1 Description
1.1 Function
The MV110-8AS analog input module is an extension module with 8 analog inputs for the
following standard signals:
– 4-20 mA
– 0-20 mA
– 0-5 mA
– 0-10 V
The module has the following galvanically isolated circuits:
– Power supply
– Analog inputs
– RS485 interface
Separate inputs are not galvanically isolated.
The module performs the following functions:
– Connection of peripherals with analog outputs
– Conversion of analog signals to digital values
– Sensor-based status diagnostics
– Diagnostics of RS485 network status
– Generation of appropriate error signals or alarm signals
– Slave device in Modbus protocol structure
The module supports Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII protocols with automatic protocol
identification.
The module is to be configured using ‘M110 Configurator’ software (included on CD) via
RS485-USB interface adapter (not included).
1.2 RS485 network
The I/O modules of Mx110 series use common standard RS485 for data exchange. The
RS485 serial interface is based on two-wire technology and half-duplex mode. Protocols
Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII and akYtec are supported. The network consists of a mas-
ter device and can contain up to 32 slave devices. The maximum length is 1200 m. The
number of slave devices and the network length can be increased with using a RS485
interface repeater.
Separate devices (slave devices) are connected according to linear (bus) topology. It
means that the line goes from the first device to the second one, from the second one to
the third one, etc. Star connections and spur lines are not allowed.
Line reflections always occur at the open bus ends (the first and the last node). The high-
er the chosen data transmission rate, the stronger they are. A terminating resistor is
needed to minimize reflections. Experience proves that the most efficient practice is to
use terminating resistors of 150 ohm.
The module can be used as slave devices only. Master device can be PLC, PC with
SCADA software or control panel.

Shield in the control cabinet for best electromagnetic immunity recommended
– Connect RS485 line to terminals D+ and D-.
– Use twisted pair cable for RS485 connection. The length of the line should not
exceed 1200 m.
4.1.1 Inputs
The following must be observed:
– All AIx terminals are internally connected.

4.1.2 Different input signals
Each input can be configured for any type of signal individually. The signal type (sensor
type) must be selected for in-t parameter. A full list of configuration parameters is pre-
sented in Appendix B.
If a sensor has a positive output you can use a common additional voltage source. In
case of a negative output, a separate additional voltage source should be provided for
each sensor.

►
NOTICE
Before starting
Before switching on, make sure that the device has been kept at the specified
ambient temperature (-20... +55 ° C) for at least 30 minutes.
The configuration tool ‘M110 Configurator’ allows viewing, editing and saving of parame-
ters. The complete list of parameters is shown in Table 5.1.
The software and the manual are included on the CD.
The module must be configured in order to use it in RS485 network. Proceed as follows:
– install the configuration software ‘M110 Configurator’ on the PC
– connect the module to the USB interface of the PC over USB/RS485 adapter (not
included)
– connect a power source 24V DC to the module terminals 24V/0V
– switch the power on
– run the M110 Configurator
If the factory settings of the module have not been changed, then connection with the
module is established automatically. The module is automatically identified, the module
configuration parameters are readout and a window with an appropriate configuration
mask opens.
Otherwise, the network parameters of the configurator must be adapted.
