ModBUS CONNECTION RULES

1. Install the modules in the DIN rail (120 max)
2. Connect the remote modules using cables of an appropriate The following table shows cable length data:
3. Bus length: maximum length of the Modbus network according to the Baud Rate. This is the length of the cables that connect the two farthest modules (see Diagram 1).
4. Derivation length: maximum length of a derivation 2 m (see Diagram 1).

For maximum performance, it is recommended to use special shielded cables, such as BELDEN 9841

IDC10 CONNECTOR

Power supply and Modbus interface are available using the Seneca DIN rail bus, via the IDC10 rear connector, or the Z-PC-DINAL2-17.5 accessory.

Rear Connector (IDC 10)
The meaning of the various pins on the IDC10 connector is shown in the figure if you wish to supply signals directly via it.

SETTING THE DIP-SWITCHES

The position of the DIP-switches defines the Modbus communication parameters of the module: Address and Baud Rate The following table shows the values of the Baud Rate and the Address according to the setting of the DIP-switches:

Note: When DIP switches 3 to 8 are OFF, the communication settings are taken from programming (EEPROM).
Note 2: The RS485 line must be terminated only at the ends of the communication line.
The settings of the dip-switches must be compatible with the settings on the registers.
The description of the registers is available in the USER MANUAL.

ANALOGUE INPUT SETTING VIA DIP-SWITCH:
DIP-Switch SW2 defines the type of input for each individual channel. Channels 1 to 4 can be set in current or voltage.
For the settings, refer to the SW2 table on the side.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Power supply
The upper limits must not be exceeded as this can seriously damage the module. If the power supply source is not protected against overload, a safety fuse with a 2.5A max permissible value must be installed in the power supply line.

ModBus RS485
Connection for RS485 communication using the MODBUS master system as an alternative to the Z-PC-DINx bus.
N.B. The indication of the RS485 connection polarity is not standardised and in some devices may be inverted.

INPUTS

• A) Voltage input with sensor supply from the MODULE (13 Vdc)
• B) Voltage input with sensor supply NOT coming from the MODULE
• C) Current input with sensor supply NOT coming from the MODULE
• D) Current input with sensor supply from the MODULE (13 Vdc)
• E) Current input with EXTERNAL sensor supply

ATTENTION
The upper power supply limits must not be exceeded, as this might cause serious damage to the module. Switch the mod-ule off before connecting inputs and outputs.
To meet the electromagnetic immunity requirements:

• use shielded signal cables;
• connect the shield to a preferential instrumentation earth system;
• separate shielded cables from other cables used for power installations (inverters, motors, induction ovens, etc…).
• make sure that the module is not supplied with a supply voltage higher than that indicated in the technical specifications in order not to damage it.
