### 4. Functionality

The EX9063AD‑M functions as a remote digital I/O node on an RS‑485 network. It converts field‑level discrete signals into Modbus RTU data frames for supervisory control systems.

Operation Principle:
- Inputs: Accepts isolated digital signals from sensors, switches, or logic devices. Each input is optically isolated to prevent ground loops and interference.
- Outputs: Three AC solid‑state relays switch AC loads such as solenoids, contactors, or indicators.
- Communication: The module exchanges data with a Modbus master (PLC, PC, or HMI) using standard Modbus function codes (0x01, 0x02, 0x05, 0x0F, etc.).
- Status Indication: Each channel’s LED reflects its ON/OFF state for quick diagnostics.
- Watchdog Logic: If communication fails, outputs revert to predefined “Safe Values.”

Typical Applications:
- Industrial automation and process control
- Building management systems (lighting, HVAC)
- Remote equipment monitoring
- Machine I/O expansion
- Energy management and facility control

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with Modbus RTU‑compliant devices and SCADA/HMI software such as Wonderware, Citect, or LabVIEW via RS‑485 serial interface.

- Configuration can be changed via Modbus commands or INIT* mode.

INIT* Mode Operation:
1. Power off the module.
2. Connect INIT* pin to GND (or slide INIT switch to “Init”).
3. Power on to enter configuration mode.
4. Adjust address, baud rate, or protocol settings.
5. Power cycle to apply changes.
