From Modig.pl Wiki
Description
Universal control card operated via RS485 and Modbus with 12
SSR relays and 8 inputs with
optoisolation
The Modig Modbus RTU 12 SSR / 8 IN module is equipped with 12 solid-state relays (SSR) and 8 inputs with galvanic isolation. All outputs and inputs are controlled and read using standard Modbus commands transmitted via the RS485 interface. The control interface is equipped with 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
| Relay circuits operate under mains voltage - nominally 230 V AC. This voltage is dangerous to human life, and all work must be carried out in compliance with safety regulations and under the supervision of a qualified professional. |
The SSR relay outputs are routed to screw terminals with a 7.5 mm pitch.
Each of the 12 outputs in the active state supplies an AC voltage with a
maximum value of 240 V AC and a maximum current of 2 A. The total
current of all active outputs must not exceed 10 A. In a situation
where all outputs are active simultaneously, the current on each of them
should not exceed 0.8 A (power approx. 180 W).
Solid-state relays (SSR) have specific properties that should be kept in mind:
- they operate only with alternating voltage (AC),
- they implement the zero-cross switching function (Zero Cross), thereby minimizing EMI generation and inrush currents,
- they are not suitable for switching inductive loads of medium and high power,
- they do not provide galvanic isolation - even in the off-state, they cause a small leakage current (approx. 2 mA) on the output,
- they may cause flickering of very low-power LED light bulbs.
The active state for a given output is indicated by the lighting of an LED
located near the terminals of that connector. The layout of individual
pinouts is shown in the figure.
One wire of the supply voltage for the output circuits must be connected to the "AC PWR IN" terminals. These are 4 terminals connected to each other; both wires of the output circuit supply voltage must not be connected there. An example circuit controlled by the Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN is shown in the figure.
Input Connectors
The Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN module is equipped with 8 inputs with optoisolation. A DC voltage ranging from 5…25 V with the correct polarity can be connected to the inputs, which will be read as an active state (logical 1). Current consumption in the active state is approx. 2…12 mA. The absence of voltage on the inputs will be read as an inactive state (logical 0).
Each input has '+' and '-' contacts routed to screw terminals with a 5.08 mm pitch. Connecting a voltage with the correct polarity will set the active state for the given input and cause the LED located near the terminals of that input to light up. The layout of the individual pinouts is shown in the figure.
RS485 Interface
The RS485 interface is brought out in the form of a Phoenix Contact MC 3.81 mm connector with 4 pins. Depending on the installation, only lines A+ and B- or all T, A+, B-, G can be used. Their functions are described in the table.
| Designation | Function |
|---|---|
| 120 Ω / T | Activation of the internal 120 Ω
termination resistor. The resistor is active when the T contact is connected to the A+ contact, e.g., via a jumper installed directly in the plug. |
| A+ | Line A of the RS485 bus (positive potential) |
| B- | Line B of the RS485 bus (negative potential) |
| GND / G | Bus ground GND of the RS485 interface. |
The RS485 interface is galvanically isolated from the other components and equipped with surge protection elements, ensuring stable operation even in installations exposed to severe interference.
RS485 communication parameters are configured via Modbus commands; the default settings are: 19200, 8, none, 1.
The Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN module can be connected to an RS485 bus that links up to 64 devices (including the module). Each device should be connected in such a way that no bus branches are formed - any branch connections should be as short as possible. It is recommended to connect 120 Ω termination resistors at both ends of the bus. The Modig Modbus has such a resistor integrated, but for it to be active, the A+ and T contacts must be connected together in the plug.
The figure shows a simplified schematic of the RS485 bus, terminated on one side with a 120 Ω termination resistor, and on the other side with the termination resistor integrated into the module. Furthermore, correct and incorrect device connections to the bus are shown.
Power Supply
The Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN module is equipped with 3 different power connectors. Only one of them must be selected, and power of the appropriate parameters and correct polarity must be connected. Detailed information can be found in the table and the figure.
| Connector | Function |
|---|---|
| USB-C (J3) | Standard USB-C socket, serves only
as a power supply connector. A power adapter/charger with a voltage of 5 V DC (4.9…5.3 V) and a current of min. 1 A must be connected. |
| 2.1/5.5 (J2) | 2.1/5.5 barrel jack compatible with
"wall wart" power adapters. A power adapter/charger with a voltage of 5 V DC (4.9…5.3 V) and a current of min. 1 A must be connected. Mind the polarity - positive in the center. |
| MC 3.81 mm (J1) | Connector with a plug for terminal wire connection.
A power source with a voltage in the range of 7…28 V DC and a current of min. 0.5 A must be connected. Mind the polarity - positive on the side of the inputs. |
Signaling LEDs
There are two indicator LEDs on the Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN board that provide information about the device operation.
| Indicator | Function |
|---|---|
| STA | LED lit with a short cyclic blanking indicates correct operation of the device |
| BUS | Flashing LED indicates receiving data from the RS485 bus and Modbus commands |
Restoring Settings
There is a SET microbutton located on the Modig Modbus 12 SSR / 8 IN board. Pressing and holding it for approx. 5 seconds will cause all settings (values of configuration registers) to be restored to their default values. This function is useful in situations where, due to incorrect parameter configuration, it is impossible to send Modbus commands to the module. Restoring default settings will set 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, so-called Holding Registers. Registers can be read and written via Modbus commands, allowing the user to change the operation of the device. The list of registers and their functions are described in the table.

Measurement Input Registers
The device is equipped with measurement circuits for the power supply voltage and temperature, which allow monitoring the module's operating conditions and avoiding failures. The measurement results are available in the measurement input registers, so-called Input Registers. Measurement registers can be read via Modbus commands.
| Register number (hex) | Name | Description | Value range |

-20…-1 *C =
xFF14…xFF01 0…70 *C = x0000…0046 |
Modbus Standard Control Commands
Each command in the Modbus standard has the form of a data frame, the structure of which is shown in the figure:
Consecutive frames must be separated by an interval of at least 3.5 characters (the time required to transmit a full ASCII character), while the interval between the transmission of one character and the start of transmission of the next one within the same frame must not exceed 1.5 characters. These rules apply to communication speeds (baud rates) up to 19200.
If the communication speed is set above 19200, the minimum interval between frames has a constant value equal to 1.75 ms. Meanwhile, the interval between consecutive characters of the same frame must not exceed 0.75 ms.
Each device connected to the Modbus bus must have a unique address assigned. 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 addressing the command to all devices connected to the bus. In some systems, it is not recommended to set addresses above the value of 247.
By default, outputs and inputs are numbered starting 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 so that outputs and inputs are numbered starting 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 to which the control/read command refers 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.
There are several standard commands in the Modbus standard. Each of them, as well as example commands and device responses, are described in the subsequent sections of the manual.
