To simulate switching behavior:
* Subcircuit for 4-Channel Relay Module
.SUBCKT RELAY_4CH_MODULE IN1 IN2 IN3 IN4 VCC GND COM1 NC1 NO1 COM2 NC2 NO2 COM3 NC3 NO3 COM4 NC4 NO4
* Channel 1
R1 IN1 VCC 1K
D1 COM1 GND 1N4148
RLY1 COM1 NC1 NO1 RELAY_VIRTUAL
* Repeat for channels 2-4
.ENDS
But easier: Use Proteus’s built-in RELAY model with a DEFAULT coil resistance of 100Ω and add OPTOCOUPLER for isolation visualization.
The new 4 channel relay module library for Proteus is a pre-built, composite part that mimics the exact behavior of commercial relay boards. Key features include:
Pros:
Cons:
If you cannot find a specific "Module" part, the standard engineering practice in Proteus is to build the sub-circuit. This is often more reliable than third-party libraries.
Components Needed:
Wiring Logic (Repeat 4 times):
Solution: Check the library variant. If you are using ACTIVE_HIGH but sending a LOW signal, the relay will never turn on. Change your digitalWrite() to HIGH to activate, or switch to the ACTIVE_LOW part.
