standard"
LPT (Printer port) solution - is quantity of input/output lines -
6 input lines (sensors) and 8 output lines (switches).
Also quantity of input/output lines can be easyly extended by
connecting PowerAnts one to other.
Commands set
SwSe device support additional commands:
Get sensors state
Get switches state
Set switches state
Counter control commands set (firmware subversion c)
Change switches state when counte mounts to zero (firmware subversion c)
Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) (firmware subversion adc)
External watchdog counter for control computer (firmware subversion r20)
Executions of PowerAnt switches
Without optocoupler - command from computer arrives, the
voltage between contact electrodes of the switch is 5V (logical 1 level). If the switch
is off - the voltage between contact electrodes of the switch is 0V (logical 0 level).
In both state the current between contact electrodes are not higher than
20mA.
With optocoupler - when the command from computer arrives, the
resistance between contact electrodes of the switch falls practically up to nil.
For these switches You can connect DC 5-60V, current less than 50mA.
In this execution, using jumpers, You can
select power supply: +5V or additional supply from BaseStation. Also
You can select the external power supply.
Optocoupler 100+ - when the command from computer arrives, the
resistance between contact electrodes of the switch falls practically up to nil (26 Om).
This switch can be used to control electrical devices with AC/DC 220V and
current less than 130mA. In this execution, using jumpers, You can
select power supply: +5V or additional supply from BaseStation. Also
You can select the external power supply.
Super optocoupler - when the command from computer arrives, the
resistance between contact electrodes of the switch falls practically up to nil.
This switch can be used to control electrical devices with AC 220V, 200W power
supply (current up to 1A). If You connect device with current greater than 1A,
You destroy only one switch.
You can obtain more detailed information in
DataSheet page.
