WLAN switch
A WLAN switch is a universal switch controlled via a wireless WLAN connection.
A WLAN switch is a universal switch controlled via a wireless WLAN connection.
When building smart home systems, industrial automation, research, or for hobbyist purposes, it can be difficult or impossible to run control cables to actuators. Remote automation can be accomplished with a universal wireless switch, which uses radio as the communication channel.
Using the 802.11 b/g/n standard, which is common in WLAN devices, allows you to integrate a WLAN switch into existing local and wireless networks using WLAN routers. Launching a wireless switch simply involves connecting power and configuring a WLAN connection to the control device or your facility's wireless network.
The WLAN switch is based on the popular miniature ESP-07E WLAN module and combines an open architecture, ease of use, and the ability to program the module's firmware yourself.
Our company offers a complete, out-of-the-box solution. The WLAN switch includes a miniature WLAN module with an external antenna, a power stabilizer, and galvanically isolated control keys based on an opto-relay.
Key features:
- Remote control of external DC circuits with voltages up to 100 V and currents up to 300 mA.
- Connection of up to 12 actuator circuits.
- Multiple load control methods: closing a normally open switch pair, outputting power voltage relative to the switch case, or closing the switch contacts to the switch case.
- Use of multiple WLAN switches in a single system/network.
- Updating the WLAN module firmware via the built-in USB-COM converter.
- Operation over a wide supply voltage range from 8 V to 20 V DC and from 12 V to 20 V AC.
- User-friendly web interface for WLAN switch management.
- The switch board is covered with several layers of protective transparent plastic (applied during production) to protect against moisture, corrosion, etc.
Applications:
- Home automation systems (smart home, lighting control, gate opening/closing, and other actuators).
- Industrial automation systems.
- Remote control of antenna switches, matching devices, direction switching in phased array antenna systems, Beverage antennas, etc.
