ioLogik W5300
Utility: ioAdmin
3-21
The
Slot#
column shown in the I/O Expansion panel will list the ioLogik E1200 units
in the order their
configuration files are added
. This means that if you first import the device closest to your ioLogik W5300,
that device will be listed as
Slot# 1
. If you then add the E1200 that is most distant from the W5300 (i.e.: the
module that is last in the chain), that module will be listed as
Slot# 2
, while the middle device (second in the
chain) will be added last, and so listed as
Slot# 3
. To avoid confusion, please make sure that you add the
devices in the order that makes the most sense for your topology.
The
I/O Expansion
panel will show the
Modbus Address
; the list of Modbus addresses may be exported to
a local file using the
Export
button.

I/O Expansion: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Use ioSearch to configure the signal parameters for each ioLogik E1200 I/O channels
First, configure the E1200 device for connection to the network. For details on how to do this, please refer to
your ioLogik E1200 Users’ Manual. Please note that all expansion modules must reside on the same network
segment as the ioLogik W5300.
Next, use the ioSearch
Utility to detect all
available E1200 devices
on the network. If you do
not have ioSearch
installed on your local
computer, you may also
enter the IP address of a
remote E1200 into a web
browser to connect the
E1200’s web console,
which will automatically
serve the E1200’s
configuration utility over
HTTP. A screenshot of the
configuration utility is
shown below.
After bringing up the
configuration utility you
may now use the left menu to navigate the utility and configure signal parameters for the I/O channels. When
you are done, save these into the E1200’s configuration file.
Step 2: Export the configuration file from the remote ioLogik E1200 to your local host.
You may save the E1200’s configuration file on your local machine by using the
Export System Config
button
located on the menu at the left of the configuration utility (shown on the screenshot just above).
