More Power for Your Project: Switching External Devices with tinycontrol LK4
Do you use a tinycontrol LAN Kontroler v4 and want to take its capabilities to the next level? The LANKON-085 Relay Board is exactly what you need. It is not a standalone device, but a highly specialized accessory that gives your controller the power to switch external devices with high loads. Whether you want to automate garden lighting, activate a water pump as needed, or integrate other 230V consumers into your Network – with a switching capacity of 10A per relay, the possibilities are enormous. This turns your LAN Kontroler into a central switching point for demanding Smart Home or automation applications.
Professional Integration on DIN Rail
Order and stability are paramount in a control cabinet. The LANKON-085 is specially designed for mounting on a DIN rail. This not only ensures a tidy and professional setup but also secure and stable fastening of the component. The connection to the LAN Kontroler v4 is made via a single, included ribbon cable, which minimizes Cabling effort and ensures error-free installation. This way, the expansion integrates perfectly into your existing infrastructure, including 19-Inch Racks and Enclosures.
Easy Commissioning Thanks to Perfect Compatibility
Forget complicated configurations or soldering. The Plug-and-Play integration of the LANKON-085 makes expanding your system a breeze. Simply mount the board on the DIN rail, connect the IDC10 cable to the LAN Kontroler v4, and you can immediately configure the new relays via its web interface. Define rules, react to sensor data, or switch manually – the entire intelligence of your multifunctional IoT device is immediately available to control the new outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I also use the LANKON-085 Relay Board with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino?
No, the LANKON-085 is specifically designed for connection to a tinycontrol LAN Controller v4, a key component in a robust Network. It uses an IDC10 connector and control tailored to the PWM outputs of this device. Direct compatibility with Arduino or Raspberry Pi is not provided, as its Cabling and control are specific to the LAN Controller.
Is the LANKON-085 board suitable for outdoor use?
No, the board itself is not intended for direct outdoor use. It should be mounted in a suitable, weatherproof Enclosure or a control cabinet, utilizing appropriate Mounting Systems. While the system's operating temperature range is -20°C to +85°C, this does not refer to protection against moisture or dust, making proper Enclosures essential.
How many LANKON-085 boards can I connect to a LAN Controller v4?
The documentation describes connecting one tBRx3 board (LANKON-085), which uses three PWM outputs of the LAN Controller v4. For the maximum number of extensions within your Network setup, the specific details in the LAN Controller v4 manual should be checked.
Do I need programming knowledge for the installation of the LANKON-085?
No, no programming knowledge is required for the purely physical installation. The configuration of the switching logic for your Network devices is done conveniently via the web interface of the LAN Controller main device.
What is the difference between the LANKON-085 and other relay cards for the LAN Controller?
The LANKON-085 (tBRx3) is specific to the LAN Controller v4 and offers 3 relays, each with 10A switching capacity. There are other relay boards for earlier versions or with different specifications. Exact compatibility with your Network components is crucial for optimal performance.
Can I also switch 3-phase AC (heavy current) with the LANKON-085?
No, the relays are designed for switching single-phase 250V AC loads up to 10A. This board is not designed for switching 3-phase AC (400V) and would be dangerous. For such applications, suitable contactors must be used, often alongside specialized PoE Injectors / Power Supplies for industrial setups.
