### 4. Functionality

The W‑M1B108 functions as a remote analog input node in an RS‑485 Modbus network. A host controller—PLC, PAC, or PC—issues Modbus commands to read temperature or voltage data. Each channel’s configuration (input type, range, CJC enable, scaling) is stored in non‑volatile memory and can be modified via Modbus registers or Advanio’s configuration utility.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial process temperature monitoring
- Energy management and power distribution systems
- Building automation and HVAC control
- Laboratory and test instrumentation
- Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
- Factory automation and machine condition monitoring

Compatibility:
Works with any Modbus RTU master device. Optional Advanio converters (USB‑to‑RS‑485 G‑M1A001, RS‑232‑to‑RS‑485 G‑M1E001) and repeaters (G‑M1F001) extend connectivity.
