Caution during Use
© Copyright Reserved Autonics Co., Ltd. vii
Caution during Use
Follow instructions in ‘Caution during Use’. Otherwise, it may cause unexpected accidents.
ABUS power and I/O power should be insulated by the individually insulated power device.
Power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, SELV power
supply device.
Use the rated standard cables and connectors. Do not apply excessive power when
connecting or disconnecting the connectors of the product.
Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.
In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power
line and shielded wire at input signal line.
For the stable operation, use shield wire and ferrite core, when wiring communication wire,
power wire, or signal wire.
Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency
noise.
Do not touch the module communication connecter part of the base.
Do not connect or remove the base while connected to a power source.
For removing the terminal, body or base, do not operate units for a long time without it.
This unit may be used in the following environments.
①Indoors
②Altitude max. 2,000m
③Pollution degree 2
④Installation category II

2 Protocol overview

2Protocol overview
2.1 Modbus RTU
Modbus RTU, a Fieldbus network, is a serial communication protocol designed for use with
programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Simple and robust, Modbus RTU is the de facto standard
communication protocol and a means for connecting industrial electronics.
ARIO-C-MR, Modbus RTU-based coupler, synchronizes the data of all connected I / O modules
with Modbus RTU. The coupler determines the physical structure of the node and automatically
creates a local process image of all the I / O. It also includes a mixed arrangement of analog
(word) and digital (byte) modules.
The process image is divided into input and output data areas.
2.2 Basic memory map of field network
The memory map is based on the addressing system of Autonics.
