7 ഓപ്പറേറ്റിംഗ് മോഡുകൾ
The module supports multiple relay control modes for various automation scenarios, with each channel supporting independent control settings:
- Normal Mode (Command Direct Control): Relays are controlled directly by sending Modbus commands.
- Flash ON / Flash OFF: Allows turning the relay ON for a specified duration and then automatically turning it OFF (Flash ON), or turning it OFF for a duration and then automatically turning it ON (Flash OFF). The duration is set by passing an argument to the command.
- Linkage Control: The output status of a relay follows the digital input status, enabling direct control based on sensor readings or switch states.
- ടോഗിൾ മോഡ്: When a pulse is input, the output status of the relay will toggle once (ON to OFF, or OFF to ON).
8. RS485 Communication
The module communicates via the RS485 interface using the Modbus RTU protocol. It supports configurable device addresses (1-255), allowing multiple modules to be cascaded on a single RS485 bus. For long communication distances or a large number of cascaded devices, RS485 repeaters may be necessary to maintain signal integrity and system efficiency.
