Control over Internet modules?
Posted by PigPOg on February 15th, 2008


Hello. Can anyone advise please?

I need to read 8 outputs and control 8 inputs on an appliance remotely
over the Internet. Can anyone recommend an off-the-shelf module with a
fixed IP address that will allow me to do this? Preferably a UK
supplier but will consider anywhere else.

Thanks for any help.
Simon

See: http://www.mpeforth.com/ngr.htm and look for low-end embedded PC,
then call if you are interested.

We have other solutions.

Sorry, nobody will be able to do that. Is that a trick question?

Makes perfect sense to me. He's writing from the perspective of
the device that is being controlled, not of the interface module.
It may be different to the perspective usually used on this group
but it certainly isn't wrong.

may do what you want. it only has 9 gpio's however; you would need
some sort of external mux.

Another solution is to get the Ether I/O 24, supports 24 I/O
each bit is programmable. It uses UDP.

There's a Perl module to talks to it. It's pretty easy to use.

The VM-1 controller and ethernet module plugged into an "application
board 3" will do this. You can choose fixed IP address or DHCP.
If you need hundreds and/or minimal size we can custom design resulting
in lower unit cost.
TCP,UDP, and HTTP are all supported.
Programming is dead easy.

PPP via a serial line and modem or GPRS terminal is also a possibility:
you don't say much about your expected physical internet connection.
