2 | Common contact (Output of the dry contact) | |
3 | Normally closed contact (Output of the dry contact) | |
4 | NC (Not Connected) | |
5 | Input of the dry contact | |
6 | Input of the dry contact | |
Analog | 1 | Matching analog1 "+" |
2 | Matching analog1 "-" | |
3 | Matching analog1 "+" | |
4 | Matching analog1 "-" | |
RS485 | 1 | 485-A |
2 | 485-B | |
CAN | 2 | CAN-L |
7 | CAN-H | |
1/3~6/8 | NC (Not Connected) |
Digital IO Interface Details: PIN 1 to 3 provide complementary normally open and normally closed dry contact outputs. PIN2 is the common end. Dry contact output capacity is 1A/30VDC or 0.15A/220VAC. PIN 5 to 6 are for dry contact input.
Analog Interface: Optional and customizable, supporting up to four analog signals (two inputs, two outputs). For 3-4 analog signals, the interface is RJ45-CAN1, with specific pin definitions for analog input 1, analog input 2, analog output 1, and analog output 2.
RS485 Interface: Serial communication interface (Female) using standard Modbus-RTU protocol.
CAN Interface: CAN1 and CAN2 are internal parallel CAN bus interfaces for serial or parallel device connection and external communication.
1.2 Voltage Compensation
To utilize the remote voltage compensation function, use high-insulation twisted-pair cables. Ensure positive and negative cables are not connected inversely. When not in use, short the compensation terminals (SENSE) PIN1 and PIN2, and PIN3 and PIN4 with short cables.

Over-Curr P | The software detects an over-current error | Confirm start overshoot or steady overshoot (overshoot in working process). If start overshoot, set "priority" to "voltage priority", or "Rise Time Of Curr" to a reasonable value (current priority).
