Figure 11 Model RL-4 Relay Output Module
The RL-4 module provides contact outputs which are communicated by the remote display to the RL-4
module using RS-485 Modbus™ RTU protocol. Therefore, the RL-4 module must have a unique
Modbus™ address. The module is serially addressed in hex using the two rotary switches on the module’s
front panel labeled MSD (most significant digit) and LSD (least significant digit).
The RD-64X remote display has been configured to have two separate relay banks (Bank1 and Bank2).
Each bank can support up to two RL-4 modules and are defined by addresses 80h-81h for Bank1 and 82h-
83h for Bank2. Anytime a specific alarm is fired for a module in a bank, all corresponding alarms for all
modules in that particular bank are also triggered. For example, if alarm 3 of a particular module is
triggered in Bank2, then all alarm 3’s for all the modules in Bank2 will also be fired. All RL-4 modules
must be setup on the COMM1 (master) port of the remote display and their banks assigned to each active
channel (See section 7.3.8). The RL-4 modules must be addressed according to Table 1 RL-4 Relay
Modbus™ Addresses.
