9.- INPUT/OUTPUT MODULE SETUP (M-8IO)
M-8IO centralizer module can supervise and control an electrical installation. The M-8IO module can
manage states, alarms and perform energy metering procedures with the use of programmable digital
inputs and outputs, managing the energy pulses received from other installation devices.
In addition to the power of the measurement module, QNA500 can interact with any electrical
magnitude present in the installation, making it easier to control the electrical installation.
M-8IO centralizer module has a built-in WEB server that allows the user to easily and quickly configure
the system from any PC with a WEB browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Mozilla or Chrome,
among others).
Before starting with the setup of alarms and other features, you must be sure that communications are
correctly configured in this module.
9.1.- COMMUNICATIONS
To access to the setup it’s recommendable to use WEB-Server or software provided by CIRCUTOR.
In case of using ETHERNET port, QNA500 is setup with DHCP as default, so if this is connected to a
LAN network, DHCP server of this LAN will provide IP addresses to each module automatically.
To know assigned IP address, or to assign an specific IP address, you can use IP setup software,
which ask you MAC address and allows you to set an specific IP to each module.
By default, M-8iO centralizer has following configuration (depending on model):
• (M-8iO): Device Number, Baud Rate, Length, Parity, Stop Bits: 10, 9600-8-N-1
• (M-8iO-R): Device Number, Baud Rate, Length, Parity, Stop Bits: 10, 9600-8-N-1
All communication ports are MULTIPROTOCOL which means that you can communicate using any of
the supported protocols.
Available protocols are the following:
• MODBUS/RTU (on-line communications)
• MODBUS/TCP (on-line communications)
• CIRBUS (on-line communications)
• ZMODEM (protocol to download files)
• FTP (protocol to download files)
• HTTP: (protocol to connect using Web-Browser)
