Bridgetek has extended the scope of possibilities met by its PanL home automation connectivity platform - with release of the PanL Relay. The goal of this latest unit is to deliver higher functionality to installed systems, leading to increased levels of comfort. The system serves as a means to produce smart switching abilities, through one of the system’s PanL HMI touch displays. Thanks to inclusion of the devices in their home automation implementation, users can activate or deactivate domestic appliances (including washing machines, dishwashers, toasters, microwave ovens, rice cookers, kettles, etc.) and other electrical items.
Enclosed within compact, low-profile enclosures (measuring 145.7mm x 96.7mm x 29.50mm), the devices are full of sophisticated electronic technology. Each one provides a high-performance, 100MHz-rated, 32-bit FT903 RISC MCU. Also, there are four standard electro-mechanical relays for conventional control demands, plus another four solid-state relays which are ideal for controlling higher power electrical products. All of these relays have their own corresponding status indicators so users can see what is being controlled.
The units can be powered off a 16V to 24V DC supply. They connect straight into the Bridgetek PanL Hub, which sits at the centre of the home automation system, via its RS485 interfaces. For large-scale implementations where more capacity is needed, it is possible to daisy chain multiple units together.
