Connection

Connection - Power Supply

The terminals 1 and 2 correspond to the power supply.

Connection – USB Configuration Port

All of the wSerial models have a USB communication port. This port is used to configure it or in the case of the "Concentrator", also to send data. For the connection with the PC, a standard USB cable of type “B” is used.

Connection – Port RS232 – Port RS485

The port RS232 is of the type DTE of 5 wires (TX, RX, RTS, CTS, GND) and has a terminal for it’s connection, and the terminals TR+ and TR- for the RS485.

It is not necessary to connect the pins of CTS and RTS if flow control is not going to be used.

LEDs Indicators

The wSerial has 3 LEDs indicators.

POWER: Energy applied to the wSerial
LINK: Network Status
CFG: Configuration Mode

Below the details of each LED in independent form and in combination form are shown.

PWR LED	LINK LED	CFG LED	Description
On	-	-	Device on
On	Slow blinking		Creation or connection of a network
On	Fast blinking		Connected to the network but not linked*
On		-	Connected and linked to the network
On	-	On	Configuration
Fast blinking	Fast blinking	Fast blinking	Critical Failure
Fast blinking	Off	Fast blinking	Serial Number not configured
Fast blinking	Slow blinking	Fast blinking	Model not configured

* This state only occurs in the "Nodes".

Reset Button

The wSerial has a reset button and to activate it you must have a cylindrical element of appropriate diameter since you find it in the interior of the equipment. In the image we can see it’s location.

The button serves several functions according to the type of equipment:

In the "Concentrators", it restarts the network.

In the "Nodes", restarts the network but unlinks it, so that you can look for a new network that may or may not be the one to which it was connected.
