Reading and Configuring a module
You will need a connection
cable between the PC and the
WI-MOD-9-D. The cable
should have straight-through
connections as per section 2.4.1
of this manual. If your PC only
has USB serial connections with
no RS232 port, you will need to
purchase a USB to RS232
converter cable.
Select the communications port
that you will be using on the PC
- make sure that no other
program is using this com port.
The program default is COM1 -
if you are using a different com
port, select the “Com Port
Settings” icon from the toolbar
and select the com port.
Make sure that the serial data rate and character type is the
same as that already configured in the module. If you are
configuring a new module, then this will be the case. If
you are configuring a module which has already been in
service, and you do not know this information, then you
will need to force the module to factory default settings
using the DIP switches in the module end plate (see
section 4.7 of this manual). Note that when you do this,
you will lose all of the configuration in the module.
To read the configuration in a module, connect the cable
and select the “Read Configuration” icon on the toolbar. To configure a module, select the
“Configure Module” icon on the toolbar.
When you read or configure a program, you will see the communication messages between the
program and the module in the “Serial Communications” box in the bottom left hand corner of
the program. The communication messages are Hayes AT commands being generated or read by
the program.
Saving and Opening a configuration file
Configuration details may be saved to disk or read from disk.. To save a configuration file,
select the “Save” icon on the toolbar. The program will ask you for a filename and will give a
file extension of “.05D”. For example, “PLC57.05D”.
To open an archived file, select the “Read” icon on the toolbar.
