Overview
The TCP184 is an Ethernet connected relay module featurs 4 channels of 16Amp 250Vac relays. Each relay has both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) as well as the common available on three terminals, and has snubbers fitted between the Common and N/O contacts.
In addition to the relays the dS378 has 7 flexible I/O channels which may be individually configured to be:
- NPN transistor output
- Active low input with pull-up (allows direct connection of volt free contacts)
- Active low input without pull ups (easy to connect logic level inputs)
- Analogue inputs 12-bit with selectable 0v-4.096v or 0v-5v input range
- High speed (2KHz) counters with or without pull-up resistors
The TCP184 has an AC mains universal input: 90 – 264Vac, 47-63Hz.
Free Android and Phone Apps are available to remotely control this module.
With support for the Modbus protocol this module is easily integrated into many existing industrial control systems.
Customizable firmware
All dScript modules come pre installed with a comprehensive web configuration and control utility, but using the dScript IDE you can develop your own custom firmware, or edit and upload one of the many example projects.
dScript
dScript is is an Editor, Compiler, Programmer and a Multithreaded language for our dScript series of internet connected modules. It compiles to efficient byte codes that are run by the modules on-board runtime.
Although dScript is not BASIC the syntax of dScript will be familiar to anyone who has used Visual Basic or the small Basic chips and modules that are available.
Multithreaded
Multithreading is the ability to run many parts of your program at the same time. It is like having a separate CPU for each part, each running its own little program.
dScript is a native multithreading compiler. Any number of threads may be created, up to the limit of available RAM memory.
Web server
Using the dScript web server you can write and upload your own web pages to the module displaying your own variables in any manner you choose using AJAX to keep the variables live and updated.
Using just a little HTML, CSS, and Javascript you can use buttons on the web page to control things on the module, and apply your own branding to the pages.
You could add a tcp server to respond to incoming tcp requests with your own functions, or even create a tcp client and send packets of to other devices using your own protocol.
With the power of the dScript language at your fingertips you are in control of how your module functions.
