Overview

IQTS-RS232 — RS232 watchdog socket for serial control and automatic power restart.

IQTS-RS232 is a serial controlled power outlet and RS232 watchdog socket. Switch power with AT commands or automatically restart stalled equipment.

IQTS-RS232 is an IQsocket smart power socket controlled through an RS232 serial interface. AT commands switch or restart connected equipment. When the watchdog is enabled, the connected device sends periodic serial data; if data stop for two minutes, the socket interrupts power for ten seconds. Monitoring begins six minutes after power-up. A supplied crossover cable connects the DB9 interface to a PC. Choose a regional socket version suitable for your installation.

Applications

Real-world use cases

Server watchdog: A server or industrial PC sends periodic data over RS232. If its software freezes and data stop, the socket power cycles the connected equipment.
Unattended control system: An embedded controller sends a serial keep-alive so the watchdog can restart it after a software lockup at an unattended site.
Serial power control: A host sends AT commands to turn connected equipment on or off, or to request a ten-second power reset.
Test bench recovery: Use the serial interface to restart a compatible instrument or controller during automated testing when the host detects a fault.
