====== Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge ====== **Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge** {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_module.png?nolink |}} | 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. ===== 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 {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_module_diagram.png?nolink&0x500 }} {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_mounting.png?nolink&0x500 }} ===== Features ===== * replacement for RS485 wiring * Modbus RTU serial protocol * wired/wireless combinations * very long range, no hopping * protected private connection * multiple slaves per device * multiple addressable groups ===== Technical specification ===== | Power supply: | 230V, 50/60Hz, 1W | | Ingress protection: | IP20 | | Operating temperature: | -20..50°C | | Storage temperature: | -40..85°C | | Relative humidity: | 0..85% n/c | ===== Terminals and wiring ===== | To power sensor ^ A | RS485 bus | | ::: ^ B | ::: | | ::: ^ C | ::: | | To power supply ^ L| 230V AC | | ::: ^ N| ::: | {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_wiring.png?nolink&0x200 }} ===== Serial configuration and timeout ===== * Available baudrates 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400 bps * Data bits and parity 8N1, 7E1, 8E1, 8N2 * :!: Max 64 bytes per transmition * Integrated 240 Ohm termination resistor {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_serial.png?nolink&0x500 }} ===== 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. {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_multiplegroups.png?nolink&0x500 }} ===== 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. {{ wiki:20_rdc_charger:03_hardware:wm1_factoryreset.png?nolink&0x200 }}
