TME - Ethernet Thermometer Alarm Unit


TME is a simple temperature sensor with Ethernet interface. It measures temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C. Measured values can be read in several ways including TCP, UDP, HTTP (WEB), e-mail, SOAP, Modbus TCP and SNMP protocols. Thanks to this it is possible to choose a method suitable for particular application.

The temperature is sent in a simple ASCII format directly in degrees Celsius; there is no need of any additional conversion. It also enables communication with SNMP protocol (UDP) or sending an e-mail in case any of the pre-set limits is exceeded.

You can easily embed the temperature from TME to your WEB site using http GET. Measured temperature is also available in XML file or it can be sent as an http POST in XML format for further processing in a WEB service. (All temperature acquisition methods are on page 6.)

TME is configurable via WEB interface. TME is powered from an external PSU 5V (TME) or directly from ethernet network according to IEEE802.3af standard (TME PoE)

Replace your Relay Logic with low-cost mini PLC


The xLogic SuperRelay is a compact and expandable CPU replacing mini PLCs, multiple timers, relays and counters. The xLogic SuperRelay perfectly fits in the space between timing relays and a low-end PLC's. The ELC-18 range is the advanced level model, incorporating a good mix of digital and analogue I/O, clock with calender, counters, timers, LCD, keypad and an expansion port. Easy to configure either using the LCD and keypad or with drag-and-drop functions blocks using the FREE ELCSoft software.

xLogic SuperRelay is a compact and expandable industrial computer ideal for replacing older PLCs, multiple timers, counters and traditional relay logic.

The xLogic SuperRelay is available in 120V/240V AC or 24V DC versions, making it the ideal solution for relay replacement, or simple control applications as building and parking lot lighting, managing automatic lighting, access control, watering systems, pump control, ventilation systems, home automation and a wide field of other applications demanding low cost to be a primary design issue.

Available with a common mix of digital input, digital output, analogue input, PWM output, high speed pulse counting, Real time clock and time switch functions. The ELC-18 range offer a 4-line LCD display and keypad for program modification and display and control whilst the program is running. An expansion port allows the connection of up to 31 expansion modules, extending the I/O channel count and adding Ethernet and SMS text communication capabilities.

Low Cost Ethernet to Serial Converter


The eNET-232 Ethernet to Serial converter is a simple way of connecting any serial device, whether RS232 or RS485 to a Ethernet network. It features a simple setup procedure, ease of operation and automatic network recovery. Supplied with Programming examples and Virtual Serial Port software, to seamlessly add serial ports to your Network. The eNET-232 has a two serial ports, one RS232 and the other can be a RS232/422/485 RS485 port.

A pair of eNET-232's can be set up in Client-Server mode where they will send RS232 data between each other without any PC intervention.
