DIP Switch Setting

Thank you for choosing Delta RTU-485 communication module. RTU-485 is a Modbus remote I/O
communication module for Delta's PLC to remote-control Slim series DI/DO and AI/AO extension units.
As a standard Modbus slave, RTU-485 is compatible with other master station complying with Modbus
protocol.

RUN

Please read this instruction sheet carefully before use.

Switch off the power before wiring.

RTU-485 is an OPEN-TYPE device and therefore should be installed in an enclosure free of airborne dust,
humidity, electric shock and vibration. The enclosure should prevent non-maintenance staff from operating the
device (e.g. key or specific tools are required to open the enclosure) in case danger and damages on the
device may occur.

DO NOT touch the internal circult in one minute after the power is switched off.

DO NOT connect input AC power supply to any of the I/O terminals; otherwise serious damage may occur.
Check all the wiring again before switching on the power and DO NOT touch any terminal when the power is
switched on. Make sure the ground terminal
is correctly grounded in order to prevent electromagnetic
interference.

A LA RM

Example: Use function code 03 to read CR0 and CR1 in the 1st AI/AO extension unit: (ASCII mode)
The request message sent from master PLC to RTU-485 is : 01 03 16 00 00 02 E4 CR LF
The responding message sent from RTU-485 to the master PLC is : 01 03 04 00 88 00 00 70 CR LF
