Rockwell Automation 22-WIM-N1 DSI Wireless Interface Module - Manual (Page 12)

1-2 Getting Started
Features of the WIM include the following:
• A status indicator (LED) that reports the operating status of the
module.
• Connectivity to products implementing DSI, such as PowerFlex
4-Class drives and peripherals. When used with a product, the WIM
will autobaud to the DSI data rate that is used by the product.
• The WIM receives power from the drive. An outside power source is
not needed.
• An RTU Master operating mode for use on an RTU Master network to
monitor, configure, and control up to 32 PowerFlex 4-Class drives
using wireless communication and Allen-Bradley drive software
tools.
• The following tools can be used to configure the WIM:
– Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC (version 1.01 or higher)
– DriveExplorer (version 4.04 or higher)
– DriveExecutive (version 3.01 or higher)
– PowerFlex 4-Class HIM
• The WIM can be used with compatible Allen-Bradley software tools
through wireless communication to flash upgrade itself and other DSI
peripherals (PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs and communication adapters)
to take full advantage of new firmware features as they become
available.
DSI is based on the Modbus RTU serial communication protocol. The
WIM can be used with Allen-Bradley Component Class (PowerFlex
4-Class) drives and other products that support DSI. At the time of
