The answer to the requirement for a multifunction and expandable control unit on a two gang plate.
Two bi-directional RS232 ports that can be independently configured for TX and RX protocols allowing not only the control of external RS232 devices but also responding to external RS232 commands from the same or different devices. (Must be the same baud rate).
Two IR ports supporting emitters for control of devices such as video players, receivers and amplifiers.
Two fully configurable inputs for external devices, push buttons, pir’s, time switches etc.
Two outputs can be configured to control motorised screens*, control projector lifts*, control projector power switching or be controlled independently by any button including timed functions or as indication of external buttons or relays.
Will fit a standard depth UK back box and is provided with fixed screw terminals for ease of installation.
Can be expanded to include RS232 via Ethernet via comms port 2
Can be expanded to communicate with up to 256 other compatible devices via PodNet.
* requires SPC-PP1

The Octo Podule controller is an 8 button controller mounted on a UK 2 gang white metal panel. Ideal for control of projectors, LED displays and other devices via RS232, IR or both.
Programmed via out free to use PodNet software it can be programmed to access any available RS232 commands such as on, off, input select and volume, and with multifunction buttons one press can establish a series of events for seamless operation and timed events such as projector shut down.
It has two infrared outputs to control peripheral equipment.
Two outputs are also provided for control of external relays or indicators for screen control etc. It also has two external inputs for use with an external switch or a PIR detector for additional control functions or shutdown.
With the optional Ethernet add-on this unit can link direct into a Ethernet backbone. This will give control of multiple other devices as well as control of the Octo over Ethernet via your LAN / WAN network or even over the Internet.
Power supply included. UK supplied normally or add "/EU" to order code for European supply.
Please Note: This unit is programmed using the Podflow 3 software and not the Synergy software
This unit can be upgraded at time of order to use the Podnet protocol. This will allow the Octo to connect to other Podule control units. It can also be upgraded on order to include an onboard EtherLink 232 that operates in parallel with RS232 port 2.
