Overview

The DC input jack is 2.1mm with positive core polarity, DC supplies are required to supply at least 500mA at 12vdc. The relays are SPCO (Single Pole Change Over) types. The normally open, normally closed and common pins are all available on the screw terminals. The ETH008 is fully compatible with the ETH-RLY16 and includes the legacy ETH-RLY16 command set.

Devantech’s free Android and iOS mobile apps allow users to remotely control these relays. This model offers some additional features than the ETH-RLY16, including a full factory reset option that restores original firmware and settings, fully updatable firmware, new commands for future compatibility, pulsed control of relays from 100ms to 25.5 seconds, and TCP/IP password protection.

LED Indication

The ETH008 provides a red LED mounted immediately next to each relay to indicate whether it is in a powered state (LED on), there is also two LED's mounted in the Ethernet connector which will flash with Ethernet traffic. Finally there is green power LED just above the processor.

Relay Power Rating

If the contact load voltage and current of the relay are in the region enclosed by the solid and dotted lines in the figure below, the relay can perform stable switching operation. If the relay is used at a voltage or current exceeding this region, the life of the contacts may be significantly shortened.

Configuration

By clicking the configuration link it's possible to configure the ETH008 IP address and subnet mask together with the ability to set a password for entry to control screens. The ETH008 now also offers the option to set a password that will be required to change any of the relay states using TCP IP commands, this is explained in the TCP/IP password section.
All settings are saved to memory so be careful to remember the username and password! Default password settings are shown in the picture below.
Version 2 now offers a latched outputs option, this will automatically save any permanent output changes (not pulsed) and restore them following power loss.

Caution

Factory Reset

Should it be necessary to reset the ETH008 to its shipped condition then the end two contacts of PL2 (the row of 5 holes near the large chip) on the side nearest the Ethernet connection must be shorted together at board power up. The green LED should then flash as the settings are reset, please wait until the LED finishes flashing and do not remove power during this period.

ETH008 Command Set

The ETH008 has a new and enhanced command set designed to provide consistent expansion and new features. They are sent over TCP/IP on port 17494 (0x4456). This is the default port, it can be changed in the configuration settings.

Command		Action
dec	hex
16	10	Get Module Info, returns 3 bytes. Module Id (19 for ETH008), Hardware version, Firmware version.
32	20	Digital active- follow with 1-8 to set relay on, then a time for pulsed output from 1-255 (100ms resolution) or 0 for permanent Board will return 0 for success, 1 for failure
33	21	Digital inactive- follow with 1-8 to turn relay off, then a time for pulsed output from 1-255 (100ms resolution) or 0 for permanent Board will return 0 for success, 1 for failure
35	23	Digital set outputs - the next single byte will set all relays states, All on = 255 (11111111) All off = 0 Board will return 0 for success, 1 for failure
36	24	Digital get outputs - send a single byte back to the controller, bit high meaning the corresponding relay is powered
58	3A	ASCII text commands (V4+) - allows a text string to switch outputs, see section below
119	77	Get serial number - Returns the unique 6 byte MAC address of the module.
120	78	Get Volts - returns relay supply voltage as byte, 125 being 12.5V DC
121	79	Password entry - see TCP/IP password
122	7A	Get unlock time - see section below
123	7B	Log out - immediately re-enables TCP/IP password protection

Features

Full Factory Reset, all ETH008 firmware and settings can be reset to the original state.
Firmware updates, firmware in the ETH008 is fully updatable by re-flashing the board with our custom windows program.
New Command Format, the new command format allows for consistent compatibility with future boards.
TCP/IP Password Protection, it is now possible to set a password for TCP/IP protection. This is independent of the configuration password.
Controlled over TCP/IP via Ethernet.
Send commands through your local network or Internet to the board.
Once on the network, commands can be sent to control the relay from within the network or from outside over the Internet.
