Electro Industries’ Modbus I/O modules perform as compact, affordable communication interfaces
between the real world and the technical world of devices. These modules can support more meter-
ing functions for Electro Industries’ meters or, with proper power supply, these modules can also be
used independently. As an add-on or a stand-alone, each of these Analog or Digital Modbus I/O
Modules can interface, condition and/or distribute critical signals for a variety of applications. Five
types of modules are available. They are rugged, high-performance, highly expandable and user
friendly. Below is a
Quick Start Guide
for using the modules. Steps are detailed in later chapters.

1.2: Quick Start Configuration Guide
(See Chapter 2 for Expanded Installation)
1. Install Communication Software :
Nexus Communicator or Nexus Programmer (Shareware).
Nexus Programmer can be downloaded from www.electroind.com.
2. Assign a Unique Address to Module
(for more than one of the same Module) (Section 2.2.2).
3. Determine Power Needed.
Nexus 1250/1252 and PSIO provide 12 VA. Rule of thumb:
1 Power Source for up to 4 I/Os. See Steps to Determine Power Requirement (Section 2.2.3).
4. Mount and Power the I/O Modules
Use a Mounting Bracket (MBIO) and
Power Supply
, if needed. Starting with the
Left Module, fasten Left Mounting Bracket.
Use the Integrated Fastening System to add
additional I/Os (up to 31) to the right
(
loosely
) with an external Power Source
(PSIO) to the RIGHT of each grouping of 4.
With all I/Os in place, fasten
tightly
. Then,
attach Right Mounting Bracket.
5. Install RS-485 Communication Wiring
I/O Module can communicate via RS-485
to Nexus meters, via RS-485 to an
RS-485/RS-232 Converter to a PC or via
2-wire RS-485 to a PLC or RTU. Refer to
section 2.2 for wiring details.
6. Communicate to I/O Modules with Nexus
Communicator or Nexus Programmer
(Shareware)
Nexus Programmer has similar screens
and most capabilities except Log Viewer.
