Reliable Hongfa relays are used for switching. The relays have silver tin dioxide (AgSnO) contacts, which ensures operation with high inrush currents up to 500 A (1.5 ms).Therefore, the WB-MRPS6/S module is ideal suitable for controlling power distributors and switching high-power UPSs.

To ensure the quality of the relay we tested them with high inrush current several times higher than nominal.

The relay manufacturer claims a service life of at least 12 000 operations.

If the module is installed at a distance from the switchboard and connected to the RS-485 bus, then there is a risk of loss of control from the head unit. In order not to lose control over an important technological process, the module has a safe mode that allows you to switch the relay outputs to a specified state.

For each output, you can configure its own safe state and the need to switch to it in case of loss of communication. In addition, you can enable or disable control from inputs in safe mode, for example, prohibit control from buttons when communication with the device is lost.

The WB-MRPS6/S module has a special mode for working with curtains, which eliminates the simultaneous activation of the direction relay and guarantees a pause between switchings. In the settings, you can set the opening/closing time, pause time when changing direction, as well as actions when turning on the power and entering safe mode.

The outputs are individually configurable, so only part of the outputs can be used to control curtains, and the rest can be used for other purposes. You can also configure the curtain action for each of the 4 types of button presses connected to the module inputs.

All Wiren Board devices, in addition to the standard Modbus RTU, can work with its extension Fast Modbus ⚡, which adds new features:

• instant polling of input states and measured values via events;
• quick search for devices connected to the controller;
• resolving address collisions on the bus.

Additional features are enabled automatically - if the device supports extension, the controller driver will work with the device quickly Modbus if the device does not know anything about the extension - it will work using standard Modbus RTU.

All Wiren Board devices are developed and manufactured in-house. Each device goes through a multi-stage quality control process:

• During development — checking components and testing prototypes under extreme conditions.
• After SMD component installation — automated optical inspection.
• After soldering lead components — visual inspection.
• After assembly — functional testing on an automated test stand.
• Before shipment — verification of completeness, labels, and appearance.

Thanks to this approach, the failure rate is less than 0.5%. Read more in the article About device reliability .

If a device fails within two years from the date of purchase, we will replace it free of charge without the need to send it to a service center.

When used with a Wiren Board controller, you can use the mouse in the web interface:

• enable and disable channels and configure the polling period,
• set the state of the outputs when power is applied,
• configure safe mode settings,
• switch the outputs to the curtain drive control mode.

When used with other equipment, the module can be configured via the RS-485 bus by writing values to Modbus registers. The register table is open, well documented and available online in the device documentation.

If a Wiren Board controller is used, the output states are available in the controller's web interface and can be used in automation scripts or transferred to a higher-level system. The device card displays only the channels enabled in the survey settings.

The module also transmits all data via Modbus RTU (RS-485), which can be read by any equipment or software that supports this protocol: third-party controllers, HMI panels or SCADA.
