Relay Timer Software 24+ Channels

Compatible with ProXR & ProXR Lite Boards

Relay Timer Software is compatible with any of the ProXR and ProXR Lite boards.  You can use any interface offered, Relay Timer will communicate with any of the Wired, Wireless or Network interfaces. 

Control Relays Using Computer's Clock

Relay Timer gets it time from the computer's clock so the time will be accurate and will not drift.  If you have another application running on the same computer the time will match exactly, such as a time clock.  The software the high resolution timer that the same timer used in multimedia applications which can get resolution of 5 to 10 milliseconds.  That makes a big difference for real time applications and accuracy.

Control relay in recurrent time sequence

Thanks to protocol of ProXR & ProXR Lite boards it is possible to update 8 relays at one time.  If speed is a requirement it only take about 30 ms to update 8 relays.  In multiple relay applications Relay Timer calculates all relays’ status together, even though each of them work separately.

Take Manual Control

You can take manual control of any relay at any time to interrupt the schedule and control a relay.  Automatically switch back to Auto Mode and resume the schedule manually or set a fixed time to return to the schedule. 

Reliability

As an application that controls hardware, it has to be reliable.  There are many factors effect reliability, the connection could be broken, power failure, the computer could crash.  It is easy to create software that run perfect under perfect conditions.  However, real world conditions is what Relay Timer was developed to handle.  The software has to have a way to handle abnormal conditions and return to normal operation when the problem has been resolved with little effort.  Relay Timer does this!

Power Failure or Connection Loss

If there is a power failure, lost connection or board doesn’t respond, Relay Timer will report the error on the interface and continue to update the status of relays.  Users will know the software cannot communicate with the board and can troubleshoot the issue.  When connection is reestablished Relay Timer updates the relay status both when there is change in status, and at the specific time interval.  The interval is generally set to 2 to 5 seconds, which means, if there is a power failure, or lost connection, the status of relay will be recovered in seconds.  Relay Timer determines where in the schedule it is and what the status of the relay should be bringing you back to normal operation within of seconds.
