4. Module Installation/Disassembly 4.1 Installation I. Align the red arrow on the side of the module to the arrow on the DIN rail. II. Press the module down and the metal clamp will slide (thanks to its spring mechanism) and grab on the other side of the DIN rail. Continue to push down until the metal clamp “clicks”.
4.2 Removal I. Use a screwdriver to pull the metal hook sideways and detach the module from the DIN rail. II. Remove all modules from the DIN rail in reverse order of installation.
5. iO-GRID M Series Introduction iO-GRID M series utilizes the standard Modbus communication protocol and supports Modbus RTU/ASCII and Modbus TCP. Please choose products and factory controllers to figure your system based on your communication protocol. 5.1 iO-GRID M Components I.

7. Control Module Register Configuration Control Module Register Assignment The control module will, based on the user’s module configuration, automatically assign each module a register address based on the modules’ functions, types (digital or analog), station number and data consumption. The registers are assigned based on the priority below: DigitalAnalogStation number Control module Register address assignment...
