An industrial controllerwith expandable I/O,HMI and a cloud link.

Wire it up, describe the logic, and the controller builds it. No training, nothing to install, just a browser.

A$1,190 ex GST. JasperX is free for one controller.

Got one already? Here's the quick start guide.

A JasperMate on a DIN rail: the controller, with antenna sockets, two Ethernet ports, USB and serial terminals, beside its onboard I/O for 8 digital inputs, 4 relay outputs and 4 analogue inputs

If you can wire it, you can program it.

JasperMate wires in like the gear you already fit, and you describe the logic in plain words.

Wired like the rest of the panelThe extraction job

The extraction job, wired to a JasperMate: the saw contactor and fan overload into digital inputs, duct pressure into a 4-20 mA input, and a relay output driving the fan contactor through a hard-wired E-stop.

S0, the E-stop, is hard-wired in series with the fan coil. It stops the fan whatever the controller does.

SafetyAlways hard-wired

E-stops and safety circuits stay hard-wired.

JasperMate runs the logic around them, never in place of them. Wire them as you always have.

Getting startedPower, a network and one address

  1. Step 1Wire it in

    12-36 V DC and push-in terminals. Connect it over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G.

  2. Step 2Open its jaspermate.link

    Every unit has its own address, on its front. Any browser, no drivers, no software to install.

  3. Step 3Describe the logic

    Open it in your projects at app.jasperx.io and describe, in plain words, what this JasperMate should do.

Stuck? A link like jaspermate.link/STAR41 is all you need. Open it in a browser any time, and its pages guide you through getting started.

No training. One website, one prompt.

Build, test and support it at app.jasperx.io: say what the machine should do, and Jasper drafts and tests it.

The job, start to finishNo site visit, no subcontractor

You type: The saws' running signal is on input 1 and the fan overload on input 2. A 10 kPa duct pressure sensor is on 4-20 mA input 1. Run the extraction fan on output 1 for five minutes after the saws stop.

  1. Describe it

    In plain words, from the office.

    Run the extraction fan for five minutes after the saws stop.

  2. Check it

    Jasper drafts the change and tests it.

    Test passedOverload and timer.

  3. Approve it

    The panel is in service, so Jasper's change waits until you approve it.

    Approved by you, 10:14. On record.

  4. Keep an eye on it

    The panel's own screen, from the office or the road.

What you getFrom the office or the road

No training needed
Tested before it runs
Say what the panel should do in plain words. Jasper drafts the logic and tests his changes first. Once the panel is commissioned, nothing already running changes until a person approves it.
Eyes on the panel from anywhere
Email when it trips
Open your panel's own screen from the office or the road, and see live values and logs right in JasperX. On Pro and Premium, set notification emails to send when the machine raises an alarm you've chosen to watch.

QuestionsWhat installers ask first

What if the internet drops?
Keeps running
The panel keeps running. The controller runs on its own, and the panel's screen stays on site.
Is it safe to let an AI near the panel?
You approve
Jasper drafts; once a machine is commissioned, nothing already running changes until a person approves it. Safety stays in your E-stops, your interlocks and the logic you sign off.

JasperMate is working very well and we're very happy with it. It's been performing well for us since installation. Great product.

Anthony Duck, Manager, Dust Suppression Systems, PHN Industries

JasperMate has changed our approach to automation jobs. When a client asks for automation, our sparkie can program it in-house. It's a new revenue stream and higher margins for us.
