Hardware installation
The Relay - 8 is designed to be mounted in a rack or as a stand-alone unit on a desk, drawer or alike.
Make sure there is at least 40 mm of free space above the unit as air circulation around the unit is needed for reliable performance. If installed in a closed environment forced air circulation may be needed.
Mounting the unit in a 19" rack
The Relay - 8 can easily be installed in a 19" rack.
Due to the standard 1U height, low weight and small mounting depth the Relay - 8 can be mounted from the rack front without the use of a rack shelf or supporting rails.

RS-232/IR ports
The onboard RS-232 ports (T1, R1, T2, R2) can be used for one- or two-way communication. Both of the RS-232/IR ports can be used as either as RS-232 or as IR emitter.
On the front of the Relay - 8 you will find 2 led for each RS232/IR port. When the Relay - 8 is sending data on a RS232/IR port it's green tx led will light. When the Relay - 8 is receiving RS232 data the orange rx led will light.
 |  |  |
| When used as RS-232 transmit port: Connect the device to T1, R1 and GND, as shown here above. | When used as single IR port: Connect the IR emitter to T1 (white striped wire) and GND, as shown above. | When used as dual IR port: Connect the IR 1 emitter to T1 (white striped wire) and black wire on IR 1 emitter to IR 2 emitter (white striped wire), and black wire from IR 2 emitter to GND, as shown above. |
Digital I/O
The Relay - 8 has 8 × I/O (Inputs/Outputs) available. They can be used for an external control keypad, PIR (movement) sensor, keyboard lock, extra relays, or other compatible uses. The ports are not potential free; you may need external relays if you need to prevent ground loops.
When used as outputs, the ports are active low. When indicated as active, the pins are tied to GND through a FET transistor (also called open drain/collector function). Each can draw up to 24VDC/500mA.
For each output pin there is a led on the front of the Relay - 8. The led are on when the output pin is activated (The output pin is connected to GND)
When used as inputs the voltage has to be below 1 Volt DC to be accepted as LOW, and above 4 VDC (but below 24 VDC) to be accepted as HIGH. The inputs are default HIGH and must be connected to ground in order to change state.
For each input there is a led on the front of the Relay - 8. The led indicates the current state of the input. When the led lights orange it indicate that the input is high, when the light is off the input is low.
LAN
The network connector integrates the system into the local area network.
There are two LEDs on the connector with the following indication:
| Color | Off | On | Blink |
| Yellow | No Link | Link | Activity |
| Green | 10Mbit | 100Mbit |
Front panel USB
The USB port (labeled "config" on the front) can only be used to firmware upgrade the Relay - 8 through a Windows/MAC/Linux computer. See the section How to upgrade the Firmware on page 11 for details.
You are not able to configure or control the Relay - 8 through this port. Do not connect any other devices to this port. The USB connector for connecting to the Relay - 8 is type "mini USB B 5P".
You can buy this cable on the web (buy a USB A to Mini USB B 5P).
How to connect...
Connecting the Relay - 8 to the control system.
Using I/O pins
If you want to control one or more relays from a digital output, like any of the Neets Control system range provides, you can do this. By default the Relay - 8 is configured to link the I/O pins to the relays. This means that you can connect the I/O of the Neets Control system directly the Relay - 8.
Not using a Neets Control system to control the Relay - 8 ? Our I/O can interface with all system that can pull the Input low. To test this simply make a short circuit between the I/O pin and GND to active the relay.
If the Relay - 8 has been used before it is recommended to reset the Relay - 8 to make sure that no settings that prevents this operation are saved in the unit (See section page 13).
Using RS232
When controlling the Relay - 8 by RS232 you have to connect the RS232 port from the control system to the Relay - 8 RS232 port 1 (T1,R1 and G).
The command that has to be sent can be found in the section on page 14.
Remember, controlling Relay - 8 by both RS232 and LAN is not possible at the same time.
Using LAN
Controlling the Relay - 8 can also be done over LAN. This is done by creating a TCP connection from the control system to the control port (Default 5000).
The protocol that is used to control the Relay - 8 over LAN is the same as used when controlling it by RS232. See the section on page 14. When connecting to the Relay - 8 control port, the RS232 control on RS232 port one is disabled.
Controlling an electrical screen or lift
The Relay - 8 offers you the possibility to control up to four electrical screen and lift directly by 240VAC. When controlling electrical screen and lift we always recommend that you use two relays. One relay for screen up and one relay for screen down (In a configuration called: mutual blocking). Here you can see how to connect your screen to the Relay - 8.

When making the above configuration you add an extra safety level to your installation. The mutual blocking prevent that power can be connected to both up and down at the same time.
How you control this configuration depends on the way you connect it to you control system. In the previous three sections, you can find information on the three types of control you have.
How to control Switching Relay - 8 through USB
After Project Designer 1.6.4 it is possible to control and configure the Switching Relay - 8 through USB the same way you do today with RS232.
When connecting the Switching Relay - 8 to your computer it will be installed as a RS232 port on your system (The Windows driver is already included in the Project Designer software). Choose your favorite hyperterminal program or simply open the device driver in the Device Editor and use it to send the commands.
How to upgrade the Firmware
In case you need to update the firmware on Neets Switching Relay - 8. Please follow these four simple steps below.
- Install Neets Project designer 1.6.4 or higher
- Connect the unit to your computer
- Say "Yes" to upgrade the unit
- The firmware is now completed
After a firmware upgrade all saved settings will be lost and have to be saved again.
How to connect several relay boxes to a RS-232 Line (daisy chaining)
By default, a RS232 line only allows you to be connected to a single receiver. But with the Relay - 8 you can control multiple units with just a single RS232.
So how do we do this?: Each Relay - 8 can be assigned a id number (Default 1) that allows you to define what unit a command should be handled by.
If the Relay - 8 device a command on Tx1 that has a id number different from itself, it will re-transmit the command on Tx2.(This function is called RS232 loop-through)
So adding a second Relay - 8 on the first Relay - 8 Tx 2 will allow you to control this. This is called daisy chaining the units.
Remember to assign different ID number to each of the Relay - 8 you are using in this constellation. See page 12 for details on how to change the id. Using the same ID number on multiple units will result in only one Relay - 8 will react to the command and not all with same id number.
Neets Switching Relay 8
Change the ID number of the relay box
When controlling the Relay - 8 by the External protocol by ether RS232 or LAN the unit has a ID number that must be used in the command that are send to it. By default the Relay - 8 has address 1. The address can either be changed by RS232, LAN or the test button on the front of the unit.
To change address of the Relay - 8, see the command UNITID in the protocol list. Changing the address of the Relay - 8 on the front of the unit is done like this:
- Connect power to the unit.
- Within 5 sec, press one of the test button and hold it until its LED lights up.
When the Relay - 8 is powered up, it shows it's current address on the relay status LED. LED 1 = address 1, LED 2 = address 2 .... (While the unit address is displayed the power on LED is blue.)
If no LED is on, that indicates that the unit has an address that is not in the range 1-8. The address can be given any address using the UNITID command on ether RS232 or LAN.
You can at any time press and hold the relay 1 and 8 test button in for 5 sec. The unit will reboot and assume the factory settings.
It is also possible to reset the Relay - 8 using the command RESET. See the protocol list for details.
After resetting the system, it has these settings:
- I/O is set to inputs and controls the relays (I/O 1 ->relay 1, I/O 2 ->relay 2).
• RS232 port 1: 19200 8N1, ready for loop-through.
• RS232 port 2: 19200 8N1.
• IP Address: 192.168.254.252.
• LAN control port: TCP, port 5000.
• LAN to RS232 port 1: TCP, port 5011.
• LAN to RS232 port 2: TCP, port 5012. - Neets LanBus: Multicast address: 224.10.10.25, port 7979.
Error indication
If there is an error in the system, it will be displayed on the front of the Relay - 8. On error the power led will flash red.
| input/outputinoutThe above led is flashing. | Unexpected Error Turn off the power to the control system for 20 sec before turning the power on again.If the error is not resolved, contact Neets or your local distributor. |
RS-232 and LAN protocol
Controlling the Relay – 8 over RS232 or LAN is done with the same protocol. If you are using a Neets Control system there is a Device Driver available which provides you with all the commands below. Open the Device driver in the Neets Device Editor and use the “play” function on each command gives you an easy way of setting up and configuring the Relay – 8 from your computer.
Communications parameter
Default RS232 settings:
Baudrate: 19.200
Databit: 8
Stopbit: 1
Parity: None
Default LAN settings:
Network Protocol: TCP
Control port: 5000 (Only one active connection at a time)
LAN to RS232 port 1 gateway port: 5010 (Only one active connection at a time)
LAN to RS232 port 2 gateway port: 5011 (Only one active connection at a time)
Control from the RS232 port is enabled by default. When connecting to a LAN control port the RS232 ports converts to LAN-RS232 gateways and they can not be used to control the Relay - 8. The only way to get back to RS232 control is by cycling power.
Saving the settings. When adjusting the settings of the Relay - 8, it is important to save the settings that you want the Relay - 8 to use after the next power cycling. This is done with the save command. You can find more information regarding the save on page 15.
Command
When entering all the commands in the Neets Device Editor software, select "Chr/ASCII" as input format. To understand the commands below please keep this in mind:
| Symbol: Description: | |
| < A > When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a sting or number. | |
| < B > When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a sting or number. | |
| \CR Every command line must end with a carriage return.Carriage return is commonly referred to as “CR” or if you need to enter it in hex, the value is OD and in decimal, it is 13. | |
| “,” or , When making a command it consist of several parts.Each part is separated with a comma.E.g. NEUNIT=1,RELAY=1,ACTION=SET,TIME=10.5 | |
Please be aware that all the RS232 commands are case sensitive. If the Relay - 8 detects an error in the command line, the entire command will be ignored.
Sending multiple commands is possible without time delay between commands. Just remember that each command must end with CR.
If you are looking for a complete list of commands already made, look at the premade device driver found in the Neets device driver library.
Example
Below you will find a few command that can control the Relay - 8. The below command are just a few examples to show you how the interface are working. For more details on the command go the next sections.
Examples of command than can be send on ether RS232 or LAN.
e.g: NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=SET\CR
Reply: NEUNIT=1,OK\CR
e.g: NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=? \CR
Reply: NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=RELEASE\CR
Global functions
In the global functions you find all the functions that allows you to adjust the basic functions of the Relay - 8. Normally the functions are used while setting up the system. If you wish to use these settings after a power cycle of the Relay - 8 please remember to use the save command.
Below is the settings for the global functions, for all commands it is mandatory that the start of the sequence look like this: NEUNIT=,
Where as default is 1. All commands must be started with a “,” and all lines must end with a \CR
| Description: SyntaxDefault | R/W | |||
| Save the current settings as the default startup values. | SAVE=TRUE W | |||
| Restore factory defaults values for the entire system. | FACTORYDEFAULT=TRUE W | |||
| Set all the values to their default (last saved).This is done by re-booting the unit. | RESET=TRUE W | |||
| Get/set unit IDYou can set the unit id number either at the front of the unit using its relay test buttons. See general manual for the unit for more details. The ID that can be assigned on the front are: 1, 2, 3 ....8By RS232 or LAN you can define any id that you want as long as they are no longer that 9 ascii characters.e.g.:NEUNIT=1, UNITID=Neets1\CRNEUNIT=1, UNITID=RoomA\CR | UNITID=Up to 9 | character long. | 1 R/W | |

Relay control
When controlling the relays you can do simple things like "Set", "Release" and "Toggle" the relays. You can also do more advanced things, like delaying the execution of the command and setting the time that the "Set" function should apply.
Below is the possible settings of relays. For all commands, the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, RELAY=
| Description: SyntaxDefaultR/W | |||
| Control the relay ACTION=SET, RELAEESEor TOGGLERELEASE R/W | |||
| Delay before execution of action (Start delay) | DELAY=0-6500.0 0 W | ||
| Time (chances the action from latch to momentary in this time) | TIME=0-6500.0 0 W |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=SET, TIME=10.5\CR<- This command sets relay 1 in 10.5 seconds.
To get the current status of a relay use this command:
NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=?\CR
Reply:
NEUNIT=1, RELAY=1, ACTION=RELEASE\CR
Screen control settings
The screen control offers you an easy and safe way to control electrical screens and lifts using 2 relays or I/O. When combining 2 relays in screen mode, you define the screen up and down time once. After this you simply send command indicating the direction the screen should move.
The Screen mode ensures that the 2 relays or I/O in no way can be activated at the same time.
Below are the settings for the screen control, for all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, SETTINGS=SCREEN, SCREEN=.
| Description: SyntaxDefaultR/W | ||||
| Select the screen that should be configured | SCREEN= | R/W | W | |
| 1 IO 1 and 2 | ||||
| 2 IO 3 and 4 | ||||
| 3 IO 5 and 6 | ||||
| 4 IO 7 and 8 | ||||
| 5 Relay 1 and 2 | ||||
| 6 Relay 3 and 4 | ||||
| 7 Relay 5 and 6 | ||||
| 8 Relay 7 and 8 | ||||
| Enable or disable the screen mode | ENABLED=TRUE or FLASE FALSE R/W | |||
| Delay time, pause time between the two outputs can be activated | BLOCKTIME=0-6500.0 second O R/W | |||
| Up time, The time it takes the screen to move from bottom to top of the screen. | UPTIME=0-6500.0 second O R/W | |||
| Down time, The time it takes the screen to move from top to bottom of the screen. | DOWNTIME=0-6500.0 second O R/W | |||
Example:
NEUNIT=1, SETTINGS=SCREEN, SCREEN=2, ENABLED=TRUE\CR<-Combine IO 3 and 4 on screen mode.
Example:
NEUNIT=1, SETTINGS=SCREEN, SCREEN=2, UPTIME=35, DOWNTIME=30, BLOCKTIME=1.5\CR
<-Set screen 2 to a uptime of 35 sec, a down time to 30 sec and a block time to 1.5 sec.
Screen control
Below are the possible settings of screen control, For all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, SCREEN=
| Description: Syntax | R/W | ||
| Control the Screen | ACTION=<A> | UP, DOWN, STOP | R/W |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1,SCREEN=2,ACTION=UP\CR<- This command makes screen 2 go up in the time defined by the command "UPTIME" found in the "Screen control settings" section.
Input/output settings
Below is the settings for the I/O, for all commands are the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, SETTINGS=IO, IO=
| Description: SyntaxDefaultR/W | |||
| Set the I/O to input or output FUNCTION=INPUT or OUTPUT INPUT R/W | |||
| Set to use PUSH or PULL mode for status change on input. This is a global setting that applies for all IO.In PULL mode you have to request the status of all input you want to know the state of like this;NEUNIT=1,SET-TINGS=IO,MESSAGE=PUSH\CRIn PUSH mode the Relay - 8 will send a message to you when there is a change on one of the inputs.E.g. NEUNIT=1,IO=1,STA-TUS=HIGH\CR | MESSAGE=PUSH or PULL PULL R/W | ||
| Link input to relay activationInput 1 is linked to relay 1Input 2 is linked to relay 2...Input 8 is linked to relay 8When a relay is linked to an input this will apply until they are either unlinked or a command that control either the relay or the input are received. | LINK=TRUE or FALSE TRUE R/W | ||
Example:
NEUNIT=1, SETTINGS=IO, IO=2, FUNCTION=INPUT\CR <- This set output 2 to input
Output control
Below is the possible control of I/O, for all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=,IO=
| Description: SyntaxR/W | |||
| Control the output ACTION=SET, RELEASE or TOGGLE | R/W | ||
| Delay before executed of action(Start delay) | DELAY=0-6500 | 0 second W | |
| Time (chances the action from latch to momentary in this time) | TIME=0-6500.0 | second W | |
| Read the inputreply example:NEUNIT=1,IO=1,STATUS=HIGH\CR | STATUS=? HIGH, LOW | R |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1,IO=2,ACTION=SET,TIME=10.5\CR<- This command sets IO 2 in 10.5 seconds
RS-232 settings
Below are the settings for the RS232. For all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, SETTINGS=RS232, RS232=
| Description: Syntax | Default | R/W | ||
| Set the comport baud rate | BAUDRATE= | 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 | 19200 | R/W |
| Set the comport data bit | DATABIT= | 7, 8 | 8 | R/W |
| Set the comport parity | PARITY= | NONE, ODD or EVEN | NONE | R/W |
| Set the comport stop bit | STOPBIT= | 1 or 2 | 1 | R/W |
| Set the comport TCP Portnumber (if used as LAN gateway) | IPPORT= | 0-65555 | 1:50112:5012 | R/W |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1, SETTINGS=RS232, RS232=1, BAUDRATE=19200, DATABIT=7\CR
RS-232 command
Below are the settings for the COM port. For all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=,RS232=
| Description: SyntaxDefaultR/W | |||
| Data container.Each byte must be converted to a 2 byte ASCII value.Fx: “Neets” becomes “4E65657473” | DATA=Up to 500 byte of date | R/W |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1,RS232=2,DATA=4E65657473\CR send "Neets" on RS232 port 2
IR command (Advanced users)
On the Tx 1 and 2 it is also possible to send IR codes. Sending IR codes is only possible when controlling the unit over LAN.
Before you start working with sending IR commands it is important to understand that this part of the system are intended for advance users and requires a high level of IR code knowledge. The format of the IR code that are used are a common used format. This allows you to easily find IR codes from other sources than Neets, e.g. www.remotecentral.com
If you want to control things like volume on a device you should remember to retransmit the IR command as long as you want the volume to change. (Remember to wait for the acknowledgement of sending IR command before sending the next)
Below are the settings for the IR. For all commands the mandatory start sequence look like this: NEUNIT=, IR=
| Description: SyntaxFormat R/W | |||
| Data container.The data are in RAW IR code format. Can be copied directly from Neets Device Editor. | DATA=Up to 500 byte of date | xxxx yyyy .... zzzz R/W |
Example of use:
NEUNIT=1,IR=2,DATA=0000 006D 0022 0002 0155 00AB 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0040 0016 003F 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0E9 0156 0055 0016 OE3F\CR <-Sending a IR command on the Tx 2 port.
