Supported IO Signals The starter kit I/O board supports DO mode, DI mode, and AO mode.

DO Mode

There are two types of DO modes: DO (Sink) and Pulse Out. Connect the output channel with a source DI module.

DO mode 1 2 DO (Sink) default ON OFF

Pulse Out OFF ON

DO (Sink): In this case, the I/O board is a sink DO module and it must be used with source DI module, 45MR-1601. Pulse Out: When the push button on the I/O board is pressed, the I/O board will generate a square wave with pulse on/off width 500 ms.

NOTE The pulse on/off width can be modified by changing the value in the internal register. For the Modbus TCP slave address, please refer to the Modbus table in the web console.

DI Mode

There are two types of DI modes: DI (Source) and DI (Sink). When the input channel is connected to a DO module, use the web console to turn on the light on the starter kit DO channel.

DI mode 1 2 DI (Source) default ON OFF

DI (Sink) OFF ON

DI (Source): In this case, the I/O board is a source DI module and it must be used with the 45MR-2600 sink DO module. DI (Sink): In this case, the I/O board is a sink DI module and it must be used with the 45MR-2601 source DO module.

AO Mode

When connecting the output channel with an AI module, four types of AO mode can be used: RTD, TC, Volt, and Curr. Rotate the knob to increase/decrease the output signal; the value can be checked on the web console.

AO mode 1 2 3

RTD (0 to 2 kilo-ohm) OFF OFF ON

TC (0 to 0.1 V) OFF ON ON

Volt (0 to 10 V) ON ON ON

Curr (0 to 20 mA) default ON ON OFF

RTD: In this case, the I/O board provides a 0 to 2 kilo-ohm resistance; use the 45MR-6600 RTD module. TC: In this case, the I/O board provides an analog output with voltage from 0 to 0.1 V; use the 45MR-6800 TC module. Volt: In this case, the I/O board provides an analog output with voltage from 0 to 10 V; use the 45MR-3810 AI module. Curr: In this case, the I/O board provides an analog output with current from 0 to 20 mA; use the 45MR-3800 AI module.

Default Wiring Between the Device and the I/O Board

NOTE Because of space limitations, we use the same power supply for system and field power. For an actual application, we recommended using different power supplies to ensure that the system power and field power are isolated from each other.

Connecting to the Device’s DI Channel The blue wires connect to the 45MR-1601 source DI module.

Counter Mode

1. Adjust the DIP switch (DO mode) on the I/O board to pulse out.

2. Change the DI to counter mode in I/O settings.

NOTE After changing the settings, remember to save and restart.

3. When entering the dashboard, choose the DI module, 45MR-1601.

4. Click the run in operation section and the DI module will count the pulse sent from the I/O board.

Connecting to Device’s DO Channel The yellow wires connect to the 45MR-2600 DO sink module.

You can change the DO module to the 45MR-2601, which is a source DO module. When you do so,

1. Adjust the dip switch (DI mode) on I/O board to DI (sink).

2. Change the wire on the COM port from V+ to V-.

Pulse Mode

1. Change the DO to pulse mode in I/O settings.

NOTE After changing the setting, remember to save and restart.

2. When entering the dashboard, choose the DO module, 45MR-2600.

3. Click the start in operation section and the DO module will send a pulse.

Connect to the Device’s AI Channel Connect the green wires to the 45MR-3800 AI module.
