1. Introduction
The M-7016 supports full-bridge strain gauges and provides 2 Analog Input channels, 1
excitation voltage output channel, 1 Digital Input channels and 4 Digital Output channels.
The module provides a programmable input range (±15 mV, ±50 mV, ±100 mV, ±500
mV, ±1 V, and ±2.5 V) and each Analog Input channel can be individually configured.
Excitation voltage output can be in the range of 0 ~ +10 V, with a 40 mA driving
efficiency. Digital Output channels can also be set as high or low alarm outputs. The M-
7016 supports both the Modbus RTU and DCON protocols, which can be configured via
software, and all hardware specifications are the same as the I-7016.

5. Configuration
To install the module, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the thermistor analog input.
2. Connect the module to the RS-485 network using the DATA+ and DATA- terminals. If
the host is only equipped with an RS-232 interface, then an RS-232 to RS-485
converter will be required.
3. Connect the module to the power supply using the +Vs and GND terminals. Note that
the voltage supplied should be in the range of +10 to +30V DC.

7. For M-7000 modules using the Modbus RTU protocol, configure the module using the
following functions.
Sub-function 04h of Function 46h, see user manual Section 3.3.2
Sub-function 06h of Function 46h, see user manual Section 3.3.4
Sub-function 08h of Function 46h, see user manual Section 3.3.6
For M-7000 modules using the Modbus RTU protocol, use Function 04h to read the
data from the input channels. See user manual Section 3.2 for details.
