Setting of parameters by using of optical converter
The module i equipped with the
”
IRDA” infrared optical interface, that can be used for configuration through the
”
USB-IRDA”
converter (USB-to-optic) or through the
”
BT-IRDA”
converter (Bluetooth-to-optic).
The advantage of setting via an optical converter is the possibility of configuration via a transparent module cover,
without the need to open the module cover. This is the significant advantage especially if the module is used in
humid environment and has been sealed by additional silicon filling (additional adaptation for IP-68 proofing).
Using the
”USB-IRDA”
optical converter it is possible to display a list of current settings of all module parameters.
To display a list of parameters, click on the ”Walk” button in the ”WACO OptoConf” program window. A preview
of the table with the list of parameters of the NB-K868 module is shown in the figure
Figure 3: Table of list of NB-K868 module parameters
Most of module parameters can be configured also by using of
”
BT-IRDA”
converter and
”
SOFTLINK Con-
figurator”
mobile application. This way of configuration can be used for the parameters, that are included in
some of configuration forms of the application. Current version of
”
SOFTLINK Configurator” application supports
fulfilment of all settings, that should be performed at the installation site, including basic tests. In the figure
there is an identification form of NB-K868 module (bordered by grey colour), administration form (bordered by
blue colour) and form for basic module setting (bordered by red colour).
