8.8 Benefits of IDEC SmartRelay
IDEC SmartRelay is a particularly useful feature
• For replacing auxiliary switchgear with the integrated
IDEC SmartRelay functions
• For saving wiring and installation work - because IDEC
SmartRelay keeps the wiring "in its head".
• For reducing space requirements for components in the
control cabinet/distribution box. A smaller control cabinet/
distribution box may provide sufficient space.
• For adding or changing functions, without having to install
additional switchgear or change the wiring.
• For offering your customers new, additional functions.
Examples:
- Security systems: IDEC SmartRelay switches on a
lamp at regular intervals or opens and closes the shut-
ters while you are on holiday.
- Central heating: IDEC SmartRelay runs the circulation
pump only when water or heating is actually required.
- Refrigerating systems: IDEC SmartRelay can defrost
refrigerating systems at regular intervals to save ener-
gy costs.
- You can illuminate aquaria and terraria on a time-de-
pendent basis.
Last not least you can:
• Use commonly available switches and pushbuttons,
which makes it easy to install the control system.
• Connect IDEC SmartRelay directly to the control system;
the integrated power supply makes it possible.
There are definitely many more useful applications for the
IDEC SmartRelay. For additional information, see "Sample"
folder in WindLGC V.5 (Please find "Sample Applications" in
start.html).
