SIP Ring Switch 4xOut

Precise Control with the SIP Ring Switch 4xOut from Wiesemann & Theis

In modern building and industrial automation, controlling switching operations via existing communication infrastructures such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephone networks is an innovative solution to simplify processes. The SIP Ring Switch 4xOut from Wiesemann & Theis is a powerful, network-enabled device offering four switching channels that can be activated by calling specific extensions in a VoIP network. With an intuitive web interface, comprehensive network services, and compatibility with VoIP solutions like Asterisk, it is ideal for home automation, building automation, and remote control. This article highlights the technical features, application possibilities, and benefits of this versatile device, which is designed for applications such as door openers, barrier control, and lighting control.

Flexible Switching Channels for Versatile Applications

The SIP Ring Switch 4xOut features four switching outputs that operate with 24V technology and support switching currents up to 500 mA. For applications with higher voltages, such as 230V, coupling relays can be used. The outputs allow for switching on, off, or toggling, as well as issuing switching pulses, enabling precise control of devices such as door openers, barriers, lights, or other consumers. Switching operations are triggered by calling specific extensions in a VoIP telephone network, facilitating integration into existing telephone infrastructures. This flexibility makes the device ideal for applications such as door and barrier control, lighting control, and cross-location switching where simple and reliable control is required.

Intuitive Operation and Network Integration

Operating the SIP Ring Switch is extremely user-friendly thanks to an intuitive web interface that can be switched between German and English. Users can control the switching channels directly via the web interface, simplifying setup and operation. The interface is optimized for smartphones, enabling control on the go. Support for HTTP and HTTPS ensures secure communication. Developers can access the current states of the switching channels directly via HTTP requests, AJAX, or JavaScript to integrate the device into other websites or applications. Additionally, compatibility with TCP sockets and VoIP solutions such as Asterisk allows for flexible integration into modern communication systems. Auxiliary inputs offer further control options, for example via HTTP requests or direct network commands. These connectivity options make the device ideal for network control in connected environments.

Flexible Alarm and Notification Functions

The SIP Ring Switch offers extensive options for alarms and status notifications. Up to 30 actions can be configured that are automatically triggered when specific numbers are dialed or when the switching channels change state. These include email notifications when certain numbers are dialed, FTP logs for recording switching operations, and HTTP requests to control third-party devices such as cameras. These functions are especially beneficial in critical applications such as remote control or access control where rapid responses to switching operations are required. The ability to log switching operations via FTP supports the documentation and analysis of events, which is essential for audits and quality management.

Seamless Integration into VoIP and Network Systems

The SIP Ring Switch 4xOut is optimally equipped for integration into modern VoIP telephone networks and network systems. It is compatible with common VoIP solutions such as Asterisk, allowing for easy integration into existing telephone infrastructures. Additional interfaces such as HTTP, HTTPS, AJAX, TCP sockets, and FTP (data logging) enable integration into existing systems and databases. Developers can access the switching channel states directly via HTTP requests or TCP sockets to develop custom solutions. FTP support allows for logging switching events, enhancing traceability of processes. These connectivity options make the device a future-proof solution for home automation, building automation, and industrial applications.

Precise Time Management

The SIP Ring Switch is equipped with an internal battery-backed clock that provides precise timestamps. Time synchronization with a time server ensures reliable documentation of switching operations. This feature is especially useful in applications where the chronological traceability of switching actions is important, such as door and barrier control or lighting control. Accurate timekeeping also supports logging events via FTP or email, facilitating analysis and documentation of switching operations.

Versatile Applications

The SIP Ring Switch 4xOut is designed for a wide range of applications. In door and barrier control, it enables the opening of doors or barriers by calling specific extensions, making it ideal for access control systems. In building automation, it controls devices such as lighting or barriers and supports cross-location switching. In home automation, it automates lighting or other systems to increase comfort and energy efficiency. In industrial environments, the device is suitable for controlling systems and logging switching operations. The ability to switch 230V devices using coupling relays further expands its range of applications. Other uses include lighting control and integration into security or surveillance systems.

Flexible Power Supply and Standards Compliance

The SIP Ring Switch is powered via an external supply (12–24V DC) through a screw terminal. This configuration is ideal for applications using 24V technology. The device complies with standards for office and industrial environments and offers high interference immunity according to EN 61000-6-2 as well as low interference emissions according to EN 55032:2015 + A1 Class B, EN 61000-3-2, and EN 61000-3-3. These features ensure reliable and interference-free operation even in demanding environments.

Please note: No power supply is included in the scope of delivery.

Durability and Reliability

The SIP Ring Switch is designed for continuous operation and comes with a five-year warranty. The robust construction and the option for DIN rail mounting make it ideal for use in industrial environments. The internal battery-buffered clock ensures precise timekeeping, optimized through synchronization with a time server. These features underscore the durability and reliability of the device, even under demanding conditions.
