Material Composition & Structural Features:

  • Dimensions: Approximately 178 mm (L) × 95 mm (W) × 96 mm (H).
  • Weight: 0.15 kg, featuring a lightweight design for easy integration.
  • Enclosure: Industrial-grade black or gray housing with IP20 protection.

Working Principle:
Receives data via the Modbus RTU protocol, processes the commands through its internal logic, and switches the corresponding output relays or analog circuits to actuate field devices.

Installation Requirements:

  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the module to dissipate heat.
  • Connect using shielded communication cables to maintain signal integrity.

Usage Precautions:

  • Some versions support redundant configurations; verify wiring for dual power or communication interfaces if applicable.
  • Do not exceed the specified voltage and current limits for connected field devices.
