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 via RS485-USB inter-
face 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.
1.3 Design
─Enclosure: plastic, grey, for DIN-rail or wall mounting
─Terminal blocks: 2 plug-in terminal blocks with 24 screw terminals
─LED „POWER“: power supply indicator
─LED „RS-485“: flashes at data exchange via RS485 interface
─LED „FAULT“: is on in case of fault status (see 6.3)

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.

5. Configuration
►
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 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.

6. Operation
The module is controlled by the master device in Modbus network.
Following Modbus function s are available: 03, 04 for reading and 15, 16 for writing.
6.1 Signal processing
Inputs are sampled cyclically. The measured values are converted into digital values,
analyzed and processed in accordance with the set parameters. The results are saved in
data registers (Table 6.1).
6.1.1 Sampling
An input is included into the sampling list if the signal type is selected. If the parameter int
is set to OFF, then the input is excluded from the list.
6.1.2 Signal change rate limitation
Signal change rate limitation allows reducing impulse noise efficiently. This limitation can
be adjusted using Peak parameter so that the noise suppression does not affect a meas-
uring signal.
The parameter can be changed within the range from 1 to 200 s-1 in increments of 1 s-1.
Unit 1 s-1 corresponds to 1/200 of the measurement range.
For example, for 4-20 mA signal:
1 s-1 corresponds to 1*16/200 = 0.08 mA - maximum noise suppression
200 s-1 correspond to 200*16/200 = 16 mA - noise suppression is off
If the maximum signal change rate does not exceed 50 mA/s, then
50 mA s
⁄
16 mA =3.125 Measuring range s
⁄
In this case, Peak = 4 guarantees the best noise suppression and the minimum measur-
ing signal impact at the same time.
The Peak factory setting is 200.
6.1.3 Digital Filter
The digital filter consists of two stages.
– At the first stage, a common filter affecting all 8 channels is used. The filter type must
be set in comf. parameter. The filter provides noise suppression with frequencies the
values of which are a multiply of 50 Hz. The filter factory setting is “off”.
– At the second stage, a channel filter is used and must be adjusted in outf. parameter.
– If outf = 1, the exponential filter is on. The filter time constant must be set in in.fd
parameter in ms. The higher the value, the higher the noise resistance and the slower
the input response.
6.1.4 Linear signal
To scale the linear signal (current or voltage) the measurement limits must be set. Pa-
rameters Ain.L ‘Lower limit’ and Ain.H ‘Upper limit’ are set in physical.
If Ain.L<Ain.H, then
Measured value =Ain.L+ (Ain.H-Ain.L)*(Si-Smin)
Smax-Smin
If Ain.L>Ain.H, then
Measured value =Ain.L- (Ain.L-Ain.H)*(Si-Smin)
Smax-Smin
where Smax – is the upper signal limit (for example, 20 for 4-20 mA signal)

Operation
akYtec GmbH · Vahrenwalder Str. 269 A · 30179 Hannover · Germany · Tel.: [phone] · www.akytec.de
13
Smin – is the lower signal limit (for example, 4 for 4-20 mA signal)
Si – is the actual signal value
6.2 Modbus communication
Modbus-RTU and Modbus-ASCII protocols are supported.
Modbus functions 03 and 04 for the following parameters are available:
– Measured value
– Time mark
– Error code (see 6.3)
The measured value is in two formats available:
– Integer (16 bits)
– Integer with a time mark (16 bits + 16 bits)
– Floating-point with a time mark (32 bits + 16 bits)
The integer is calculated by multiplication of the measured value by 10dP. The parameter
dP is used for a decimal point and can be set within the range 0…3.
When a floating-point number value is transmitted, the most significant byte of 32-bit data
is stored in the first register (big-endian).
The time mark is cyclic time within the range from 0 to 655.36 seconds with the increment
of 0.01 second saved as a 2 byte integer. It determines the exact time of measurement
within the cycle. When the module is powered on, the cycle starts from 0 and returns to
the initial state in 655.36 seconds.

6.3 Error diagnosis
When polling inputs, the module controls the status of the connected sensors, the cor-
rectness of communication and the measurement. The detected errors are transmitted
with the response as an error code (see Table 6.2).
If there is a measurement error, the last correctly saved value is transmitted.

7. Factory settings restoration
If communication between the PC and the module cannot be established and the network
parameters of the module are unknown, the factory settings of the network parameters
must be restored. Proceed as follows:
─power off the module
─remove the cover on the front panel of the module
─install jumper JP1 (see Figure 7.3) onto pins 9-10 (bottom row), now the module is
operated with default network parameters, the user settings are saved
─switch the power on
WARNING
Dangerous voltage
Electric shock could kill or seriously injure.
Voltage in some parts of the printed-circuit board can be dangerous! Direct con-
tact with the circuit board or penetration of a foreign body in the enclosure must
be avoided!
─start the ‘M110 Configurator’ software
─in the ‘Connection to device’ window set the parameters to default (see Table 7.1) or
click the ‘Use factory settings’ button (see Fig. 7.1)
Fig. 7.1 Start window of configuration software
– press "Connect" button. Connection is established with the default network parame-
ters
– the main window of the configurator opens
