1. Safety rules
· Before first use, refer to this manual
· Before first use, make sure that all cables are connected properly
· Please ensure proper working conditions, according to the device specifications (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
1AI module allows voltage or current measurement and has one digital putput. 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 1 input to voltage measurement and 1 input for current measurement (both inputs can be used in this same time). In addition, the module is equipped with 1 configurable digital output (PNP or NPN type).
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 DIN rail in accordance with DIN EN 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 bidirectional. In the case of an RS485 twisted pair cable this termination is typically 120 .
