3.1 Features

ZCS (Zero Current Switching) –PowerBOX 4Kx

ZCS (Zero Current Switching) function ensures that the relay contact is closed

at the moment of zero voltage and opened at the moment when zero current

flows through it.

Closing and opening at these exact moments has a number of advantages:

The negative effects of inrush current on the lifetime of the relay in the

NETIO device are significantly reduced.

Reduced probability of a circuit breaker tripping in the circuit branch

where the appliance with a high inrush current is connected.

Significantly improved lifetime of switching supplies in appliances that are connected to the

socket (especially in case of frequent switching on and off).

Significantly reduced electromagnetic interference caused by repeated switching on and off.

Zero current switching (ZCS) significantly improves the lifetime of the NETIO device and the

connected end devices. This function is particularly important in case of frequent switching.

ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) –PowerBOX 3Px

ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) means switching the 110/230VAC output when

the immediate voltage is zero.

ZVS is a good solution for switching on/off devices such as switching power

supplies.

ZVS is not suitable for controlling inductive loads (transformers or motors), as

it increases the probability of relay damage when such types of loads are

frequently switched on/off.

NETIO products without energy metering support ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) when switching

110/230V relay outputs.

ZVS is sufficient relay switching technology for most load types, such as switching power supplies in

IT solutions.

IOC (Independent Output Control)

Independent Output Control function of the NETIO device uses an independent

system that ensures a stable operation of the output even if the main system

is being restarted, updated, or is booting.

Thanks to IOC, the controlled output can power devices that, for technical

reasons, must be powered without interruption (such as servers). The output

control is completely independent from the WiFi or LAN communication

subsystem.

PowerUp State

The PowerUp State parameter (sometimes also called Cold start) defines the

behavior of the 110/230V power output during the first milliseconds to seconds

after powering up the device, before the LAN/WiFi communication with a

master system is established.

For some applications, it is important to set the correct state of a power

output immediately after power is turned on (or restored). With servers in

particular it is important to avoid undesired momentary switching.

Possible settings for NETIO device

- On

- Off

- LAST state restores the last state before the power was disconnected
