4.3 Module Configuration

Module configuration can be done using the WI Mesh utility for Meshing and Econfig for
Legacy or via inbuilt web pages. We recommend the software be used as the primary
config as is easier to use and simplifies the overall configuration. It is also project based
which means you can group a number of modules in one configuration file.

For instructions on web page based configurations see the separate Webpage
Configuration supplement

The Utility and supplement are available from the download section of the Weidmuller
web site - www.weidmuller.com/wireless.

4.3.1 Software & Connections

The Configuration Utilities are Microsoft Windows™ based software programs that
allows system wide configuration and diagnostics for the WIBMesh or WIBNet based
products. The Configuration software allows the user to create projects, adjust
parameters to suit the application specifics, program and diagnose all from one point.

The configuration Utilities allow advanced configuration features such as

Over the radio link configuration and diagnostics,

Gateway functionality for Modbus TCP & RTU Protocol

Monitoring of Radio Communications

Naming of I/O points

The Configuration Utilities also provide a single point of reference for a system wide
configuration for the WI-I/O 9-U2 and other Wireless I/O products.

The software is compatible with all current Windows versions and uses a simple point
and click interface. Configuration of the module can be done via USB or Ethernet
connection, all appropriate USB drivers are installed during installation. If for some
unknown reason there is a problem with the installation of the drivers they will need to
be manually installed via the Windows Device Manager.

After downloading the configuration utility, run the setup file to install the software on to
your computer.
