IOMOD 4RTD User Manual Modbus
Introduction
IOMOD 4RTD is used for temperature data monitoring over Modbus or IEC-60870-103 using resistance temperature
detector (RTD) platinum sensors. Up to 4 RTD temperature sensors can be connected at once.
Features
● Temperature sense with ±0.5 °C accuracy over all operating conditions;
● Selectable PT100 ar PT1000 RTD temperature sensor for every channel (2, 3 or 4 wire);
● 2.5kV(rms) isolated RTD inputs;
● Configurable temperature and sensors' fault detection for every channel;
● Temperature sensing range from -200 up to 800 °C when using platinum RTD sensors;
● Configurable Modbus or IEC-60870-103 settings: Slave ID, baud rate, parity and stop bits, RS485 terminating
resistor, etc.
● Firmware upgrade over USB.
Operational Information
IOMOD uses Modbus (RTU) or IEC-60870-103 protocols over RS485 connection, which can be used for cable lengths up
to 1500 meters and connect up to 30 devices on one line. Default Modbus and IEC-60870-103 settings are: 9600
bauds/s baudrate, 8N1, Slave (Link) address - 1.
To read temperature using Modbus (RTU) protocol user can use device with default settings without configuring it. To
read temperature from RTD sensor, send 04 Modbus command (Read Input Registers) with resolution of two registers
from 0 to 7. Odd numbers represent least significant words, even numbers represent most significant words. For
example, to read temperature measured by first RTD, read register 0 and 1, where register 0 is least significant word.
Two words read by Modbus represent a float type (IEEE-754 compatible) variable.
For further information regarding setting temperature parameters and configurable options please refer to table shown
below, also supported MODBUS functions described in paragraphs described below.

    Supported MODBUS functions 01 (0x01) Read Coil Status Used to read fault flags. Fault is implemented as high logic level if any configured fault has occurred, zero otherwise. Fault flags are cleared automatically if possible. 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers May be used to read holding registers containing temperature limits defined by user in degrees Celsius, fault mask register.

    Fig. 5.3. RTD sensor colour codes IOmod 4RTD accepts 2-wire, 3-wire or 4-wire connection types of RTD sensors (PT100, PT1000). Firstly, select a sensor type (PT100 or PT1000) using a USB terminal. Secondly, use the following instructions depending on the number of wires of a selected RTD sensor.
