306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay 

 

 

 

RS-232 protocol 

 

It is possible to control the relay box from a control system or a computer that is equipped with an RS-232 
port. 

 

Communication condition 

The serial port on the device that controls the relay box must match the following: 

Description 

Settings 

Baud rate 

9600 

Data length 

8 bit 

Parity bit 

None 

Stop bit 

1 bit 

Flow control 

None 

 

Commands 

When entering all the commands in the Neets Control Utility software, select “Chr” as input format. 

To easier understand the commands below please keep this in mind. 

 

Please be aware that all the RS-232 commands are case sensitive. If the relay box detects an error in the 
command line, the entire command will be ignored.    

Sending multiple commands is possible without time delay between commands. Just remember that each 
command must end with \CR. 

To do this in the Neets Configurations Utility please look below: 

We want to send two commands: 

Relay=1,Action=Set\CR

 and 

Relay=2,Action=Release\CR 

 

Symbol 

Description 

<X> 

When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a sting or number. 

[     ] 

The braces indicate that what is inside only have to be included in the command the 
function is required. 
In the command, the braces are not included.    

\CR 

Every command line must end with a carriage return. 
Carriage return is commonly referred to as “CR” or if you need to enter it in hex the value 
is 0D and in decimal it is 13.
