Revision as of 01:10, 11 April 2017

I have a Western Telematics, Inc RPB+ remote power strip.

On the outside:

  • 5 switched AC outlets, individually controllable
  • Can switch up to 15A on one port, up to 15A for all ports.
  • 9 pin RS232 port (you need a null modem cable to connect)
  • Dip switch for setting baud rate
  • An LED for each outlet on the front panel

Inside it has:

  • a PIC 16C56 microcontroller, in a socket
  • 5 nice relays and associated drivers to interface to PIX
  • a 555 timer
  • an ADM232 on the serial port
  • a power supply

A PIC 16C56 has:

  • 18 pin DIP
  • 1.5K memory
  • 25 bytes of RAM (whew! takes my breath away!)
  • 1 8-bit timer
  • It's OTP = one time programmable

To substitute a flash device I could drop in a 16F628A, then I'd get 3.5k of RAM and 224 bytes of RAM.
