Relay P16
16x Isolated Relays
- Overview
- Commands
- Samples
- On-Module Code
A 16-channel optically-isolated relay board rated 10 A at 250 V per channel. Optical isolation keeps the relay coils electrically separated from the DUELink bus, so a relay short or coil surge can't damage the rest of your chain. Switch any relay with simple text commands over any supported interface.
Common uses: home automation panels, industrial-style control boards, lighting installations, lab-equipment interlocks, and AC-powered classroom demos where isolation is required.
Requires an external 12 V power supply for the relay coils via the on-board terminal block.
Mains-voltage AC (110/240 V) can cause electric shock, fire, or death. Only wire live AC power if you are qualified to do so — otherwise have a licensed electrician make the connections, or use these relays only for low-voltage DC loads.

Modules ship without cables to reduce waste. Some specialty boards include a USB cable; for the rest, see Cables to add cables to your order.
Commands this module accepts. See Samples for runnable code in popular host languages.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
Set(i, v) | Set a relay at i index to v value (1 on, 0 off). |
DVer() | This driver version. |
Peek under the hood
The script below is this module's driver — it teaches the hardware how to respond to the commands listed above. It ships pre-loaded from the factory; most users never need to open it.

This sample runs in MicroBlocks on a any host board that's connected/tethered to this module, or a chain of modules. This module keeps its official DUELink firmware and module driver and responds to commands from the connected MicroBlocks-running host. New here? See the MicroBlocks page.
There are two ways to use it:
Open the full sample — the complete project (the module's library plus a ready-to-run example) opens directly on the MicroBlocks website.
Add just the libraries to your own project — copy the link, then in your MicroBlocks project click Add Library → Cloud and paste it. This loads this module's libraries into your project without replacing your current work.
Copy Library LinkCode that runs directly on this module's MCU. See how On-Module Code allows modules to run standalone.
- Script
- Arduino IDE
This example runs using the default DUELink Internal Engine using its Scripting Language, and it expects the module's driver to be loaded first, see the Commands Tab.
