PD Locker Board
Steuerung für Lockers und Relais
Reliable RS-485 / I2C / UART Controlled Hardware module for Multi-Lock Systems
PD.Relay_Board is a robust embedded STM32 MCU based module designed for managing up to 12 electromechanical locks / solenoids / heavy loads, monitoring power and environmental conditions, and integrating seamlessly into industrial and commercial systems via RS-485 / I2C / UART communication buses.
It is ideal for applications such as access control systems, lockers, vending machines, smart cabinets, kiosks, and industrial enclosures.
Key Features
Controls up to 12 locks per module with individual status monitoring
RS-485 / I2C / UART multi-drop communication with device addressing (up to 5-bit address), 372 locks max
Reliable RS-485 / I2C / UART simple API commands with optional CRC32 protection
Real-time voltage, current, and temperature monitoring
Flexible lock control modes (state-based or pulse-based)
Compact, deterministic protocol optimized for embedded systems
- Low-power consumption, optimized for off-grid solar-powered applications and EMC-noisy environments
- Remote Firmware update for onboard STM32 MCU via RS-485 and I2C buses
Easy Integration & System Control
The API includes essential system-level commands:
API version reporting
Remote MCU monitoring and reset
Configurable response timing
Communication testing utilities
- Multiboard Daisy-chain connection both data and power
Multi-byte parameters use little-endian format, ensuring compatibility with common microcontrollers and industrial PCs.
Remote Firmware Update (Future-Proof by Design)
Remote firmware update feature – capability without physical access
Eliminates costly on-site service visits – saves time and money
Enables feature upgrades, bug fixes, and security improvements post-deployment
Essential for large-scale installations (access controllers, lockers, kiosks, cabinets)
“Once installed, the system keeps improving—no recalls, no manual reprogramming.”
Unlike typical lock controllers, our module combines industrial RS-485 and I²C support, verified lock operation, full system monitoring, and remote firmware updates, making it scalable, serviceable, and future-proof.
