AR-8MF485 Multi-Function Relay Interface
- Connects to RS-485 (distance up to 4,000 feet)
- The CO-485USB Converter connects to USB and provides a full duplex RS-485 port for the AR-8MF485
- May be set to control 8 relays, monitor 8 inputs or combinations
- Expandable to control up to 136 relays, monitor 136 inputs (or combinations of relays and inputs) using EXM-8, EXM-16 or EXM-32 Relay I/O Expansion Modules
- Dual I/O function (optional) allows inputs with control of relays
- Inputs may be used to monitor contact status or monitor AC or DC voltages 3.3 volts to 18 volts (other voltage ranges available)
- Optically isolated inputs are bidirectional and may be used with a positive common, a negative common or AC signals
- Multi-Function capability allows connection of a variety of I/O devices
- Over 100 types of relays, solid state relays and contactors may be connected (ranging from a half amp up to 100 amp)
- Large variety of relay cards may be connected - RD-8, RD-8M, RG-8, RH-8, RI-8, RJ-8, RN-8, RN-8M, RYD-8,
specialty cards and others
- Optically isolated inputs and relay outputs that protect your RS-485 port/computer and allow relays, keypads and other devices to be located up to several miles from the AR-8MF485
- Controllable over network (local, Wi-Fi or Internet) - network software included
- Includes Event Notification software for your Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop or Desktop PC
- Use the SW-A Load Programmer software for 7 day time control of relays
- LabVIEW compatible - includes LabVIEW VI, graphic software example and DLL library
- Compatible with Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP
- No complicated communication protocol - just one line of code is required to control all relays (or read all inputs) to greatly simplify software development. The RS-485 connection and all initialization is completely automated.
- Source code examples included in Microsoft Visual Basic .Net, Microsoft Visual C#, C++, Python, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft ASP .Net and others
- Full technical support provided by on staff advisors
- Includes CD (or optional USB Flash Drive) with software examples, user interface, driver, technical reference, Android Apps and more. Requires RS-485 cable and PS-5VDC-1000 power adapter
