1. ntroduction
TR -C28 provides with 4 optical isolated digital input channels and 4 power relays output. All
channel features screw terminals for convenient connection of field signals as well as LED’s to
indicate channel status. Input channels are equipped with 3750Vms DC isolation, and surge
protection on RS485 data lines that protect the module and devices against high power voltage
input and ground potential differences. For easy user access, TR -C28 can enter configuration
mode and self-test mode with outer dip-switch. TR -C28 support both ASCII and Modbus
protocol, with a full set of command, dual watch-dog, and auto reset function the module can be
bi-directionally remote controlled by C in ASCII or Modbus RTU protocol.

4. System Configuration Switch
The TR -C28 support the Modbus RTU and ASCII communication protocol, It has a two pins
external dip-switch that allow user to select protocol between Modbus/RTU and ASCII. The dip-
switch also provides “back to default” function when user forget the configuring information
stored in EE ROM such as ID (RS-485 Module address), baud rate and data format.
Default setting:
D Address: 01,
Baud Rate: 9600,
D O Mode Type: 40,
Checksum: Disable,
RS485 Communication data format: N, 8, 1.
Modbus Protocol (Factory)
5

Modbus Communication rotocol.
Back to N T for Modbus
1. Adjust the switch to “off off” position
2. Adjust the switch to “on off” position
3. Reboot.
ASC Protocol
ACSII communication protocol.
Back to N T for ASC
1. Adjust the switch to “on off” position
2. Adjust the switch to “on on” position
User may adjust the switch in power on
status, no system reboot require.
Enter self- test mode
Adjust the switch to on on then reboot.
*INIT: ID=00, Baud-Rate: 9600, Data format: 00, Checksum=disable.
5. Function description
Power on mode: When power fail, system reset or host watchdog timeout will cause the
module reboot then into power on mode, the module’s digital output value will return to the
before setting.
And module can accept the host’s command to change the digital output value.
Dual Watchdog: Module self watchdog: The module’s watchdog is a hardware reset circuit
while working in harsh or noisy environment, the module may be down by the external, The
circuit may let the module to work continues and never halt.
Host watchdog: The host watchdog is software function to monitor the module's output states to
prevent the module from communication problem or system halt due to unexpected situation,
It’s purpose is to prevent the RS485 network from communication problem or host halt. When
the timeout interval expired, the module will turn all output to predefined safe value. This can
6

prevent the controlled target from unexpected situation.
Safe mode: If the user install the watch-dog enable on the RS485 line, The host will send the
reset module’s watchdog command one by one, when the host is not send the command (May
be is RS485 off line or host halt), the module will watchdog timeout then into the safe mode, if
the module into the safe mode, the digital out will not be changed until the watchdog disable.
6. TRPCOM Command Protocol Description
Command Format :”Leading Code”+”ID Address”+”Command”+”CHK”+(cr).
Response Format :”Leading Code”+”ID Address”+”Data”+”CHK”+(cr).
7. How to Calculate the Checksum
1. Calculate all characters of the command string to get the ASCII sum, except the character
return.
2. Mask the sum of string with 0FFH.
Example:
Send the command is “$06M”.
Sum of string is “$”+”0”+”6”+”M”=“24H”+”30H”+” 4D“=“A1H”……The checksum and [CHK]=“A1”.
Response string with checksum is:” A1 “.

8-5. Read digital input N channel counter value
Example:
Send command:”#012”…..Read the TR -C28M channel 2 counter value.
Response:”!0100023”…..The digital input have been trigger 23 times.
*Unless you save value to EE ROM by using the command “#IDCS”. The counter’s value will
reset to 0 if power fail or send command “$IDRS”.
8-6. Clear digital input N channel counter value
Example:
Send command:”#01C2”, Clear DI2 counter value to 0.
Response:”!01”.
*If counter’s value already been reset to 0 you must use command “#IDCS” to save the new
value in EE ROM again, or the module will load old value if power fail or reset.
11

8-7.Clear all digital input counters value
Example:
Send command: ”#01CW”, Clear DI0-DI3 counter value to 0.

*Digital input latch: User key in a digital signal to the module and want to read the response of
key stoke. However the user will lost the stoke information because the key input is pulse digital
input. If user read by the command “$ID6” in time A and time B, the response is that no key
stoke. Use command $IDLS can solve this problem, user may read the key stoke in time
position A and B.
