4 Detailed function

4.1 Switch input DI

4.1.1 Switch input DI collection

Switch input DI to measure level signal or edge pulse signal (rising edge, falling edge). Support dry
node collection, support DI counting function, the maximum count is 65535 (the count is
automatically cleared when 65535 is exceeded).
The switch input DI supports three trigger modes: rising edge, falling edge, and level (the default
level trigger mode).
The clearing method supports automatic clearing and manual clearing (default automatic clearing).

4.1.2 Switch input DI filter parameters

When the switch inputs the DI to collect the signal, it needs to keep multiple sampling periods before
confirming. The filter parameter can be set from 1 to 16 (default 6 sampling periods). The DI filter
parameters can be set through the configuration software.

4.2 Switch output DO

4.2.1 Switch output DO description

Switch output DO, with level mode, pulse mode, follow mode (only follow DI). Using C-type relay output
(normally open + normally closed), the single-channel output supports a maximum load (contact capacity) of
30V/10A or 250V/10A.
Each DO output is designed with an output indicator (red LED indication) to indicate whether the output port
is on or off.
When the LED indicator light is on, it means the relay is closed (normally open and normally closed);
When the LED indicator is off, it means that the relay is not closed (normally open off, normally closed on).

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. 【4DI+2DO】MA01-AXCX4020 User Manual

4.2.2 Switch output DO mode setting

(1) Level mode

Output according to the level set by the user. The switching characteristics of the level mode are
similar to the function of a self-locking switch.

(2) Pulse mode

After the switch output DO is turned on, the set pulse width time (in ms) is maintained, and the
switch output DO is automatically turned off. The pulse width setting range is 50～65535 (default
50).

(3) Follow mode

After the user sets the follow mode, set the follow input terminal. The switch output DO
terminal is consistent with the DI input terminal.
Note: Multiple switch output DO terminals can be set to follow one DI input terminal, and one
switch output DO terminal can not be set to follow multiple DI input terminals.

4.3 Device address

4.3.1 Device address

Device address composition: hardware address + software offset address

Figure 4-3-1 Device address

The default device address is: 1 (hardware address 0 + software address 1 = device address 1).
Device address setting range: 1～247.
Hardware address: realized by the dial switch (5 digits) dial setting (the factory default is 0).
Software address: It is realized by the "offset address" set by the configuration tool software (the
factory default is 1).
For example:
If the hardware address is set to 5 and the software address is set to 113, the device address is 118.

4.3.2 Hardware address (dip switch)

4-3-2 Hardware address (Dip switch)

Hardware address: The DIP switch can switch different hardware addresses, and the binary system
represents the 5-digit DIP switch.
The "5" direction indicates the high position, and the "1" direction indicates the low position. The
hardware address range can be adjusted from 0 to 31.

Hardware address dialing setting instructions:

Example 1: Set hardware address 0 (default), binary code.

4-3-4 Hardware address 8

Example 3: Set hardware address 31, binary code.

314-3-4 Hardware address 8

The hardware address can be customized according to the actual situation. The setting method is
shown in the above example.
If multiple devices need to be connected to a single RS485 bus, only the hardware address is used. A
single bus can be connected to a maximum of 32 devices (just set the hardware address).
If you need more than 32 devices to connect to a single RS485 bus, you need to set the software
address (offset address) to realize a single bus to connect up to 247 devices.
After changing the address, you need to power off and restart the new address to take effect.
Note: For the following 3 products, the DIP switch is in the product shell. If the DIP switch is set, the
shell must be disassembled and then set.

4.3.3 Software address (offset address)

Software address: The user can make different settings according to the scene. The software address setting range is 1～
216 (device address: 1～247), and the default software address is 1.
After changing the address, you need to power off and restart the new address to take effect.
To change the software address, it needs to be realized through the configuration tool software, as shown in the figure:

7.2 Instruction format (partial)

7.2.1 Read DO output coil status

Use 01 function code to read the output coil status, for example: read the status of two output coils

20 01 00 00 00 02 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Register start address Number of output coils CRC check code
address

After sending the above command to the device via the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

20 01 01 02 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Number of bytes of data Status data returned CRC check code
address

The status data 02 returned above indicates that the output DO2 is on.

After sending the above command to the device via the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

20 03 02 00 00 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Number of bytes of data Returned data CRC check code
address

The above 00 00 indicates that DO1 is in level mode.

7.2.3 Write a single holding register

Use 06 function code to write a single holding register, for example: set the working mode of DO1 to pulse mode

20 06 05 78 00 01 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Register address Data written CRC check code
address

After sending the above command to the device via the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

20 06 05 78 00 01 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Register address Data written CRC check code
address

If the modification is successful, the 0x0578 register data is 0x0001.

7.2.4 Write multiple holding registers

Use 10 function code to write commands for multiple holding registers, for example: set the working mode of DO1-DO4
at the same time.

If the modification is successful, the values of four consecutive registers with 0x0578 as the starting address are 0x0001,
0x0002, 0x0003, and 0x0000, respectively.

7.2.5 Write the status of a single DO coil

Use 05 command to write a single command, for example: set the working mode of DO1 to pulse mode

20 05 00 00 FF 00 XX XX

Device ModBus Data written

function code Register address CRC check code
address Coil action: conduction

After sending the above command to the device via the 485 bus, the device will return the following values:

20 05 00 00 FF 00 XX XX

Device ModBus
function code Register address Write value CRC check code
address

The DO1 coil is turned on.

7.2.6 Write multiple DO coil states

Use 0F function code to write a single command, for example: set the working mode of DO1 to pulse mode

20 0F 00 00 00 04 01 06 XX XX
