ioThinx 4510 Series Hardware Installation

Wiring System and Field Power

Wire range: 12 to 26 AWG (Ferrule diameter: 2.0 to 0.4 mm)
Wire strip length: 10 mm

Unit: mm (in.)

The device requires two sets of power inputs. One is for the system (internal logic circuit), and the other is
for field I/O circuits.

NOTE All I/O points have 3 kV VDC or 2 kVrms isolation with the system. We recommended using different power
supplies to ensure that the system power and field power are isolated from each other.

System Power
This device requires a 12 to 48 VDC system power input. The system
power powers this device and the expansion modules via an internal
bus, which is galvanically connected to the system power supply.

The amount of system current required to support an expansion module is 1 A. If more modules and more
power consumption is needed, an additional power module (45MR-7210) is required. Below is an example:

3-2
ioThinx 4510 Series Hardware Installation

• 10 x 45MR-1600 (59.4 mA) = 594 mA

• 5 x 45MR-3810 (187 mA) = 935 mA

The total system current is 1.594 A, which is greater than 1 A. Therefore, an additional 45MR-7210 is
needed.

NOTE Install the 45MR-7210 to the left hand side of the module where the power consumption would be
exceeded.

NOTE To avoid damaging your devices, reset all power supplies connected to this device and 45MR-7210 modules
at the same time.

NOTE Click the following link to see how many 45MR-7210 power modules you will need to support your ioThinx
4500 series application: http://iothinxcalculator.moxa.com

Field Power
This device provides a field power input of 12/24 VDC that passes
directly through the expansion modules and provides a maximum
current output of 2 A.

NOTE The 12/24 VDC field power supply can be connected directly to 45MR modules. If more connection points
are needed, purchase 45MR-7820 (8 x FP+ and 8 x FP-) modules.

Wiring Ethernet Ports

The maximum cable length of a 10/100BaseT connection is usually stated as 100 m (350 feet), but the
actual limit for your application could be longer or shorter depending on the amount of electrical noise in the
environment. To minimize the amount of noise, Ethernet cables should not run parallel to power cables or
other types of cables that generate electrical noise. The following diagram and table shows the pin
assignments for the RJ45 Ethernet ports:

Pin Media Direct Interface Signal

1 Tx+ (transmit)
2 Tx- (transmit)
3 Rx+ (receive)
4 Not used
5 Not used
6 Rx- (receive)
7 Not used
8 Not used

ioThinx 4510 Series Hardware Installation

Wiring Serial Port(s)

Wire range: 16 to 28 AWG (Ferrule diameter:
1.2 to 0.3 mm)

Wire strip length: 9.0 mm

Unit: mm (in.)

Pin RS-232 RS-422 RS-485 (P1/P2)

1 TXD TXD+ DATA1+
2 RXD TXD- DATA1-
3 RTS RXD+ DATA2+
4 CTS RXD- DATA2-
5 GND GND GND

NOTE Connect the signal common pin (e.g. GND pin on the serial port pin assignment) between each of the serial
device units. For insulated wire (shielding cable) that is used to reduce electrical noise, connect the cable
shield drain wire to the chassis ground.

NOTE To ensure that wires are securely connected to terminal block connectors, strip 7 to 9 mm of insulation off
the ends of the wires before connecting them to the terminal block.

Grounding the Unit

This device has two ground pins. One pin is for system power and the other pin is for field power.

Connecting the System Power Ground

The system power ground connector is at the back of the unit. Once the device has been installed on a DIN
rail, the system power ground connector will connect to the DIN rail.

3-4
ioThinx 4510 Series Hardware Installation

CAUTION
For surge protection, connect the DIN rail to earth ground.

Connecting the Field Power Ground

Connect the field power ground pin ( ) to your field power ground.

CAUTION
Be sure to note the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical
codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If currents exceed the maximum rating,
the wires will overheat, which could cause serious damage to your equipment. For safety reasons, we
recommend using 2 mm diameter wire to connect to the power supply (e.g., 12 AWG).

ioThinx 4510 Series Hardware Installation

Mounting the Unit

In this section, we describe how to mount the device on a DIN rail and how to unmount the device from a
DIN rail.

DANGER
Never install the device while the power source is switched on.

Installing the Unit on a DIN Rail

Take the following steps to install the unit on a DIN rail.

Step 1: Hook the mounting clip of the unit onto the DIN rail, and then lower the clip onto the DIN rail. At
least 55 mm of space above the DIN rail should be kept free to ensure that the installation can be done
correctly.

Step 2: Push the unit towards the DIN rail until the end of the mounting clip snaps into place.

INFORMATION When the I/O module is inserted into the correct position, the connection between the internal bus
and the previous module is established.

ioThinx 4510 Series Software Tools

MQTT

The ioThinx 4510 supports MQTT version 3.1.1. In this section we introduce the MQTT settings. The MQTT
configuration page has two channels: Connection Settings and Topic Settings.

Connection Settings

Broker IP Specifies the broker IP name.

Broker Port: Specifies the broker port in this column.

Authentication: Select the Authentication checkbox to enable the username and password settings. The
username and password are used when an MQTT client connects to a broker.

Keep Alive Interval: Keep alive is designed to ensure that a connection between the MQTT client and
broker exists. The ioThinx 4510 will send the keep alive packets to the broker at designated intervals.

Device ID: The Device ID is used by the broker to identify each client that is connected to it. The ioThinx
4510’s Device ID is unique and cannot be changed. The ID consists of the prefix moxa_io_ followed by the
MAC address of the ioThinx 4510.

TLS: The ioThinx 4510 uses TLS to encrypt MQTT transmissions. You may enable or disable TLS.

WARNING
If TLS encryption is disabled, the username and password will be transmitted in plain text.

Advanced
Click the Advanced button to view the Last Will & Testament Settings.

4-39
ioThinx 4510 Series Software Tools

Last Will Topic: The “topic” of the last will message that will be sent to the broker. This item is not
configurable.

Last Will Message: The message that will be sent to the broker when the connection between the ioThinx
4510 and the broker is disconnected. This item is not configurable.

Last Will QoS: The ioThinx supports three QoS levels:

• QoS 0 (at most once): Data is delivered without acknowledgement. This level of QoS provides best-effort
delivery but without guarantee.
• QoS 1 (at least once): Data is delivered with acknowledgement. In this case, when the ioThinx 4510
sends data, it expects to receive an Ack back from broker. With this level of QoS, data may be delivered
multiple times.
• QoS 2 (exactly once): Data is delivered exactly once using a “four-part-handshake”. This level of QoS is
the most reliable, but is generally slower than QoS 0 and QoS 1.
Retained: The broker will save messages that are not delivered to a subscriber who is offline when the
message is first delivered, and then resend the message when the subscriber comes back online.

Topic Settings

All the topics provided by the ioThinx 4510 will be listed here. The topics are default disabled. User needs to
select which topics are needed to be enabled. The topic which can be published or subscribed are listed in
the page Publication or Subscription, respectively.

Filter: The ioThinx 4510 has a filter function in the top right corner of the subscribe page that allows users
to find topics more easily. Click the Value/Attribute/Enable/Disable buttons and then type a keyword to
find a topic within several seconds. The number of filtered topics will be shown as well.

Value/Attribute: The following most frequently used IO data will be filtered by Value. Other IO data,
which is not listed, will be filtered by Attribute.

• diStatus
• diCounterValue
• diCounterStauts
• doStatus
• doPulseStatus
• relayStatus
• relayCurrentCount
• aiStatus

4-40
ioThinx 4510 Series Software Tools

• aiValueScaled
• aoStatus
• aoValueScaled
• rtdStatus
• rtdValueScaled
• tcStatus
• tcValueScaled

Enable/Disable: Filter out the enabled or disabled topic.

Textbox: Type in the topic that you would like to filter.

Batch Edit: The ioThinx 4510 supports the Enable/Disable/QoS/Retain/Trigger function for batch
editing. When the batch edit function is clicked, all filtered topics will be set. If the topic does not support
the batch edit function (e.g., the topic does not support On Change but the user batch edits all), the edit will
be skipped by the topic.

NOTE The ioThinx 4510 only supports 256 topics. If there are more than 256 filtered topics, the enable button will
be disabled.

Topic Table: All data that can be published or subscribed are listed in the table on the Publisher or
Subscriber page.

Slot: The slot associated with the data.

Channel: The channel associated with the data.

Topic: Topics include the following items:

• Publish: {deviceName}/read/{ioName}/{parameters}
• Subscribe: {deviceName}/write/{ioName}/{parameters}
 {deviceName}: the device name which user specified in Device Setting Page
 {ioName}: the {ioName} is in the format {moduleName@channelName}. User can specify the
module name in Module page and channel name in I/O pages, respectively.
 {Parameters}: the parameters is indicated the data which will be accessed by MQTT. Please refer
to the Appendix for the detail description about data.
QoS: The QoS of each topic. It shares the same level with Slot/Channel/Topic.

Retain: Enables the retain function to force the broker to keep the latest data and send it to subscribers
when subscribers are back online.

Trigger and Condition: Determines how the topic will be published.

• Interval: The topic will be published at specific intervals.

• OnChange: The topic will be published when the change criteria are met:
 For Digital Input, the topic will be published when the value changes.
 For Analog Input, the topic will be published when a specific percentage of the data changes
compared with previous update. The percentage refers to the full range.

NOTE Setting a short interval may result in an unsuccessful publish.

Troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting instructions for this device.

Forgot username & password

If you forget your username and password, use a pointed object such as a straightened paper clip to hold
down the Reset Button for 10 seconds. This will restart the unit and reset all settings on the device,
including the username and password. The factory defaults will be loaded once the READY LED turns green
again.

INFORMATION The default username is admin, and the default password is moxa.

Forgot IP address of the unit

If you forget the IP address of the unit, use IOxpress utility to search for the device if IOxpress service is
already enabled in Security  Service Settings. Otherwise, load the factory default settings and access
the unit with the default IP address.

Step 1: Open IOxpress, go to Device Library and click Device  Search in the menu.

A-17
ioThinx 4510 Series Appendix

Step 2: In the Search for Devices window, choose the product series you would like to search in the By
Product Series dropdown menu, and then click the Submit button. IOxpress will start to search the
devices and list them in the table.

Failed to update firmware

If the firmware update process fails, the firmware file may be corrupted. Download the firmware file from
Moxa’s official website. Otherwise, check if the power supply is stable. An unstable power supply can lead to
an incomplete firmware update.

NOTE This device supports firmware automatic recovery function. If the firmware in the device is corrupted, the
system will load the backup firmware automatically to overwrite the corrupted one. When the system is in
recovery mode, the RDY LED will blink RED slowly. Do not disconnect the power cable when performing the
recovery process. After the recovery process is complete, you can update firmware again.

Failed to update configuration

If the configuration update process fails, the configuration file may be corrupted. Get the configuration file
and update it again. Otherwise, check to see if the power supply is stable. An unstable power supply can
result in the configurations not being successfully updated.

A-18
ioThinx 4510 Series Appendix

Failed to access the unit through IP address & IOxpress

Incorrect network configurations can result in the user not being able to access the unit. Check if the device
and PC are in the same subnet by following the procedure below.

INFORMATION The default IP address of the device is 192.168.127.254.

This may also occur when you try to configure multiple devices with the same computer. The reason for this
could be that multiple devices have the same default IP address. When sending TCP/IP packets, the packet
may get sent to the wrong MAC address, as it follows the previous record in the computer’s ARP Cache. To
rectify this problem, you can erase the ARP Cache records by entering “arp-d” command in the built-in
Command-Line tools.

Failed to enter System Ready Mode

If the RDY LED stays red, and your web console is not accessible, it means that the system is experiencing
an error. Follow the steps to recover the system.

Step 1: Hold down the RESET button for 30 seconds to trigger the system recovery process. The system
will load the backup firmware and then restart the unit. The system is ready when the RDY LED is green.

Step 2: Open the web console and then update the firmware and configurations to the device.
