4 Hardware Configuration
Hardware Set-up allows the WI-I/O-EX hardware function to be adjusted to suit the
application. To configure the hardware settings, you need:
- Access to the DIP switches under the Analog Configuration Panel (refer Figure
1-1: WI-I/O-EX unit with significant parts labeled.)
- Configuration Software to run on your PC.
Configuration of the WI-I/O-EX modules is performed by either the dedicated WI-I/O-
EX configuration software (cfg_WI-I/O-EX_Vx.xx.exe), or by the WI Series
configuration software (from the Utilities / Advanced - SXM menu).
4.1 Connecting to the WI-I/O-EX module
To use the configuration software, perform the following steps:
• Connect the WI-I/O-EX to the PC COM port with a standard serial cable (straight-
through, DB9 female to DB9 male. See Appendix for wiring.)
• Set the address switches to 00
• Supply power to the WI-I/O-EX via the “+” and “-” terminals on the bottom of the
module (10.8-30 VDC **).
** Model Dependent. Check rear label for actual operating voltages
• Start the configuration software on your PC or laptop (cfg_WI-I/O-EX_Vx.xx.exe)
