Product Description
GFDO, digital output module series is specially designed for industrial applications. It’s the open-type industrial equipment which is intended for installation within enclosures supplied in the field. A digital output allows you to control a voltage with a controller. If the controller instructs the output to be high, the output will produce a voltage (about 24 volts). If the controller instructs the output to be low, its connected to ground and produces no voltage. And the circuit design & all the components of GFDO series are compliant with the latest requirements and standards of UL, CE & RoHS. It has a complete circuit protection design to resist overload, overvoltage and short circuit etc. It is avoided to damage & failure caused from improper operations.

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 Output Module Control Register Description
Digital Output Module Register Communication Method
- Use Modbus RTU/ASCII to write in single-chip digital output module registers The address for the digital output module register to be written is: 0x2000
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 write single-chip digital output module registers is listed below:Name/Product No. Description GFDO-RM01N 16-channel digital output module (sink) GFDO-RM02N 16-channel digital output module (Source) BS-210 Adapter BS-211 Adapter - Use Modbus RTU/ASCII with control modules to write in digital output registers
Once a digital output module is set up with a control module, it will automatically assign the digital output modules’ output records registers at the address of 0x2000
Example:
Two digital output module registers will at 0x2000 and 0x2001
When using control modules, RS485 can connect to control modules with 0170-0101.
The configuration that uses Modbus RTU/ASCII with a control module to write in digital output modules is listed below:
| Name/Product No. | Description |
| GFMS-RM01S | Master Modbus RTU, 1 Port |
| GFDO-RM01N | 16-channel digital output module (sink) |
| GFDO-RM02N | 16-channel digital output module (Source) |
| 0170-0101 | RS485(2W)-to-RS485(RJ45 interface) |
Digital Output Module Register Format Information (0x2000, rewritable)
GFDO-RM01N/ GFDO-RM02N Register Format: Channel open-1; channel closed – 0; reserved value – 0.
