Device ID |
When using several slave units with one GW1-ETH-WQ, it is necessary to set the Device ID uniquely. [When the product's rotary switch is other than F] The value of the rotary switch is displayed. You can not change here. [When the product's rotary switch is F] Set the Device ID here. Settable range: 0 to 127 |
Wireless Channel |
Set the channel used for 920 MHz band communication. Settable range: 33, 34, 38 to 60 |
PAN ID |
Set the PAN ID used for 920 MHz band communication. Settable range: 0 to 65534 When Device Mode is set to "CONPROSYS mode", PAN ID is fixed to 0. |
Data Interval |
Sets the time interval at which the digital input value of this device is transmitted to its master unit GW1-ETH-WQ. Settable range: 10 to 3600 (sec) |

Device Mode |
Select
from the following three modes. - Wireless I/O mode This is the standard mode. - CONPROSYS mode Select when using this device as a slave unit of
our product CONPROSYS series. - Peer to Peer mode Select when using two products as a pair without
using the master unit. |
"Common Setting" |
|
Tx Power |
Set transmission output. Normally, it uses the initial value of 20 (mW). |
Bit Rate |
Set the bit rate (communication speed). Normally, it uses the initial value of 100 (kbps). |
Request Timeout |
Set the communication timeout time between the master unit and slave unit. The initial value is 3000. Settable range: 1000 to 60000 (msec) |
Aging Time |
Set the connection maintenance time between the master and slave. The initial value is 600. Normally, use the default value, but if you have changed Data Interval setting, we recommend changing the value to about 10 times Data Interval setting. Also, when changing this setting, it is recommended to set the
same setting for the master unit. |
Encryption Key |
Set the encryption key used for communication between the master unit and the slave unit. It is specified with 32 digit hexadecimal number, and the initial
value is all 0. |

Priority Route |
This
can be set on WIO mode. This device supports multi-hop communication and the device
select the communication root automatically by the factory default. In generally, to increasing the number of connected Sub-GHz wireless device in the same area, it is getting to become more radio interference and it may be easy to occur the communication error. In this situation, the device tries to switch the communication root frequently, it may become unstable the wireless communication in the factory default. You may have more stable wireless communication when you choose this option to meet your wireless environment. - Disable: You do not choose the priority root (Factory
default) - Gateway: You indicate the priority communication root
(Hopping direction) to Gateway. - ID:0 - 127: You indicate the priority communication
root (Hopping direction) to the secondary device which has specified
ID. |
DI Count |
Select Enabled if you want the digital input counting function to start when the device starts up. Apart from this setting, it is also possible to start and stop
by executing the API function after starts up. |
Count Edge |
Select the direction for counting digital inputs. - When Rising is selected, the rising edge (0->1) of digital
input signal is counted. |
