Define the field task first
Describe your signals and load. Then compare the input and output combination that fits your panel.
Read switch, float and equipment status contacts from your controller. Choose a compact input model for a few points, or add relay control when the panel needs both.

Use Modbus commands to operate relay contacts. Check the selected model’s contact rating and use an external contactor when the load requires it.

Bring analog measurements, digital status and relay control into one module. Choose two or four analog inputs for supported voltage or current signals.
Y301-222 · Y301-444Compare these modelsBuilt for your control panel
Read inputs and control relay outputs from a compatible RS485 Modbus RTU master.
Pick one or two digital points, expand to eight inputs and eight relay outputs, or combine digital I/O with analog sensing.
The eight featured models support 5–36 VDC power and DIN-rail or screw mounting.
ControlLink models support local relay rules; Y301-222 and Y301-444 also support analog threshold rules.
A Y301 module sits between field signals or loads and the PLC, SCADA system, or edge controller that reads and writes its registers.
Y301-444 shown as an example. Cyan: inputs and values to the host. Orange: relay commands to the field load. I/O count and signal support depend on the model.
Signal and load sideConnect compatible inputs to DI or AI, and relay outputs to the selected load circuit.
Module roleThe module exposes field states and values to the host and receives relay commands; it does not replace the controller.
Host sideMatch the interface, protocol mode, baud rate, address, and register map.
MiniLink, ControlLink, and FlexPoint organize the Y301 range by I/O combination and project task.

Need help choosing? Tell us your application.
The correct model depends on the signal, electrical load, host connection, power, environment, and local-control requirement.
Identify each DI, relay DO, AI, or AO point and whether the signal is digital, voltage, or current.
Count the required points and allow only the project margin you can justify.
Verify analog range or relay operating voltage, steady current, inrush current, and load type.
Check RS485, RS232, or TTL availability and the required Modbus mode for the selected model.
Note supply voltage, temperature, humidity, enclosure, wiring, and installation clearance.
Confirm whether local rules, retention, converters, termination, protection, or external contactors are required.
Ready for the next step?
Check signal limits, terminal wiring and Modbus registers for the selected model before final design or ordering.
Questions that change model selection. Check the product family, signal type, communication option, load, and required documents before final selection.
MiniLink covers compact one- or two-channel digital I/O. ControlLink combines digital input and relay output, with analog input on selected models. FlexPoint handles dedicated higher-channel-count DI, AI, or AO expansion. Then compare channel count and model-specific electrical limits.
Use DI for discrete status signals, relay DO for on/off load control, AI for supported voltage or current measurements, and AO for supported voltage or current setpoints. Verify signal range, common wiring, isolation, accuracy, and load requirements in the selected model specification.
RS485 Modbus RTU is available across the documented Y301 family. RS232, TTL, and Modbus ASCII are available only on selected models. Set the host interface, protocol mode, baud rate, address, and register map for the selected model.
Do not select a relay from steady current alone. Check operating voltage, inrush current, switching frequency, and load type. Y301-110 and Y301-020 are rated at 125 VAC 0.5 A or 30 VDC 2 A. The featured ControlLink models are rated at 277 VAC 10 A or 28 VDC 10 A. Inductive loads may require protection and an external contactor.
Share the I/O type and channel count, signal range or load, host interface and protocol, supply voltage, installation environment, and any local rule requirement. Submit the conditions you know; missing details can be filled in later.
Open the detailed comparison above and follow the selected model specification for electrical and mechanical limits. Use the linked technical reference for wiring, configuration, communication settings, and register information.
