The EX1608DD module is a compact I/O module that interfaces 16 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs via Modbus RTU over RS485. It supports high-speed communication up to 1Mb/s and configurable parameters like address, baudrate, and parity. The inputs and outputs are isolated and protected. Configuration is done through Modbus commands, CoDeSys function blocks, or PC software.

Digital I/O compact modules with Modbus RTU protocol
I/O interface modules with digital inputs and outputs controlled via Modbus RTU over RS485 serial bus at high speed. The modules can also be installed hundreds of meters away with simplifications and savings in wiring.
High luminosity LEDs for visual signalling of all I/O status with power-on test function. Programmable timer for forcing outputs in the inactive state in case of the communication fault. Configurable over fieldbus with Modbus direct commands, function block of CoDeSys library and PC software. Easy integration into PLC Configuration menu of CoDeSys using a configuration file. Extensions of the Modbus protocol for updating the I/O up to 1Mb/s in a single frames exchange.
The input and output ports are galvanically isolated. The
static outputs, designed with high-current MOSFET, are fully protected against permanent short-circuit, over-voltage and overtemperature. SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE: to restore the default values the module must be powered
on with PG button pressed until the LEDs light up for the initial test. The Reset time sets the maximum time allowed between two successive and correct sequences of communication. In case of absence or error of the frames, automatically the watchdog timer turns off the outputs of the module. To change the communication parameters is available on PC the Modbus-Tool software that allows the reading and writing of the configuration of modules connected to the network and performs other useful service functions. The Test module function automatically detects the type of device to a specific network address and allows testing of all its I/O resources. The Test function menu can send the individual codes of protocol to one of the connected modules, acting as a Modbus master simulator.
Modbus data model
The resources available in the module are mapped to Modbus data areas using the following format: Address

Inputs bits IN00 IN15
1, 5, 15
Output bits OUT00 OUT07

Input Registers
For the configuration can also be used a dedicated function block
from MODBUS_EX.lib CoDeSys library. An IEC program, ready to be used as configuration utility, also indicates how to integrate this functionality into your application.
The EX series modules can be easily inserted into IEC application
using CoDeSys development tool. The composition of PLC Configuration is made by loading consecutively all the modules connected, by selecting them from the menu listbox. The information on module resources are automatically readed from a specific file provided with the tool. For the Modbus communication management, a simple function block of library must be inserted in the application. This block extracts information from the PLC configuration to update all the I/O of modules. For more information about configuring and using modules refer to the specific documentation.
