Micro 810

Posted by Simon Banks on

Q: Can you could make a recommendation on a product, or combination of products, that could fit a particular use case for us.
We are wanting to control 2 linear actuators and 2 electronic locking bolts. The linear actuators are a fairly simple 2 wire design with automatic stopping at each extreme, no positioning feedback is available or required. Applying power to the wires with one polarity extends the actuator and the reverse polarity retracts it. This means that each actuator could be driven by using either two SPDT relays or a H-Bridge of some kind. The locking bolts are simple solenoids that can be activated by applying or removing power, so for these a single relay control would work fine.
Ideally, we think we want a minimum of 5A max current for each of these devices.

Would recommend the Micro 810

These smart relays have 4 x 8A outputs (And 8 inputs) can-do basic programming either from the USB Adaptor or LCD Display
