Installation

Connecting the System Power 

Wire Range: 12 to 16 AWG (ferrule diameter: 2.053 to 1.291 mm)
Wire Strip Length: 10 mm

Connect your 12 to 48 VDC power source to the terminal block SP+ and SP- terminals on the ioThinx 4510. The ground connector of the system is on the back of the unit, which will connect to the DIN rail when the product is attached to it.

 WARNING

• Cables rated at minimum 120°C must be used for the power supply terminal.
• Terminal blocks should not have more than one conductor connected per clamping point.

Connecting Field Power

Wire Range: 12 to 16 AWG (ferrule diameter: 2.053 to 1.291 mm)
Wire Strip Length: 10 mm

The ioThinx 4510 can receive field power through a 12/24 VDC power input. Field power can be used to supply power for some I/O modules, such as digital input and analog output modules.

Connecting the Field Power Ground

Wire Range: AWG 12 to 18 (ferrule diameter 2.053 to 1.024 mm)
Wire Strip Length: 10 mm

The iothinx 4510 has a field power ground and two ground pins on the back of the device.

For surge protection, connect the Field Ground pin () to your field power ground and connect the DIN rail to the earth ground.

Connecting To The Network

Ethernet Communication 

The ioThinx 4510 is equipped with dual unmanaged LAN ports (RJ45).
Connect a network Ethernet cable to either port to provide an Ethernet connection to the unit.

Serial Communication 

The ioThinx 4510 is equipped with a 3-in-1 serial interface, which supports 1 RS-232 port, or 1 RS-422 port, or 2 RS-485 ports. Refer to the pin assignment table below to set up serial connections to the unit.

Wire Range: AWG 16 to 28 (ferrule diameter: 1.291 to 0.321 mm),
Wire Strip Length: 10 mm

45M Module Wiring

For detailed 45M module wiring, refer to the ioThinx 4510 User’s Manual on Moxa’s official website.

Installing the System on a DIN Rail

Step 1: Hook the mounting clip of the unit onto the DIN rail and lower the clip onto the DIN rail. Reserve at least 5.5 cm of space above the DIN rail to ensure that there is enough room to install the unit.

Step 2: Push the unit toward the DIN rail until the mounting clip snaps in place.

Installing a 45M Module on a DIN Rail

Step 1: Align the 45M module side by side with the head/CPU module, making sure that the upper and lower rails are hooked together.

Step 2: Align the 45M module side by side with the head/CPU module and then push the 45M module until it touches the DIN rail. Next, apply more force until the module clips on to the DIN rail.

NOTE
After the module is firmly attached to the DIN rail, the module connections to the internal bus will be established.

NOTE
The maximum number installing on the ioThinx 4510 for 45MR modules is 32 pcs and that does not support 45ML modules.
For information on the use of the 45MR module with ioThinx 4533, please refer to this website (https://iothinxcalculator.moxa.com/). If the website is invalid, be sure to contact MOXA to confirm product installation.

Removing a 45M Module from a DIN Rail

Step 1: Use your finger to lift the release tab on the lower part of the module.

Step 2: Push the top of the release tab to latch it, and then pull the module out.

NOTE
Electrical connections for the internal bus will be disconnected when removing the 45M module.

 WARNING

Be sure the power is off before removing modules to avoid damaging the equipment.

Installing the Covers on the First and Last Module

Attach the covers to the first and last module to cover the modules’ contacts.

 NOTICE
Be sure to attach the covers to provide electrostatic discharge protection.

Horizontal Installation

Before installing the device, make sure there is enough space between the device and nearby items (walls and other devices/equipment) to ensure proper heat dissipation.
To ensure that the device works properly, we suggest reserving the amount of space indicated in the adjacent figure.

 CAUTION
DO NOT install the device vertically. If the device is installed vertically, the fanless heat dissipation design will not perform as intended.
