Features
ZCS (Zero Current Switching)
ZCS (Zero Current Switching) function ensures that the relay contact is closed
at the moment of zero voltage and opened at the moment when zero current
flows through it.
Closing and opening at these exact moments has a number of advantages:
The negative effects of inrush current on the lifetime of the relay in the
NETIO device are significantly reduced.
Reduced probability of a circuit breaker tripping in the circuit branch
where the appliance with a high inrush current is connected.
Significantly improved lifetime of switching supplies in appliances that are connected to the
socket (especially in case of frequent switching on and off).
Significantly reduced electromagnetic interference caused by repeated switching on and off.
Zero current switching (ZCS) significantly improves the lifetime of the NETIO device and the
connected end devices. This function is particularly important in case of frequent switching.
Note: ZCS is only for Output 1 and Output 2 (metered and switched power outputs).
IOC (Independent Output Control)
Independent Output Control function of the NETIO device uses an independent
system that ensures a stable operation of the output even if the main system
is being restarted, updated, or is booting.
Thanks to IOC, the controlled output can power devices that, for technical
reasons, must be powered without interruption (such as servers). The output
control is completely independent from the WiFi or LAN communication
subsystem.
PowerUp State
The PowerUp State parameter (sometimes also called Cold start) defines the
behavior of the 110/230V power output during the first milliseconds to seconds
after powering up the device, before the LAN/WiFi communication with a
master system is established.
For some applications, it is important to set the correct state of a power
output immediately after power is turned on (or restored). With servers in
particular it is important to avoid undesired momentary switching.
