Use a Custom sensor
Any sensor with a 0-10V or 0-20mA signal can be used with the Gateway. To use a custom senor
that is not preconfigured follow the steps below.
•
Connect to and unlock the device with present password, see 4.2.1
•
On the IO Config Edit tab go to Edit Device and then Open Configuration in device
The configuration is loaded and all settings are displayed on the IO Config Edit tab.
•
Open the list with inputs for a device with the + to the left, see Figure 18
•
Select Custom on the drop-down menu

•
On the IO Config Edit tab go to Edit Device and then Save Configuration in device, the unit
will reboot.
All analog inputs are set to voltage input (0-10V) as default. To use a sensor with current signal
(4-20mA) the input configuration needs to be changed see section 5.1.

Add an external unit
To connect and use a new external unit such as a power meter, input module R560 or another
device communicating with Modbus the configuration needs to be added to the Gateway. This can
be done in three different ways.
