P-4 Notes: About This Manual
Chapter 1 Getting Started The 20-WIM-N* Wireless Interface Module (WIM) provides a wireless communications interface between a Pocket PC, laptop computer or desktop computer equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology and any Allen-Bradley product supporting DPI. The WIM uses the full-duplex DF1 protocol. Important: The WIM also supports legacy Allen-Bradley AC drives that use the SCANport protocol.
1-2 Getting Started Features Features of the WIM include the following: • A status indicator (LED) that reports the operating status of the module. • Connectivity to products implementing DPI, such as PowerFlex 7-Class drives and peripherals, and products implementing SCANport, such as legacy Allen-Bradley drives. When used with a product, the WIM will autobaud to the DPI or SCANport data rate that is used by the product. • The WIM receives power from the drive. An outside power source is not needed.
Getting Started 1-3 SCANport Products The WIM is also compatible with drives and other products that support SCANport.
1-4 Getting Started Safety Precautions Please read the following safety precautions carefully. ! ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists from machine motion when using wireless communications and software to Start/Stop/Jog, configure or otherwise communicate with a drive. Using the control bar feature in Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC, DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive with wireless communications may present safety hazards due to potential loss of the wireless connection.
Getting Started 1-5 Quick Start This section is designed to help experienced users quickly start using the WIM. If you are unsure how to complete a step, refer to the referenced chapter. Step Action 1 Review the safety precautions for the WIM. 2 Install the WIM. For the NEMA 1 WIM (20-WIM-N1), remove the HIM from the drive cradle and replace it with the WIM. To install the WIM in a remote-mounted HIM bezel (20-HIM-B1), first install the bezel (see Publication 20HIM-IN001...).
1-6 Getting Started Status Indicator The WIM reports its operating status using a tri-color status indicator (Figure 1.4). Figure 1.4 Status Indications of the WIM ➊ Contains FCC ID: SNT-2XWIMNX IC: 5450A-2XWIMNX This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.

C-18 Notes: Wireless Flash Updating DPI Devices
Glossary A Application Code Code that runs in the WIM after the boot code calls it. It performs the normal operations of the system. B BCC (Block Check Character) An error detection scheme where the 2’s complement of the 8-bit sum (modulo-256 arithmetic sum) of all data bytes in a transmission block. It provides a means of checking the accuracy of each message transmission.
Glossary-2 D DF1 Protocol A peer-to-peer link layer protocol that combines features of ANSI X3.28-1976 specification subcategories D1 (data transparency) and F1 (two-way simultaneous transmission with embedded responses). DF1 Rate A unit of signaling speed equal to the number of discrete conditions or signal events per second. It is also called “baud rate” or “serial port rate.
Glossary-3 E EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) Files EDS files are simple text files that are used by network configuration tools such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to describe products so that you can easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a product device type, revision, and configurable parameters. EDS files for many Allen-Bradley products can be found at http://www.ab.com/networks/ eds. F Flash Update The process of updating firmware in a device.
Glossary-4 including whether it can receive messages and whether they can log in for control. Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC Software Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC software is a Pocket PC tool for monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley products and adapters. It can be run on a Pocket PC running Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 (or higher) operating system. Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC (version 1.xx or higher) can be used to configure the WIM and PowerFlex drives.
Glossary-5 Type 2 events help Allen-Bradley personnel identify the type of messages that an adapter is using. W WIM (Wireless Interface Module) The WIM provides a wireless communications interface between any Allen-Bradley DPI drive and a computer or Pocket PC with an RS-232 port. The WIM uses a full-duplex DF1 protocol. The WIM may also be referred to as “20-WIM-N*,” “DPI peripheral,” or “module.
