1. Overview

The Y301-600/800/G00 are digital input modules in the Y301 family, designed for discrete signal acquisition. The modules use opto-isolated inputs and communicate with PLCs, industrial PCs, or edge gateways over Modbus RTU/ASCII.

The three models differ mainly in input channel count. Power, communication, and mounting specifications remain aligned across the platform.

Mounting35 mm DIN rail
Operating temperature-40 to +85 C
Storage recommendationDry, non-condensing environment

Recommended installation clearance: at least 15 mm above and below, and 10 mm on each side for wiring and heat dissipation.


7. Installation and Wiring

7.1 Power Wiring

  1. Connect the positive DC supply to VIN.
  2. Connect the negative DC supply to GND.
  3. Verify polarity before power-on and use upstream fuse protection when possible.

7.2 DI Input Wiring

  • Dry-contact input: connect the contact between the target DI channel and the common terminal.
  • Active input: wire the 3.3-24 VDC signal to the target DI channel according to the terminal definition.

7.3 Communication Wiring

  • RS485: use shielded twisted pair, wire A to A and B to B.
  • RS232: wire according to the host serial definition and keep signal ground common.

After changing the address or baud rate, restart the device and update the host serial settings accordingly.


9. Notes

  1. When multiple devices share the same RS485 bus, each device must use a unique address.
  2. Broadcast address 254 is recommended for single-device setup only.
  3. Address 0 is not used for normal communication.
  4. If reads fail, first check serial parameters, device address, and the RS485 A/B wiring.
  5. If RS232 communication fails, verify the pinout and common-ground connection.
