| Model number: ^ WM-1       |
| Frequency:    | ISM 868MHz (EU) |
| Dimensions:   | 93x45x27 mm     |

===== Applications =====

  * Replacement for RS485 wiring solution with wireless. Optimal for long range Modbus RTU serial communications with half duplex configuration.

</WRAP>

<WRAP clear></WRAP>

===== Installation and mounting =====
  * :!: Carefully open WM-1 module and configure serial communication with jumpers. (Default configuration is 9600bps, 8N1 with normal timeout)
  * :!: Place WM-1 module at least 10cm from other objects. Installation is not recommended inside metal cabinets.
  * Connect RS485 terminals to WM-1 RS485 terminals
    * A - A
    * B - B
    * C - GND
  * Connect to 230V power supply
  * Bind modules to wireless network

===== Wireless binding =====

==== Create new secure group ====
  
  * turn on all devices at the same time
  * within 10 seconds, while RF LED is blinking, press and hold button on one of the devices
  * after a second, the new address is randomly generated and sent to all devices. RF LED will blink 3 times to confirm the new address.

{{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_configuration_1.png?nolink&0x500  }}

==== Add new device to the group ====
  
  * turn on the device
  * within 10 seconds, press and hold button on one of the existing devices
  * after a second, the existing group address is sent to the new device. RF LED will blink 3 times to confirm the address is sent.

{{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_configuration_2.png?nolink&0x500  }}

==== Topology examples ====
  
  * Modbus master, connected to 12 slaves using a pair of WM-1 devices
  * Modbus master, connected to 10 slaves, organized in two groups
  * Modbus master, connected to 5 slaves, each one having local WM-1 device

{{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_topology.png?nolink&0x500  }}

==== Multiple groups ====
  
  * When the system has two or more separate Modbus lines, they should be configured as separate groups. 
  * Each group has a single master and one or more slaves.
  * Groups can't talk to each other, but they share the same bandwidth. 
  * Two masters may start transmitting at the same time causing collisions. 
  * To reduce number of missed messages, keep the traffic low.

===== Connection check =====
  * Press button shortly
  * RF LED will blink shortly on each connected device
  * Serial interface is unaffected


{{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_connectioncheck.png?nolink&0x150  }}

===== Factory reset =====
  * Hold button and turn the device ON
  * RF led will blink twice. Group address is now reset to default. 
  * Other devices will not be affected.
