1. Overview ​

The Y301-220/222 are high-power serial I/O expansion modules that combine opto-isolated digital inputs, 10 A relay outputs, and, on the Y301-222, dual analog inputs for 0-5 V, 0-10 V, or 4-20 mA (default) sensing.

Both models support Modbus RTU over RS485, RS232, or TTL and can be integrated with PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial gateways.

ModelDigital InputDigital OutputAnalog InputTypical Role
Y301-22022 x SPDT-Equipment monitoring and control
Y301-22222 x SPDT2 (0-5 V / 0-10 V / 4-20 mA); default 4-20 mAProcess monitoring and control

Analog input is available on the Y301-222 only.

Product Highlights ​

  • 82 x 54 x 32 mm enclosure with DIN-rail and screw mounting options
  • 277 VAC / 10 A relay contacts for HVAC, lighting, and pump control
  • Local rules on both models; retention and DIP addressing on Y301-222

2. Ordering Information ​

2.1 Model Configuration ​

The I/O code follows DI / DO / AI / AO. These are channel counts on one module; the fourth position is omitted on models without AO.

2.2 Interface Options ​

Specify the required interface when ordering:

InterfaceDescription
RS485Standard version for Modbus RTU multi-drop networks
RS232Optional version for point-to-point communication
TTLOptional on selected models for direct MCU integration

2.3 Ordering Table ​

SKUDescription
Y301-2202 DI + 2 DO, high-power relay module
Y301-2222 DI + 2 DO + 2 AI, combo I/O module

2.4 Standard Package ​

1 x Y301 module, digital quick reference guide, and warranty card.

Optional accessories include a USB-to-RS485 converter, DIN clip, power supply, and shielded cable set.

3. Key Features ​

  1. High-power relay outputs - 277 VAC / 10 A or 28 VDC / 10 A silver-alloy contacts
  2. Opto-isolated DI with pulse counting - Rising/falling edge capture with configurable debounce from 5 to 255 ms
  3. Analog input on Y301-222 - Two channels supporting 0-5 V, 0-10 V, or 4-20 mA (default), with readings in mV or µA
  4. Automation engine - Up to 4 local rules covering follow, pulse, delay, schedule, cycle, AI threshold, and logic modes
  5. Y301-222 retention and addressing - Soft-reboot retention and 5-bit DIP offset; power-cycle retention requires the corresponding firmware option. Y301-220 does not support retention or DIP address offset
  6. Power and operating environment - 5-36 VDC input, -40 to +85 °C operation, hardware watchdog, and Reload button

CommunicationA/B/GND (RS485) or TX/RX/GND (RS232/TTL)

5.2 Wiring Guidelines ​

  • Size the supply wiring and upstream fuse for module consumption and cable capacity.
  • Wire DI and COM/COM- according to the supplied model's input drawing. COM+ provides supply positive.
  • Check the permitted wet-contact signal voltage before connecting an active source. See the User Manual for common-terminal arrangements.
  • For relay outputs driving inductive loads, add an RC snubber for AC loads or a flyback diode for DC loads.
  • For Y301-222 analog input wiring, connect the source directly in voltage mode and use the current loop terminals in current mode.
  • For RS485, use shielded twisted pair, terminate both ends with 120 ohm resistors, and keep a common reference ground.
