Description
The TCW241 is an Ethernet IO module designed for remote monitoring and control, featuring Modbus TCP/IP support. This device is equipped with four digital inputs, four analogue inputs, and four relays. The TCW241 also include 1-Wire interface, supporting up to eight 1-Wire sensors, enabling the monitoring of parameters such as temperature, humidity, Carbon Dioxide, and AC/DC current. The module’s relays can be activated both remotely via a user-friendly web interface or M2M protocols, and locally based on a schedule, the status of a single parameter, or through custom functions involving up to four parameters.
Furthermore, the TCW241 supports industry-standard protocols including Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP, and HTTP API, ensuring seamless integration with various systems. A built-in real-time clock with time server synchronisation facilitates advanced relay scheduling for one-time or recurring weekly tasks. The module can also proactively communicate with remote servers by initiating HTTP Post requests, sending data in XML or JSON format containing current monitoring values, either periodically or upon predefined alarm conditions.
Features
- Friendly WEB interface for simple configuration and control
- 4 digital “dry contact” inputs for direct monitoring of relay outputs

- 4 high current relays with normally open and normally closed contacts
- Modbus TCP/IP support
- SNMP v2 support with trap alerts to up to 5 recipients
- 4 schedules for real-time control of relay outputs
- Custom made logical functions for flexible activation of relay outputs
- Secured email transfer with TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 support
- XML/JSON and HTTP API commands for client-server systems
- Dynamic DNS support for DynDNS, No-IP and DNS-O-Matic providers
- Network time protocol (NTP) support for time synchronization
- Remote firmware update via standard browser
- Rugged DIN-Rail/wall-mountable enclosure
