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.

7. Installation and Wiring
7.1 Power Wiring
- Connect the positive DC supply to
VIN. - Connect the negative DC supply to
GND. - 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
AtoAandBtoB. - RS232: wire according to the host serial definition and keep signal ground common.
8. Communication and Configuration
8.1 Typical Query Commands (RTU, Hex)
| Model | Command | Description |

| Y301-600 | FE 02 00 00 00 06 EC 07 | Read 6 DI states |
| Y301-800 | FE 02 00 00 00 08 6D C3 | Read 8 DI states |
| Y301-G00 | FE 02 00 00 00 10 6D C9 | Read 16 DI states |
8.2 Configuration Registers
| Register (PLC notation) | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
4x1001 | Communication baud rate | Write the baud-rate code |
4x1003 | Offset address | Device address = offset address + DIP address |
4x1004 | Operating mode | User data register |
4x1005 | Delay time | User data register |
8.3 Baud-Rate Codes
| Code | Baud rate |
|---|---|
| 0 | 9600 |
| 1 | 2400 |
| 2 | 4800 |
| 3 | 9600 |
| 4 | 19200 |
| 5 | 38400 |
After changing the address or baud rate, restart the device and update the host serial settings accordingly.
9. Notes
- When multiple devices share the same RS485 bus, each device must use a unique address.
- Broadcast address
254is recommended for single-device setup only. - Address
0is not used for normal communication. - If reads fail, first check serial parameters, device address, and the RS485 A/B wiring.
- If RS232 communication fails, verify the pinout and common-ground connection.
