Wireless 802.15.4 ProXR Lite Enhanced with A/D
Take all the Power of the ProXR Series Relay Controllers
...add a Digi Wireless 802.15.4 Compliant Interface:
Remote Data Collection and Control is Effortless!
It works like this. Plug our Wireless 802.15.4 modem into the USB Port of your computer. The modem will mount as a COM port on your PC. Open the COM port and start sending data to the modem. The modem will forward your data to all Wireless 802.15.4 compliant devices within range (it is also possible to speak to a specific device when other controllers are in range). A ZigBee modem can be purchased with this board at checkout.
ProXR Lite Relay Controller
Our ProXR series controllers have served as the foundation for our relay control architecture since 2004. Since that time, thousands of ProXR controllers have made their way to engineers all over the world. As our customer base has grown, our customers have developed a need for a high-functioning low-cost relay controller suitable for volume manufacturing. The ProXR LITE series controllers are manufactured by machines at high speed and in high volumes. The goal is to offer most of the features of a ProXR relay controller at significant cost savings.
The ProXR Lite series are based on the same designs that offer a 5 year warranty. However, in an effort to further save cost, we have limited the warranty of the ProXR Lite series controllers. ProXR Lite series controllers are guaranteed ONLY against manufacturing and functionality defects for a period of 30 days. Controllers that are damaged by our customers will not be warranted under any circumstances. ProXR Lite series controllers are designed for long life; however, should they be damaged, they should be discarded and replaced.
Unlike the ProXR series relay controllers, ProXR Lite series controllers are NOT expandable. The firmware still thinks 256 relays are available, however, the relay portion of the controller only responds to the first 1, 2, 4 or 8 relays in Bank 1. We did NOT skip the Analog Input portion of the ProXR Lite. All ProXR lite controllers offer a 8-Channel 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Converter in addition to relay control. The ProXR Lite responds to the same firmware as the ProXR series controllers and is therefore 100% compatible with any applications designed to work with a ProXR series controller (

A/D Conversion on the R430PL_802154
Analog to Digital conversion is available on the R430PL_802154 controller.
Analog to Digital Conversion allows you to read voltage levels from 0-5 volts using 8-bit or 10-bit resolution. A/D Inputs are useful for reading, temperature sensors light level sensors, thermocouples, switch closures, or just about any other kind of sensor you can think of. Built-In Pull-Up/Down Resistors keep the inputs quiet. Eight Different A/D Sample programs are available in the
NCD Component Library. These samples are available as a free download and are compatible with Visual Studio. We've got sensors! Visit our
Sensor Page for sensors that have been tested and work with the R430PL_802154 controller.
