Pencom


Pencom Design is a manufacturer of computer-controlled relay, I/O and custom boards for commercial and industrial applications. This interface to Pencom’s Relay Control Boards is designed to work over an ethernet to serial adapter (NPort). Each switch (relay) can be turned on/off, and the state of the relay can be read.

Configuration

The Pencom relays can be daisy-chained to allow for up to 8 boards.
