1.5.1 Module watchdog

Module watchdog is a hardware monitoring of the operation status of the module. It will
automatically reset and reboot the module itself when working in a harsh/noisy environment and
encountering interference. If discontinuation exceeds 1.6 sec (default), the system would reset the signal and
reboot.
1.5.2 System watchdog
System watchdog is a software monitoring of the operation status of the system. It will provide
immediate counter-measure when erroneous network, communication or breakdown occurs. Once time-out
occurs, the module will reset all outputs to SAFE mode to prevent any improper operations on the controlled
target. The system watchdog timer is programmable. When system watchdog is enabled and the module
doesn’t receive polling from the host at the set time, system watchdog time-out will automatically start.
Outputs Safe mode is configurable on certain modules.

2.1.4 Module grounding

If Smart series modules were installed on an aluminium DIN rail, then the module grounding
would utilize aluminium rail for F.G. (Frame Ground).
2.1.4.1 Module grounding by the power connector
If the installation is not DIN rail type then the grounding should be connected by power connector.
The frame grounding installation as shown below.

2-11 Grounding by Power Connector

2.1.4.2 DIN rail grounding

When modules were installed on an aluminium DIN rail, a metal grounding tab could be installed
between modules and rail. The install location of metal grounding tab as shown as the following figure:

Page 14 of 141
 2-12 DIN Rail Grounding -Metal Grounding

❖ We strongly recommend a suitable Grounding (Frame Grounding) is necessary to ensure system

stability. If the grounding of the power supply is poor or there is noise on frame grounding, then it needs
to isolate frame grounding of the module. Use a plastic grounding tab instead of aluminium tab to
isolate module frame ground and DIN rail as shown as the following figure.

2-13 DIN Rail Grounding-Plastic Grounding

2.1.5 Power Supply

Smart series modules support a wide range DC power input voltage from +10V DC up to +60V
DC to fit the industrial application. There is a power regulator inside the module for system power
stabilization to supply high-quality power if supplied power is within support range. It is ideally voltage and
current in the module are inversely proportional but the power ripple must be limited to 5V Vpp. The power
connector wiring is shown in the following figure.

Page 15 of 141
 2-14 Power Supply Input Wiring

❖ Power will drop when the distance of the power line is too long. So, we strongly recommend the
distance between power and module should be as short as possible in order to prevent the system
unstable.
❖ Each module power would be parallelly connected on DIN rail. While connecting the power supply to
one of them on the rail then the power would distribute to every module via rail. (Be careful! only one
power source could be connecting to one set of modules on one rail.) The maximum number of
modules on one rail is 10 modules and power consumption are approximately 30W.
❖ Using a power connector to connect power source on every module if they are not connected on the
rail.

2-15 Chain Connection of Smart IO Modules for Power input

2.1.6 Connecting Communication Interface

Smart IO series modules support standard RS-485 communication. The RS-485 port position is
shown on the following figure beside, the next figure is showing the RS-485 connection.

 2-16 RS485 Connection Diagram

2-17 RS485 Daisy Chain connection

❖ When DIN rail mounting with modules alongside and the mounting base are connected to the dock
connector RS485 Signals can enter from the first module only and out from the last module only. It is
prohibited to use the intermediate module for the pick out to avoid communication instability.
❖ If the base is not connected to the dock connector, then every module communication terminal needs
to be connected to communication cables for communication.
2.1.7 IO Connection
User can choose the suitable I/O feature on the module to fit the specified application. Please
refer to the section of module information and check if each I/O channel has been assigned appropriately.

2.1.13 Isolated Type RS-232/RS-485 Converter (Optional)

If only RS232 port is available, a converter to convert RS232 to RS485 will be needed.
2.1.14 Repeater (Optional)
If the communication distance surpasses 4000 feet (1200m) or more than 32 modules are used,
expanding repeaters may be needed. A maximum number of modules is 247 by 8 repeaters can be
connected on the network.

2.4 System Configuration

All Smart series modules are connected in parallel by cables. Thus, the failure of one segment
does not affect the entire network system. All the smart series modules are based on RS485 interface and
MODBUS RTU protocol. The Smart series modules will act as a slave in the network...
2.4.1 Daisy Chain
In each segment, the last node to connect modules must be a repeater, with another end
connected to the main cable, it served as an important medium. Each repeater can be connected by 32
modules at most; otherwise, the low current might result in communication error.

4.1.5.4 Read/Clear Latch Status

Digital input module has the function of the latch the external pulse of the digital signal. The latch
high will be latched when the input is high and the latch low will be latched when the input is low. The latch
will be cleared using the latch clear function. The latch will be latched until the latch clear command sends to
the module.
The following Modbus addresses can be used to read or clear current latch status in the digital
input module:

 5.4.2 Module Address Setup and Default Communication Configuration
After connecting the power supply and network, the first step is to set up the module
address for each module. Please note that the address of the connected module on the same RS-485 port is
not replicable. Please refer to section 2.1.11 for setup procedures. The factory default baud rate setting of
modules is 9600bps, and the default parity, data bits, and stop bit format is N, 8, 1. The baud rate range is
from 1200bps to 115.2Kbps. The parity, data bits, and stop bit format is N, 8, 1, N, 8, 2, E, 8, 1, or O, 8, 1. If
the configuration of the module is unknown, the user can revert to the factory default setting by INIT function
explained in section 2.1.12.

5.4.4.3 Guideline for Failure to Find Module

If there are any modules that are connected on the same RS-485 port and unable to be found,
check the below case:
1. Check if the module is connected on the same RS-485 port and the cable is connected properly
2. Check the cable is broken or not
3. Whether the connection distance is too long (Which is also related to cable characteristics of RS-485)
or excessive module number. Try to decrease the baud rate or add a repeater. There will be a
maximum of 32 units only can be connected in the same segment. The repeater needs to be used if the
module number exceeds.
4. Communication configuration might not include the setting of partial modules. Try to select all
configurations and search module again, although utility might spend a lot of time to search, wait for a
while.
Page 124 of 141
 5. If none of the above is the correct case, initialize the module to factory default, and try to search it
again.
6. If the problem still cannot be resolved, it could be the malfunction of the module.
