Initialization DAM-DA Module:

All DAM-DA modules use RS-485 network, must distribute a only one address, between 00 and FF
(hexadecimal), but, all new DAM-DA modules use a factory initialization set. As follows:
Address: 00 (hexadecimal)
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Checksum: disabled
Because address codes of new module are the same, their address will conflict to other modules, you must
reconfigured every analog input address when you configure system. You can amend DAM-DA address by set
command after connecting DAM-DA power line and RS485. Baud ratechecksum state also need be adjusted
according to users demand. All these amendments should execute under default state.
Let the modules into default state method:
All DAM-DA modules have a Pin mark with INIT. Connect INIT Pin to ground (GND pin), then connect
power supply, and then it is in default state. Its set as follows:
Address: 00
Baud rate 9600 bps
Checksum: disabled
Then, can amend the DAM modules parameter as baud rate, checksum, and state by set command, and
choose communication protocol trough set module communication protocol command. When not clear the
modules specific configuration, can also make modules enter into default state through install jumping wire,
then re-configure the module. If users want to set module in ModBus RTU communication Protocol, please see
below description of MODBUS
ASCII communication protocol command set:

Every command is insists of a series characters, such as leading code, address ID, command, checksum, end

symbol (cr). Except ** synchronous command, commands have effects on one module each time.
Command format: (Leading Code)(Addr)(Command)[data][checksum](cr)
(Leading Code) is the first letter of command. All commands need a leading code. such as:%, $,#,@,...
1- Character
(Addr) is module address code, default value range is 00FF (hexadecimal), 2- Characters
(Command) represents command code or variable value
Variable Length
[data] some output command need data
Variable Length
[checksum] represents optional parameters, only need it when checksum is enabled.
2 -Characters
(cr) terminating character, value is 0x0D
1- character
When checksum is enabled, [Checksum] is required. Command and response must append checksum
characters. Checksum is used to check all input command, to help you find the errors between host computer
and module
Calculating Method: two-character (hexadecimal), is the sum of all sending characters ASCII, then AND
0xFF.
Example: Disable checksum
command:
$002(cr)
response:
!00020600 (cr)
Enable checksum
command:
$002B6 (cr)
response:
!00020600 A9 (cr)
$ = 0x24
0 = 0x30
2 = 0x32
B6=(0x24+0x30+0x30+0x32) AND 0xFF
! = 0x21
0 = 0x30
2 = 0x32 6 = 0x36
A9=(0x21+0x30+0x30+0x30+0x32+0x30+0x36+0x30+0x30) AND 0xFF
Command Response:
Response message depends on all kinds of command. Command also insists of some characters, including
leading code, variable and end symbol. Response messages leading code has 2 kind, ! or > represents valid
command, ? stands for invalid. Through check response message can monitor command is valid or not.
Remark: 1, under some circumstances, many command use similar command format. Make sure the
address you used in the command is right, if you use wrong address, and this address represents another
module, then the command will effective in another module, then cause to wrong.

Module Calibration
Products have been calibrated, the user can use directly without calibration. In the process, you can use
the product calibration function to re-calibrate the module. In the calibration, the module need use a
high-precision multimeter to monitor the module output signal.
In order to improve calibration precision, suggest doing as the following meters:
A five and a half or more high-precision voltage / current measurement instrument for monitoring the
accuracy of the output signal
Calibration Process:
1. Select the output channel to be calibrated in accordance with the scope of the module connected to the
corresponding output voltage or current measurement instruments.
2. Set analog output modules need to calibrate the output of the channel zero signals, typically 0mA, 4mA or
0V and so on. Through the first command set command to set the analog output, adjust to the measuring
instrument inside shows the value of the output signal is zero.
3. Until the signal stabilized, the analog output module to send $ AA1N offset calibration command (N
representing the current channel being calibrated code, 0 or 1).
4. Set analog output modules require full-scale calibration channel output signal. Through the first command
set command to set the analog output, adjust to the measuring instrument where the output signal is shown in
full scale value.
5. Until the signal stabilized, the analog output module to send $ AA0N gain calibration command (N
representing the current channel being calibrated code, 0 or 1).
6. Finished
MODBUS RTU :
The device is set ASCII command as default protocol, if need change to MODBUS RTU, follow below step to
change:
1. Short connecting INIT(PIN 3) and GND(PIN 6)
2. Correctly link Power and communication interface cables
3. Switch on power supply, the module automatically enter the default state, communication address is 00,
the baud rate of 9600
4. Wait for one minute, Module initialization
5. Send command $00P1(cr), response should be !00(cr)
6. Switch off power supply, break off INIT and GND
7. Now device successfully in MODBUS RTU protocol
The Modbus function codes of modue support are 03 and 06. Modbus data content and output
