Description

 

The DLP-IOR4 is a low-cost, easy-to-use USB relay module designed for computer control of electrical or electronic equipment. All operational power is taken from the host PC via the USB port. The relays used on the DLP-IOR4 are latching type relays. As such, the state of the relay will not change when power is removed from the module. Installs as a virtual serial port and responds to single ASCII chaaracter commands.

User Manual >>

 

Using The DLP-IOR4

 

Simply connect the DLP-IOR4 to the PC to initiate the loading of drivers. Once the drivers are loaded, the DLP-IOR4 is ready for use. All commands are single-byte commands. Please note that the Ping command is the only command that results in data being returned to the host from the DLP-IOR4.

You can either utilize a simple terminal emulator program or write your own program using your language of choice. Begin by opening the COM port, set the Baud Rate to 9600 (1 start bit, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control), and send single-byte commands as shown in the user manual. The Ping command can be used to locate the correct COM port used for communicating with the DLP-IOR4, or you can look in Device Manager to see which port Windows has assigned to the DLP-IOR4
