Figure 13. GUI dongle tab
As soon as the pin configuration is set by the user (checking or unchecking the
corresponding check box), the SET IO CFG button must be pressed before the
configuration has effect. After that, each output can be set/reset and each input can be
checked.
All those operations can be done in different way: in broadcast mode, in this case if the
BROADCAST check box in the commands panel is selected before press any button, each
“set” operation will be executed by each node connected in the same power line. The
command will be sent by the module connected to the GUI via the power line to all the other
nodes. In order to configure a single node (a remote node or the one connected to the GUI),
the node must be selected in the AVAILABLE NODE LIST window before to press any
command button. In broadcast mode the get operations are not allowed.
Last, the STOP button resets the connected dongle if some remote operations are ongoing
and the user wants to interrupt the operation.
Be aware that the I/O pins are not protected and directly wired with the microcontroller Poi's
pins. So if the pins are electrically connected in a wrong way a serious damage can be
caused in the module.
5.4 Operations
tab
The OPERATIONS tab (
) is the place where to test a communication between two
modules connected to the same power line. In the Message window is possible to write a
text message, select the target node in the available node list, and send the message by
pressing the SEND MSG button.
