Project Explorer - Window in the Wireless I/O Designer Software that shows a tree of the devices
in a project file. The name of the project file (current site) appears at the top of the tree, followed by
the Wireless Gateway associated with the project file. Transmitters and Modules are grouped
below the Wireless Gateway to which they are assigned.
Project File
- Site specific project configuration set up and saved using Wireless I/O Designer
software.
Project Name
- Name assigned to field site specific project set up and saved using Wireless I/O
Designer software.
Pulsed
- The discrete output will change state for a specified period of time determined by a
Modbus master via a Modbus register write. The value written will be in milliseconds.
Range
- Max decimal value to be represented by full scale of analog input.
RAW Units
- Digital representation of an analog signal.
Refresh Time
- Count that increases every one (1) second. The count is posted each time the
corresponding device completes a successful transmission. An unchanging refresh time indicates
a failure of the corresponding device.
Relay
- A device, usually consisting of an electromagnet and an armature, by which a change of
current or voltage in one circuit is used to make or break a connection in another circuit or to affect
the operation of other devices in the same or another circuit.
Retries
- Number of times the device will send data in the event of a transmission failure before
terminating transmit attempts.
RF Timeout
- diagnostic indicator for radio communication. To use this value, set the Node
Timeout in transmitter's radio setting to double that of the Reading Interval time plus 10 seconds.
RS232 Port
– This terminal (P2) is located at the second to the top of WIO Gateway and Modules,
used to communicate Modbus via RS232 protocol.
RS485
- Telecommunications standard for binary serial communications between devices. RS485
allows for serial connections between two or more than devices on a networked system.
RS485 Port
– This terminal (P1) is located at the top of WIO Gateway and Modules, used to
communicate Modbus via RS485 protocol.
RTS
- Ready To Send (232 mode).
RTU
- Remote Terminal Unit.
RTU Port
- Green terminal ports on WIO Gateway & WIO GATEWAY, used to communicate
Modbus via RS485 or RS232 protocol.
RX
- Receive (RS232 mode).
RX-
- Receive Minus (RS485 mode).
RX+
- Receive Plus (RS485 mode).
Scaled Units
- Used to convert an analog signal into desired values.
Single Float (Configuration)
- Liquid Level Sensor or High Level Switch Sensor set up with one
float to read either level liquid levels or for alert notification.
Site
– Field location where devices are deployed for use.
