1. Overview ​

This manual describes the Modbus RTU communication commands for the Y301-440 and Y301-444 I/O modules.

ModelDIDOAIDescription
Y301-440440Four inputs + four relays
Y301-444444Four inputs + four relays + four analog inputs

Frame format: [slave address][function code][data][CRC low][CRC high]

The examples below use slave address 0x01. Replace it with the actual device address and recalculate the CRC.

3. Modbus Register Map (Modbus Address Only) ​

3.1 Digital Input (DI) - Function Code 0x02 ​

ChannelModbus AddressR/W
DI10x0000RO
DI20x0001RO
DI30x0002RO
DI40x0003RO

Return value: 0 = inactive, 1 = active.

3.2 Digital Output (DO) - Function Code 0x01/0x05/0x0F ​

ChannelModbus AddressR/W
DO10x0000RW
DO20x0001RW
DO30x0002RW
DO40x0003RW

For function code 0x05, write 0x0000 to open the NO contact or 0xFF00 to close it. Function code 0x0F uses packed bits: 0 = open, 1 = closed.

3.3 Analog Input (AI) - Function Code 0x04 (Y301-444 only) ​

Each AI channel can be wired for either voltage or current. The other reading is invalid.

5. Parameter Configuration ​

5.1 Runtime Slave Address ​

Runtime slave address = configured address (0x003E) + DIP offset (0x002B).

5.2 Serial Settings ​

  • Baud rate is a 32-bit value at 0x0057, use 0x10 to write 2 registers.
  • Data/stop/parity are located at 0x0059~0x005B.
  • Changing serial parameters or slave address requires reboot.

6. Automation Rules ​

The Y301-440/444 support DI -> DO automation, and the Y301-444 also supports AI threshold triggering. Up to 8 rules are supported, with 2 rules per DO.

6.1 Automation Register Map ​

Rules start at address 0x0080. Each rule uses 8 registers (16 bytes).

OffsetFieldDescription
+0ModeRule type (see table below)
+1ActionMode-specific; see the mode table
+2DO indexTarget relay, starting from 1
+3Trigger indexSource DI or AI, starting from 1
+4-5Parameter 1Mode-dependent, 32-bit
+6-7Parameter 2Mode-dependent, 32-bit

6.2 Rule Modes ​

ModeNameAction / Parameters
0DisabledDisable the rule
1DI follow0 = inverse; 1 = forward; select DI
2Pulse output0 = normally open; 1 = normally closed; parameter 1 = pulse duration (ms)
3Delayed control0 = delay opening commands; 1 = delay closing commands; 2 = delay both; parameter 1 = delay (ms)
4Timed change after reboot0 = open; 1 = close; 2 = toggle; parameter 1 = delay (ms)
5Cyclic change0 = open first; 1 = close first; parameters 1/2 = open/closed durations (ms)
6Button input0 = open; 1 = close; 2 = toggle; parameter 1 = minimum active duration (ms)
7Scheduled onceAction at Unix timestamp in parameter 1 (s)
8Scheduled repeatingParameter 1 = Unix timestamp (s); parameter 2 = interval (ms)
9Daily scheduleParameter 1 = seconds since start of day (0-86399)
10 / 11AI voltage above / below thresholdY301-444 only; parameter 1 = mV; parameter 2 = execution interval (ms)
12 / 13AI current above / below thresholdY301-444 only; parameter 1 = µA; parameter 2 = execution interval (ms)
14Delayed DI follow0 = inverse; 1 = forward; parameter 1 = delay (ms)
15 / 16 / 17Logic AND / OR / XORParameter 1 = DO mask; parameter 2 = DI mask; choose the action for the selected mode

Mode 2 responds to an output-control command. Mode 3 delays an output-control command; mode 14 follows a DI change after a delay. Use channels fitted on the model and the configuration tool matched to its firmware.

Write the current Unix time to 0x0055-0x0056 before using modes 7-9. Devices without a hardware RTC require the time after each reboot.

7. Troubleshooting ​

SymptomCauseSolution
No responseWrong address or baud rateCheck the configured address, baud rate, and serial format. Broadcast processing is disabled by default; address 0 is not a response test.
CRC errorWiring issue or interferenceCheck RS485 polarity and add termination resistors
DO does not switchLoad exceeds ratingReduce the load and verify contact ratings
DI always reads 0Wiring errorCheck COM/DI wiring and input voltage
AI reading is abnormalWrong wiring modeVerify voltage/current wiring; each channel supports only one mode at a time
