Note: When DIP switches 3 to 8 are
OFF, the communication settings are
taken from programming (EEPROM).
SETTING THE SW3 DIP-SWITCHES
Note 1: Since the GND terminal of the RS485 port and the
negative terminal of the analog output are not isolated from
each other, in order to use the analog outputs of several in-
struments simultaneously and connected to each other via the
RS485 port, it is necessary to disconnect the GND terminal of
the RS485 port via the dedicated dip-switch (SW3).
Note 2: The RS485 line must be terminated only at the ends
of the communication line.

ModBUS CONNECTION RULES
1) Install the modules in the DIN rail (120 max)
2) Connect the remote modules using cables of an appropriate length. The following table shows cable length data:
-Bus length: maximum length of the Modbus network according to the Baud Rate. This is the length of the cables
that connect the two farthest modules (see Diagram 1).
-Derivation length: maximum length of a derivation 2 m (see Diagram 1).

For maximum performance, it is recommended to use special shielded cables, such as BELDEN 9841.
(*) Check that the device in question is included in the list of products supported by the Easy Setup APP in the store.
USB PORT
The module is designed to exchange data according to the modes dened by the MODBUS protocol. It has a
micro USB connector on the front panel and can be congured using applications and/or software programs.
The USB communication has priority over the RS485 communication.
The USB serial port uses the following communication parameters: 2400 BAUD, 8BIT, NO PARITY, 1 STOP BIT, ModBUS
ADDRESS 1. The USB communication port responds exactly like the RS485 port with the exception of the
communication parameters. During the use of the USB port, the bus will be inactive; it will reactivate automatically
after disconnecting the USB port cable. EASY SETUP (for Windows systems) is the software to be used for the
conguration and calibration of the load cell.
For more information, visit www.seneca.it/prodotti/z-sg.
INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
The module has been designed for vertical installation on a DIN 46277 rail. For optimal operation and long life,
adequate ventilation must be provided. Avoid positioning ducting or other objects that obstruct the ventilation slots.
Avoid mounting modules over heat-generating equipment.
Installation in the bottom part of the electrical panel is recommended.

Insertion in the DIN rail
As shown in gure:
1. Insert the IDC10 rear connector of the module on a
free slot of the DIN rail
(the insertion is univocal since the connectors are
polarized).
2. To secure the module to the DIN rail, tighten the two
hooks on the sides of the IDC10 rear connector.

If the Z-PC-DINAL2-17.5 accessory is used, signals
can be sent via terminal boards. The illustration
shows the meaning of the various terminals and
DIP-switch position (found in all supports for the DIN
rail listed in Accessories) for the termination of the

Connection cable signal protection shield
(recommended).
CAUTION
The upper power supply limits must not be exceeded, as this could cause serious damage to the module.
To meet the electromagnetic immunity requirements:
• use shielded signal cables;
• connect the shield to a preferential instrumentation earth system;
• separate shielded cables from other cables used for power installations (inverters, motors, induction ovens, etc...).
Power supply
Terminals 2 and 3 can be used to provide the module with power supply as an
alternative to the connection using the Z-PC-DINx bus. The upper limits must
not be exceeded as this can seriously damage the module. If the power
supply source is not protected against overload, a safety fuse with a 2.5A max
permissible value must be installed in the power supply line.
