Note: The test need to carry out with factory parameter.
2.1 Devices required
ME31-AAAX4220 12V SMPS USB to RS485
Computer RJ45 Cable More cables
2.2 Device connection
2.2.1 RS485 connection

3
Note: When the 485 bus high frequency signal is transmitted, the signal wavelength is shorter than the transmission
line, and the signal will form a reflected wave at the end of the transmission line, which will interfere with the
original signal. Therefore, a terminal resistance must be added at the end of the transmission line to prevent the
signal from being reflected after reaching the end of the transmission line. The terminal resistance should be the
same as the impedance of the communication cable, with a typical value of 120 ohms. Its function is to match the
bus impedance and improve the anti-interference and reliability of data communication.

4 Product function introduction
4.1DI input
4.1.1Switch input DI acquisition
Switch input DI measurement level signal or edge pulse signal (rising edge, falling edge). Support dry node
collection, support DI counting function, the maximum count is 65535 (the count is automatically cleared if it
exceeds 65535).
The switch input DI branch has three trigger modes: rising edge, falling edge and level (default rising edge
trigger).
The clearing method supports automatic clearing and manual clearing (default automatic clearing).
4.1.2 Input filtering
When the switch input DI collects the signal, it needs to keep several sampling cycles before confirming. Filter
parameters can be set in the range of 1 to 16 (default 6 sampling periods, 6*1kHz).
It can be configured with the host computer through instructions.
4.2 AI input
4.2.1 Analog range
Analog input AI measurement current signal, with a collection range of 0-20mA or 4-20mA, an accuracy of
3 ‰, and a resolution of 12 bits. Adopting single ended input, sampling frequency 10Hz, input impedance 100 Ω.
Set the sampling range for all AI channels, with valid values of 1 and 0 (default 0).
Configuration is 0: represents 0-20mA
Configuration is 1: represents 4-20mA
[Note] AI Configuration Description
(1) The AI sampling range for each channel can be set. When the AI channel sampling range is configured to
4-20mA sampling, 0 is displayed if the current signal is below 3.5mA, and 4 is displayed if it is above 3.5mA and
below 4mA. There is no conversion limit for signals greater than 20mA, but it cannot exceed 25mA (exceeding
25mA may pose a risk of equipment damage).
(2) The starting address of the AI channel sampling range parameter is 0x04B2, the register type is holding
register, and the function codes are 0x06 and 0x10. When writing the AI channel sampling range parameter, if the
written parameter value is not within the range of 0-1, the closest value will be automatically taken for writing. If
the writing sampling range parameter is 2, the device takes 1 as the sampling range parameter, and Modbus does
not return an error command.

13
4.2.2 Trigger mode

(1) Not triggered: mode off.
(2) Rising trigger: When the AI input value becomes greater than the set AI trigger high value, the AI trigger
becomes high (i.e. the output state is 1), generating a rising edge trigger. After triggering, as long as the AI value is
not lower than the set AI trigger low value, the current output value remains 1 (can be combined with DO linkage).
(3) Descending trigger: When the AI input value becomes less than the set AI trigger low value, the AI trigger
becomes low (i.e. the output state is 0), generating a falling edge trigger. After triggering, as long as the AI value is
not higher than the set AI trigger high value, the current output value remains 0 (can be combined with DO
linkage).
(4) Bilateral trigger: When the AI input value becomes greater than the set AI trigger high value, the AI trigger
becomes high (i.e. the output state is 1), generating a rising edge trigger. After triggering, as long as the AI value is
not lower than the set AI trigger low value, the current output value remains 1; When the AI input value becomes
less than the set AI trigger low value, the AI trigger becomes low (i.e. the output state is 0), generating a falling
edge trigger. After triggering, as long as the AI value is not higher than the set AI trigger high value, the current
output value remains 0 (can be combined with DO linkage).
4.2.3Analog input engineering quantity shaping value, engineering quantity
floating point value
There are two ways to read the current signal size collected by the device:
(1) Read the AI engineering quantity shaping value and directly convert it to obtain the input current. The
starting address of the AI engineering quantity shaping value register is 0x0064, the register type is input
register, and the read function code is 0x04. This method returns a register representing one channel and reads
values ranging from 0 to 25000. The method for calculating the current size is 0-25000 corresponding to
0-25A. Namely:
Current=engineering quantity value/1000 (mA)
(2) Read the floating point value of AI engineering quantity, and use IEE754 conversion tool to convert
hexadecimal data to Floating-point arithmetic to get the input current. The starting address of the AI engineering
quantity shaping value register is 0x00C8, the register type is input register, and the read function code is 0x04.
This method returns two registers representing one channel.
4.2.4 AI Filter parameters
The filtering parameters of the AI channel can be set, with valid values ranging from 1 to 16 and a default value of
6.
Filter parameter description:
(1) All AI channels share a common filtering parameter, and the higher the parameter value, the more stable the
output value, and the slower the response.
(2) The AI channel filtering parameter address is 0x04B0, and the register type is a holding register. Function codes
0x06 and 0x10.
(3) When writing AI filtering parameters, if the parameter values written are not within the range of 1-16, the

14
closest value will be automatically taken for writing. If the filtering parameter is written as 0, the device will take 1
as the filtering parameter, and Modbus will not return error instructions.
4.3 DO output
The output mode of the relay outputs different modes based on the user set mode, with the default level output
turned on.
4.3.1 Input Count
Supports counting of DI inputs, and users can configure it for rising edge acquisition, falling edge acquisition,
and level acquisition according to their own needs. You can also change the reset method according to your needs.
Trigger method:
Rising edge: Collect the rising edge (without counting on conduction, counting on shutdown) and count once.
Falling edge: Collect the falling edge (counted when conducting, not when releasing) and count once.
Level: Collect two edges and count them separately.
Zeroing method:
Automatic: The device will automatically reset every time the DI count value register (0x09DF~0x09E6) is
read.
Manual: The manual mode requires a write 1 operation on the reset signal registers (0x0AA7~0x0AAE), with
each holding register controlling one reset signal.
4.3.2 Level Output
According to the level set by the user, the switch characteristic of the level mode is similar to the function of a
self-locking switch.
4.3.3 Pulse output
After the switch output DO is turned on, the switch output DO is automatically turned off after maintaining the
set pulse width time (in ms). The pulse width setting range is 50~65535ms (50ms by default).
4.3.4 Follow mode
According to the following source configured by the user (when the device has AI acquisition or DI detection
function, DI or AI can be used as the following source, otherwise this function is useless) to change the relay state,
multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output, simply DI When the input is detected, the relay is
automatically output as the following source (for example: DI is 1, DO is closed). When the follow mode is turned
on, the follow source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by default.

15
4.3.5 Reverse follow mode
According to the following source configured by the user (when the device has AI acquisition or DI detection
function, DI or AI can be used as the following source, otherwise this function is useless) to change the relay state,
multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output, simply DI When the input is detected, the relay is
automatically output as the following source (for example: DI is 1, DO is disconnected). When the follow mode is
turned on, the follow source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by
default.
4.3.6 Trigger flip mode
According to the following source configured by the user (when the device is equipped with AI acquisition or
DI detection function, DI or AI can be used as the following source, otherwise this function is useless) to change
the relay state, multiple outputs can follow the same follow source output, simply speaking, when When DI
generates a trigger signal (rising edge or falling edge), DO will have a state change. When the trigger flip mode is
turned on, the following source should be configured at the same time, otherwise it will follow the first input by
default.
4.3.7 Power-on state
According to the state set by the user. After the device is powered on, the output relay is turned on according
to the state set by the user, and it is turned off by default.
4.4 Modbus gateway
The device can transmit non local Modbus instructions from the network/serial port to the serial port/network,
and the local Modbus instructions can be executed directly.
4.4.1 Modbus TCP/RTU Protocol Conversion
After being turned on, the Modbus TCP data on the network side will be converted into Modbus RTU data.
4.4.2 Modbus address filtering
This function can be used in certain host software or configuration screens as the host to access the device
serial port, and the gateway function of the device is used. When the slave is on the network side and the Modbus
TCP to RTU function is enabled, the presence of multiple slaves on the bus may cause data confusion. At this time,
enabling address filtering can ensure that only the specified address can pass through the device; When the
parameter is 0, data is transmitted through, and when the parameter is 1-255, data is only transmitted through the
set slave address.

4.5 IO Linkage function
The linkage function is divided into AI-DO linkage and DI-DO linkage
Generally speaking, the linkage function needs to be divided into two parts.
The first part is the trigger source: both AI/DI input, the second part is the trigger: both DO/AO output
1. When DI is used as the trigger source, DI input status and DI changes can be used as signals, according to the
corresponding configuration of DO
a. In the following/reverse following mode, the current state of DI will be used as a signal, and the state of DO is
the same/opposite to that of DI
b. Trigger inversion mode, DI state change is used as a signal, if the trigger signal is set to DI rising edge change,
the current state of DO will change once
2. When AI is used as the trigger source, the AI signal is processed into a signal similar to DI through a process
similar to Schmitt trigger (refer to Chapter 4.2.2), and then this signal is linked with DO. The linkage process can

17
refer to DI/DO linkage.
4.6 Active upload
The device supports the function of uploading analog input values at fixed time intervals. Setting the value of
the corresponding register can control the interval time and whether to upload or not.
The device with digital input will actively upload once after connecting to the server successfully, and then the
digital input will be uploaded following the status change, and the device with analog input will report the status of
the analog input according to the configuration of the active upload time period (the configuration period is
1-65535 ).
When set to 0, the upload is closed, and when set to another positive integer value N, the upload is performed
at intervals of N seconds.
[Note] The device can only be valid if it is in the client mode configuration. If the register value is non-zero,
active uploading is enabled.
4.7 Custom Module Information
4.7.1 Modbus address
The default address of the device is 1, and the address can be modified. The address range is 1-247.
