USB Ports
Module has a two USB ports housed under the plastic cover on the front of the module.
•
USB A Host Port
—Used for performing a full upgrade of the module firmware. Patch files are not loaded via
the USB, but rather through the
module’s Web Server. See Appendix A for instructions on performing a full
firmware upgrade or patch file upgrade.
•
USB B Device Connector
—Used as a secondary Ethernet connection point. This is a USB-to-Ethernet
converter that allows you to connect to the
module’s Web Server without having to disconnect the existing
Ethernet connection or install a hub or switch to allow more ports. For more information about this connection,
see Appendix B.

2.5 Input and Output Connections
The WI-MOD-xxx-E-5W has a single physical on-board I/O channel that can be configured as either digital or
analog via the
module’s Web Server. The digital channel can act as an input or output. It can be monitored, set
remotely, or used as an output for communications alarm status. If more I/O are required, you can add 115S Serial
Expansion I/O modules via the RS-232 or RS-485 ports. For more information, see
“4.12 Input/Output
Configuration” on page
58.
Analog Input
The I/O channel can be configured to accept a 0
–20 mA current sinking analog input. The current source must be
externally powered, and the ADIO must be configured for analog input rather than digital input/output. This can be
done using the I/O Configuration or the External I/O Mode Configuration webpage within the
module’s Web Server.
For more information,
“4.12 Input/Output Configuration” on page 58.
