Functional Description

Analog Input Channels can measure voltage (0-10V) or current (4-20mA) signals from sensors, transducers, and other analog devices.

Digital Input Channels can detect switch states, limit sensors, proximity sensors, or dry contact devices.

Digital Output Channels can drive relays, solenoids, indicator lamps, or other external loads.

RS485 Communication enables reliable data transmission over long distances using Modbus RTU protocol.

Watchdog Function automatically resets outputs to safe states if communication is lost.

Configuration Tool provides an intuitive interface for setting Modbus address, I/O mode, and monitoring signal status.
