RMS-100 has 2 power relays for remote control of AC/DC powered equipment.
RMS-100 has two power relays for remote control of AC/DC powered equipment.
Each relay has a manual override button that can toggle the relay; useful for on-site testing.
Each relay also has a jumper shunt connector that allows the relay to be engaged manually for hands free testing.
Control of each relay can be done with a web browser. The picture below shows a portion
of the RMS-100 relays web interface. In the picture below all relays are in the default
"Normally Closed" position. By clicking on the relay 1 icon....
The relay will be toggled to the "Normally Open" position as shown below.
The relays can also be toggled with RMS-100 relay Scripts. Relay scripts are made up of simple
commands that control the relays. Complex relay actions can be performed to control your equipment.
For example; starting a generator.
Below is a screen shot of making a relay script to toggle relay 1 on, wait 2 seconds, then
toggle relay 1 off again.
Each relay can have a name and its actions defined. Below is a screenshot of a relay script that turns a pump on for 30 minutes and then turns it off again.
Control of the RMS-100 relays can also be done by using telnet or ssh. Below is an example of
using the rmsrelay command to toggle relay 1 on and off.
Below is an example of reading the status of Relay 1 using the command line interface.
Note the relay1, and relay2 file will contain a "0" when the relay is in the "Normally Open" position,
and will contain a "1" when in the "Normally Closed" position.
An example of running a relay script on the command line using the rmsscript program.
The example below runs relay Script 1.
PHP programmers may want to write their own programs to control the relays. Below are two
example PHP functions that use the PHP system command to turn relay 1 on and off.
<?php
