### 4. Functionality

Operating Principle:
The W‑M1B105 converts analog voltage, current, or thermocouple signals into digital data using 16‑bit A/D converters. Each pair of channels shares one ADC, allowing independent configuration per group. The module communicates with a host controller (PLC, PAC, PC, or HMI) via RS‑485 using the Modbus/RTU protocol. The host polls the module for input data or configuration parameters.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and control
- Remote data acquisition systems
- Energy management and power distribution monitoring
- Building automation and HVAC control
- Laboratory instrumentation and test benches
- Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
- Security and environmental monitoring systems

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with Modbus/RTU masters, including PLCs, DCS, SCADA software, and Advanio’s ARIO configuration utility. Can be integrated with other Wolf Series modules (digital I/O, relay, analog output) on the same RS‑485 bus.

Snap the detachable base onto the rail; modules interconnect via 14‑pin docking connectors for power and communication daisy‑chain.
- Wall Mount:
Secure the base using screws through designated mounting holes.

Electrical Grounding:
Modules installed on aluminum DIN rails use the rail as frame ground (FG). Plastic isolation tabs can be used to isolate FG if noise or poor grounding exists.

Power Wiring:
Connect +VS (10–60 VDC) and GND to the power connector. Ripple must not exceed 5 V p‑p. Only one power source per rail segment; up to 10 modules (~30 W total) per rail.

Communication Wiring:
RS‑485 D+ and D− lines connect in daisy‑chain topology. Use twisted‑pair shielded cable; terminate the last node with 120 Ω resistor.
Baud rate and parity configurable via Modbus register 44107 (0x100A).

Node Address Setting:
Two rotary switches (SW1 = ones, SW2 = tens) set Modbus address 1–247. Power must be cycled after adjustment.

Indicators:
- Power LED: ON = power OK
- System LED: flashing = normal operation; steady = fault
- Communication LED: flashes on data exchange

Factory Reset:
Press INIT button ≥ 3 s to restore defaults (9600 bps, N,8,1, address 01).
