Features
The IR-712A (with 2 CA-IR-SH2251 & 1 CA-0910) is a universal IR (infrared) learning remote module which can learn IR remote commands of diverse electronic devices. The learning commands can be stored in the module or saved to a file. The IR-712A supplies 2 IR output channels for individual or simultaneous control on multiple devices. The accompanied RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces with Modbus/RTU protocol provide flexible expansion and control on the modules. The software utility provides users with easy configuration, learning, test and storage of IR commands. Minimzing the amount of IR remote controls and utilizing this module that can be easily integrated with Modbus master devices (e.g. PAC and PLC), the IR-712A further simplifies smart home and building automation for you.
