The information in this manual is subject to change, on account of development,
causing changes in the product or its operation, without prior notice. If there is any
conflict between the standards in this manual and the product, please visit our website
and download the updated manual or contact our technical support.
The AWPLC manual was developed with the intuition to make the maintenance and
operational process of the equipment the smoothest and easiest as possible.
AWPLC communication is made through a radio frequency module with long-range
and high resistance to outside interferences. They are commonly used in industrial
environment to control the most various types of equipment.
The radio frequency modules are encrypted with 128 bits, making the
communication network between modules intransposible to other devices, being them
made by a third party or even by the same manufacturer, once they don't have the same
encryption code of the referred network.
All efforts were made to ensure the accuracy in the data presented on this document.
The company takes no responsibility for errors done on the printing process of this
document by a third party.
The products comprehended in this document, as well as its integrating parts,
incorporate the right protections of the manufacturer company property.

GATEWAY
Operation
The RUNTIME LED blinks if the AWPLC is
running normally. It remains off at the
initialization time and in case of Fail Conditions.
The POWER indicators remains on if the MPU is
energized and the AWPLC is ready to run.
AWBUS
The RX AWBUS LED blinks whenever the radio
receive a valid data package.
The TX AWBUS LED blinks whenever the radio
transmit a data package.
The STATUS AWBUS LED blinks to indicate
network association. If the LED remains off, then
no network association was made.
TCP/IP
The RX TCP/IP LED blinks whenever the
Ethernet Module receive a data package over
TCP/IP protocol that must be processed by
runtime.
The TX TCP/IP LED blinks whenever the
Ethernet Module transmit a data package over
TCP/IP processed by runtime.
FAULT
CONDITION
This LED FAULT turns on during any fault
condition except for Processing Unity fault. For
this last exception, after the initialization
sequence, if the RUNTIME LED does not blink
and the FAULT LED remains off, then the user
may conclude that there is a Processing Unity
Fault condition.

2.5 NETWORK
On the Network Screen there is two Tabs (Ethernet and Wi-Fi), both are suited to
define the parameters for this two kind of communication of the Gateway. The Tabs
are shown on the image below:
Figure 17 - Screen of radio.
Figure 18 – Network Screen
On the Ethernet operational mode there is the following options: DHCP
Server, Static IP, Dynamic and Default.
On the Wi-Fi operational mode the options are: DHCP Server, Static IP,
Dynamic, Disabled and Default.
2.5.1 ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP
The Ethernet configuration tab is used for selection of the operational mode of
the Ethernet interface.
As was said previously the operational modes are DHCP Server, Static IP,
Dynamic and Default as seen on the image below:
Page 17
Revisão: 02
16
Data de Criação: 00.00.0000
Data de revisão: 24.01.2019
Each one of the operational mode enables a set of fields that must be filled out
correctly. Below are the explanations of each one of those necessary fields:
• IP Address: Corresponds to the network address used by the Gateway itself.
.
• Netmask: It is a 32 bits responsable to separate the network mas and it also
separes the node number. (I.E. for a common address like 192.168.0.X the
netmask is 255.255.255.0 as used on a computer network).
.
• Start IP Address: It is used to mark the initial number of the network address
range for the devices receiving address from the DHCP Server mode (it can
receive numeric values from 0 to 253).
.
• Final IP Address: It is used to mark the last number of the network address
range for the devices receiving address from the DHCP Server mode (it’s
maximum value is 254).
• Gateway: Used to define to the network interface where the packages must
pass in case of an Internet Connection. Normally used to define the DNS
resolver address. (*DNS resolver equals “DNS Lookup” - resolves and
individual host name to a Public IP address).
• Primary DNS: The first option for DNS resolver. (I.E. a normally used
address for Primary DNS is the Google Primary DNS address 8.8.8.8. Another
option is OpenDNS 208.67.222.222).
• Secondary DNS: The second option for DNS resolver. (I.E. a normally used
address for Primary DNS is the Google Secondary DNS address 8.8.4.4.
Another option is OpenDNS 208.67.220.220).

On the DHCP Server mode, the gateway will be responsible for managing all
the connected devices on this network. Here comes a very important WARNING,
the Highlander rule. DHCP Server devices are like Highlanders, “there can be
only one” on each network. If you set two or more DHCP Servers on the same
network, they will be fighting for the management of the devices and this can
generate a real mess on your whole network.
**Highlander = An immortal character from a 1986 movie (and also a 1992-1998 Serie), that fights against other
immortals until death. Highlanders assume the killed highlander’s powers, so the battle just ends when there’s
only one left.
The fields Address IP, Netmask, Start IP and Final IP must be filled as
explained before. See the image below with an example:
Figure 20 - Mode Ethernet DHCP Server
On the Static IP mode the fields Address IP, Netmask, Start IP and Final IP
must be filled as explained before. See the image below with an example:

Figure 21 - Static ethernet mode
On the Dynamic mode there’s nothing to be done, since all the configurations
are received from a DHCP Server:
Figure 22 - Dynamic ethernet mode
The Default mode is a DHCP Server mode with default values. The IP will
be set as 1.0.0.1. Those are values determined by us, just to make sure they are
different from the ones commonly used on computer networks and are able to not
generate some kind of conflict. Remember the Highlanders rule. J

2.5.2 WI-FI NETWORK SETUP
The Wi-Fi setup Tab is used to configure the operational mode of the Wi-Fi
interface that exists on the Gateway. The parameters here are: IP Address, Netmask,
Gateway, DNS, SSID, Password, Start IP and Final IP.
On the current version of the AWPLC there are 5 different operational modes
for the Wi-Fi interface: DHCP Server, Static IP, Dynamic IP, Disabled and Default,
as shown on the image below:
:
Figure 24 - Mode operation Wi-Fi.
Each one of the operational mode enables a set of fields that must be filled out
correctly. Below are the explanations of each one of those necessary fields:
• IP Address: Corresponds to the network address used by the Gateway itself.
.
• Netmask: It is a 32 bits responsable to separate the network mas and it also
separes the node number. (I.E. for a common address like 192.168.0.X the
netmask is 255.255.255.0 as used on a computer network).
.
• Start IP Address: It is used to mark the initial number of the network address
range for the devices receiving address from the DHCP Server mode (it can
receive numeric values from 0 to 253).
.
• Final IP Address: It is used to mark the last number of the network address
range for the devices receiving address from the DHCP Server mode (it’s
maximum value is 254).
• Gateway: Used to define to the network interface where the packages must
pass in case of an Internet Connection. Normally used to define the DNS
Page 21

resolver address. (*DNS resolver equals “DNS Lookup” - resolves and
individual host name to a Public IP address).
• Primary DNS: The first option for DNS resolver. (I.E. a normally used
address for Primary DNS is the Google Primary DNS address 8.8.8.8. Another
option is OpenDNS 208.67.222.222).
• Secondary DNS: The second option for DNS resolver. (I.E. a normally used
address for Primary DNS is the Google Secondary DNS address 8.8.4.4.
Another option is OpenDNS 208.67.220.220).
• SSID: The given name that identifies the Wi-Fi network.
• Password: The passcode that allows the Wi-Fi network access. It must
contains from 7 to 67 characters. Remembering this is the Gateway’s
Password. The one that you will use on your PC or mobile device to access the
Gateway’s network and interface via browser, and with that make the
arrangements you want on your device.
On the DHCP Server mode, the gateway will be responsible for managing all
the connected devices on this network. Remember the Highlander rule. (marked on
red at the Ethernet section) If you set two or more DHCP Servers on the same
network, they will be fighting for the management of the devices and this can
generate a real mess on your whole network.

On the Dynamic mode only the SSID and Password fields are able to be
changed. The others fields are received from a DHCP Server. See the example on the
image below:
Figure 27 – Mode Wi-Fi Dynamic.
The Disabled mode as the name suggests completely disable the Wi-Fi
interface, so you will not be able to manage your gateway’s interface by a wireless
mode:

The Default mode is a DHCP Server mode with default values. The IP will
be set as 1.0.0.1, the SSID will be [AWPLC + Wi-Fi MAC Address] and the
Password will be AWPLC@PW. Those are values determined by us, just to make
sure they are different from the ones commonly used on computer networks and are
able to not generate some kind of conflict.
