Hardware highlights

Built for dense, serviceable cabinet installs.

Latching Relay Outputs

High-power latching relays per channel — hold their last state without continuous drive current.

Internal Power Supply

Built-in internal power supply — no separate external supply module needed to run the board.

Large, Convenient Terminals

Oversized wiring terminals sized for fast field wiring and easier cabinet servicing.

CAN-BUS Port Equipped

Dedicated CAN-BUS port for direct binding with keypads, thermostats and other DIN-rail nodes.

Metal Enclosure

Rigid metal body for durability and shielding in dense, high-channel-count cabinets.

Push-Button per Channel

A local push-button on every channel for manual override and testing without a controller.

SDDP Support

Built-in SDDP discovery for fast, plug-and-play commissioning on compatible systems.

Planned

Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP support is on the roadmap for a future firmware release, alongside Ethernet and CAN-BUS.

Product position

Not only a relay module — an integration-ready automation node.

The module combines relay outputs, manual override, per-channel feedback, Ethernet, CAN-BUS, SDDP and built-in web configuration into one DIN-rail platform.

Binding / Direct Control

Local CAN device-to-channel binding for keypad and automation workflows.

API for Integrators

Ethernet command, status, configuration and diagnostics for approved integrations.

SDDP Discovery

Fast discovery and easier commissioning in compatible automation systems.

Manual Override

Per-channel local push buttons and status indicators for service and testing.

Web Configuration

Built-in web setup for IP settings, channels, diagnostics and firmware workflows.

SmartAPEX CAN-BUS

Connect wall devices, keypads, thermostats, inputs and other DIN-rail modules.

Application map

One module, multiple cabinet roles.

Lighting

Incandescent, halogen, ELV/MLV, fluorescent, CFL and LED loads within derating limits.

Curtain motors

Motorized curtains and blinds using relay-pair logic where required. Motor ratings require project validation.

Fan coil

Three-speed fan coil and valve control configurations.

Valve / DC loads

Electrical valves and selected DC load control subject to voltage/current derating.

Specifications

Technical product specifications.

Electrical ratings are separated between product-level module limits and internal contact capability.

Model numberAPX-1616-RL (16-channel) or APX-2416-RL (24-channel)
SeriesG3 Series, SDDP support, AC power supply
Supply voltage100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Power consumption< 3 W
Control communicationEthernet, CAN-BUS
Output channels16 or 24 relay outputs, depending on model
Output load ratingRecommended module output rating: 16 A resistive per channel @ 250 VAC. Internal relay contact capability: up to 20 A resistive @ 250 VAC. Total simultaneous load is limited by wiring, terminal rating and PCB thermal design.
Impulse withstandRelay contact short-circuit impulse withstand: up to 750 A for 10 ms. This is not a continuous or operating current rating.
Supported load typesResistive loads and selected lighting drivers within rating. LED drivers, transformers, motors and DC loads require derating and project validation.
Operating temperature-10 to 60 °C
Humidity5% to 95% non-condensing
Weight1 kg

Important rating note. Do not interpret 750 A / 10 ms as operating current or guaranteed switching current — it is an impulse withstand value.

The recommended published module output rating remains 16 A resistive per channel unless a higher product-level rating is validated by thermal and safety testing.

Total simultaneous load must be limited by installation wiring, terminal rating, PCB thermal design, enclosure temperature and upstream protection.

LED status

Commissioning indicators.

LEDStateMeaning
LKRedEthernet not connected.

Local functions

Push-button commissioning and recovery.

  • SDDP IdentifyPress and hold the PRG button for 4 seconds to initiate SDDP identification.
  • Factory ResetPress and hold the PRG button for 12 seconds until the PW LED starts blinking fast. Release to reset to factory settings.
  • Manual Static IPPress and hold the highest-numbered channel push button (16 or 24, depending on model) for about 15 seconds. When PW blinks rapidly, release — the module restarts at 192.168.1.150.

Binding and integration

Designed for panels, integrators and real projects.

Use the module as an Ethernet-connected cabinet controller, a SmartAPEX CAN-BUS node, or a bridge between wall devices and relay outputs.

Binding / Direct Connection

Local SmartAPEX device-to-device control can bind compatible CAN devices to relay targets. Typical use: keypad/input action → relay channel or relay group, with state feedback where supported. Binding capacity and supported object types depend on firmware version.

API for Integrators

Local API available for approved integrators. Capabilities include channel control, status monitoring, configuration access, diagnostics and binding workflows where supported. Final endpoint list depends on firmware version.

Browse to the module’s current IP address to open the built-in web configuration page. Network settings can be set for DHCP or static IP with the required IP, gateway and subnet parameters — the page may also expose channel configuration, scenes/schedules, firmware update and diagnostics depending on firmware version.
