Selection Notes for B2B Projects
Control ObjectPlan the product by lighting circuit, pump, fan, cabinet output or equipment switching object instead of only by channel count.
Protocol and PlatformCheck whether the project needs RS485, Ethernet, LTE(4G), MQTT, Modbus, grouped control, schedules, logs or private platform deployment.
Circuit PlanningSeparate high-power, inductive and frequently switched loads into clear circuits and match controller selection with the cabinet design.
Integration and Deployment
Circuit ObjectsMap each output to a named lighting, pump, fan, valve, cabinet or equipment circuit and retain a clear control boundary.
Local OperationUse dry-contact inputs, wall panels, schedules or supported local rules for field operation when the selected model provides them.
Network OperationsUse the communication interfaces of the selected model for status, remote control, action records and multi-site management.
Electrical CoordinationCoordinate relay loads, contactors, protection, cabinet wiring and manual override with the electrical design.
Local Sensor Automation for Agriculture
Supported controller hardware and firmware can read Zhenming RS485 environmental sensors, evaluate downloaded upper and lower thresholds on site, and drive the mapped output without a cloud round trip. The platform remains available for rule configuration, state, remote operation and linkage logs.

The QCL series provides multi-circuit 4G latching control. Select by circuits and cabinet space; compare QC products for Ethernet sites and ER1 for single-circuit energy-aware remote control.
Select QC models by circuit count for multi-circuit latching relay switching. Match integration, local inputs and loads to the exact model; compare QCL products for 4G latching control.
Choose an energy relay when one circuit needs both 4G switching and power data. Compare a switching-only controller for simple start/stop duties, or a multi-circuit energy controller for additional circuits.

Product integration and applications
01
Choose QCL4, QCL8 or QCL12 by circuit count
QCL combines 4G remote access with local RS485 and matched input/output channels. ZMRL0404-QCL4, ZMRL0808-QCL8 and ZMRL1212-QCL12 provide four, eight and twelve channels respectively. Use circuit count, enclosure space, cable access and spare capacity to select the model for a small equipment box, a floor zone or a larger lighting cabinet.
Supported firmware and configurations can read compatible RS485 sensors and execute threshold rules on the controller. Temperature, humidity or level conditions can trigger the selected outputs without a cloud round trip for each action. The platform supports configuration, visibility and records. Define protocol, threshold, hysteresis and output behavior as one coherent field strategy.
03
Input scenes, schedules and output modes
A configured field input can trigger one or more local outputs for arrival, departure, cleaning or maintenance scenes. Switching, momentary, toggle, interlock and hidden modes serve different control objects, while offline schedules support configured routines. Local operation can coexist with mobile and desktop circuit management for distributed lighting and livestock cabinets.
04
Multi-circuit cabinet integration
Independent dry contacts can be allocated to lighting, pump, fan or contactor circuits. Inputs and RS485 handle the low-voltage field interface. Group controllers by site and cabinet, and keep platform names aligned with terminal labels. Separate current or energy acquisition can document actual operation and consumption alongside control records.
QCL offers 4, 8 or 12 channels with 4G access. QC8 has eight channels with Ethernet, dual RS485 and CAN. Select by network, interface and circuit needs.
Does every local sensor action pass through the cloud?
No. Supported local RS485 rules execute on the controller. Sensor protocol, firmware and rule configuration must match.
Can field buttons coexist with remote operation?
Yes. Local inputs provide field triggers, and the platform supplies remote operation and records.
Selection FAQ
What lighting or control projects are suitable?These relay controllers are used for smart lighting, control cabinets, equipment switching, parks, streets, campuses, hospitals, cinemas and exhibition halls.
How should relay channels be selected?Channel count should follow the number of lighting circuits, equipment groups, cabinet layout and expansion margin.
Can the controller support remote operation?Depending on the model, RS485, Ethernet, 4G, MQTT, TCP, UDP or platform access can support remote control and status viewing.
Controller, bus and platform roles
Model-specific interfaces
Select 4G, Ethernet or RS485 by model. RS485 slaves use a networked host or gateway for platform access.
Circuit planning
Select IO count, load characteristics, terminal space and maintenance groups using the specific model drawings.
