Fusion 4-Channel DPDT Relay Controller Overview

This 4-Channel DPDT Fusion controller makes it easy to automate relays unlike any other controller in the world.  Configure relays to activate based on sensor inputs, or configure relay activation under the direction of a time schedule.  Dual interface allows two computers to take control of the on-board relays simultaneously, keeping you in control using any two of your favorite communication technologies.  Fusion is the world’s most expandable relay controller.  We currently manufacture over 300 controllers that plug into the Fusion I2C expansion port (see NCD I2C Devices Category).  Fusion is unmatched by any competing controller, as it was designed for high-functionality at a very low price with limitless expansion capabilities.  Fusion is configured using Base Station software, so you don’t have to program to use Fusion.  If you are a programmer, learn to send commands to Fusion by watching the log windows in Base Station.  We show you all the data you are sending so you can easily replicate our features in your own software.   Learn to use the world’s most powerful relay controller and take advantage of our unlimited expansion as we continue to build hundreds of new sensors and controllers.  Fusion hardware includes 16 I/O lines that can be used for Digital I/O, 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Conversion, or Two UXP expansion ports for adding older NCD expansion devices.  Fusion also includes a FXR relay expansion port, allowing control of more relays of mixed types if needed.  The optional TLEE memory and Real Time Clock expansion enables enhanced features and relay activation from a time schedule.

 

Fusion: The World’s Most Versatile Relay Controller

Fusion controllers are the most powerful controllers we have ever manufactured.  With an unrivaled number of communication options, Fusion makes it easy to communicate to any computer system, anywhere in the world.  Fusion is a combination of computer controlled relays, with the ability to control relays automatically based on sensor input.  Fusion controllers are also capable of storing a time schedule, allowing relays to turn on and off at specific times of the day.  Fusion controllers include a I2C expansion port, making it possible to plug in hundreds of different expansion boards. Read temperature, humidity, pressure, light levels, current monitoring, control PWM outputs, FETs, and much much more.  Fusion is the most versatile and expandable relay controller in the world.

ProXR: Computer Controlled Relays

ProXR Relay control capabilities offer the ultimate computer controlled relay solution. The 4th Generation ProXR Advanced command set is designed to give you computer control of relays, overriding the sensor and time control features configured into the controller.

Reactor: Sensor Controlled Relays

When your application demands sensor controlled relays, Reactor will let you point and click your way into a simple configuration that triggers relays, timers, and counters based on sensor values. Let Reactor manage your relay control needs based on temperature, light levels, humidity, motion detection, and much more. Compatible with most sensors, Reactor is a powerhouse relay control solution for managing your most demanding automation tasks without programming.

Taralist: Time Schedule Controlled Relays

Need relays to activate on a regular schedule? Taralist allows you to build a Time Activated Relay Schedule with up to 999 events.  With Daylight Savings Time, Holidays, and Leap Year support, Taralist is capable of managing about any application that requires relay control on a regular time schedule. Link Taralist and Reactor for applications that require sensor controlled relays on a time schedule. (see recommended accessories below for important information)

I2C: Expansion Beyond Imagination

Fusion is a master of expansion, with over 300 expansion controllers that plug in to the I2C port.  Plug in just about any kind of expansion you can think of, choose from a wide variety of sensors and controllers.  I2C expansion is where we are currently focusing our design efforts.  We are constantly developing our software drivers so you can see working examples immediately.  Please note that our hardware library is currently ahead of our software samples, so if there is anything you need in particular, just let us know and we will get samples for you within a few days.

Fusion: Built to Expand

With 2 UXP expansion ports, Fusion controllers know how to expand. Easily add Analog to Digital Converters, Contact Closure detectors and digital potentiometers to your Fusion controller. Fusion controllers also support I2C devices, adding a wide variety of sensors to meet your application objectives. The FXR Expansion Port allows you to add expansion relay boards to your Fusion controller.

Fusion Series Controllers have 16 programmable I/O lines, which may be used for contact closure input, digital input, digital output, 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Conversion, or I²C expansion. In most cases, these features may be mixed and matched as your application requires.

Fusion Series Relay Controllers know how to connect to your application. With a simple point and click configuration, you can read a variety of sensors in just a few minutes. Fusion will automatically monitor your sensor in the background and make relay control decisions if a sensor is tripped or goes outside an acceptable range.

World Wide Access

Fusion controllers were designed for internet access, making Fusion the perfect choice for internet control and web-page based control applications.  Pursuant to our goals of worldwide access, Fusion controllers were designed to work with WiFi, Ethernet, Web-Page Based Ethernet, and 802.15.4 Wireless.  Each of these technologies adds unique benefits for worldwide access of Fusion controllers.

  • WiNet Gateway and Fusion

  • TCP/IP Ethernet & WiFi Interface
  • Web-i WebRelay Ethernet Interface
  • Wireless 802.15.4 Industrial Wireless
  • Push Notification

Recommended Accessories

Many accessories are available for the Fusion series controllers, but there are two accessories that should be considered above all others.

The TLEE Expansion Module adds the following benefits:

  • Adds Real-Time Clock and additional EEPROM Memory
  • Enables Taralist Time Activated Relay Scheduling Features
  • Expands Reactor Features to Include 60% More Event Triggers
  • Allows Fusion Controllers to Take Control of other Wireless Fusion Controllers (experimental)
  • Enables Sensor Sharing between Fusion Controllers (experimental)
  • Enables Push Notifications

At least one USB communications module (Part Number: ZUSB) should be on-hand, just in case you have problems with your Fusion series controller. It may not be possible for technical support to offer guidance without at-least one ZUSB on-hand for trouble-shooting purposes.

Base Station Software is a free download from our web site, and should be considered the starting point for using any NCD device. Nearly every feature of a Fusion controller requires Base Station Software for configuration and/or testing. Base Station is essential to successful use of Fusion series controllers. Base Station will talk to any Fusion controller using any communication technology, either in a localized installation or over the internet.
