The Zelio Smart Relay is designed for ease of use in a variety of applications. Follow the steps below to integrate it into your circuit:
The Zelio Smart Relay can be controlled by an Arduino UNO for advanced automation tasks. Below is an example code snippet to toggle an output relay based on an Arduino digital pin:
// Example: Controlling Zelio Smart Relay with Arduino UNO
// This code toggles Relay Output Q1 based on a button press
const int buttonPin = 2; // Button connected to digital pin 2
const int relayPin = 3; // Relay control connected to digital pin 3
void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); // Configure button pin as input with pull-up
pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); // Configure relay pin as output
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Ensure relay is off initially
}
void loop() {
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // Read button state
if (buttonState == LOW) { // Button pressed (active low)
digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH); // Turn on relay
} else {
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Turn off relay
}
}
Relay does not power on:
Inputs not responding:
Outputs not activating:
Relay behaves erratically:
Q: Can the Zelio Smart Relay be used with AC loads?
A: Yes, the relay outputs can control AC loads, but ensure the load current does not exceed 8 A.
Q: Is the Zelio Soft software free?
A: Yes, the Zelio Soft software is available for free download from Schneider Electric's website.
Q: Can the relay be programmed without a computer?
A: Yes, the relay can be programmed using its built-in LCD and buttons, but the Zelio Soft software provides a more user-friendly interface.
Q: What is the lifespan of the relay?
A: The relay is rated for a mechanical lifespan of up to 10 million operations under normal conditions.
