Start-up.

  1. Connect 24 Vdc to O and P.
  2. Connect CAT5 crossover cable to PC and Ethernet RJ45 Port on the DAT8024.
  3. Connect a Multimeter to measure Current to terminals 1 and 2 or terminals 3 and 4 to measure Voltage.
  4. Power up the DAT8024 Modbus TCP analog output Module.

It is extremely important to use a Cat 5 Crossover cable unless a router is used.

What is a DAT 8024 41016?
The DAT8024 41016 is a Master TCP device designed to read from a dedicated client using the Read Input 03 function. It provides a 4 to 20 mA output, which is equivalent to a 4 to 20 mA input on a DAT8015, and can also interface with other Modbus servers. For proper functionality, it's essential that the target registers be sequential; otherwise, the DAT8024 41016 can only convert a single register. Additionally, it incorporates Zero and Span mathematical corrections, enabling the conversion of values such as from 0-100% to 4000-20000, corresponding to a 4-20mA output.
What is a DAT 8024 240218?
The DAT8024 240218 is similar to the DAT8024 41016, but reads function 04 Holding registers.
