Introduction

The ioThinx 4510 is an advanced modular remote I/O product with a
unique hardware and software design, making it an ideal solution for a
variety of industrial data acquisition applications.
The ioThinx 4510 has 2 Ethernet ports that support a daisy-chain
topology to save cabling cost, as well as 1 RS-232/422 port or 2
RS-485 (2-wire) ports to enable Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP/SNMP/
RESTful protocol conversion. In addition, the ioThinx 4510 supports
up to 32 I/O modules to help users collect data from field sites.
The ioThinx 4510 supports tool free installation and removal. With
its unique mechanical design, users can mount the module on the
DIN-rail and later remove it, all tool free. In addition, the ioThinx 4510
has new web user interface. Using the new friendly web design, users
can easily monitor the I/O status via the web dashboard and configure
I/O modules.

Easy Tool-Free Installation and Removal

The ioThinx 4500 Series has a unique mechanical design that reduces
the amount of time required for installation and removal. In fact,
screw drivers and other tools are not required for any part of the
hardware installation, including mounting the device on a DIN-rail, as 
well as connecting the wiring for both communication and I/O signal
acquisition. Furthermore, no tools are required to remove the ioThinx
from a DIN-rail. Removing all of the modules from a DIN-Rail is also
easy using the latch and release tab.

Easy Web Configuration/Reconfiguration

For modular remote I/O setups, one of the greatest difficulties is
duplicating configuration settings to the current modules with different
module combinations. After adding, moving, or deleting one of the
modules, configuration of the unchanged modules, including the
Modbus address and RESTful APIs to the upper software, need to be
reconfigured. The ioThinx 4510’s user-friendly web configuration tool 
was designed specifically to make configuration and reconfiguration
easy; no reconfiguration efforts required for the unchanged modules.
In addition, the ioThinx 4510’s web interface supports module/channel
unique names. This feature also applies to Modbus TCP and RESTful
API, saving users a lot of time on development and deployment.

Built-In Modbus RTU Gateway Function

The ioThinx 4510 supports Modbus RTU Master for retrieving field site
data from serial meters. After collecting the data, users can convert the
serial data to a variety of protocols, including Modbus TCP, SNMP, and
RESTful, allowing users to get field site data in their protocol of choice. 
This two-in-one design reduces system complexity, the amount of
space required in the network topology, as well as overall installation
time. In addition, you can extend the useful life of legacy devices by
connecting them to Ethernet and access the devices using a preferred
protocol.
