1. Description

The Modbus module with 8 individually configurable

resistance or voltage inputs is designed for local switching

operations. It is suitable to record resistance or voltage values of

for example passive and active temperature sensors electrical

ventilation or mixing valves, valve positions etc. The inputs are

universally configurable and can be scanned via a Modbus-Master.

Setting of the slave address, bit rate and parity is done with the

two address switches (x1 / x10) on the front. Possible settings

are addresses 00 to 99 and baud rates 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,

19200, 38400, 57600 und 115200 Bd.
The device does not participate in bus communication if the

address is 00 (reserved for broadcast commands).
