### 4. Functionality

Operating Principle:
The W‑M1B301 acts as a remote digital input acquisition module on an RS‑485 Modbus RTU network. A host controller (PLC, PAC, or PC) polls the module for input status or counter values. Each input channel can detect either dry contact closures or voltage‑driven wet signals. The module’s internal microcontroller debounces and latches short pulses, ensuring accurate event capture even at low polling rates.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and control
- Remote data acquisition systems
- Energy management and power distribution monitoring
- Building and facility automation
- Security and alarm systems
- Laboratory and test automation
- Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
- Direct digital control (DDC) systems

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with standard Modbus RTU masters, including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA software, and Advanio’s own configuration utilities. Supports integration with RS‑232/RS‑485 or USB/RS‑485 converters and repeaters for extended networks.

### 6. Installation & Setup

Requirements:
- DC power supply +10 – +60 V DC (ripple ≤ 5 V p‑p)
- Host PC or controller with RS‑485 or converter interface
- Proper grounding (frame ground recommended)

Mounting Options:
- DIN‑Rail 35 mm: Modules dock via fixed seats and pin arrays for power and communication bus sharing.
- Wall Mount: Fixed seat secured by screws; module inserted vertically.

Grounding:
When installed on aluminum DIN‑rail, the rail serves as frame ground (FG). If electrical noise is present, use the provided plastic isolation tab to decouple FG from the rail.

Power Wiring:
Modules share power through the DIN‑rail connector; only one power source per rail segment (max 10 modules ≈ 30 W total). Keep power leads short to minimize voltage drop.

Communication Wiring:
RS‑485 differential pair (D+, D–) daisy‑chained between modules. Terminate the first and last nodes only. Avoid tapping intermediate modules to prevent signal reflections.

Address Configuration:
Two rotary switches set the Modbus node address (01 – F7 hex). Default = 01. Adjust with a screwdriver while power is off.

Baud Rate & Format:
Default = 9600 bps, N, 8, 1. Configurable via Modbus register 44107 (0x100A) or Advanio Utility. Supported baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2 k, 38.4 k, 57.6 k, 115.2 k bps.

Factory Reset:
Press the INIT push‑button for ≥ 3 s to restore defaults (9600 bps N,8,1; address 01). LEDs flash three times to confirm reset.

Indicators:
- Power LED: ON = power good; flashes 3× = initialization complete.
- Communication LED: Flashes on data exchange; steady = timeout.
- System LED: 0.5 s flash = normal; steady = fault; coded patterns indicate EEPROM or configuration errors.




### 7. Performance & Capabilities

- Input Response: Detects logic transitions ≥ 5 ms; latch ensures no missed pulses.
- Counting Function: 16‑bit counter per channel, up to 100 Hz; rising/falling edge selectable.

- Hot‑Swap Recovery: Move EEPROM to replacement module to restore all parameters instantly.
- Watchdog Operation:
- *Module Watchdog:* Hardware reset after 1.6 s inactivity.
- *System Watchdog:* Programmable timeout (0 – 25.5 s) via Modbus registers 44108–44110.
- Communication Distance: Up to 1200 m (4000 ft) per segment; extendable with repeaters.
