3 Configuration
Use the WI Series Configuration utility to configure the WI-I/O-EX module to
communicate to WI-I/O 9, WI-MOD-9-E and WI-MOD-E modules.
- If you want to communicate using ModBus, then simply set the address using the
address switches on the bottom of the module. Refer to section 2.1.2 for details on
setting the address switches
- Ensure the Address switches are set to “00” for E-Series protocol mode. Refer to
section 2.1.2 for details on setting the address switches.
The WI Series Configuration utility allows you to configure systems consisting of a
mixture of Module types. You can download this software from the Weidmuller web site
at (http://wireless.weidmuller.com)
3.1 Add a radio module to connect the WI-I/O-EX to the radio network.
To configure a Serial module you must first create configuration for a radio module – For
example a WI-I/O-9 module. This is the radio module you plan to connect the serial
module to.
- Refer to your radio module user manual for an explanation on how to create the
radio module configuration.
3.2 Add the Serial Module
Once you have created the new radio module configuration, you can add the serial
module. Select the new radio module that you want to connect the WI-I/O-EX serial
module to, and select the “Serial Units” item. Select “Add a new Serial Unit” to create
the new configuration, or select “Load a New Serial Unit” to load the configuration from
an existing module. See Figure 3-1.
