Operational Information

IOMOD uses Modbus (RTU) or IEC-60870-103 or IEC-60870-101 protocols over RS485 connection, which can be used with cable length up to 1500 meters and connect up to 30 devices on one line. Default Modbus settings are: 9600 baudrate, 8 databits, N parity, 1 stopbit , Slave address - 1.

To read temperature and humidity, user can use device with default settings without configuring it. To read humidity, send 04 Modbus command (Read Input Registers) with resolution of first register (0). Returned value will be measured in % and will be multiplied by 10, to show one decimal place. To read temperature, send 04 (Read Input Registers) with resolution of second register (1). The returned value will be measured in °C and will be multiplied by 10.

IOMod HT advanced temperature and humidity limit operation logic

First Relay (Heater):

Activation Conditions: When temperature drops below lower limit OR humidity exceeds upper limit.
Deactivation Conditions: When temperature rises by 5 degrees above the set temperature limit.

This logic ensures that the heater is activated when the conditions are too cold (temperature drops below the lower limit) or too humid, and it's deactivated when the temperature rises sufficiently.

Second Relay (Fan):

Activation Conditions: When temperature or humidity exceeds the upper limit.
Deactivation Conditions: When humidity decreases by 10% AND temperature gets below the set temperature limit by 5 degrees.

This logic ensures that the fan is activated when conditions are too hot or humid, and it's deactivated when both humidity decreases sufficiently and temperature decreases to a set level.

To enable thermostat function, user can configure device over USB or over MODBUS. Configurable options are shown in table below.

IEC 60870-5-103 working information

Initialization

IOmod uses a standard IEC-60870-5-103 communication scheme. Initiation, control messages and queries are initiated by the master (controlling station), while IOmod device (controlled station) only answers these requests. Therefore, the first message should be sent by master to start/restart communication (7 (RESET CU or LINK RESET FCB). This message is answered by IOmod with an acknowledgement (ACK) to enable master to proceed with sending other messages defined by IEC- 60870-5-103 protocol. Other messages are ignored until a successful initialization has taken place.

Data polling

When initialization is complete, master may poll IOmod device with both Class 1 and Class 2 requests. Class 2 is used when master polls for a cyclic data. Controlled device answers with a message containing Access Demand flag when spontaneous data exists and master then sends request for Class 1. IOmod would then respond with time-tagged message.

On first Class 1 request IOmod device always asks for the Access Demand to send an identification string. However, if there are spontaneous messages to be sent, they will be sent before the identification string.

Output control

To control device outputs master (controlling station) sends command conforming to the IEC-60870-5-103 protocols. It should contain output address which is 160 by default. Info number 0 represents humidity, 1 is temperature, 2 - communication error (this applies for basic version). Successful command is accepted with a positive acknowledge. Negative acknowledge is returned if the output is already set or if another command for the same output is already in progress and hasn’t finished yet.

Sensor messages

When sensor status changes, IOmod device filters input glitches through filters with a user configurable filter time. When the filter is passed device sends message with “Function type” as input address (default function type of inputs – 255), and “Info number” as input pin number.

Time synchronization

To initiate the time synchronization between devices master must send variable frame, with function code “User data with ACK”, ASDU type “6” and Cause of Transmission “8”. Info elements must contain the 7- byte time structure.

As per IEC-60870-5-103 protocol specification time synchronization can be completed for multiple devices using broadcasting messages. It is included in IEC-60870-5-103 firmware since version 1.7.3. To broadcast time synchronization message, link address should be equal to 255.

General interrogation

General Interrogation (GI) is initiated by the master with variable frame, including function code “3” (User data with ACK), ASDU type “7” and Cause of Transmission “9”. Slave device then responds with an acknowledgement (ACK). Master gets GI data by polling with Class 2 request till slave transmits “End of GI” (Cause of Transmission – “10”). IOmod device responds with a time-tagged message, including DPI states of inputs and outputs (Outputs are sent first). Output and input numbers are represented by “Info number” in protocol.

IEC 60870-5-101 working information

Initialization

IOmod uses a standard IEC-60870-5-101 communication scheme. Initiation, control messages, and queries are initiated by the master (controlling station), while the IOmod device (controlled station) only answers these requests. Therefore, the first message should be sent by the master to request status of link (function code = 9). This message is answered by IOmod with the status of link (function code = 11) if link is available. Otherwise there is going to be no response. After receiving the status of link the master will send Reset of remote link command (function code = 0) to restart the communication. The IOMod can respond with either acknowledgment (function code = 0, ACK) or Negative Acknowledgment (function code = 1, NACK). If IOMod respond is ACK then the initialization procedure is finished. The described procedure enables the master to proceed with sending other messages defined by the IEC-60870-5-101 protocol.

Data polling

When initialization is complete, the master may request data from the IOmod device with general interrogation. Although according to the protocol specification IOMod will send data on value change, the HT IOMod responds with type 30 (M_SP_TB_1) a single point value with a time tag.

Output control

To control device outputs master (controlling station) sends a command conforming to the IEC-60870-5-101 protocols. Negative acknowledge is returned if the sent command isn't configured. For example wrong address or type.

Sensor messages

When input status changes, IOmod device filters input glitches through filters with a user-configurable filter time. When the filter is passed device sends a message with the 36 data type (M_ME_TF_1) if the measurements type is float, if it is integer, the device sends a message with the 34 data type (M_ME_TD_1),

Time synchronization

To initiate the time synchronization between devices the master must send a Clock Sync command. The command type is C_CS_NA_1 (103) and the Cause of Transmission (COT) has to be 6. The command has to be sent to the correct link address and CASDU, which is the same as the link address by default. If the sent frame is correct the IOMod will respond with a C_CS_NA_1 (103) type command with the COT (cause of transmission) of 7 and the p/n bit will be positive (0) also the command will be time-tagged with the device time. If the time synchronization feature is disabled or the command is sent to an undefined CASDU the response is the same except the p/n bit will be negative (1).

General interrogation

General Interrogation (GI) is initiated by the master sending the General Interrogation command. The command type is C_IC_NA_1 (100) and the Cause of Transmission (COT) has to be 6. The command has to be sent to the correct link address and CASDU, which is the same as the link address by default. If the sent frame is correct the IOMod will respond with a C_IC_NA_1 (103) type command with the COT (cause of transmission) of 7 and the p/n bit will be positive (0). Otherwise, it will respond with the same command just that the p/n bit will be negative (1). Then the device will begin to send all of its data. After that's done the IOMOD will also send another 100 type command with the COT (cause of transmission) of 10 (ActTerm) meaning the general interrogation is over.

Firmware upgrade over USB

To update device firmware user must enter main configuration menu.
Enter Firmware update screen by pressing [8];
Confirm update by pressing [1];

User then must delete existing file “firmware.bin”, and simply upload new firmware file by drag and drop, Fig. 7.

Fig. 7.

Reconnect device and check firmware version. It should now represent the one it was updated to.

Testing With “THE VINCI” software

To test IOMOD HT with default settings, user can connect device through RS485 to Modbus or IEC-60870 (depending on firmware) master or using USB Simulation Mode. Example will show The Vinci Expert as serial interface converter and adapter to PC with The Vinci software. Default settings – 9600 baud; 8 databits, even parity, 1 stop bit. When opening The Vinci software, choose IEC 60870-5-101 – Master mode. In Settings tab, change the IAO size in bytes to 1, as that is the default setting; configure a tag as shown in Fig. 8 (floating type is 36, integer type is 34); press Start and go to Statistic tab.

Fig. 8.

Fig. 9. Basic version example.

Floating measurements type represents the exact value of the registers, integer measurements type is multiplied by 10. To counter that the user must multiply the signals values by 0.1 in the configuration file.
