Figure 11: Input/output setting form and form for setting of encryption
As evident from the pictures, the application enables performing of following settings:
- setting of WMBUS message (manufacturer, version, medium)
- setting of broadcasting (period, mode, channel, transm. power
- setting of initial value, multiplier and divisor of inputs
- setting of measured value auxiliary information (DIF/VIF)
- setting of trigger edge and mode of pulse inputs
- encryption activation and entering of encryption key
- setting of message content (transferred value selection mask)
- setting of Leak and Burst function parameters
- starting of one-time testing transmission
- sending of RESET command to the module
As the
”
SOFTLINK Configurator” application is continuously developed and improved, the screen previews of
WB169-SI2 module configuration forms can vary in time.

Structure of module data messages
The WB169-SI2 module transmits following two types of messages:
- standard
information message
with status of all variables, broadcasted periodically
- short
alarm message
sent immediately when alarm status has been detected
3.3.1
Iinformation message
Information message
of the module consists from the Wireless M-BUS header, short 4 Byte M-Bus header
and a data block with minimum six data segments with length of at least 31 Byte (it could vary in reliance on
configuration).
Structure of Wireless M-BUS message header of the WB169-SI2 module is described in the Table
