Control over Internet modules?

Feb 15, 2008 8 Replies

Hello. Can anyone advise please?



I need to read 8 outputs and control 8 inputs on an appliance remotely over the Internet. Can anyone recommend an off-the-shelf module with a fixed IP address that will allow me to do this? Preferably a UK supplier but will consider anywhere else.



Thanks for any help. Simon

Thanks Stephen. I'll give the site a look over the weekend. Regards, Simon

Sorry, nobody will be able to do that. Is that a trick question?

Makes perfect sense to me. He's writing from the perspective of the device that is being controlled, not of the interface module. It may be different to the perspective usually used on this group but it certainly isn't wrong.

may do what you want. it only has 9 gpio's however; you would need some sort of external mux.

The VM-1 controller and ethernet module plugged into an "application board 3" will do this. You can choose fixed IP address or DHCP. If you need hundreds and/or minimal size we can custom design resulting in lower unit cost. TCP,UDP, and HTTP are all supported. Programming is dead easy.

PPP via a serial line and modem or GPRS terminal is also a possibility: you don't say much about your expected physical internet connection.
