to view the configuration details but you cannot make changes.

The password can be between 6 and 256 characters. You can also change password by selecting this

option from the “Utilities” menu.

If you are starting a new project, you have the

option of “Enabling Security” - please read

Section 4.3.7 and the associated warnings before

using this option.

To proceed with the configuration, double-click

on the project name on the menu on the left side of

the screen. “Units” will appear. You can

now enter the types of units which will be

used in the system. If you double-click on

“Units”, then the modules that have already

been selected will appear.

Loading configuration from an existing

module

To load the configuration from a module,

connect the module to the PC via the RS232

cable and click on “Load Unit”. This will

allow you to view the module configuration,

change it, or copy it for another module - refer to section

4.3.3 for more information.

Adding a new module to the system configuration

To add a new module to the system configuration, click on

“Units” on the left-hand menu and then “Add Unit”. Select the

type of module from the list.

Note that this program covers WI-I/O-EX-1-S-x and WI-I/O 9-

x modules. These modules are essentially the same as far as

configuration is concerned. That is, a WI-I/O 9-1 selection will

configure a WI-I/O-EX-1-S-1 or a WI-I/O 9-1.

The program will ask to select the unit address and will display

the list of available addresses for you to select. For WI-I/O 9-x

modules, select an address between 1 and 95. For WI-I/O-EX-

1-S-x modules, select an address between 96 and 127.

The default name for a unit will include the unit address. For

example, “WI-I/O 9-3#8” is a WI-I/O 9-3 module with unit

address 8 (and also 9, as a -3 takes two unit addresses). You

can change the name of a unit - for example, you could replace the default name with “Pump Station

14”.

Deleting a Unit

A module can be deleted from the configuration by highlighting the unit and selecting “Delete Unit”.
