6. Wiring & Installation

6.1 Wet (Active) Inputs

  • Connect sensor positive output to the target DI channel.
  • Connect sensor negative to COM.
  • Supported voltage: 3.3–24 V DC.
  • Typical sources: proximity sensors, PLC transistor outputs, photoelectric sensors.

6.2 Dry (Passive) Inputs

  • Bridge VIN (or external excitation) through the switch contact into the DI channel.
  • Reference the opposite end of the contact to COM.
  • Typical sources: mechanical switches, relay contacts, limit switches, door sensors.

6.3 RS485 Daisy Chain

  • Tie all A terminals together and all B terminals together; share signal ground.
  • Terminate both ends of the bus with 120 Ω resistors.
  • Use shielded twisted pair and keep stubs <1 m.
  • Max segment length: 1200 m at 9600 bps with 32 nodes.

6.4 RS232 Point-to-Point

  • Module TX → Host RX, Module RX → Host TX, GND ↔ GND.
  • Recommended cable length ≤15 m.

8. Configuration & Debugging

7.1 JYDAM Tool Highlights

Function BlockDescription
Communication SettingsSelect serial/IP channel, baud rate, refresh interval.
DI MonitorView live DI status, generate query frames, rename channels.
ConfigurationRead/write baud rate, offset address, working mode, auto-report settings.
Command AreaAuto-build Modbus frames for DI reads and parameter writes.
Debug ConsoleManual hex command injection for advanced testing.

Commissioning Steps

  1. Select the correct COM port (or TCP bridge) and set baud rate (default 9600).
  2. Use broadcast address 254 to discover the module, then assign a unique address.
  3. Verify DI status updates in the DI Monitor pane.
  4. Export logs/Excel data if needed for acceptance tests.

9. Diagnostics & FAQ

IssueProbable CauseRecommended Action
RS232 link unresponsiveTX/RX crossed incorrectlyUse straight-through wiring: RX↔RX, TX↔TX, GND↔GND as per Chinese manual guidance.
DI only turns on, never offAddress mismatch or missing responseConfirm slave address, monitor return frames, and re-check wiring/converter.
Multiple RS485 nodes misbehaveBroadcast address still in useAssign unique addresses; avoid 0xFE when more than one module is online.
