Device preparation
The following table lists the items required for this test:

Device connection

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. Its function is to match the bus impedance and improve the anti- interference and reliability of data communication.

AI analog input connection

DI switch input connection

Relay output connection

Product Function Introduction

DI Input

Switch Input DI Collection
The switch input DI measures level signals or edge pulse signals (rising edge, falling edge). Support dry contact collection, support DI counting function, the maximum counting value is 65535 (the count exceeding 65535 is auto- matically cleared).
The switch input DI supports three trigger modes: rising edge, falling edge, and level (default rising edge trigger).
The clearing method supports automatic clearing and manual clearing (default automatic clearing).

Input filtering
When the switch inputs DI to collect signals, it needs to maintain multiple sampling periods before confirming. Filter parameters can be set in the range of 1 to 16 (default 6 sampling periods, 6*1 kHz).
It can be configured with the host computer through instructions.

AI Input
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 :
AI configuration instructions

1. The AI sampling range of each channel can be set. When the AI channel sampling range is configured as 4 – 20 mA sampling, if the current signal is lower than 3.5 mA, it will be displayed as 0, and if it is higher than 3.5 mA and lower than 4 mA, it will be displayed as 4. There is no conversion limit for signals greater than 20 mA, but it cannot exceed 25 mA (there is a risk of equipment damage if it exceeds 25 mA).
2. The starting address of the AI channel sampling range parameter is 0x04B2, the register type is a holding register, and the function codes are 0x06 and 0x10. When writing AI channel sampling range parameters, if the written parameter value is not within the range of 0 to 1, it will automatically take the closest value and write it in. If the sampling range parameter is 2, the device will take 1 as the sampling range parameter. And Modbus does not return error commands.

Trigger mode

1. Not trigger: mode off.
2. Rising trigger: When the AI input value becomes greater than the set AI trigger high value, the AI trigger is high (that is, the output state is 1), and a rising edge trigger is generated. After triggering, as long as the AI value is not lower than the set AI trigger low value, the current output value is always 1 (can be matched with DO linkage).
3. Falling trigger: When the AI input value becomes less than the set AI trigger low value, the AI trigger is low (that is, the output state is 0), and a falling edge trigger is generated. After triggering, as long as the AI value is not higher than the set AI trigger high value, the current output value is always 0 (can be matched with DO linkage).
4. Bilateral trigger: When the AI input value becomes greater than the set AI trigger high value, the AI trigger is high (that is, the output state is 1), and a rising edge trigger is generated. After triggering, as long as the AI value is not lower than the set AI trigger low value, the current output value is always 1; when the AI input value becomes smaller than the set AI trigger low value, the AI trigger is low (that is, the output state is 0) , generating a falling edge trigger. After triggering, as long as the AI value is not higher than the set AI trigger high value, the current output value is always 0 (can be matched with DO linkage).

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. The value returned by this method represents one channel per register, and the value read is 0 to 25000. The method of calculating the current size is 0 – 25000 corresponding to 0 – 25 mA.
   That is:
   Current = engineering value / 1000 (mA)

2. Read the floating-point value of the AI engineering quantity, and use the IEE754 conversion tool to convert the hexadecimal data into a floating-point number to obtain the input current. The starting address of the AI engineering quantity shaping value register is 0x00C8, the register type is an input register, and the read function code is 0x04. This method returns two registers representing 1 channel.

AI filter parameters
You can set the filter parameters of the AI channel, the effective value is 1 to 16, and the default value is 6.
Description of filter parameters:

1.  All AI channels share a filter parameter. The higher the parameter value, the more stable the output value and the slower the response.
2. The AI channel filter parameter address is 0x04B0, and the register type is a holding register. Function code 0x06, 0x10.
3. When writing AI filter parameters, if the written parameter value is not within the range of 1 to 16, it will automatically take the closest value and write it in. If the filter parameter is written as 0, the device will take 1 as the filter parameter, and Modbus does not return error commands.

DO output
Relay output mode: output different mode output according to the mode set by the user, and the level output is turned on by default.

Input count
Support counting DI input, users can configure rising edge acquisition, falling edge acquisition, and level acquisition according to their own needs. You can also change the clearing method according to your needs.

Trigger method:
Rising edge: When the rising edge is collected (it is not counted when it is turned on, it is counted when it is turned off), it will be counted once.
Falling edge: When the falling edge is collected (counting when it is turned on, and not counting when it is released), count once.
Level: Two edges are collected and counted once respectively.

1. Clearing method:
   Automatic: The device will automatically clear each time the DI count value register 0x09DF to 0x09E6 is read.
   Manual: In manual mode, it is necessary to write 1 to the clear signal register 0x0AA7 to 0x0AAE, and each holding register controls one clear signal.

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.

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). The pulse width setting range is 50 to 65535 ms (50 ms by default).

4. Follow mode
   According to the follow source configured by the user (when the device has AI acquisition or DI detection function, both DI or AI can be used as the follow source, otherwise this function is useless) to change the relay state, and multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output. To put it simply, DI detects the input, and automatically outputs a relay that uses it as a follow source (for example: DI is 1, DO is closed). When the follow mode is turned on, the follow source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by default.

5. Reverse follow mode
   According to the follow source configured by the user (when the device has AI acquisition or DI detection function, both DI or AI can be used as the follow source, otherwise this function is useless) to change the relay state, and multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output. To put it simply, DI detects the input, and automatically outputs the relay that follows it as the source (for example: DI is 1, DO is disconnected). When the follow mode is turned on, the follow source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by default.

6. Trigger toggle mode
   According to the follow source configured by the user (when the device has AI acquisition or DI detection function, both DI or AI can be used as the follow source, otherwise this function is useless) to change the relay state, and multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output. Simply put, when DI generates a trigger signal (rising edge or falling edge), DO will have a state change. When the trigger flip mode is turned on, the following source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by default.

7. Power-on state
   According to the state set by the user. After the device is powered on, the output relay is turned on according to the state set by the user, and it is turned off by default.

8. Modbus Gateway
   The device can transparently transmit non-native Modbus commands from the network/serial port to the serial port/network, and the local Modbus commands are directly executed.

9. Modbus TCP/RTU protocol conversion
   After it is turned on, the Modbus TCP data on the network side will be converted to Modbus RTU data.

10. Modbus Address Filtering
    This function can be used when some host software or configuration screen is used as the host to access the serial port of the device, and the gateway function of the device is used, the slave is at the network end, and the Modbus TCP to RTU function is turned on. Multiple slaves on the bus may cause data confusion. At this time, enabling address filtering can ensure that only the specified address can pass through the device; when the parameter is 0, the data will be transparently transmitted; when the parameter is 1 to 255, only the set slave machine address data.

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 communication to distinguish different communication data messages.
Protocol identifier: 00 00 means Modbus TCP protocol.
Length: Indicates the length of the next data in bytes. Example: get DI status

segment

Modbus RTU protocol data frame description
RTU frame format:

Device address| Function code| Data segment| Check code CRC
---|---|---|---
1 Bit| 1 Bit| N Bit| 2 Bit

Example: get DI status command

O linkage function
The linkage function is divided into AI-DO linkage and DI-DO linkage. Generally speaking, the linkage function needs to be divided into two parts. The first part is the trigger source: that is, AI/DI input, and the second part is the trigger: that is, DO/AO output.

1. When DI is used as the trigger source, DI input status and DI changes can be used as signals, according to the corresponding configuration of DO:
   • In follow/reverse follow mode, the current state of DI will be used as a signal, and the states of DO and DI are the same/opposite;
   • Trigger inversion mode, DI state change is used as a signal, if the trigger signal is set to DI rising edge change, the current state of DO will change once.
2. When AI is used as the trigger source, the AI signal is processed into a signal similar to DI through a process similar to Schmitt trigger, and then this signal is linked with DO. The linkage process can refer to DI/ DO linkage.

Active upload
The device supports the function of uploading analog input values at regular intervals. Setting the value of the corresponding 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. Devices with analog input will report the status of analog input according to the configured active upload time period (the configuration period is 1 to 65535).
When it is set to 0, the upload is disabled; if it is set to other positive integer value N, the upload will be performed at intervals of N seconds.

Note:
The device can only be valid if it is configured in client mode, and the register value is non-zero to enable active upload.

Examples of Modbus command operation instructions

1. Read coil (DO) status
   Use the read coil state (01) function code to read the output coil state, for example:

After sending the above command to the device through the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

code

The status data 01 returned above indicates that the output DO1 is turned on.

1.  Control coil (DO) state
   Support operation of single coil (05), operation of multiple coils (0F) function code operation.

Use the 05 command to write a single command, for example:

Close: 00 00

| CRC check code

After sending the above command to the device through the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

check code

The DO1 coil is turned on.

Use 0F function code as the command to write multiple coils, for example:

After sending the above command to the device through the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

code

The coils are all on.

1. Read the holding register

Use 03 function code to read one or more register values, for example:

After sending the above command to the device through the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

The above 00 00 means that DO1 is in level output mode.

Operation holding register
Support operation of single register (06), operation of multiple registers (10) function code operation
.Use 06 function code to write a single holding register, for example: set the working mode of DO1 to pulse mode:

After sending the above command to the device through the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

If the modification is successful, the data in the 0x0578 register is 0x0001, and the pulse output mode is turned on.
Use function code 10 to write multiple holding register commands, for example: set the working mode of DO1 and DO2 at the same time.

01| 10| 05 78| 00 02| 04| 00 01 00 01| 5A 7D
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Modbus address| Function code| Register head address| Number of registers| Number of bytes of written data| Written data| CRC check code
01| 06| 05 78| 00 02| C1 1D
---|---|---|---|---
Modbus address| Function code| Register address| Number of registers| CRC check code

If the modification is successful, the values of the two consecutive registers starting with 0x0578 are 0x0001 and 0x0001 respectively, marking DO1 and DO2 to enable pulse output.

Configuration Software

Acquisition and Control

1. Step 1: Connect the device to the configuration software.
2.  You can configure the device by selecting the interface (serial port/network port); if you choose the network port, you must first select the network card and then search for the device.
3. If you choose a serial port, you need to select the corresponding serial port number, and the same baud rate, data bit, stop bit, parity bit and address segment search range as the device, and then search.
4. Step 2: Select the corresponding device.
5. Step 3: Click the device online to enter the IO monitoring. The following is the IO monitoring screen display.

Parameter configuration interface

1. Step 1: Connect the device refer to “Acquisition and Control”.
2. Step 2: You can configure device parameters, network parameters, DI parameters, AI parameters, DO parameters, and AO parameters (for example: if the device has no AO function, the AO parameters cannot be configured)
3. Step 3: After configuring the parameters, click Download Parameters. After the prompt message in the log output shows that the parameters are saved successfully, click Restart the device. After the device restarts, the modified parameters will take effect.
