Simply connect the Mini Relay-Bee to any
free USB port to give immediate access to 7 sets of SPDT (changeover)
relay outputs plus an additional 7 DC switches.
The relay outputs are rated at 250vAC/110vDC Maximum Voltage and 6A
Maximum current. All three contacts for each relay are accessible via
screw terminals and there are on-board LED's to indicate the on/off status
of each relay.
Supplied with the Mini Relay-BEE is BeeStep14 control
software. This is a full editing suite for creating your own switch
sequencer programs. Simply enter your pattern of On/Offs and the
duration of each step for up to 10,000 steps followed by RUN to
watch your connected devices respond according to your programmed
sequence. No computer programming knowledge is required.
Mini Relay-BEE is designed to be simple to use
even for the complete beginner with full instructions on how to connect
devices and create your switch sequences. A standard USB lead (not
included) is needed to connect the Mini Relay-BEE to your computer .
For the more advanced user who wants to write his own programs for
the Mini RelayBee a DLL is provided, greatly simplifying the process. This
DLL allows user programs written in a wide range of languages (eg C, C++ ,
Visual Basic etc...), to have easy access to it's facilities. This gives
the programmer simple to use functions like InitMbee() and
SetOutputs(outputs) rather than having to address the tricky USB comms
protocols. The application software and DLL for the Mini Relay Bee are
identical to that used in the MiniBee. This means that for current users
of the MiniBee their programs are code compatible with the Mini relay bee,
offering an easy upgrade path for those requiring greater power handling
capability and/or isolation. For more information on writing visual basic
programs for Mini Relay-Bee see the programming page for the MiniBee which

WARNING: The Mini
Relay-Bee adaptor board is fitted with relays that are capable of
switching high voltages and high currents. Use of the Mini Relay-Bee in
any intended application needs careful design paying particular attention
to the safety aspects including a suitable enclosure. i.e. if used for
high voltages, it should not be used simply as supplied. No provisions
have been made to safeguard the potentially dangerous exposed relay
terminals on the board or the board tracks connecting them. If you intend
to switch high voltages or currents in your application then you need to
address this issue. If you have any doubts about how to use the board
safely then you should consult a qualified electrician. |
