About
The REL2002 is a mechanical relay suitable for both AC and DC applications. It is a double-pole double-throw style relay meaning it will switch two circuits at once. You interact with the REL2002 through the Digital Output Channel Class to turn power to your circuit or device on and off .
Explore Your Phidget Channels Using The Control Panel
Double click on the Digital Output channel class under the port your REL2002 is connected to.
Part 3: Create your Program
Part 4: Advanced Topics and Troubleshooting
Before you open a Phidget channel in your program, you can set these properties to specify which channel to open. You can find this information through the Control Panel.
1. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the red map pin icon:
2. The Addressing Information window will open. Here you will find all the information you need to address your Phidget in your program.
See the Phidget22 API for your language to determine exact syntax for each property.
This relay is an electrically-controlled switch. For more information about how mechanical relays work and how to use them, visit the Mechanical Relay Guide.
Unlike most VINT devices that communicate to the VINT Hub by sending packets on the data line, the REL2002 is simply controlled with the port in digital output mode. This means that you can control it with other digital output devices. For example, you can control it with a Phidget 1018 like this:
Here's a simplified diagram to clarify how the REL2002 works:
The red wire requires 5V to power the relay coil, and the white wire requires at least 3.3V to switch the MOSFET.
