8-Channel ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi Relay Module with CAN Interface

The Waveshare 8-Channel ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi Relay Module is based on an ESP32S3 microcontroller with an Xtensa 32bit LX7 dualcore processor running up to 240MHz, featuring 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth LE dualmode wireless, and adds a W5500 Ethernet chip over SPI for a 10/100Mbps network port (with the option for PoE support).

I/O is set up for realworld control: highquality relays (10A at 250VAC / 30VDC), passive and active digital inputs with bidirectional optocoupler isolation, and linkage so relays can follow digital inputs.

Optocouplers prevent interference from external highvoltage circuits on the relay side, with digital isolation to keep external signals clean, and a unibody isolated power supply that provides a stable isolated voltage so the isolated terminal needs no extra supply.

An onboard isolated CAN interface connects to a range of CAN devices, and a pin header gives access to other peripherals. Power it via the USBC port (also used for firmware downloading and debugging) or the screw terminal with a wide 736V input.

Anonboard RTC supports scheduled tasks (with a CR1220 battery holder for rechargeable coin cells only), theres aMicroSD card slot for storing images and files, and you get a builtin buzzer, RGB LED, plus power and CAN TX/RX indicators to monitor device status. Its all housed in a railmounted ABS case thats easy to install and safe to use.

There are two versions of this product available – one with a standard/common Ethernet port, and one with a PoE network port (via a builtin IEEE 802.3afcompliant module), please select an option before adding to your cart.
