WB-MRPS6 Modbus Relay Module
WB-MRPS6 six-channel relay modules are designed for industrial and home automation systems. Modules, depending on the modification, are designed for switching the power load of General purpose, including inductive and capacitive: control of led lamps, incandescent lamps, pulse power supplies; for use in PDU, etc.
The modules are designed for a maximum current of 16A (rated load 10A) and can be used without intermediate contactors.
Models
The module is available in two versions (S) and (P), the difference between which is the maximum allowable switching current.
The naming scheme:
| WB-MRPS6 | Relay output type |
|---|---|
| S | ultra-high starting current (relay with additional tungsten contacts) |
| P | a high inrush current |

Inputs
Model WB-MRPS6 is not equipped with discrete inputs.
Installation of modules
The relay module is mounted on a standard 35 mm wide DIN rail and occupies the width of 3 DIN modules.
Terminal blocks with 3.5 mm increments on the relay board are used to connect power and control lines (RS-485). The cross-section of wires connected to the screw terminals of the relay outputs must correspond to the power of the switched load: it is important not to exceed the recommended current — 16 A.
If the device is the last one on the RS-485 line, a 120 Ohm resistor-terminator must be installed between its inputs A and B. Practice shows that in case of bench tests with a small length of the RS-485 line and a small number of devices, terminator for the last device in the line is not necessary.
The module must be installed in such a way as to meet the requirements of electrical safety and to prevent accidental contact of contacts under high voltage. The module must be operated under recommended environmental conditions.
Relay operation in case of power failure
Depending on the value written to the storage register 0x06, after the power is turned off and restored, the relays will remain off (if the value is 0, or turn on those that were turned on before the power interruption if the register has a value of 1). This feature appeared in the modules with the firmware, starting with version 1.5.3.
Modbus Control
Details of the work with the module via Modbus Protocol is written in Relay Modules Modbus Management . There you can also find a map of the device registers.

Device firmware update
Starting with the new firmware versions of the device, the firmware update functionality (firmware) via the Modbus Protocol is supported. This makes it possible to extend the functionality of the devices and eliminate errors in the firmware directly at the installation site. Read more about flashing devices described in the article Download firmware to Wiren Board devices. A list of firmware versions that support the update, as well as devices for which this feature is implemented, can be found in Firmware Changelog.
