(eg: supply voltage, temperature, maximum power consumption)
•Before making any modifications to wiring connections, turn off the power supply
2. Module Features
2.1. Purpose and description of the module
8AI module allows measurement of voltages and currents. Values are read via
RS485 (Modbus), so we can easily integrate the module with popular PLCs, HMI or PC
equipped with the appropriate adapter.
The device has a set of 8 analog input measurements. In addition, the module is
equipped with 2 configurable digital outputs.
This module is connected to the RS485 bus with twisted-pair wire.
Communication is via MODBUS RTU or MODBUS ASCII. The use of 32-bit ARM
core processor provides fast processing and quick communication. The baud rate is
configurable from 2400 to 115200.
The module is designed for mounting on a DI rail in accordance with
DI E 5002.
The module is equipped with a set of LEDs used to indicate the status of inputs
and outputs useful for diagnostic purposes and helping to find errors.
Module configuration is done via USB by using a dedicated computer program.
You can also change the parameters using the MODBUS protocol.

3. Communication configuration
3.1. Grounding and shielding
In most cases, IO modules will be installed in an enclosure along with other
devices which generate electromagnetic radiation. Examples of these devices are relays
and contactors, transformers, motor controllers etc. This electromagnetic radiation can
induce electrical noise into both power and signal lines, as well as direct radiation into
the module causing negative effects on the system. Appropriate grounding, shielding
and other protective steps should be taken at the installation stage to prevent these
effects. These protective steps include control cabinet grounding, module grounding,
cable shield grounding, protective elements for electromagnetic switching devices,
correct wiring as well as consideration of cable types and their cross sections.
3.2. Network Termination
Transmission line effects often present a problem on data communication
networks. These problems include reflections and signal attenuation.
To eliminate the presence of reflections from the end of the cable, the cable must
be terminated at both ends with a resistor across the line equal to its characteristic
impedance. Both ends must be terminated since the direction of propagation is bi-
directional. In the case of an RS485 twisted pair cable this termination is typically
120 Ω.
3.3. Setting Module ddress in RS485 Modbus Network
The following table shows how to set switch to determine the address of the
module. The module address is set with the switches in the range of 0 to 31. Addresses
From 32 to 255 can by set via RS485 or USB.
