Module Installation/Disassembly
Installation
- Align the red arrow on the side of the module to the arrow on the DIN rail.
- Press the module down and the metal clamp will slide (thanks to its spring mechanism) and grab on the other side of the DIN rail. Continue to push down until the metal clamp “clicks”.
*Note: Make sure the red arrows on the module and the rail are pointing the same direction.
Removal
- Use a screwdriver to pull the metal hook sideways and detach the module from the DIN rail.
- Remove all modules from the DIN rail in reverse order of installation.

Digital Input Module Control Register Description
Digital Input Module Register Communication Method
- Use Modbus RTU/ASCII to read single-chip digital input module registers The address for the digital input module register to be read is: 0x1000
- With no control module, RS485’s physical wire must be connected with an adapter to send the signal to the Dinkle Bus
- The configuration that uses Modbus RTU/ASCII to read single-chip digital input module registers is listed below:

Use Modbus RTU/ASCII with control modules to read single-chip analog input module registers
Once a digital input module is set up with a control module, it will automatically assign digital input modules’ input records register at 0x1000. If there are multiple registers, they will be assigned addresses based on the module station number.
Example
Two digital input module registers will at 0x1000 and 0x1001
- When using control modules, RS485 can connect to control modules with 0170-0101.
