Description of the connection diagram

  1. Power connection
  • Terminal: +V and GND
  • Source: Stabilized 12V (24V) DC power supply
    (see Figure 2.)
  1. RS485 interface connection (Modbus RTU)
  • Terminals: A+, B-.
  • Topology: Linear bus (not star).
  • Number of connectable devices: up to 32
  • Terminators: At the end of the physical bus (the last device in the line), a terminating resistor (usually 120 ohms) must be installed between terminals A+ and B-.
  1. Connecting analog inputs (I1-I4 and V1-V4)
  • Terminals: For each channel: Ix and Vx (signal) and GND - common for analog inputs.
  • For sensors with current output (4-20 mA):
    • (+) sensor --> Ix module.
    • (-) sensor --> module GND.
  • For sensors with voltage (0-12V) (0-24V):
    • (+) sensor output --> module Vx.
    • (-) sensor output --> module GND.
      (see Figure 2.)
  1. Connecting digital inputs (IN1 - IN8)
  • Terminals: INx and common GND.
  • «Dry contactконтакта connection (button, limit switch):
    • One button contact --> INx.
    • Second button contact --> GNDI.
