Image RemovedProduct page: https://vutlan.com/devices/135-vt336-din-io-controller.html

The industrial DIN monitoring and control system (I/O controller) is specially designed for DIN-rail mounting racks. Includes x6 analog sensors, CAN sensor bus, Ethernet port, RS-485 / Modbus RTU, x4 digital inputs, x2 12V DC 0.25A relays, x2 digital outputs. Supports a full range of sensors and devices.  Possible extension: PoE module. Provides an Ethernet connection and PoE (Power over Ethernet).  Extension "VT770 / LTE modem" (Ordered separately!) allows SMS control, Phone dial, GPS location, and Internet access.  

Notifications include E-mail, FTP log, Syslog, SMTP, SNMP Traps, Web-to-SMS, and PUSH. Protocols include DHCP; HTTP; HTTPS; DynDNS; SSL; SNMP v1, v2c, v3; SMTP; FTP; Syslog; RADIUS; Modbus RTU; OpenVPN. Virtual sensors include PING, timers, triggers, Logic schemes, SNMP GET, x4 IP cameras, Virtual math elements, and others.

1. "LED: ACTIVITY" - green LED indicates appliance status

...

2. "Analog sensors: A1..A6" - x6 RJ12 analog sensor inputs with auto-sensing. Read instructions at "Analog sensors connection", and "Sensor configuration".

3. "USB" - type miniAB USB-port 2.0, required to connect a USB camera, USB flash, USB hub or to restore an appliance using USB flash.

4. "CAN" - digital connector RJ12 for the connection of CAN sensors and CAN extensions on a CAN bus, with auto-sensing. Read the instructions at in "CAN devices connection", and "Setting up CAN".

  • "CAN Status" - LED for digital bus sensors:

  • The LED blinks slowly - nothing is connected

  • The LED blinks fast - configuration is in process

  • The LED glows constantly - connected to CAN devices

5. "LAN port" - Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port, provides an Ethernet connection.

  • "LAN Link" - orange LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic.

  • "LAN Activity" - green LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic. Flashes green when the system starts up. Shows the connection state (constant green light - the connection is established, blinking green - the connection attempt).

6. "DRY CONTACT INPUTS 1...4" - Digital inputs. Read the instructions at "Connecting dry contacts inputs", and "Dry contacts settings".

7. "TEMPERATURE SENSOR" - accuracy +/- 1 °C°C.

8. "MODE" - a DIP switch for changing system modes.

  • Normal mode 🠀:  Normal operating state. The system should always be

...

  • switched to this.

  • Recovery 🠂: Turns a recovery mode On. Use this option only in case you need to recover manufacturing settings. Read instructions at "Factory settings recovery".

9. "RESTART" - button restarts the appliance. Press the button for several seconds.

10. "OUTPUT 12V 0.25A" - 12V 0.25A output electronic relay terminal. Read the instructions at "Connecting 12V devices to 12V outputs".

11. "ISOLATED DRY CONTACTS OUTPUTS 1...4" - Digital outputs 24VDC / 15mA (type OUT). Read the instructions at "Connecting dry contacts inputs", and "Dry contacts settings".

12. "RS-485 MODBUS RTU" - port for connecting Modbus RTU / RS-485 sensors and devices. Read instructions at "Connecting Modbus RTU sensors to VT336 & VT336PoE", and "Configuring Modbus devices".

  • "RS-485 Status" - LED for displaying Modbus RTU port status.

13. "DC 12V 1A" - DC power input. Instructions are in the section below.

14. "Modem" - "VT770 / LTE, GPS modem" is ordered separately. Read instructions at "Connecting VT770 / LTE modem with GNSS", "Network: LAN, GSM, LTE, RADIUS, DNS, SSL, VPNand "Networking".

  • "Modem status" - LED displays

...

  • modem status.

  • "SIM card slot" - Open the top cover to insert a SIM card.

  • "GSM, LTE main antenna" - Connect GSM or LTE main antenna.

  • "LTE auxiliary antenna" - Connect LTE auxiliary antenna (Auxiliary LTE antenna and antenna output are ordered separately from the modem). It helps to establish a stronger and more stable signal.

  • "GPS active antenna" - GPS antenna and antenna output are ordered separately from the modem.

...

  • It allows one to set the time using GPS and shows the location of the device on the map.
