Pin Assignment ：
2 Booting the tM-Series in Init Mode
Make sure the switch is placed in the “Init” position.
Connecting to the PC and the Power Supply
The tM-Series series is equipped with an RS-485 port for connection to a 232/USB converter to PC
Installing the DCON Utility
The DCON Utility is an easy-to-use tool designed to enable simple configuration of I/O modules that use the DCON protocol.
Step 1: Locate the DCON Utility
The DCON Utility can be obtained from the companion CD or from the ICPDAS FTP site:
CD:\Napdos\8000\NAPDOS\Driver\DCON_Utility\setup\
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/driver/dcon_utility/
Step 2: Follow the prompts to complete the installation
After the installation has been completed, there will be a new shortcut to the DCON Utility on the desktop.
5 Using the DCON Utility to Initialize the TM-Series Module
The M-Series is an I/O module based on the DCON protocol, meaning that you can use the DCON Utility to easily initialize it.
Step 1: Run the DCON Utility
Double-click the DCON Utilityshortcut on your desktop.
Step 2: Use the COM1 port to communicate with the tM-Series
Click the “COM Port” option from the menu and a dialog box will be displayed that will allow you to set the communication parameters as described in the table below.
Step 3: Search for the TM-Series module
Click the “Start Search” button from the toolbox to search for the tM-Series module. After the TM-Series module is displayed in the list, click the “Stop Search” button.
Step 4: Connect to the tM-Series
After clicking on the name of the module in the list, a dialog box will be displayed. 
Step 5: Initialize the TM-Series module
Set the “Address” field in the dialog box to 1 and then click the “Setting” button to save the settings.
6 Rebooting the TM-SeriesModule in Normal Mode
Make sure the INIT switch is placed in the “Normal” position.
Starting the Module Operation
After rebooting the TM-Series module, search for the module to make sure the settings have been changed. You can double-click on the name of the module in the list to open the configuration dialog box.
