4. Module Installation and Removal Instructions 4.1 Installation Align each module unit’s side with the direction indicated by the arrow, and snap it onto the upper side of the DIN rail. Once each unit is positioned, the clip automatically locks onto the rail. Figure 4.1 Module Installation Diagram ※Note: If the clip fails to engage, press the top of the clip to reset and secure it to the rail.
4.2 Removal Use a screwdriver to pull down the metal hook on the bottom of each module unit. Following the reverse order of installation, remove each module unit from the DIN rail. Figure 4.2 Module Removal Diagram...
6. Parameter Setting and Configuration Instructions 6.1 Product Assembly Configuration As shown in the image below, product configuration primarily involves couplers and I/O modules. Figure 6.1 Quantity Limit for Configuration 1. A maximum of 64 physical I/O modules can be configured on the coupler. 2.
Hardware Version: Module hardware design version Product Serial Number: Unique identifier for Daudin products As shown in Figure 6.2, all parameters (except MAC) can be configured as needed. After completing the settings, proceed to upload the parameters as shown in Figure 6.3.

Figure 6.3 Upload Parameters Before proceeding with relevant settings, the system operation must be paused.
6.3 Factory Defaults Apart from setting parameters through i-Designer, users can also reset system parameters using the reset button located inside the side casing. Press Time/Mode Application Mode Light Press (<6 Module restart (RESET) seconds) Restore default parameters Long Press (>6 seconds) Note (Application Mode)
6.4 Error Code Lookup Users can query system error information and identify timed-out physical modules via the error code module (virtual module).Once setup is complete, the error code module will automatically occupy the last three available slots. If no slots are available, the system will disregard it. Error Code Purpose Length (Word)
