Q1. How to do when forgot module address or baud rate?
Please turn to INIT mode, and run DCON Utility to search.
The module supports DCON protocol at the INIT mode.
And the address is 0. The communication setting is “9600,N,8,1”.
Q2. How to configure the I-7000 and M-7000 modules?
ICP DAS provide DCON Utility to configure I-7000 and M-7000 modules.
Please download the last version from: http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/driver/dcon_utility/
Q3. How to measure the current?
I-7018(R)(BL)(P) and M-7018(R) require optional external resistance (125Ω) for current measurement.
Please refer wired connections diagram.
And then select a suitable input range by DCON Utility.
Q4. What is the CJC function?
CJC (Cold-Junction Compensation) offset is for the temperature measurement.
You can set a CJC offset for all channels or different channel in DCON Utility,
Q5. How to programming with I-7000 or M-7000 by C#, VB, VC?
ICP DAS I-7000 and M-7000 series both support DCON protocol. And Only M-7000 series supports Modbus protocol.
For DCON protocol, please download SDK and Demo from:
