==== Description ====

<b>16-relay card controlled via RS485 and Modbus RTU</b><br>

The Modig Modbus 16R module is equipped with 16 SPDT electromagnetic 
relays, which are controlled using Modbus standard commands transmitted 
via the RS485 interface. The control interface features galvanic isolation 
and surge protection, ensuring stable operation even in installations 
exposed to severe interference. The communication and operational parameters 
of the module can be flexibly configured and adapted to the requirements of various 
applications.

==== Relay Connectors ====

The relay contacts are routed to screw terminals with a 5.08 mm pitch. 
Each of the 16 outputs offers normally closed (NC) and normally 
open (NO) contacts. When a given output is turned on, the NO contact 
is connected to the common contact (COM), while the NC contact is 
disconnected from COM. The active state for a specific output is indicated 
by a lit LED located near the terminals of that connector. The layout 
of individual pin assignments is shown in the figure.

==== RS485 Interface ====

The RS485 interface is brought out as a 4-pin Phoenix Contact MC 3.81 mm 
connector. Depending on the installation, only lines A+ and B- or 
all lines T, A+, B-, and G can be used. Their functions are 
described in the table.

</center>

<br>

The RS485 interface is galvanically isolated from the remaining 
components and equipped with surge protection elements, ensuring stable 
operation even in installations exposed to severe interference.

<br><br>

The RS485 communication parameters are configured using Modbus commands; the default settings are: 19200, 8, none, 1.

<br><br>

The Modig Modbus 16R module can be connected to an RS485 bus that 
links up to 64 devices (including the module). Each device 
should be connected in a way that prevents bus branching – any stubs 
should be kept as short as possible. At both ends of the bus, it is recommended 
to connect 120 Ω termination resistors. Modig Modbus 16R has such a 
resistor integrated, but to activate it, the A+ and T terminals must be 
connected together inside the plug.

<br><br>

The figure shows a simplified diagram of the RS485 bus, terminated with a 
120 Ω resistor on one end, and with the integrated termination resistor in the 
module on the other end. Furthermore, correct and incorrect methods of 
connecting devices to the bus are shown.

==== Power Supply ====

The Modig Modbus 16R module is equipped with 3 different power connectors, 
connected in parallel. Only one of them must be chosen to connect a 
power supply with a voltage of 4.9…5.3 V, a minimum capacity of 1.5 A, 
and correct polarity.

==== Factory Reset ====

There is a SET tactile micro-button on the Modig Modbus 16R module board. 
Pressing and holding it for approximately 5 seconds will restore all settings 
(configuration register values) to their defaults. This function is useful 
in situations where incorrect parameter settings prevent sending Modbus commands 
to the module. Restoring defaults sets the RS485 communication 
parameters to: 19200, 8, none, 1 and the module address to "1".

==== Configuration Registers (Holding Registers) ====

All parameters of the device are defined by the values of configuration 
registers, known as Holding Registers. These registers can be read and 
written using Modbus commands to modify the device's operation. The list 
of registers and their functions are described in the table.

==== Measurement Input Registers (Input Registers) ====

The device is equipped with measurement circuits for power supply voltage and 
temperature, which allow monitoring of the module's operating conditions to prevent 
failures. The measurement results are available in the measurement input registers, 
known as Input Registers. These registers can be read using Modbus commands.

==== Modbus Standard Control Commands ====

Each command in the Modbus standard takes the form of a data frame, the structure of which is shown in the figure:

<center>

[[File:Modig_Modbus_16_modbus.png|none|450px|thumb|center]]

</center>

Consecutive frames must be separated by an interval of at least 3.5 
character times (the time required to transmit a full ASCII character), whereas 
the interval between transmitting one character and starting the transmission of 
the next within the same frame must not exceed 1.5 character times. These 
rules apply for communication speeds (baud rates) up to 19200.

<br><br>

If the communication speed is set above 19200, the minimum interval 
between frames has a fixed value equal to 1.75 ms. Meanwhile, the 
interval between consecutive characters of the same frame must not exceed 
0.75 ms.

<br><br>

Each device connected to the Modbus bus must be assigned a 
unique address. The address field is present in every transmitted 
frame, has a size of 1 byte, and can have a value in the range of 1…255. An address 
value of 0 is the so-called broadcast address and allows 
directing a command to all devices connected to the bus. In 
some systems, it is recommended not to set addresses above the value 
of 247.

<br><br>

Outputs and inputs are standardly numbered from 1. In this case, the first 
output is output number 1 (x01), and the last one is number 16 (0x10). 
The command descriptions and command examples refer specifically to this variant. 
However, the device can be configured in such a way that the outputs and 
inputs are numbered from 0. In that case, the first output is output 
number 0 (x00), and the last one is number 15 (0x0F). If the output number 
referenced by the control/read command exceeds the number of 
outputs contained in the device (15 or 16, depending on configuration), 
the command will not be executed and will remain unanswered.

<br><br>

The Modbus standard includes several standard commands. Each of them, 
along with example commands and device responses, is described in 
the subsequent section of this manual.

If the number of outputs to be set exceeds the number of outputs contained in the 
device (after considering the starting output number from which control 
begins), the command will be executed correctly for the existing outputs. 
The response will return the number of outputs actually controlled.

Similar commands:

*A5 01 00 08 00 06 6A 7C - x01 command to the device with address 165 
(xA5), reading the state of 6 (x0006) outputs, starting from output 8 (x0008).

:Response: A5 01 02 00 02 49 E4 - only output no. 9 is active (x0002)

<br>

*14 01 00 10 00 01 CE CA - x01 command to the device with address 20 
(x14), reading the state of one (x0001) output, starting from output 16 
(x0010).

:Response: 14 01 02 00 00 B4 3F - output turned off (x0000)

<br>

*29 01 00 20 01 00 BA 06 - x01 command to the device with address 41 
(x29), reading the state of 16 (x0010) outputs, starting from output 32 (x0020).

:Response: no response - cannot read states starting from output 32

<br>

If the number of outputs to be read exceeds the number of outputs contained in the 
device (after considering the starting output number from which the status 
reading begins), non-existent outputs in the response will always have an 
OFF (0) state.

===== “Read Discrete Inputs” Command - x02 ===== 

<br>

The x02 command allows reading the state of inputs. Since the 
Modig Modbus 16R device does not have inputs for reading states, it reads 
the state of the outputs in response to this command, similarly to the “Read Coils” - x01 command.

===== “Read Input Registers” Command - x04 ===== 

<br>

The x04 command allows reading values from the measurement input registers. The 
Modig Modbus 16R device supports measurement of the power supply voltage 
and the module temperature.
