1 BrickElectric Ethernet Relay BE-M100 Excellent building block for LAN/Internet connection Features WEB control / Port Forwarding Software update via Internet 5 VDC power supply EasyBus - simple solution LAN mode Internet mode DHCP - Plug and play Android App Software Password Protection Integrated PLC(Coming Soon) Introduction BE-M100 is an Ethernet Remote Relay Module, with 2 output channels, and provide with both enclosed and open type housing. Its Ethernet connector provides 10/100baseT interface. It supports EasyBus, HTTP control and can be used with servers, computers, routers, etc., to provide remote control and monitor. You can also define the port number for HTTP by yourself, to realize Router Port Forwarding. With Internet mode, BE-M100 provide control possibility without any distance limit. What's more, with DHCP functions, it doesn't need to make any settings anymore. So just plug and play, power it on and then enjoy your remote control with a smart phone at anywhere.

We'll not discuss too much details here. The only simplest idea here is to make it work by guides with minimum steps. For more information, please refer to later chapters. HTTP Mode: 1. Connect BE-M100 with your routers or computer via a standard Ethernet cable. And then power it on with 5VDC power supply.(see fig.1.1 at page 2) 2. Open any Browser, for example Chrome is used here as demonstration. When the Browser is started, please enter URL : /on0. Relay channel 1 will be switched on, and also a message will be returned and displayed in your browser. Congratulations!

4 LAN Mode: 1. Connect BE-M100 with your routers or computer by Ethernet cable, and then power it on with 5VDC power supply.(see fig.1.1 at page 2) 2. Open any TCP test tool(if you don't have any, or you don't what socket test tool is, you can use TCP/IP Builder, it is within our software package). Open it and see the following Fig.1.2: Fig In "Socket Setup" group, at the first Local enter your PC's IP address, for example this demo PC is at , and then select TCP. At the second Local, leave the value 0 as default, and then click Create Socket. If you don't know your PC's IP address, please click on System Info... at bottom left, and you will get your PC IP address. Now we should see the following Fig.1.3(second Local will automatically change itself to a random value, it's OK):

5 Fig In "Connection Setup" group, at IP please enter the IP address of BE-M100, which by default is At Port please input the port number of BE-M100, which by default is And then click on Connect. If everything goes right and the connection is successful, Send button will be enabled now. See Fig.1.4 Fig Now it is able control the relay module. To switch on relay channel 1, at Send data enter "ON1;" and then click Send, you'll hear the relay opened and also a feedback will show up at Received data: "ON1;", this means the relay module has received your message and executed it correctly. If later you want to switch off channel 1, just enter "OFF1;" and then click on Send data, you'll find the relay is closed and of course a feedback will tell you communication is successful. See Fig.1.5 Fig.1.5

6 Internet Mode: 1. Connect BE-M100 with your routers or computer by Ethernet cable. And then power it on with 5VDC power supply.(see fig.1.1 at page 2) 2. Open "Hello Brick" app for android at any android phone, register a user and then have fun with Internet control. No other need at relay module is necessary. 3.

7 Easybus Specifications EasyBus use more friendly language to control the relay module. With "easy to understand" grammar and similarity to OS command lines, it's extremely easy to work with it. Not like any other field bus, you don't need to be an expert of automation industry to use it. We believe this saves the time for many engineers who want to focus on software programming but not at industry automation. We provide such a tool so our customer can fully concentrate on more creativity jobs, rather than spend their time on studying the old-fashioned and very long industry automation communication standard knowledge. To switch on relay channel 0: Send: "on0;" Return: "ON0;" To switch off relay channel 0: Send: "off0;" Return: "OFF0;" To switch on relay channel 1: Send: "on1;" Return: "ON0;" To switch off relay channel 1: Send: "off1;" Return: "OFF0;" To switch on relay channel 0 with defined on time, and then automatically switch off: Send: "on0 = 10s;" (explanation: switch on for 10 seconds) Send: "on0 = 100ms;" (explanation: switch on for 100 milliseconds) Return: "ON0=10S;" To switch off relay channel 0 with defined on time, and then automatically switch on: Send: "off0 = 10s;" (explanation: switch off for 10 seconds) Send: "off0 = 100ms;" (explanation: switch off for 100 milliseconds) Return: "ON0=10S;" To switch on relay channel 1 with defined on time, and then automatically switch off: Send: "on1 = 10s;" (explanation: switch on for 10 seconds) Send: "on1 = 100ms;" (explanation: switch on for 100 milliseconds)

When you want to make other operations, you need always input password first in you command. If your password is not correct, BE-M100 will perform no action. For example you want to send next cmd "on0", you

9 need to do: Send: "pw = ; on0;" To disable password protection: Send: "service password stop;" Return: "SERVICE PASSWORD STOP;" Notice: Once you enabled password service, you need to input correct password first and then you can disable your password protection. You need to do: Send: "pw = ; service password stop;" To modify your password: Send: "newpw = ;" (Explanation: a validate password can have maximum 10 characters) Return: "NEWPW = ;" Notice: Once you enabled password service, you need to input correct password first and then you can change your password. You need to do: Send: "pw = ; newpw = ;" To modify HTTP port number for port forwarding: Send: "webport = 12345;" (replace with the port number you want) Return: WEBPORT = 12345; HTTP Specifications Http mode use URL to control BE-M100, and return message as html format. You can use any standard Browser to access BE-M100, or you can use any programming language to realized http access, so that it is able customized your GUI or control logic. All the URL below assuming default IP setting is used. If you changed IP settings please change the IP address in URL to the correct value. To switch on relay channel 0: URL: " /on0" Return: "ON0;" To switch off relay channel 0: Send: " /off0" Return: "OFF0;" To switch on relay channel 1: Send: " /on1" Return: "ON0;" To switch off relay channel 1: Send: " /off1" Return: "OFF0;"

When you want to make other operations, you need always input password first in you command. If your password is not correct, BE-M100 will perform no action. For example you want to send next cmd "on0", you need to do: Send: " /pw = &on0" To disable password protection: Send: " /service?password=stop" Return: "SERVICE PASSWORD STOP" Notice: Once you enabled password service, you need to input correct password first and then you can disable your password protection.
