SDM-6RO Expansion Module
Product Information
The SDM-6RO module is an innovative device that provides a
simple and cost-effective extension of the number of lines of
output with high current-carrying capacity. The module has 6 relay
outputs, each with three terminals: common (COM), normally open
(NO), or normally closed (NC). This module is connected to the
RS485 bus with twisted-pair wire. Communication is via MODBUS RTU
or MODBUS ASCII. The use of a 32-bit ARM core processor provides
fast processing and quick communication. The module is designed for
mounting on a DIN rail in accordance with DIN EN 5002. The module
is equipped with a set of LEDs used to indicate the status of
inputs and outputs useful for diagnostic purposes and helping to
find errors. Module configuration is done via USB by using a
dedicated computer program. You can also change the parameters
using the MODBUS protocol.

Product Usage Instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully before using
the SDM-6RO module:
Safety rules
Follow the safety rules provided in the user manual to avoid
equipment damage or injury.
Communication configuration
For proper communication configuration, follow the grounding and
shielding instructions provided in the user manual. To eliminate
the presence of reflections from the end of the cable, the cable
must be terminated at both ends with a resistor across the line
equal to its characteristic impedance. Both ends must be terminated
since the direction of propagation is bidirectional. In the case of
an RS485 twisted pair cable this termination is typically 120
Ω.

3. Communication configuration
3.1. Grounding and shielding
In most cases, IO modules will be installed in an enclosure along with other devices which generate electromagnetic radiation. Examples of these devices are relays and contactors, transformers, motor controllers etc. This electromagnetic radiation can induce electrical noise into both power and signal lines, as well as direct radiation into the module causing negative effects on the system. Appropriate grounding, shielding and other protective steps should be taken at the installation stage to prevent these effects. These protective steps include control cabinet grounding, module grounding, cable shield grounding, protective elements for electromagnetic switching devices, correct wiring as well as consideration of cable types and their cross sections.
3.2. Network Termination
Transmission line effects often present a problem on data communication networks. These problems include reflections and signal attenuation.
To eliminate the presence of reflections from the end of the cable, the cable must be terminated at both ends with a resistor across the line equal to its characteristic impedance. Both ends must be terminated since the direction of propagation is bidirectional. In the case of an RS485 twisted pair cable this termination is typically 120 .
3.3. Setting Module Address in RS485 Modbus Network
The following table shows how to set switch to determine the address of the module. The module address is set with the switches in the range of 0 to 127. Addresses From 128 to 255 can by set via RS485 or USB.
Switch
Adress
SW1
+1
SW2
+2
SW3
+4
SW4
+8
SW5
+16
SW6
+32
SW7
+64
Ex. if switches 1, 3 and 5 are on than module addres is: Address = 1 + 4 + 16 = 21

3.5.4. Watchdog function
This 16-bit register specifies the time in milliseconds to watchdog reset. If module does not receive any valid message within that time, all Digital and Analog Outputs will be set to the default state.
This feature is useful if there is an interruption in data transmission and for security reasons. Output states must be set to the appropriate state in order to assure the safety of persons or property.
The default value is 0 milliseconds which means the watchdog function is disabled.
Range: 0-65535 ms
