4. Technical Specifications
4.1 Electrical and Environmental
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 5-36 VDC |
| Supply current | Not specified for the ordered hardware |
| Operating temperature | -40 to +85 °C |
| Humidity | 5-95% RH, non-condensing |
4.2 Digital Input
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Channel count | 8 |
| Type | Dry/wet contact, opto-isolated |
| Wet-contact voltage range | Obtain the limits for the supplied hardware |
| DI input current | Not specified |
| Sampling rate | 100 Hz |
| Pulse counter | 32-bit per channel |
| Debounce | 5-255 ms (default 50 ms) |
The DI sampling rate does not specify a maximum countable pulse frequency. Pulse counting also depends on debounce and pulse timing.

| Relay switching time | Not specified |
| Electrical life | 100k cycles at rated load |
| Output retention | Soft reboot; power-cycle retention requires the corresponding firmware option |
4.4 Communication
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Interface | RS485 (2-wire), optional RS232 or TTL |
| Protocol | Modbus RTU slave |
| Baud rate | 600-230400 bps (default 9600) |
| Slave address | 1-255 (software) + DIP offset 0-31 |
5. Interfaces and Pinout
5.1 Terminal Overview
| Group | Description |
|---|---|
| Power | V+, V- screw terminals + DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm jack |
| DIP switch | SW1-SW5 (binary address offset) |
| Reload | Hold 3-15 s to restore factory defaults |
| DI | COM+, COM-, DI1-DI8 |
| DO | NCn / COMn / NOn for channels 1-8 |
| Communication | A/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 RS485, use shielded twisted pair, terminate both ends with 120 ohm resistors, and keep a common reference ground.
6. Mechanical and Environmental
