U2 it will need to poll the IP address of the WI-I/O 9-U2, The Port Number that is
configured here and the Device ID of the serial device.

Request Pause

Is the delay between serial requests in milliseconds

Response Wait

Is the serial response timeout in milliseconds – a serial retry will be

sent if a response is not received within this timeout.

Connection Timeout

Is the TCP connection timeout in seconds – if no Modbus/TCP

data is received within this timeout then the TCP connection will be dropped. Set this
field to zero for no timeout.

Maximum Tries

Is the maximum number of request retries that are performed on the

serial port.

Maximum Number of connections

This is the maximum number of simultaneous

TCP connection that can be made to the TCP Server.

Serial - Expansion I/O

By default the

RS485 port will be automatically enabled for “Expansion I/O “, this is to

allow serial expansion I/O modules to be connected with minimal or no module
configuration.

This means that when adding an WEIDMULLER Expansion I/O module/s, e.g. WI-I/O-
EX-1-S-11, WI-I/O-EX-1-S-12, or WI-I/O-EX-1-S-13 to the RS485 port of the WI-I/O 9-
U2, the I/O will automatically be available from within the WI-I/O 9-U2

’s I/O store. See

User Manual for location addresses.

The default Data Rate and Data Format will
be standard 9600, N81 with no Flow Control
which matches the default serial baud rate
and data format of the WI-I/O-EX-1-S serial
expansion module.

Serial parameters can be adjusted for
compatibility or faster serial performance by
adjusting the rates and format and then
selecting the “Save and Activate” Button.

Serial port parameters will also need to be
changed on the expansion I/O module by
using the WI-I/O-EX-1-S Configuration Utility
which can be downloaded from the
Weidmuller Website
(www.weidmuller.com/wireless)

Maximum Number of Expansion Modules to Poll

This is the maximum number of

slave addresses that the WI-I/O 9-U2 will scan or poll. Default is 3. If adding more than
3 x WI-I/O-EX-1-S expansion I/O module or the address used are greater than 3, this
number will need to be increased to match the largest address.

Maximum Number of Connections

Is the maximum number of simultaneous TCP

connections to the server allowed.
