The SignalFire Modbus Multi I/O Module has the following features: Standard Modbus RTU server device Can be read with a SignalFire Modbus Stick or another Modbus client 8 analog inputs (0-20mA or 0-5V) 6 digital inputs (state, counter, and frequency up to 2kHz)
(excludes current for attached analog sensors) Operating Temp -40°C to +80°C Analog Inputs 0-10V Max Digital Inputs Dry Contact or 30 Volts Max Modbus Comm Modbus RTU Server Relay Rating 30 VDC @ 2 Amps 250 VAC @ 0.25 Amps Rev 1.8 SignalFire Telemetry...
The Modbus Multi I/O has a green status LED which blinks indicating the module is running. In addition there are TX/RX LEDs to indicate RS485 messages to/from the Modbus Client. Each relay output also has a green LED which turns on while the relay is energized. Rev 1.8 SignalFire Telemetry...

SignalFire Toolkit Configuration Connect to the internal 4-pin connection using a SignalFire USB adapter cable. The module will be auto-detected by the Toolkit. If the module is running “Multi IO System” firmware it must be loaded with the “Modbus Multi IO Module” to support Modbus functionality.
Operation The SignalFire Modbus Multi I/O Module is intended to be used as a Modbus interfaced analog and digital input/output (I/O) unit. It allows the user to interface to a variety of sensor or control devices from a single Modbus port. It is DIN rail mounted and designed to be easy to use.

DIP switch or via software. If the DIP switch is set to zero then the Server ID must be configured in software using either the SignalFire Toolkit or a Modbus write. The DIP switch must be set to 0 to be configured with the SignalFire Toolkit.

250 VAC @ 0.25 Amps Relay Failsafe Timers The MIOM supports a configurable failsafe timer which is used to de-energize selected relays in event of a communication failure. Relay Message Failsafe Timer – This timer is reset anytime a coil write for any Modbus relay coil write is received.

03, 04, 06, 16 Relay Control Logic The Modbus MIOM supports local relay control logic if it is running firmware version r7 or later. The logic is similar to the RSD control logic in the SignalFire Gateway. Note: If more than one rule is assigned to the same Output Relay, then all of the rules must meet the energize condition for the relay to be energized.
