8 channel analogue signal to digital interface module for converting voltage or current signal inputs to a single RS-485 communication interface using Modbus RTU transmission protocol. The voltage version will accept 0-10Vdc, 2-10Vdc, 0-5Vdc or 1-5Vdc input, and the current version will accept a 0-20mA or 4-20mA input.

Product Description
Module SIAi-8 allows to measure analog values from 8 current or voltage inputs via the RS-485 connection, with speed rate about 10 Hz (every channel).
Measurement results can be internally recalculated due to one of the available characteristics: linear, square or user definable multipoint (max. 20 points length). The SIAi-8 module is typically used in distributed control and visualization systems. Standard Modbus transmission functions are included in the SIAi-8 for changing device address or detecting type.
All SIAi-8 operating functions, available via the RS-485, can be implemented from any typical visualization software, or for instance with a suitable MultiCon CMC controller.

Connection and Operation
Connect the supply voltage to the module (+Uz, -Uz, typically 24V DC) and two wires RS-485 (A+, B-) communication interface.
Module inputs are located on the lower edge of the case (look: bottom view). Directly after power on the device is signalling its normal operation flashing green LED, marked “RUN” (about 2 times/sec.).
Short flashes of LED marked “TX/ERROR” signalize activity of RS-485 interface, and permanent light of this LED means malfunction of the device. Module makes the measurements from eight inputs in cycles.
