4/17/2019 1 INTRODUCTION IOmod 8DI8DO is a small size stand-alone Modbus RTU or IEC 60870-5-103 digital input and digital output controller (protocol depends on firmware). IOmod can be used for industrial applications, where digital signalling is used and robust communication is needed. IOmod is an ideal solution for applications such as data acquisition, control, process monitoring at remote places.
When grouped, second pin in the pair is not used anymore – all requests for this pin generate an error. For example – OUT1 and OUT2 can be grouped, after that OUT2 is not V1.1 | ELSETA | Operational information...

Now, General interrogation will be composed of 7 output states (with OUT2 missing), and 7 input states (with IN4 missing). Output and input numbers is represented by “Info number” in protocol. V1.1 | ELSETA | Operational information...
1s. When user sends ON command, OUT2 is pulsed for 1s, and relay is set. This will connect NO contact and IN2 will turn on (assuming it is not inverted). When user sends OFF command, OUT1 is pulsed, and relay is reset, turning IN1 on. V1.1 | ELSETA | Operational information...
“Remote Operation”. If inputs are never turned on or off, device will send “Remote Operation” message after time-out period, with current input statuses. Time-out period is configured by user as a Feedback Time. V1.1 | ELSETA | Operational information...
Output address (Function type) 128, and output number (Info number). Fig. 3.6 shows 1 output command sent and “CMD ACK” response received. Fig. 3.7 shows first 4 Outputs and last 4 Inputs grouped (notice the order of info numbers). V1.1 | ELSETA | Testing with “THE VINCI” software...

Electrical specifications 8 x 2kV RMS (1 minute) isolated 12-24VDC; Inputs Selectable inversion. 8 x 3kV isolated open collector outputs (300mA Outputs each, Max 50V); Power Power Supply 9V to 33V Current consumption 70 mA V1.1 | ELSETA | Technical information...
Fig. 5.1. Typical device connection diagram IOmod 8DI8DO has 1/8 Unit load receiver which allows to have up to 256 units on line (compared to standard 32 units). To reduce reflections, keep the stubs (cable distance from main RS485 bus line) as short as possible when connecting device.
Fig. 5.3. Configuration with pull-ups and software input inversion on input pins 5.3 IOmod 8DI8DO OUTPUTS IOmod 8DI8DO has 8 open collector digital outputs. Internal clamp diodes are connected to each output which makes IOmod 8DI8DO ideal for driving inductive loads like relays. Maximum 300mA per output is allowed.

Input (Fig.6.7) and output grouping screen show the connection between neighbour pins. Straight pins show that input or outputs are not grouped. Grouped inputs or outputs contain fold slashes in direction of another pin in the pair. Fig. 6.7. Input grouping screen V1.1 | ELSETA | Configuration over USB...
