Introduction
SeaI/OTM OEM modules provide a powerful way to add I/O to a variety of computers,
controllers, and PLCs. Each SeaI/O board model is designed for maximum flexibility
and easy field wiring. Ordering options allow connection to the host device via
Wireless 802.11b/g (Coming Soon!), Ethernet, USB, RS-485, or RS-232, and
multiple units can be daisy chained together using convenient pass-through
connectors. For easy software integration, application programs or 3rd party software
can use the Sealevel SeaMAXTM library or industry standard Modbus protocol.

SeaI/O Hardware Description
SeaI/O Base and Expansion Modules
Base OEM modules connect to the host via one of the following interfaces:
E-Series - Ethernet Modbus TCP
U-Series - USB Modbus RTU
M-Series - RS-485 Modbus RTU
S-Series - RS-232 Modbus RTU
After the Base unit is installed, up to 246 additional SeaI/O N-Series Expansion
Modules can be added to create an I/O network. These expansion modules interface
via RS-485 and can be located local to the Base SeaI/O device or remotely located up
to 4000 feet away. Local installations should use the 5” CAT5 RS-485 pass-through
cable (Item# CA239) shipped with each N-series module to connect. Remote
expansion modules should use RS-485 twisted pair wiring from the Base unit
connected via the removable screw terminal connector.
For local installations power to the expansion modules is supplied from the Base unit
via the pass-through connectors. For remote devices, separate power is required at
each expansion unit. Refer to the Power Options section of this manual for more
information on SeaI/O power requirements and power supply sizing.

SeaI/O Module Common Features
All SeaI/O OEM modules include the same connectors and configuration options on
the side of the unit:
NOTE:
RS-485 networks should have termination enabled on each end of
the network. Pull-up and pull-down resistors should also be enabled
on the last device on the network.
The 9-30VDC input barrel connector is center positive.
Status LEDs are also included on the front of all SeaI/O OEM modules to indicate the
following information:
Communication (Yellow) – Blinks when data is transmitted
Fault (Red) – Lights when there is a problem with the device
Status (Green) – See Device Address Configuration section of this manual
oBlinks when the rotary “ADDR” switch is set to “0” and the default
Slave ID is set to 247
oLights steady when module is properly configured from the factory
defaults
