gpio.AO Overview The gpio.NET Core interface is extended by analogue outputs and a frequency generator. Each output is capable to be either current or voltage source. The modules easily integrate into existing Modbus systems and can be identified and configured by a unique serial number even in a running system. Beyond that, they offer a uniform set of registers over the hole gpio.NET family. Draft Drawing 1: Dimensions Interfaces For communication, gpio.NET modules feature up to two Modbus interfaces.

gpio.AO over USB.1 A gpio.NET card is detected as a virtual serial port by the host system and so does not differ from a real one from a programs point of view. USB device port is used as power source if connected to a host. As an alternative, PIN9 from either X10 or X11 can used instead.2 When using PIN9 care has to be taken to use a well-regulated 5 volts source. RS232 A serial interface with RS232 levels is available at gpio.NET module's X11 DSUB connector.

gpio.AO Drawing 2: RS485 bus on USB with additional power supply Individual parts of a bus constructed as shown in drawing 2 can be supplied at arbitrary points by an isolated power supply. Mind to really seperate VBUS of these groups. The example demonstrates this by means of the first card connected to the host PC via USB and the rest of the bus being supplied by a seperate power source. Opened jumper J7 disrupts the VBUS connection on DSUB's PIN9.

gpio.AO related holding registers. USER_WREN Enables write access to the user EEPROM section. CFG_WREN Enables write access to the persitent configuration section. DEFAULT Restores default factory settings. HREG_PM This register is currently unused. HREG_BAUDSEL Specifies the baud rate that is used on RS232/RS485. The register contains one of those selectors described below.

gpio.AO HREG_STOP The number of additional stopbits – default is 0. SERIAL_MODE Selects the mode the serial line operates on. Choose 0 for RS232 or 1 for RS485. MODBUS_MODE To switch between MODBUS RTU and ASCII modes this register is used. Changes will not affect the USB connection that always operates in MODBUS ASCII. Choose 0 for ASCII or 1 for RTU. CH_CFG0/1/2/3 Specifies the operating mode for the corresponding analogue output. Valid modes are listed here.
