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?

Power suppy of PowerAnt
From base station
Voltage: +5В.
Maximum current for SwSw: 85mA.
Maximum current for SwSe: 55mA.
Maximum current for SeSe: 20mA.
Additional power suply for PowerAnt
From base station, optional
Separate for each switches group (ABCD, EFGH, IJK, LMN).
Voltage: max +60V.
Maximum current: 0,5A.
Sensors
Principle of operation: closure / breaking of contacts
KLMN sensors may be used as ADC (Analog To Digital convertor),
if PowerAnt has adc version of firmware. ADC Conversion
can detect from 0 to 5V by 0-1023 steps.
High speed reversive counter (firmware version c)
Maximum counter value: 255 (0xFF)
Siensivity: 80E-6 sec.
Decrement on front and rear of sensor signal
Change some switches state when counter arrives value 0
Support sensors: I, J, K ,L, M, N.
Watchdog counter for PC (firmware version r20, SwSe)
Change some switches state when counter arrives value 0, and computer till this time do not send any command to PowerAnt
Maximum counter value: 255 (0xFF), from 39,5sec to ~10072sec
Switch in/off time: 2,5-3 sec.
Support switches: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H.
