Technical Description

Operation

The concentrator can receive and count signals of max. 16 connected devices and stores them into the non-volatile Flash memory (against power outages for saving the register values into the memory). External devices can read counter registers over Modbus protocol (up to 254 devices, where max. 4064 endpoint can be quieried) via the RS485 connection.
The module is writing the data to the RS485 BUS, where an external connected modem or router can receive the data and transmit via cellular network to the data center.
The operation status of the digital module is signed on LED signals.

Input modes – wiring

You can choose between different input modes at wiring. The following examples show possible operation modes for the left DI1-DI10 inputs. You can continue wiring of opposite right DI11-DI16 inputs – the same way as it has been described.

Dry (contact) inputs:

1. According to the chapter 1.8 set the internal jumper to DRY mode.
2. Wire the cables to the required inputs and close the cable with the DGND (common grounding).
3. The device will be continuously counting the input changes.

Wet (voltage) input:

1. According to the chapter 1.8 set the internal jumper to WET mode.
2. Wire the cables to the required inputs
3. In case of using DI1-DI8 wire 24V DC power to the Vcc1 input.
4. In case of using DI9-DI16 wire 24V DC power to the Vcc2 input.
5. A common ground is necessary to wire for the inputs.
6. The device will be continuously counting the input changes.

Open collector input:

1. Wire the required inputs in the way, that wire 24V DC power to the positive (+) side (in case of DI1-DI8 to the Vcc1 power input / in case of DI9-DI16 to the Vcc2 power input).
2. Connect the input to the negative (-) wire, according to the next figure.
3. Every other inputs should be connected to the common negative (-) wire, according to the next figure.

Input modes – jumpering

You can choose between different input modes – DRY (contact) or WET (voltage) – during the usage. The operation modes of the inputs can be triggered by internal jumpers – independently for the left DI1-DI8 inputs (by the upper JP1 jumper) or at the right DI9-DI16 inputs (by the lower JP2 jumper).

1. To put the jumpers to their right position, first you have to turn off the device to see the bottom side of the blue enclosure.
2. Then unscrew the 2 fixation screws of the casing and turn back the casing. Then remove the blue top cover.
3. Find the JP1 jumper (for DI1-DI8 input modes) or JP2 jumper (for DI9-DI16).
4. Do the jumpering on JP1 jumper and / or JP2 jumper, according to the needs. WET (voltage input mode) / DRY (contact input mode) jumper (JP1): for DI1-DI8 inputs
5. Assembly the casing and use the backside screws to fix back the enclosure top cover.

Installation steps

1. Install the module on the site. Mount and fix the concentrator enclosure by surface mount.
2. Disassembly the device according to the Chapter 1.8 and do the jumper settings.
3. Release the terminal block screws at the input side.
4. Wire the required inputs DI1..DI16 by blanked wires according the needs – see the Chapter 1.7 and the wiring description of Chapter 1.4
5. Fasten the input wire screws by a screwdriver on the terminal block.
6. Don’t forget to wire the common grounding (DGND – in case of contact mode /other grounding in case of other input mode).
7. Fasten the wire screws by a screwdriver on the terminal block.
8. Connect the RS485 output to the external Modbus devices or modem / router (wired or cellular) by following wiring description of Chapter 1.4
9. Connect the 24V power source to the 24V and GND pins (according to the wiring pinout of Chapter 1.4).
10. The red HEART LED will sign the presence power source on the device, while it will start its operation.
11. You can configure the device by the IO/RS485 TERM (configuration software) or by another Modbus compatible software.

Configuration

1. Connect the M2M IO/RS485 CONCENTRATOR device serial port to your computer serial or USB interface and power up the concentrator module.

2. After connecting the inputs, turn on the concentrator devices by adding the 24V power to the device.

3. The IO/RS485 TERM® configuration tool can be downloaded from our website or by using the following link:
   https://www.m2mserver.com/m2m-downloads/IO_RS485_TERM_v1_1.zip

4. Extract the file to a directory on a Windows® operation system computer and execute the software by the executable IO_RS485_TERM.exe file.

10. The Input states can be seen for inputs DI1-D16. The counter values of inputs are continuously read out, which are appearing and refreshing by every second.

11. Modify or change the Device address (by default it is 254) and setup the RS485 Baudrate (which uses the 19 200 baud speed rate by default but it can be also configured between 1 200 and 115 200 baud).
    Important! After changing the RS485 baudrate, sometimes you should reset the input counters. This can be done by enabling the Input counter set and choose the Input interval column’s FROM input value to DI1 and for the TO choose the value DI16. For Value entry fill 0. Push to the Write registers button.

12. The Response delay field means the delay interval after sending the response to the device, which will wait the declared time interval (in msec) until sending a response.

13. At the Register write part, the listed registers can be configured as well. You can also configure more registers in one step. You should just check the required fields by their checkbox and adding values, than push to the Write registers button. The write to the device is processing (check the upper progress indicator). At the end of the write the device will be notify by the Write successful or Write failed message.

14. For writing the input registers, enable the Input counter set and choose the Input interval column’s FROM input value (DI1-DI16) and the TO (DI9-DI16). Add the Value entry also. Push to the Write registers button.
    The required value will be written to the device. At the end of the write the device will be notify by the Write successful or Write failed message.If value “0” is written to an input register, then the input counter will be reseted.

15. At the left edge of the screen, you will found the Communication log part where the logged last 100 entries and values, activities are presented and recorded.

16. Further messages are logged into a log file – which can be found in the same directory, where you’ve started the configuration software.
