We are glad to introduce a new model NetControl 8CT1RS in a DIN rail housing. The model focuses on monitoring and measuring current and energy in AC circuits. It has 8 current transformer inputs (range 65A at 1000:1), allowing measurement of average current (callculate to effective value for sine wave). The model also has an RS-485 communication port. Two firmwares are available for RS-485 - for interface to PZEM and ASCI electricity meters.

   With the combination of this peripheral, you can accurately take energy readings (PC-485) and monitor for anomalies in the average energy consumption in 8 circuits (current transformer).

  We are glad to introduce firmware v5.48 (beta) in which we offer users the ability to use MQTT over TLS for securing their connection to MQTT broker.

  For more detailed information, please refer to the supplied document.

  In firmware v5.46 we introduce two new features. Fixed a bug in the state of the outputs under the control of Automation, which are reset when changes in the settings "IO Settings" and lose their current state according to Automation rules (now they are reset, but immediately after occupy the corresponding Automation state).

  The first mew function makes it possible to increase the measurement period of the data from the analog inputs (so far it has been fixed at 20ms). Now you can set it in the range 20ms - 2000ms (in steps of 20ms). The main application of slower sampling is in its effect on delaying the response of the MA filter. Its reaction time = measurement time * the number of measurements of the filter. This can be used as a "delay" before starting an Automation unit, so far the maximum delay time has been around 5s, now it can reach 500s.

  The second function concerns the digital inputs (currently only available in NetControl 20A). In the "Automation" menu you have the option to associate a change of digital input status with the launch of a macro. By changing the Invert setting of the input, the direction of the input change can be changed to trigger the macro.
