By: David Bowdler
Updated: April 12, 2026
Version: 1.10
Global Cache iTach CC Control Driver
IP control of Global Cache iTach IP2CC contact closure modules over TCP. Supports up to 8 units for a total of 24 relay outputs. Perfect for gates, garage doors, projection screens, blinds and any device controlled by contact closure.
Key Features
- Multi-Unit: Up to 8 iTach IP2CC units (24 relays total)
- Relay Control: Open, Close, Toggle per relay
- Custom Naming: Name each unit and relay for easy identification in macros
- Real-Time Feedback: Relay state (open/closed) with per-relay events
- Auto-Reconnect: Persistent TCP connections with automatic recovery
- Configurable Polling: 5–300 second intervals for state monitoring
- Instant UI Update: Optimistic feedback on relay commands for responsive control
Use Cases
- Gates and garage doors
- Projection screens and lifts
- Motorised blinds and curtains
- Lighting relays
- Equipment power switching
Compatible Hardware
- Global Cache iTach IP2CC (3 relays per unit)
- RTI XP-8 processor (runtime 24+)
- TCP/IP connection (port 4998)
How It Works
The driver maintains persistent TCP connections to each iTach IP2CC unit on port 4998. Relay commands are sent instantly with optimistic UI feedback. State is verified via configurable polling. Each unit and relay can be custom-named so functions appear clearly in the Integration Designer macro editor.

Network Requirements
iTach IP2CC devices use TCP port 4998
Ensure the XP processor can reach the iTach devices on your network
Static IP addresses are recommended for iTach devices
Troubleshooting
Unit shows offline:
Verify the IP address is correct
Ensure the iTach device is powered on and connected to the network
Check that port 4998 is not blocked by a firewall
Try pinging the iTach from a computer on the same network
Relay commands not working:
Enable Debug Logging and check TraceView for errors
Verify the iTach is responding (check Online status)
Ensure relay wiring is correct on the iTach device
Check that your licence key is valid (trial may have expired)
