Application Examples

The Wi-Fi 16 Relay Module can control devices wirelessly.

 

Easy access Wi-Fi 16 Relay Module via Internet and control electrical devices from Smartphone, Laptop or Tablet.

 

Wi-Fi 16 Relay Module can be accessed via Virtual Serial (COM) Port

 

Wi-Fi 16 Relay Module can controlled by some of smartDEN Input Module's analog/digital/temperature inputs via Internet/Ethernet (box-to-box mode). Please check out our application note about this mode.

 

 

Denkovi Relay Command Line Tool

 

Supported OS: Windows Linux Raspbian

 

Although this is utility for USB relays, we added and the Wi-Fi relay boards to it in order to provide flexibility and compatibility with currently already developed systems based on our USB 16 Relay Modules.

Here the logic is similar to the USB relay boards control. Instead of ID or serial number, we have IP address:Port. Instead of relay board model, we have wifi16-tcp or wifi16-udp which set the communication method. Everything else is the same.

Example commands:

LIST COMMAND - obviously this command will display only the USB relay boards and not the Wi-Fi boards as they are network devices.

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar list 

 

STATUS COMMAND - display relay(s) status(es).

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp 2 status

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp all status

 

SET COMMAND - set relay(s) state(s).

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp 2 1

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp all 0

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp turn 1110

 

TIMER COMMAND - execute time-critical operations. Well known fact is that every time when we run the command line tool the jvm is being run and this takes significant time. Many users contacted us with requests to execute timer commands for time-critical operations. That's why we added such command. It can perform single pulse, many pulses and even cycles with more complex sequences of pulses and every pulse can be with different time (in milliseconds). Please note the state bits must be equal to the relay number!

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar 10.10.100.254:8899 wifi16-tcp timer 1,1111,10,0000,50,1111,25 //makes all relays ON for 10ms, all OFF for 50ms and all ON for 25ms

Access via software DRMv3

This device is supported by DRMv3 Software.

The device can be found in the device list under the default name: Wi-Fi 16 Relay TCP/UDP

 

 

 

 

Configuration via Web Browser

The built-in web server provides ability for basic configuration of the module, like network settings, TCP/IP and UDP sockets parameters, wireless settings, passwords. Please note the relays can not be controlled via the web server!

 

 

 

Control via Virtual Serial (COM) Port technology

Nowadays there are lot of software applications still using/preferring serial port communications. One key feature of the module is that it supports Virtual Serial (COM) Port controlling of the relays. For example in Windows, controlling of the module is done via Virtual COM Port, shown in device manager, like in the screenshot bellow.
