====== MNET Series ======

MNET Series is a family of communication slave products whose digital I/O, analog I/O, temperature sensor inputs, and high-speed pulse I/O can be controlled from a master device such as a PC, HMI, or PLC using Modbus or LS Industrial Systems Cnet.

The CPU module includes DIP switches for setting the baud rate and slave address.

Supports 1 RS-232 channel, 1 RS-485 channel, and 1 UART channel.

This product does not accept downloaded user programs. Select Modbus RTU Slave or LS Industrial Systems Cnet Slave when ordering.

===== How to read model names =====

  * The leading number in ''8A'', ''16A'', ''32A'', etc. is the **number of digital inputs**.
  * The number before ''R'' is the **number of relay outputs**.
  * The number before ''T'' is the **number of transistor outputs**.
  * ''8A8R'' is a model with 8 digital inputs and 8 relay outputs.
  * ''8A8T'' is a model with 8 digital inputs and 8 transistor outputs.

===== Optional modules =====

The following optional modules can be added to the product configuration. The product is assembled and shipped in the selected configuration. \\
Users cannot add or remove I/O modules or optional modules.

^ Code ^ Function ^ Points per module ^ Maximum configuration ^
| X | Analog inputs | 4 points | Up to 5 units, 20 points |
| F | PT100Ω temperature sensor input | 4 points | Up to 5 units, 20 points |
| Y | Analog outputs | 3 points | Up to 4 units, 12 points |
| K | High-speed pulse outputs | 6 points | Up to 2 units, 12 points |

The combined total of analog inputs and PT100Ω temperature sensor inputs cannot exceed 20 points. \\
The combined total of analog outputs and high-speed pulse outputs cannot exceed 12 points. \\
Products with optional modules are custom-built, so exchanges or refunds may be difficult.
