Introduction
The M-7000 series is a family of network data acquisition and control modules,
providing analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog, digital input/output, timer/counter and other
functions. The modules can be remotely controlled using a set of commands, which we
call the DCON protocol. Communication between the module and the host is in ASCII
format via an RS-485 bidirectional serial bus standard. Baud Rates are software
programmable and transmission speeds of up to 115.2 Kbps can be selected.
The functionality of the M-7000 series is the same as I- 7000 series, with the exception
that the M-7000 series offers extended support for the Modbus RTU protocol.
The M-7000 DIO modules support TTL signal, photo-isolated digital input, AC voltage
digital input, relay contact output, solid-state relay output, photoMOS output and open-
collector output.

1. Connect the digital input and output.
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.
