Introduction

The ioThinx 4510 is an advanced modular remote I/O product with a

unique hardware and software design, making it an ideal solution for a

variety of industrial data acquisition applications.

The ioThinx 4510 has 2 Ethernet ports that support a daisy-chain

topology to save cabling cost, as well as 1 RS-232/422 port or 2

RS-485 (2-wire) ports to enable Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP/SNMP/

RESTful protocol conversion. In addition, the ioThinx 4510 supports

up to 32 I/O modules to help users collect data from field sites.

The ioThinx 4510 supports tool free installation and removal. With

its unique mechanical design, users can mount the module on the

DIN-rail and later remove it, all tool free. In addition, the ioThinx 4510

has new web user interface. Using the new friendly web design, users

can easily monitor the I/O status via the web dashboard and configure

I/O modules.

Easy Tool-Free Installation and Removal

The ioThinx 4500 Series has a unique mechanical design that reduces

the amount of time required for installation and removal. In fact,

screw drivers and other tools are not required for any part of the

hardware installation, including mounting the device on a DIN-rail, as 

well as connecting the wiring for both communication and I/O signal

acquisition. Furthermore, no tools are required to remove the ioThinx

from a DIN-rail. Removing all of the modules from a DIN-Rail is also

easy using the latch and release tab.

Easy Web Configuration/Reconfiguration

For modular remote I/O setups, one of the greatest difficulties is

duplicating configuration settings to the current modules with different

module combinations. After adding, moving, or deleting one of the

modules, configuration of the unchanged modules, including the

Modbus address and RESTful APIs to the upper software, need to be

reconfigured. The ioThinx 4510’s user-friendly web configuration tool 

was designed specifically to make configuration and reconfiguration

easy; no reconfiguration efforts required for the unchanged modules.

In addition, the ioThinx 4510’s web interface supports module/channel

unique names. This feature also applies to Modbus TCP and RESTful

API, saving users a lot of time on development and deployment.

Built-In Modbus RTU Gateway Function

The ioThinx 4510 supports Modbus RTU Master for retrieving field site

data from serial meters. After collecting the data, users can convert the

serial data to a variety of protocols, including Modbus TCP, SNMP, and

RESTful, allowing users to get field site data in their protocol of choice. 

This two-in-one design reduces system complexity, the amount of

space required in the network topology, as well as overall installation

time. In addition, you can extend the useful life of legacy devices by

connecting them to Ethernet and access the devices using a preferred

protocol.
