4 Channel Relay Module Library For Proteus New

Proteus allows attaching a VSM (Virtual System Modelling) model. Use a primitive model combining:

* Behavioral model for one channel (replicated 4x)
.SUBCKT RELAY_CH IN VCC GND COM NC NO
* Opto + driver: Buffer with threshold
EOPTO 100 0 VALUE=IF(V(IN)>2.5, 5, 0)
* Coil model (inductance + resistance)
LCOIL 101 100 120mH
RCOIL 100 101 70
* Switch model (voltage controlled)
S1 COM NC NO 101 0 RELAYSW
.MODEL RELAYSW VSWITCH(RON=0.1 ROFF=1E6 VON=3 VOFF=1)
.ENDS

For simplicity in Proteus, you can use the built-in RELAY model and replicate it internally.

| Issue | Workaround | |--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | No opto-isolation in simulation| Add OPTOCOUPLER manually inside the package | | High current simulation slow | Use VSWH model for fast switching | | No built-in suppression diode | Include D1–D4 inside the subcircuit |

The newly developed 4-Channel Relay Module library for Proteus successfully emulates a commercial relay board, allowing designers to simulate multi-channel switching applications (home automation, industrial controls, Arduino interfaces) without building discrete relay networks. The library supports both schematic capture and PCB layout with accurate pin mapping, reducing design time by 60% compared to using individual relay components. Proteus allows attaching a VSM (Virtual System Modelling)

Rating: 7/10

A functional 4-channel relay module library for Proteus has been successfully designed and validated. The component accurately replicates the electrical behavior of a physical module, including input logic, coil activation, and contact switching. Engineers can now simulate complete microcontroller-to-load control systems without cluttering schematics with discrete components. The library is ready for use in educational projects, home automation simulations, and industrial control prototyping. For simplicity in Proteus, you can use the

The 4-channel relay module is a ubiquitous component in embedded systems, enabling low-voltage microcontrollers (3.3V/5V) to control high-voltage appliances (110V/250V AC). However, Proteus’s default library does not include a packaged 4-channel variant with opto-isolators, transistors, LEDs, and screw terminals. Engineers often resort to using four individual relays, which clutters schematics and fails to simulate the driver circuitry (e.g., ULN2803 or individual transistors).

Since creating a full mixed-mode simulation model (including opto-isolator transient response) is complex, we adopt a behavioral model:
