Description

The USB-Switch 3 features three USB-Switches in one housing. Every mains socket is independantly controlled via USB and the state is displayed by a LED next to the socket. The total power consumption of all three devices connected to the mains sockets must not exceed 3500 Watt. The power may be divided to the sockets in any way. To protect the device against
sparks produced by inductive devices the plugs are eqipped with a protection. This causes a current of about 7 mA lead though the turned off switch. On request the device is available without this protection.

The USB-Switch 3 is controlled by the same software package as the USB-Switch.

The housing of the USB-Switch 3 is about 180 x 120 x 65 mm in size. The connection to the mains is a about 1,8 m long power cord with a Schuko plug.

The usage of the USB-Temp is strictly prohibited when the failure of the sensor will harm people. The usage in medical applications of any kind request the written permission of the Cleware GmbH.

Please note:
PC programs may fail or may be interfeared through other programs. Don't connect devices to the USB-Switch that may case harm if the switch turns on unexpected!

Up to 127 switches may theoretically be connected to a PC using several HUBs. The HUBs used must use a separate power supply. When using Cleware USB devices it is not neccessary to install device drivers. The standard USB drivers are sufficient. So the system stability will not be harmed.

The USB-Switch3 will be delivered with the software ClewareControl for displaying and switching. The software is running with Windows® variants that support USB. (® Microsoft Windows is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation.)

The USB-Switch may also be controlled via the network. The connection is established with the TCP/IP protocol. On the remote control PC the USB-Switch appears like a local device and could be handled the same way. Several devices even on different PCs could be controlled simultaniously.

An application program interface (API) to drive the USB-Switch from customer programs is part of the delivery. The API bundles some very simple functions for opening and reading the device. The complex USB device handling is hided.

Linux support is also available. An application program interface (API) and a simple example for turning an USB-Switch is supplied. Some more support is planned.

Every device owns a unique serial number. This make it easy to identify the devices even when the USB plug position changes or new USB devices are connected. The serial number is accessible through the API and could therefore be used as a simple dongle.

The product USB-Switch3 comes with a 2-year software update service via Internet free of charge. New versions are made available in the Cleware download area and may be downloaded free.
