User Manual 1. APPLICATION S4AI module is designed to measure the standard signal (voltage, current, temperature, resistance, etc.) and to provide the measured values in a digital form via the MODBUS protocol. Input signals are divided into two groups of two inputs which are insulated with each other. RS485 interface and USB are isolated from the input, output signals and from the power supply.
S4AI-07 User Manual 3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL SAFETY Meaning of the symbols used in this manual: Warning! Warning of potentially dangerous situations. It is especially important to read and understand these instructions before connecting the device. Failure to meet the instructions marked with this symbol can result in a serious injury of personnel and damage to the device.
S4AI-07 User Manual 4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Installation The RE62 controller is adapted for installation in a modular installation switchgears on a 35 mm support rail. The housing is made of plastic. Housing dimensions are 53 x 110 x 60.5 mm. Detachable terminal blocks located outside the module allow for connection of power supply, RS482 interface and outputs, with conductors of cross section up to 2.5 mm...
Connections the module are shown in Fig. 3. In the event when the module is powered with DC voltage, the voltage polarity does not matter.

User Manual 6.3 Map of S4AI module registers In S4AI module the data is placed in 16- and 32-bit registers. Process variables and operating parameters of the module are placed in the areas of register groups depending on the type of the variable. The values of the 16-bit registers are arranged in the order from the least significant bit to the most significant bit (b0-b15).
