romod 16DI - 16 DI Railmodul - 16x LEDs DI-status, 16 connector-DIs
The digital input module romod 16 DI is used for signaling of up to 16 digital messages.
These include operating messages, error messages such as frost, filter dirty or fan belt damaged,
and status messages such as damper positions.
The control of the inputs will be done with 24 V switched by external dry contacts that are
connected to the module via terminals. The reference potential is defined via the COM terminals and can be both,
0 volts and 24 volts. When using a reference potential of 24 volts, a control of the digital inputs with 0 V potential
can be realized. The two COM terminals are connected internally, but not with the GND of the power supply, i.e. that
reference potential for the inputs has to be connected anyway.
Using the settings in Modbus registers, you can select open circuit or closed-circuit principle for each input separately.
Also the color of each of the 16 LEDs is adjustable via a Modbus configuration register, either red, green or orange.
Furthermore, the LEDs can be controlled via Modbus commands, provided that this option previously has been defined in a
configuration register. This setting can be made individually for each LED.
The digital inputs can be used as counters (counter values not stored retentively in case of power failure), but only
for DC signals. For each input, a prescaler may be adjusted in order to count, e.g., just every second or third pulse.
A subsequent change of the prescaler also results in a (retroactive) amendment of the corresponding counter values.
The pulse duration must be at least 10 ms to be reliably detected.
There is a register that displays whether and which DI has changed since the last time this register has been read.
When reading this register, all bits are reset to zero automatically. If a DI's status has altered several times,
e.g. from 0 to 1 and back to 0, a change will be signalized, anyway.
Regarding the system configuration (addressing, maximum number of modules connected to a Modbus Master interface,
installation, connection to the bus etc.), please follow the instructions in the chapter Configuration.

romod 4DIO-R - 4DIO-R Railmodul - 4x LED DO-status, 4x LED var, 4x A-0-H, 24V/3A
The module romod 4DI2DO-R-3P provides 2x 3-point relay outputs in two groups for controlling 2 OPEN-STOP-CLOSE drives
or similar. The four digital inputs can be used to connect and signal four messages, such as operating messages, error messages or
status messages.
The romod 4DI2DO-R-3P is a Local Override/Indication Device (LO/ID), i.e. by means of the integrated switches, the module provides
the ability of manual override of the DOs which are usually controlled via Modbus commands. Two switches belong to each of the two 3-point outputs. One is used to select between automatic mode (activation of the DO via
bus command), OFF and manual override ON. The position of the other switch (OPEN-STOP-CLOSE) only affects the outputs if the
first switch is in the "Manual" position.
Digital Outputs:
The relay outputs provide the normally open contact of each relay.
Important: The signals to be switched must have the same phasing.
For each channel, running times for opening and closing the blinds can be parameterized, as well as times for over- and understeering
(longer activation than required for the complete opening or closing of the blinds).
Please note: The configured running times will only work when the outputs are activated via bus commands.
Digital Inputs:
The control of the digital inputs will be done with 24 V switched by external dry contacts. The reference potential is defined via
the COM terminals and can be both, 0 volts and 24 volts. When using a reference potential of 24 V, a control of the digital inputs
with 0 V potential can be realized.
By means of a configuration register, the four digital inputs can be defined for the use of limit switches. When an end position is
reached, the drive will switch off. At the same time, the position of the blind, which is constantly calculated in the module,
is corrected to 0% (closed) or 100% (open). If no end position is reached in automatic mode within the configured run times, the drive,
however, will switch off for safety reasons, but not in manually oversteered mode.
Furthermore, the digital inputs can also be configured for controlling the outputs using externally connected switches. Doing so,
the outputs can then be controlled in exactly the same way as with the switches on the module. Any configured runtimes are not
taken into account – as is also the case in manually overridden operation.
For AC control of the inputs, the edge detection has to be delayed via configuration registers. In case of 50 Hz, this value should
be set to at least 40 ms in order to avoid the counting of false detections.
romod 4DIO-R - 4DIO-R Railmodul - 4x LED DO-status, 4x LED var, 4x A-0-H, 24V/3A
The module romod 4 DIO-R provides four digital inputs and four digital outputs. It is used to control 1-stage motors, or other
digital actuators, and for signaling of up to four digital messages like operating messages or error messages.
The romod 4 DIO-R is a Local Override/Indication Device (LO/ID), i.e. by means of the integrated switches, the module provides
the ability of manual override of the DOs which are usually controlled via Modbus commands.
Digital Outputs:
The relay outputs provide the normally open contact of each relay.
Important: The signals to be switched must have the same phasing.
By means of configuration registers there can be defined that the digital outputs will also follow the signals of the digital
inputs (in addition to the control via Modbus). Both, static control and toggling are possible. Moreover, on and off delays
can be set for each output, as well as minimum times for the states ON and OFF.
Please note: The configured switching delays and minimum on / off times will only work when the outputs are
activated via bus commands. Whenever manual override is applied, the operator will be responsible for the adherence to these times.
Mutual interlocking of outputs is also possible.
For each DO there is a LED present which signalizes the status of the digital outputs.
The current positions of the switches can be read out using two registers.
There is a register that displays whether and which switch has been operated since the last time this register has been read.
All digital outputs can be configured so that they will assume a defined state ('safe state') if the module has not received
valid bus telegrams via the Modbus for a certain time.
Note: The time for triggering the 'safe state' should not be too short in order to avoid malfunctions as they can
occur, e.g., when another device which is connected to the bus fails and will so cause time-outs.
Digital Inputs:
The control of the DIs will be done with 24 V switched by external dry contacts that are connected to the module via terminals.
The reference potential is defined via the COM terminals and can be both, 0 volts and 24 volts, i.e. that reference potential for
the inputs has to be connected anyway. When using a reference potential of 24 V, a control of the digital inputs with 0 V potential

romod 4DO-R - 4DO-R Railmodul - 8x LED DO-status, 4x A-0-H, 230V/16A
The digital output module romod 4 DO-R is a Local Override/Indication Device (LO/ID) which is used to control four lighting circuits,
or other digital actuators. By means of the integrated push buttons, it provides the ability of manual override of the DOs which are
usually controlled via Modbus commands.
The relay outputs provide the normally open contact of each relay and will be contacted via terminals. They are implemented using
bistable relays.
For each DO there are two LEDs present for indicating the status. The left LED signalizes whether the output is controlled via Modbus
commands or wether it is manually overridden by the push button, whereas the right LED indicates the output's state (ON or OFF).
Changing between the modes 'Automatic' and 'Manual' is done by holding down the push button. The time required for this can be set
together for all four channels. If a button is pressed for a too short time, the left LED ('Automatic') flashes orange for one
single time shortly after releasing the button.
There is a register available that shows whether and which push button has been pressed since the last time this register has been read.
When reading this register, all bits will be reset to zero. The current state of the push buttons and the outputs as well can also be
read out via registers.
Furthermore, via a register there can be configured whether the outputs shall start in automatic mode or manually overridden (OFF).
In addition, a delay time can be defined, which must elapse between the switching of two outputs at least. Thus, the system perturbations
resulting from the switching operations can be reduced.
All digital outputs can be configured so that they will assume a defined state ('safe state') if the module has not received valid
bus telegrams via the Modbus for a certain time. These predefined states are set separately for each output, whereas the time until
activating the safe state is common for all outputs of a module.
Note: The time for triggering the 'safe state' should not be too short in order to avoid malfunctions as they can occur, e.g., when
another device which is connected to the bus fails and will so cause time-outs.
Regarding the system configuration (addressing, maximum number of modules connected to a Modbus Master interface, installation,
connection to the bus etc.), please follow the instructions in the chapter Configuration.

Active signals (0-10V) as well as various passive sensor types (e.g. Pt1000, Ni1000) may be connected to the module.
If an input is configured for 0..10V signals, its value will be signalized by the concerned status LED of the channel
in light / dark operating mode in green colour.

to each other internally and to the GND of the power supply, as well.
The current positions of the switches ('Auto' or 'potentiometer') can be read from a register. Likewise, the potentiometers'
positions can be polled from registers.
There is a register that displays whether and which switch has been operated since the last time this register has been read.
When reading this register, all bits are reset to zero. If the position of a switch has been altered several times, e.g.
from AUTO to POT and back to AUTO, a change will be displayed, anyway.
