What is the difference between the MR-DIO4/2 and MR-DIO4/2S?
The MR-DIO4/2 has 2 changeover contacts (switch-on current 80 A, less than 20 ms) and the MR-DIO4/2S has 2 NO contacts (switch-on current 160 A, less than 20 ms).
The Modbus module with 4 digital inputs and 2 relay outputs with manual control was developed for decentralized switching tasks. It is suitable for accommodating, for example, light switches and window contacts in a room, switching 2 light strips or controlling louvers. It can also be used to control 2 motorized fire dampers. In this case it is necessary to protect the relay contacts by appropriate load-dependent measures. The inputs can be used as contact or voltage inputs. The inputs and outputs can be switched and scanned by means of standard registers via a Modbus master. Module address, bit rate and parity are set with 2 rotary switches on the front or by software. Suitable for decentralized mounting on DIN TH35 rail according to IEC 60715 in electrical distribution cabinets.

What can I do if the red ERROR LED on the module lights up or there is no communication?
There are several possible causes, please check the following:
- Operating voltage (A1 / A2) connected and sufficient for the device.
- BUS (A- / B+) connected and not reversed. Pay attention to (- / +), not to A/B.
- Address (rotary switches) set correctly, must not occur twice or be 0.
- Bit rate and parity (rotary switches) set correctly, only possible in programming mode (see mounting note).
- Shielded and twisted pair cable used.
- Termination resistor (120 Ω) set on both sides.
- Bias resistors available on the BUS.
- Timeout high enough for all participants to respond (approx. 10 ms).

- Max Frame high enough for all answers from participants to get through (BMT-RTR setting).
