DM-108 User Manual 1. Abbreviations UART – A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is a type of “asynchronous receiver/transmitter,” a part of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with communication standards such as EIA RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Records (UARTx) on top of the enclosure are also used as the serial interface number.
DM-108 User Manual 2. Preface Symbols International electrical symbol list. Some or all symbols can be used on device marking or in this user manual. Symbol Explanation With the CE marking on a product the manufacturer ensures that the product conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives.
VCC terminal. Important: In idle state, the DM-108 consumes around 170 mW. When the radio is transmitting there will be peaks of 700mW, so the power supply must be within these limits for a correct performance. Pulse input. The positive pole will be connected to Pulse+ terminal, and the negative to Pulse- terminal.
Once the USB driver is installed, run the device configuration tool software. Select the connection type AdvanticSys Programmer and the appropriate COM port. Press Connect button to establish communication with the device. If the COM port is not busy, the button text changes to DISCONNECT and the back-colour to pink.
DM-108 User Manual • Scan checked. When the Scan option is selected, you can search for a range of Modbus IDs. To view a specific device, enter its Modbus ID in both the From ID and To ID fields. To search for all possible Modbus devices on the network, set the range from 1 to 247. Keep in mind that this may take considerable time, depending on the Modbus timeout setting.

DM-108 User Manual 10. RS485 Configuration The RS485 port can be configured with the following options: Baud Rate: Selectable between 2400 and 19200 bps. ▪ Parity: Options include None, Odd, or Even. ▪ ▪ Data Bits: Choose between 7 or 8 bits.
4. Wireless Modbus network topology To set up a wireless MODBUS network using the DM-108, you must configure one DM-108 as the Coordinator and the others as Endpoints. The MODBUS Master should be connected to the Coordinator, which serves as a wireless bridge to the other Modbus slaves connected to the Endpoints.

Master and the connected Slaves without requiring any specific intervention or additional configuration. There is no need to send any direct Modbus requests to the DM-108 devices themselves, as their primary function is to facilitate communication within the network. The Coordinator automatically handles routing and any necessary wireless hops, ensuring that the Modbus Master interacts with the Slaves as if they were directly connected via a wired network.
