Our customers have been asking for a Bluetooth relay board and Bluetooth control for several months now. We have been researching Bluetooth options and have finally settled on integrating SENA Bluetooth modules into our product line. They offer excellent communication range, speed, and reliability with minimal integration time. Simply pair our Bluetooth controller with your laptop, PDA, desktop, or other system, and you will be talking to the device as though it were directly connected to the RS-232 port of your computer (supports 115.2K Baud operation). Current versions offer Relay Control +
8-Channels 8/10-Bit A/D, or Relay Control +
UXP Expansion Port. All versions include an
XR Expansion Port for adding additional relay banks. Using our
Standardized ProXR Command Set, it's easy to upgrade to a Bluetooth interface if you are using our other interface options.
This Device Acts like its Directly Connected to the Serial Port of your PC, Laptop, or PDA!!! Wireless Data Collection and Control Could NOT be Easier!!! Bluetooth Powered Relay Controllers Offer Wireless Communications with No Special Software and
NO DRIVERS REQUIRED!!!
Summary of Bluetooth Communications
A Bluetooth Wireless Interface mounts as a Virtual COM Port on your PC, laptop or PDA
Pair with Your Computer, Open the COM Port and Start Sending Commands
Supports 2-way communications at any baud rate up to 115.2K
Fastest wireless technology we offer
ProXR versions expandable to control up to 256 Relays using the XR Expansion Port
Control one relay or all 256 at once with manual or automatic refreshing command set
Our Bluetooth Relays feature a wide range of controllers to fit just about any application!
DPDT and SPDT controllers are available with your choice of eight channel 8/10-Bit
Analog to Digital Conversion or
UXP Expansion Port on selected models and all are of course
SignalSwitch compatible. Select Bluetooth Relays feature the
ProXR Command Set and an
XR Expansion Port. Built from the ground up with expansion in mind, simply chain the
XR Expansion Modules to the XR Expansion port, one after another, to meet your computer controlled switching requirements up to 256 relays.

UXP is a new standardized data port, specifically for the purpose of speaking to various expansion modules. If the controller you are considering is equipped with a UXP port, you can take advantage of extended commands to speak to our growing line of I/O expansion modules. UXP in the part number allows you to:
By downloading the NCD Component Library you will receive over 40 samples from A/D Conversion to Duration and Pulse Timing and best of all it's FREE!! We want the user to be able to experiment with all the different samples available so as of right now the samples cannot be downloaded individually.
We've "Started" the Programming for You
With the NCD Component Library we've "started" the programming for you. We say started because these are fully functioning samples but we've also included the source code so you can customize them to your exact needs. Start by downloading the NCDComponentSetup.zip file from the NCD Component page.
