10 Product Application Topology Diagram 10.1 Network interface application topology diagram 10.2 Serial port application topology diagram. 11 Device preparation The following table lists the items required for this test: Modbus I/O module 12V switching power supply USB to RS485 Cable computer network cable Several cables...
12 Device connection 12.1 RS485 connection Note: When the 485 bus high-frequency signal is transmitted, the signal wavelength is shorter than the transmission line, and the signal will form a reflected wave at the end of the transmission line, which will interfere with the original signal. Therefore, it is necessary to add a terminal resistor at the end of the transmission line so that the signal does not reflect after reaching the end of the transmission line. The terminal resistance should be the same as the impedance of the communication cable, the typical value is 120 ohms.
12.3 DI switch input connection 12.4 Relay output connection 12.5 Simple use Wiring: The computer is connected to the RS485 interface of Modbus I/O module through USB to RS485, A is con- nected to A, and B is connected to B. Networking: Insert the network cable into the RJ45 port and connect to the PC.
13 Parameter Configuration Step 1: Modify the IP address of the computer to be consistent with the device. Here I am modifying it to 192.168.3.100 to ensure that it is on the same network segment as the device and that the IP is different. If you cannot connect to the device after the above steps, please turn off the firewall and try again;...

Function (function code) Command Pull in the first coil (0x05) 01 05 00 00 FF 00 8C 3A Full open command (0x0F) 01 0F 00 00 00 04 01 0F 7E 92 Full close command (0x0F) 01 0F 00 00 00 04 01 00 3E 96 Read all DI status (0x02)
15.2 AI Input 15.2.1 Analog range The analog input AI measures the current signal, the acquisition range is 0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA, the precision is 3 ‰, and the resolution is 12 bits. The device adopts single-ended input, the sampling frequency is 10 Hz, and the input impedance is 100 Ohm. Set the sampling range of all AI channels, valid values are 1 and 0 (default 0). Configured as 0: means 0 - 20mA Configured as 1: means 4 - 20 mA Note:...
15.2.3 Engineering quantity shaping value and engineering quantity floating point value of analog input There are two ways to read the current signal collected by the device: (1) Read the AI engineering quantity shaping value, and directly convert to get the input current. The starting address of the AI engineering quantity shaping value register is 0x0064, the register type is an input register, and the read function code is 0x04.
15.3.2 Level output Output according to the level set by the user, the switch characteristic of the level mode is similar to the function of a self-locking switch. 15.3.3 Pulse output After the switch output DO is turned on, the switch output DO is automatically turned off after maintaining the set pulse width time (in ms).
15.4.3 Modbus TCP Protocol Data Frame Description TCP frame format: Transaction ID Protocol ID Length Device address Function code Data segment 2 Bit 2 Bit N+2 Bit 1 Bit 1 Bit N Bit Transaction ID: It can be understood as the serial number of the message. Generally, 1 is added after each com- munication to distinguish different communication data messages.
15.6 Active upload The device supports the function of uploading analog input values at regular intervals. Setting the value of the cor- responding register can control the interval time and whether to upload. Devices with digital input will actively upload once after successfully connecting to the server, and then the digital input will be uploaded following the status change.
15.8.2 Equipment parameter display interface Press the left or right button to enter the password input interface, complete the correct password input, and display the device parameter information interface (password interface: default password: 0000. Short press the middle to verify the password; The left and right buttons can switch the password bit; Up and down keys can switch the value of the current bit.
15.8.4 Screen Sleep The device screen has a sleep function, which is off by default and can be set to on in the configuration interface. In any interface, when there is no button operation for 180 seconds, the screen will enter the sleep mode. At this time, the interface displays Ebyte robot. Press any button can exit the sleep mode. When the screen is in sleep mode, the running efficiency of device programs will be improved. 15.9 MODBUS parameter configuration 15.9.1 DI Register List Register...
