Waveshare Modbus PoE 8 Channel Ethernet Relay Module (B) with Digital Input
The 8-channel Ethernet Relay Module with PoE capability is a versatile industrial control device designed for remote switching applications. This module features 8 relay outputs (250V AC/30V DC, 10A) and 8 digital inputs, making it perfect for monitoring and controlling equipment in industrial automation, smart home systems, and IoT projects.
The built-in PoE functionality allows the module to be powered directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply while maintaining network connectivity. For applications without PoE switches, the module also supports traditional DC power input (7-36V).
What sets this relay module apart is its comprehensive communication options and robust protection features. It supports both Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocols, making it compatible with most industrial control systems.
The web server interface allows for easy configuration through any browser, while the RS485 interface enables daisy-chain connections in larger systems. Each relay channel is equipped with isolation and protection circuits to prevent damage from voltage spikes and interference.
The module's status can be monitored through LED indicators, and its compact design with DIN rail mounting makes installation straightforward in control cabinets. This combination of features makes it an ideal solution for students learning industrial automation and shop owners looking to implement remote control systems.
Multiple LED Indicators make it Easy to Monitor the Operating Status
