CUTE™ 4 Channel Power Controller
The 4 channel Power Controller board provides power switching to 4 separate power outputs. Communication is by RS232 or RS485.
Description
The unit has 4 power outputs for switching 12 to48 VDC loads.
Current consumption on each power output is measured and can thus be displayed on the host system.
The power outputs are fitted with “electronic fuses” where the trip level is set by the user and fuses are re-set from the host system.
The power outputs are also fitted with 2-pole relays for isolating the output in case of electrical leakage in the external circuit connected to the output.
Remote control is possible via RS232 or multi drop RS485 communication.
The unit is configured to act as a slave unit controlled from a master system.
Several units can be controlled over a single RS485 network
