1. Introduction

Moxa’s ioLogik W5300 series of programmable remote I/O solutions are stand-alone devices with full cellular

communications designed for remote monitoring applications. Using Moxa’s patented Active OPC Server with

push communications technology, ioLogik W5300 economically solve the problem with identification and

addressing that remote, private networks carried over cellular communications typically have with dynamic IP

addresses.

ioLogik W5300 Introduction

1-2

Architecture

Cellular networks usually run in a dynamic IP environment with private IP addresses assigned by the cellular

service provider. To allow private networks to get around the connectivity issues raised by edge devices

configured with dynamically assigned private IP addresses, typically operators purchase high-cost static IP

addresses for each device, with IPs provided by a DDNS or VPN service purchased from an MVNO (Mobile

Virtual Network Operator). Even with DDNS technology, SCADA systems need to assign resources to manage

the DDNS servers. As an alternative, Moxa’s Cellular remote I/O devices use Moxa’s proprietary “push”

technology, called Active OPC Server. With Moxa’s powerful Active OPC Server support, communications

efficiency between ioLogik W5300 devices and the central SCADA are substantially improved. Moxa’s Active

OPC Server’s non-polling communications architecture supports the standard OPC protocol, but instead of

requiring the SCADA to poll edge devices it allows edge devices to actively push communications to the central

HMI/SCADA system, empowering the network with real time I/O updates while substantially cutting network

overhead.

Unlike the requirements of a traditional OPC server (where remote I/O devices must use a static IP so they may

be successfully polled), Active OPC Server and ioLogik products allow engineers the flexibility of configuring

edge devices with dynamic IP addresses. Even when using DHCP addressing, ioLogik devices can push

messages back to the OPC server, allowing wide area I/O networks using dynamic IP cellular accounts. Using

traditional polling OPC applications, I/O devices cannot make use of this approach.

Using Active OPC Server to Resolve Dynamic IP Addresses

With its push communications capabilities, Active OPC Server can be configured to become a cellular gateway

that enables direct communications from the edge back to the core. By configuring the Active OPC Server with

a static address, remote I/O devices may push their IP addresses back to the OPC server and thus register with

the SCADA over a cellular network. In this way, edge devices can communicate their new IP address directly,

easily sidestepping dynamic IP addressing issues. The topology is illustrated below:

ioLogik W5300 Introduction

1-3

Each time it reassocaites with a cellular network, an edge device will most likely receive a new IP address from

the carrier. Each time it reassociates, regardless of whether the ioLogik device uses a public IP or private IP, it

will automatically register with the Active OPC Server (which has a static IP address). After registering, the

entire network can be managed by one centralized AOPC server. Thereafter, all I/O data can be read or written

via one powerful cellular device gateway.

The ioLogik W5300 allows you to use a variety of methods to connect with your application software, including

Modbus, OPC client/server, and SNMP. You can also configure AOPC server to send alarms by TCP/UDP, SMS,

and email. For example, if you are using a SCADA application to monitor your system, you can use the OPC

client/server architecture.

Active OPC Server and ioLogik W5300 series products also automatically generate tags, to eliminate the

headache of specifying individual IP addresses, I/O channels, and data formats one by one, or of editing and

importing configuration text files. Instead, Active OPC Server automatically creates the tags for a target ioLogik.

All you need to do is select the channels to be updated from the Active OPC Server. Generally speaking, tag

generation is 50 times faster on Active OPC Server compared to a traditional OPC server, making extra training

for installation and configuration of the OPC no longer a requirement.

The traditional polling architecture occupies more network bandwidth, which results in longer response times.

In comparison, cellular-enabled ioLogik units use push communications, and can report active messages

when predefined events occur. This event-driven logic successfully speeds up I/O response times, allows for

more precise I/O access, and relieves network bandwidth and CPU loading burdens.

Resolving Dynamic/Private IP Issues with DDNS

In addition to using Active OPC Server to register an ioLogik W5300 with SCADA over a dynamic IP cellular

connection, you may also use DDNS to configure the device with a unique URL. The ioLogik W5300 can be

configured to register a DNS hostname (i.e. – URL) with DDNS, and thereby convert a dynamic IP to a

publicized address. In this way, centralized control software will be able to connect to the remote ioLogik

W5300 without requiring a fixed IP or VPN service from a network provider.

NOTE

Device features are dependent on the firmware version. Be sure to use firmware version V1.3 or above for the

ioLogik W5312 series, and V1.5 or above for the ioLogik W5340 series.

ioLogik W5300 Introduction

1-4

Overview

The ioLogik W5300 combines a cellular modem, a data logger, and a remote I/O device into one compact

box, dramatically reducing the amount of effort required to integrate devices from multiple vendors. The

cellular interface supports tri-band HSPA/UMTS and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, offering a full

spectrum of 3G mobile communication services. The cellular remote I/O unit provides I/O and serial data

logging onto an SD card that can support up to 32 GB of storage space. Multiple options are available to

remotely retrieve data logs, such as FTP, e-mail, and Moxa’s DA-Center™. In addition, this cellular remote I/O

unit is a programmable device that supports Click&Go™ control logic for constructing customized control

systems. The ioLogik W5300 is a rugged device with tolerance for a wide range of temperatures, well suited for

hard-to-wire remote monitoring and alarm applications such at unmanned sites like riversides and pipelines.

Product Features

• Trouble-free connections to cellular networks

• Automatic data update from SD cards following network failure

• Front-end intelligence for event handling

• Intelligent SMS alarms and SMS commands

• Friendly serial device connectivity

• Network redundancy

Appearance

NOTE

The reset button restarts the server and resets all settings to factory defaults. Use a pointed object such as

a straightened paper clip to hold the reset button down for 5 sec. The RDY LED will turn red as you are holding

the reset button down. The factory defaults will be loaded once the RDY LED turns green again. You can then

release the reset button.

Before Testing

Prepare the following items before testing the ioLogik W5300.

1. Set up the Active OPC server environment, including network settings.

2. Install ioAdmin on the same PC serving Active OPC.

Installing the ioAdmin Utility

ioAdmin is a Windows utility provided for the configuration and management of the ioLogik W5300. ioAdmin

can be used from anywhere on the network to monitor and configure the ioLogik W5300.

Installing from the CD: Insert the Document and Software CD into the host computer. In the

Software/Utility directory of the CD, locate and run SETUP.EXE. The installation program will guide you

through the installation process and install the ioAdmin utility. After the installation is finished, run ioAdmin

from the Windows Start menu.

You can also download ioAdmin from Moxa’s website. Navigate to the moxa website at:

http://www.moxa.com/support/search.aspx?type=soft

Once there, enter the name of the product you have purchased into the search bar or select it from the

dropdown menu, and after navigating to the product page click on Utilities, in the middle of the page, located

in the box titled Software.

Laboratory Testing

Grounding the Unit

The ioLogik is equipped with one grounding point located on the top of the device next to the Power Input

Terminal Block. To provide better stability for both power and signal transmission, we recommend wiring the

grounding point to a suitable grounded contact, such as the power supply or a cabinet enclosure.

WARNING

This equipment is intended to be used in Restrict

ed Access Locations

. External metal parts are

hot! Before touching it, special attention or protection is necessary.

Connecting to a Power Source

Connect the 12 to 36 VDC power line to the ioLogik’s Power Input Terminal Block. If power is properly supplied,

the PWR LED will glow a steady GREEN color; the READY LED will glow a steady GREEN when the system is

ready.

ATTENTION

Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes

dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current exceeds the maximum rating, the

wiring could overheat,

causing serious damage to your equipment. For safety reasons, we recommend an

average cable size of 22 AWG. However, depending on the current load, you may want to adjust your cable

size (the maximum wire size for power connectors is 2 mm).

Connecting to ioAdmin via Ethernet

Configuring the Computer’s IP Address

1. For initial configuration, we recommend using a direct connection through the RJ45 Ethernet

console port to a host computer, rather than remotely over the cellular network. Connect the ioLogik to

the host PC with an Ethernet cable.

2. Set the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.XXX. (where XXX can range from 001 to 253). In

Windows, you can adjust this setting through the Control Panel



Network and Internet. The default

ioLogik device settings are:

Default IP Address Default Netmask Default Gateway

192.168.127.254 255.255.255.0 None

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-4

Example IP: 192.168.127.200

Activating ioAdmin and connecting to the ioLogik

1. To open ioAdmin, click the Start meny, then Program Files MOXA IO Server Utility ioAdmin.

2. When ioAdmin is started, it will automatically run the a search program to find all ioLogik devices on the

network to which you are connected. You may also click System on the menu bar, then select Auto Scan

ioLogik device. A dialog will appear. Click Start Search. Once the ioLogik has been detected, modify the

settings as needed for your network environment, and then restart the device.

NOTE

The

best approach to setting up a previously configured ioLogik is to first reset it to the factory default

using

the reset button

(see Chapter 1 for details). You can then use ioAdmin to configure the ioLogik.

3. If the host computer has multiple interfaces, be sure to select the correct one before searching.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-5

NOTE

If multiple ioLogik W

5300 units with the same default IP address are installed on the same network,

to avoid

IP conflicts

you will need to first

assign a different IP address to each unit. ioAdmin automatically detects IP

conflicts and gives you a chance to modify each

unit’s IP address in the IP Address column. Click the Set

button to reboot the

corresponding unit with its new IP address. Click the Re-Search button to

check if the

setting has been successful by

refreshing the list of units found by ioAdmin.

4. Login as administrator: For full access to all configuration options, log in as administrator from the

Server Settings panel. This is required whenever you start ioAdmin, or boot up or restart the ioLogik. When

you install the ioLogik for the first time, the password will be blank and you can simply click Login. If a

password has already been set, hold down the reset button to clear the password and load factory defaults.

5. Monitoring and Testing I/O status: Once your unit has been found by ioAdmin, you can view the status

of all attached I/O on ioAdmin’s main screen.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-6

NOTE

ioAdmin supports four viewing options for the navigation panel. If you select

Sort by Active OPC server

, the

ioLogik W

5300 will appear in the Active OPC server group. Alternately, the same device

will be shown under

the

LAN group if you connect to the W5300 with Ethernet cables, instead of over the cellular network.

You can test each DO channel by opening the channel’s configuration window and selecting the Digital Output

Test tab.

After clicking the Test button, you can see how a channel’s status affects or is affected by the attached device.

For DO channels, you can set the on/off status to start and stop pulse output. For DI channels, you can monitor

the attached device’s on/off status, or monitor the counter.

You can now use ioAdmin to set up or configure your unit. Refer to Chapter 3 for additional information on using

ioAdmin.

Configuring Digital I/O Channels

The ioLogik W5300 product family is equipped with different I/O types, including analog inputs, digital inputs,

digital outputs, relay outputs, and software configurable DIOs, offering great flexibility for connecting I/O

devices such as software configurable DIO channels. Before you connect I/O devices and sensors, you should

configure the DIO channels as DI or DO. The W5340 for example comes with 4 DI channels and 4 DO channels.

However, the user has the option of redefining the function of these channels. Each DIO channel is configured

to act as either a DI or DO channel, according to the Power On Settings. To switch between DI and DO

channel operation, select the desired mode in the I/O Direction field under Power on Settings. After clicking

Apply, you will need to restart the ioLogik W5300 for the new setting to take effect.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-7

Connecting I/O Devices

Unlike traditional Ethernet I/O products, the ioLogik W5300 can connect to analog sensors, dry contact, PNP,

and NPN sensors at the same time. The sensor type determines your wiring approach, as shown in the following

examples (this example shows the pin numbers for an ioLogik W5340 unit):

Analog Input

Digital Input Dry Contact:

Digital Input Wet Contact (Connect to NPN-type Sensor)

Digital Input Wet Contact (Connect to PNP-type Sensor)

Digital Output (Sink Type)

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-8

Relay Output

ATTENTION

When connecting the I/O device to the ioLogik’s dry contacts, we strongly recommend connecting DI.Com to

the power of the external sensor to avoid affecting other channels.

DI.Com input power should

be limited at

12 to 36 VDC.

ATTENTION

Sensor types are arranged in groups, with DI

O-0 to DIO-3 forming one group and DIO-4 to DIO-7

forming

another group. If an NPN sensor is connected to DI

-0, then only NPN sensors ca

n be connected to the other

DI channels in that group (i.e., DI

O-1, DIO-2, and DIO-3). Likewise, if a PNP sensor is connected to DIO-4

,

then only PNP sensors can be connected to the other DI channels in that group (i.e., DI

O-5, DIO-6, and

DI

O-7).

Testing I/O Devices

Power on the ioLogik W5300, try changing the I/O status, and then use ioAdmin to determine if the status has

changed under the I/O Configuration bar. (Refer to the figure below)

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-9

DIN Rail / Wall Mounting

The ioLogik W5300’s built-in mounting appendages are suitable for mounting on a flat wall or installing on a

DIN rail. Follow the instructions in the figures below to install the W5300 on a DIN rail.

STEP 1: Insert the top

of the DIN rail into the

slot.

STEP 2: The DIN rail

attachment unit will

snap into place as

shown at right.

Installing/Removing SIM and SD Cards

The ioLogik is equipped with two slots; one is for SIM cards and the other is for SD cards. The card reader slots

are protected inside the ioLogik device. You will need to unscrew and remove the card cover to install your SIM

and SD cards. When inserting an SD or SIM card, remember to keep the chipped side of the card facing down.

Follow these steps to remove or install a SIM or SD card:

1. Remove the screw holding the card cover in place.

2. There are two different card slot types used on the ioLogik series of devices:

(a) On ioLogik W5312 and W5340 models, directly insert or remove the SIM/SD card into the respective slot

(b) On the ioLogik W5340-HSPA you must first depress the card-locking mechanism to eject the card. Use

a pointed instrument like a ball-point pen to depresss the small yellow button at the side of the card slot.

This ejects the card tray, from which you may then insert or remove a SIM card.

ATTENTION

We strongly recommend using

the following SD cards, which have been tested in our laboratory:

•

Kingston SDHC 4/16/32 GB

•

Transcend SDHC 4/8/32 GB

•

Innodisk SD6 2/4/8 GB (These Innodisk SD cards are classified as wide-temperature products.)

The function is dependent on the firmware version. Be sure to use firmware version V1.3 or above for the

ioLogik W5312 series, and V1.5 or above for the ioLogik W5340 series.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-10

The SIGNAL LEDs on the front panel provide

a convenient way of checking if the SIM card

is installed properly. If the antenna is

installed and the network is operating

normally, then at least one of the three

SIGNAL LEDs should be illuminated at all

times. If none of the LEDs are illuminated,

then the SIM card may not be installed

properly. This is because the PIN code is

stored on the SIM card; if the PIN code

cannot be accessed, then the modem will not be accessible over the network. If the LED is not illuminated,

check the Error message shown on the ioAdmin “cellular settings” panel.

Connecting the ioLogik W5300 to a Cellular Network

When the environment is ready, follow these steps to test the ioLogik W5300 (refer to the figure below).

Step 1: Connect directly from the PC to the W5300 and use ioAdmin to configure the W5300’s cellular settings.

Step 2: For the ioLogik W5300, enter the user name, password, SIM Pin, APN, and define the Active OPC

server IP on the cellular settings page. Make sure the Operation Mode is correctly selected.

Step 3: Remove the cable connecting the PC and ioLogik W5300, re-open ioAdmin, and then add the Active

OPC Server manually. The checkmarked PC will receive Internet access first.

Detailed instructions:

1. Power off the ioLogik W5300.

2. Insert a SIM card that can connect to the cellular network.

3. Connect to ioAdmin via the Ethernet port of the ioLogik.

4. Power on the ioLogik and start ioAdmin.

5. After connecting ioAdmin and the ioLogik W5300, log in with the administrator password.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

2-11

6. To set up your cellular

connection, click the Cellular

Settings tab and enter your

User name, Password, SIM pin

code, and APN of your Cellular

Provider (contact your local

Cellular Service Provider for

assistance) than click Update. When you click Update, the system will prompt you to restart to activate

the new settings.

7. The Operation Mode must also be correctly selected for your application.

(Default Operation Mode: Cellular Always On)

8. After rebooting, the W5300 will try to connect to the Cellular network, with the connection status shown in

the Cellular Status column. If the connection is established, the IP address will appear in this column. If

the connection is not successful, you will receive an Error message. Additional details can be found in

Appendix F.

9. For testing, Once you have obtained the public IP address for the ioLogik W5300, try to PING from the DOS

shell (e.g., type C\:>ping 61.56.74.10). If the W5300 is using a private IP, you can skip this step.

NOTE

Be sure to configure the LAN settings first to make sure the LAN IP Address is on the same subnet

as the PC running ioAdmin. Follow the instructions to restart the ioLogik and then proceed with the settings

on the Cellular Settings page.

NOTE

Be sure to select the Cellular Setting

 Operation Mode  Cellular Always ON when performing the

connection test.

Installing AOPC on a Host with a Static IP Address

Moxa’s Active OPC Server™ is an OPC software driver for an HMI or SCADA system. It seamlessly connects

Moxa’s ioLogik products to a wide variety of SCADA systems, including the most popular: Wonderware, Citect,

and iFix. Active OPC Server™ conforms to the OPC Foundation’s DA 3.0 data access standard. Active OPC

server must use public, static IP address.

1. To install Active OPC Server, insert the installation CD into the host computer. In the Software\Utility

directory of the CD, then locate and run setup.exe. The installation program will guide you through the

installation process and install the Active OPC Server utility. The OPC Core Components will be installed as

well. Active OPC Server can be downloaded from the Moxa Website, and may be found from the support

page, www.moxa.com/support/. After downloading the AOPC software, unzip it and run setup.exe. The

installation program will guide you through the installation process and install the Active OPC Server Utility.

For more details on AOPC installation and use, refer to the Active OPC User’s Manual.

2. Start the ioAdmin utility and set

up the Active OPC Server IP

address on the Active Tags

panel. ioAdmin will prompt you to

reboot the ioLogik W5300 after

clicking the Update button. Click

yes to restart the ioLogik.

3. Start Active OPC Server; a new ioLogik W5300 will be created.

4. In ioAdmin’s search menu,

manually add the IP address for

Active OPC Server. The ioLogik

W5300 will appear under Active

OPC Server. The ioAdmin search

menu is set by default to sort by

Active OPC.

ioLogik W5300 Getting Started

5. You can now test and monitor I/O status in ioAdmin.

NOTE

In this scenario,

Active OPC Server is acting as middleware between the

central configuration/control software

and the ioLogik W

5300

remote I/O unit served over a cellular interface. To minimize bandwidth usage, click the

Refresh

button manually to retrieve the settings.

Import/Export a Configuration File

Using ioAdmin to Import/Export a Device Configuration

To import or export a system configuration right click on the I/O model name and then selection Import

System Config or Export System Config. You must be logged in as an administrator to use this command.

Export System Config

Select this command to export the selected ioLogik’s configuration to a text file. We recommend using this

method to back up your configuration after you have finished configuring the ioLogik for your application.

ATTENTION

Since there are major functional differences between firmware versions, exporting the configuration file

requires a longer processing time.

Adjust the TCP Socket Timeout Interval to 30 seconds when using

ioAdmin 3.10 or above, especially if earlie

r versions of ioAdmin have been installed and then removed.

Import System Config

Select this command to load a configuration for the selected ioLogik from a configuration text file. The new

configuration will not take effect until the ioLogik has been restarted. This command can be used to restore a

configuration after loading the factory defaults, or to duplicate a configuration to multiple ioLogik units.

ATTENTION

Since

there are major function differences between firmw

are versions, the configuration file is not compatible

if using firmware V1.3 or above for the ioLogik W5312 series, and V1.5 or above for the ioLogik W5340 series.

The configuration file cannot be imported into firmware versions earlier than the above versions.

Be sure to check your firmware version carefully before importing/exporting and upgrading

firmware.

Main Window

The main window allows users to view I/O status, ioLogik system information, and check messages from the

message monitor without requiring logging in to the ioLogik. However, you will need to log in to perform

configuration and operation tasks.

I/O Configuration Panel (General)

The I/O Configuration panel shows the status of every I/O channel. This is the default panel when you first

open ioAdmin. Input channels are listed on the left and output channels are listed on the right. For more

information about configuring I/O, see the section I/O Configuration Panel, below.

Server Info Panel

Information such as the device name, configured IP address, and firmware version, is displayed on the Server

Server Settings Panel (General)

Click the Server Settings tab to log in as an ioAdmin

administrator. This is required to gain access to the

ioLogik configuration options. If a password has not

been set up, simply click Login and leave the

Password field blank.

Message Monitor Panel (General)

The Message Monitor will

display any TCP/UDP Active

Messages reported by the

ioLogik W5300. When you

install the unit for the first time,

the ruleset will not have been

defined yet, so there will be no

messages on the monitor.

When a ruleset has been

defined and activated, any

TCP/UDP messages that have

been triggered by sensor

events will be shown on the

monitor.

Messages can be displayed in ASCII, HEX, or 2-byte Unicode (UCS2). To select your preferred code, check the

appropriate button at the bottom of the window. Unicode supports multiple languages.

Synchronization Rate Status Bar

The current sync rate is displayed on the bar at the bottom of the window. The number shows how often the

ioLogik is polled for device status from the ioAdmin utility. The rate can be adjusted by clicking Menu Bar 

System  I/O Status Refresh Rate. Higher sync rates result in a higher network load.

ioAdmin Status Bar

The status bar shows

ioAdmin status

information, such as

ioAdmin Configuration Panels

For full access to all configuration options users must log in as administrator from the Server Settings panel.

This is required whenever you start up ioAdmin, re-boot, or restart the ioLogik. When you install an ioLogik for

the first time the password will be blank; in this case, just click Login, no password is required. Additional

functions are available after logging in, including the following tabs:

When making configuration changes, you will need to click Update or Apply to save the changes. Some

changes will require that the unit be restarted in order to take effect.

ATTENTION

You MUST log in

as administrator to access the Network, Watchdog Timer, and Firmware Update

panels.

If you forget the password, hold down the

reset button to clear the password and load factory defaults.

This

will result in the loss of all configuration settings and

any Click&Go logic that may have already

been configured.

The Server Settings Panel

In the Server Settings panel you can configure Management Settings like password, server name, and

server location. ioAdmin supports long server names and a location description of up to 58 chars. You can also

configure Time Settings such as local date and time, time zone, and time server under the Server Setting

Panel. For example, you can use tock.stdtime.gov.tw.

NOTE

The

server also relates to the node created in the Active OPC Server.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-12

The LAN Settings Panel

The LAN Settings panel is available after you log in as administrator. You will be able to configure IP,

Modbus/TCP Alive Check Timeout, DNS, and SNMP settings.

IP Settings

You can set up a static or dynamic IP address for the ioLogik, as well as a subnet mask and gateway address.

To allow only authorized IP addresses to have access to the ioLogik and attached sensors, click Accessible IP.

Access will be granted only to addresses listed in the Accessible IP screen. Any requests from sources that are

not on the accessible IP list will be unable to use Modbus/TCP or ioAdmin to access the ioLogik.

Modbus/TCP Alive Check Timeout Settings

Modbus/TCP Alive Check Timeout is designed to avoid TCP congestion due to a connection failure. If the

network host is unable to respond due to a hardware failure or a network problem, the ioLogik will continue to

wait for a response from the host. This will cause the TCP port to be occupied indefinitely by the host. On the

other hand, if an idle connection timeout interval is enabled for Modbus/TCP, then when the ioLogik’s connection to the

server exceeds a specified time period the device will automatically release its modbus/TCP connection to the server, freeing

up the port for a new connection.

DNS Settings

Use this field to specify the IP addresses of one or two DNS servers. DNS servers can be used to find available

e-mail addresses when setting up Click&Go rules. By default, DNS is set to automatic. If you want to configure

a specific setting, contact your local cellular provider for details.

SNMP Settings

The ioLogik W5300 supports SNMP v1 and v2c (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor network and

I/O devices. It is useful for building automation and telecom applications. Use these fields to enable SNMP and

to set read and write strings.

The I/O Configuration Panel

When logged in as administrator, click on the I/O Configuration tab and double click on one of the channels

listed below to configure that channel’s settings. A window for that channel will open, showing the configuration

options. After the channel has been configured, click Apply to implement the new settings.

NOTE

Right click the window to change the view to show or not show the product picture.

Horizontal View include

the product picture, whereas

Vertical View does not show the product picture.

Configuring AI Channels

The ioLogik W5340 and

W5340-HSPA are both equipped

with 4 AI (analog input) channels

that can be set individually to ±5 V,

±10 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 20 mA, and 4

to 20 mA. You may also set all channels at once using the Apply to all channels check box (left figure, below).

Alias Name (right figure, below) lets users configure the alias of an AI channel. The alias can be monitored by

the ioAdmin utility, or can be queried using either a user-defined program based on the Moxa MXIO library, or

a standard Modbus/TCP protocol.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-14

Users can increase the sampling rate on devices using one channel by disabling the unused AI channel by

un-checking the Enable Channel checkbox, in the upper left corner of the window.

Enabling Auto Scaling will linearly convert the actual current or voltage value into other user defined units,

such as percentage or ppm (parts per million)

Two scaling methods: slope formula, and slope-intercept

Auto Scaling with the point-slope formula can help to

eliminate high- and low-end extremes. For example, if 17

mA represents the highest allowable temperature, then it

is not necessary to allow higher temperature values. You

may then cut off any values beyond 17 mA and convert

those to a proprietary danger level, such as Level 5.

Auto Scaling with the slope-intercept formula

provides linear conversion with one ratio (M) and offset

(D). Offset can be an initial value of field device. Ratio can

help enlarge or reduce the scale by specifying a proportion.

It is also easy to modify the values in the database if we

need to use new ratio and offset values in the future.

The Reset Min and Reset

Max buttons will clear the

minimum or maximum

values recorded and

displayed in the ioAdmin

main window.

Configuring Virtual Channels

The ioLogik W5300 has 10 internal virtual channels to support front-end statistics functions like Maximum

Value (Max), Minimum Value (Min), Average Value, Accumulation, Instantaneous, and Incremental.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-15

The data source is the real I/O channel, such as AI and DI counters, some of which need to be converted to the

appropriate time unit. The operation is illustrated below.

After double-clicking on a virtual channel a popup window will appear (see below). First select the physical

source I/O. There are three types: AI, Counter, and I/O via Expansion Modules.

Next, choose the statistics function and time interval. There are six functions: Max, Min, Average,

Accumulation, Instantaneous, and Incremental. The time unit can be set to minutes or hours, with a

maximum value of 1440.

For example, if you want to monitor the daily flow at a point in a pipeline, you can use a pulse output flow meter

where 1 pulse indicates 5 ml. We can set the virtual channel’s scaling function so that 1 tick of counter input

equals 5 ml. Next, we set the Accumulation flag, and configure the Time Interval to 24 hours. This will set

up the virtual channel to log the total water flow volume over a period of 24 hours.

NOTE

Virtual channels are required to

configure AI or counter channels. For c

ounter channels, configure the

Counter Scaling

on the I/O Configuration panel before setting other operations in the virtual channels.

Configuring Digital I/O Channels

Digital I/O channels may be configured

for either input or output. When the

ioLogik W5300 is turned on, each digital

I/O channel will be configured to act as

either DI or DO, according to the Power

On Settings. To switch a channel

between input and output, select the

Use Virtual Channel to get the value, such as Max, Min,

Average, Accumulation, Instantaneous, and Incremental

desired mode in the I/O Direction field under Power On Settings. After clicking Apply, you will need to

restart the ioLogik W5300 for the new setting to take effect.

Configuring Digital Input Channels

The ioLogik W5300 can provide up to 12 digital

input (DI) channels. To configure software filtering

for a channel, set the Mode dropdown in section 1

Mode Settings to Filter. Software filtering is used

to avoid switch bounces. The filter is configurable in

multiples of 0.5 ms and accepts values between 1

and 65535. For example, a setting of 100 would

mean a 50 ms filter (100 × 0.5 ms).

The Mode dropdown may also be used to set the channel as straight Input (DI), or as an Event Counter.

Type On Off

Dry contact Short to GND Open

Wet contact 0 to 3 VDC 10 to 30 VDC

When set as an Event Counter, the channel will accept limit or proximity switches, and will tabulate ON/OFF

signal events. When Lo to Hi is selected, the counter value increases when an attached switch/circuit is closed.

When Hi to Lo is selected, the counter value increases when an attached switch/circuit is released. When Both

is selected, the counter value increases when attached the switch/circuit is successively closed and opened.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-17

Counter Scaling

After configuring a DI channel as an Event Counter, an additional Counter Scaling tab will indicate how often

the counter should be updated during the time unit specified for the virtual channel. For example, if the device

is configured to Update every 5 sec in the Counter Scaling tab, and the Virtual Channel is configured for Time

Interval = 1 min, and has Accumulation flagged, then as each minute passes this virtual channel will log the

total of the last 12 counter updates.

The counter value resets to zero whenever power is disconnected. To make sure the counter value is saved

whenever power is disconnected, select Save Status on Power Failure. Once power is reconnected the value

will remain the same as when power was cut.

To enable the counter to resume counting immediately upon powering up, go to the Power On Settings

section of the DI Config tab. The counter starts logging signals only after configured to do so by a Modbus or

a Click&Go command. You can also specify counting to begin automatically whenever the ioLogik is powered on.

To configure automatic counting, select Start under Counter mode parameter in the Power On Settings,

which is located under the DI Config tab within the DI Channel Window.

You can configure how a counter behaves during a network disconnect by navigating to the Watchdog panel

(click on the Watchdog tab in the main window) and configuring the Safe Status Settings and Host

Connection Watchdog. When the watchdog is enabled, any disconnection from the network will activate a

safe state; the counter may be configured to continue counting throughout the safe state by selecting

Start/Continue (found under the Counter Mode Parameters). If Start/Continue is not enabled, the

counter will suspend counting. If the Host Connection Watchdog is not enabled, then 阿 Safe Status

Settings will be ignored and the counter will continue counting during a network disconnection.

ATTENTION

The

Host Connection Watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled for Safe Status Settings

to

take effect.

The Apply to All Channels option applies all settings to all DI channels on the selected device.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-18

Configuring Digital Output / Relay Output Channels

The ioLogik W5340 and W5340

HSPA can be configured to

provide up to 8 digital output

channels and 2 relay output

channels, while the ioLogik

W5312 provides up to 12

digital output channels. All of these channels may be treated as output channels. A DO channel can be set to

either DO or Pulse Output mode.

Digital Output Mode Pulse Output Mode

In digital output mode, the specifications are as follows.

Type OFF ON

DO mode Open Short

In Pulse Output mode, the selected digital output channel will generate a square wave as specified in the

pulse mode parameters. The low and high level widths are specified in multiples of 0.5 ms for Digital Output

(1.5 s for Relay output), with a maximum setting of 65,535. For digital output, you would enter 1000 for a width

of 500 ms. If the OFF width value is 5000 and the ON width value is 5000, the pulse output would be a square

wave with a 5-second pulse cycle. You can specify between 1 and 4,294,967,295 pulses; 0 indicates a

continuous pulse output.

When the ioLogik is first powered on, the status of each DO channel is set to OFF by default. This behavior can

be modified using the Power On Settings, located on the DO Config tab. You can set a DO channel to turn

ON or to commence pulse output whenever the ioLogik is powered on.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-19

Relay Count Monitoring

Two types of relay counts can be recorded in the ioLogik W5340: Total Counts and Current Counts. Relay

Total Counts records the total number of times a relay output channel has been triggered in its lifetime. In

general, each relay output channel can be used an average of 100,000 times. Users can monitor these counts

to see when the module should be replaced, or to switch to a different channel if the total count approaches the

upper limit.

Current Counts

allows the counter to

be reset to zero so

that relay triggers may be measured in batches. For example, if RLY-0 is connected to an external relay control

board, you can monitor the current counts to see when to replace the external relay component before it fails.

Last Reset Time records the last time Current Counts was reset. Both Total Counts and Current Counts

will be saved when there is a power failure. The Last Reset Time will be saved whenever the user manually

presses the Reset to Zero button.

You can control how a digital output / relay output channel

acts when the network is disconnected by navigating to

the Watchdog tab in the main window panel and setting

the appropriate parameters in the Safe Status Settings

and the Host Connection Watchdog panels. When the

Host Connection Watchdog is enabled, a network

disconnection will activate a safe state. The DO channel

can be configured to turn on, turn off, or commence pulse

output during the safe state. If the Host Connection

Watchdog is not enabled, then the DO/Relay Output

channel status will remain unchanged during a network disconnection.

ATTENTION

The

Host Connection Watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled for Safe Status Settings

to

take effect.

Testing DI and DO Channels

You can test each channel by opening the channel’s configuration window (by clicking on its entry in the I/O

configuration panel in the main window) and selecting the Test tab.

Digital Input Test:

Digital Ouput Test:

Use the Test panel to see how a channel’s status affects or is affected by the attached device. For DO/Relay

Output channels, you can set the on/off status or start and stop pulse output. For DI channels, you can monitor

the attached device’s on/off status, or monitor the counter.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-20

Alias Name

Alias Name helps users configure the alias of a DI or

DO/Relay Output channel and define the status for On/Off as

Open/Closed or Closed/Open. The alias can be monitored by

the ioAdmin utility, and can be queried using a user-defined

program based on the Moxa MXIO library, or a standard

TCP/Modbus protocol.

The I/O Expansion Panel

The ioLogik W5300 may be configured to serve up to three daisy-chained ioLogik E1200 external I/O

expansion units. The ioAdmin utility cannot be used to define signal parameters for the the ioLogik E1200s

input and output channels; this must be done by connecting to the ioLogik E1200 using the ioSearch utility.

However, once the basic signal and channel parameters are defined this hardware configuration may be

exported to the ioLogik W5300 and then higher-order logic may be configured using the ioAdmin Click&Go,

Active Tags, and Data Logging panels. The maximum number of expansion modules allowed is three.

E1200 expansion units do not need to be directly connected (e.g., they may be connected using a switch), but

they must be installed on the same network segment as the ioLogik W5300, or they will not be detected. To

configure an E1200 expansion unit for use with the ioLogik W5300, follow these steps:

1. Start ioSearch, and use it to detect your ioLogik E1200 external expansion modules.

2. Configure the signal parameters for each I/O channel.

3. Save the configuration to a file.

4. Use ioSearch to import the configuration file to your local drive.

5. Open ioAdmin, and open the I/O Expansions panel.

6. Load the E1200 configuration file into ioAdmin by pressing the Add button and indicating the filepath.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for any other ioLogik E1200 units you wish to configure.

8. Restart the ioLogik W5300.

After the restart ioAdmin should automatically detect your ioLogik E1200 devices. You may now use ioAdmin’s

Click&Go, Active Tags, and Data Logging panels to complete the configuration of the I/O expansion units.

Once the devices are detected, you should see them listed in the I/O Expansions panel as shown below.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-21

The Slot# column shown in the I/O Expansion panel will list the ioLogik E1200 units in the order their

configuration files are added. This means that if you first import the device closest to your ioLogik W5300,

that device will be listed as Slot# 1. If you then add the E1200 that is most distant from the W5300 (i.e.: the

module that is last in the chain), that module will be listed as Slot# 2, while the middle device (second in the

chain) will be added last, and so listed as Slot# 3. To avoid confusion, please make sure that you add the

devices in the order that makes the most sense for your topology.

The I/O Expansion panel will show the Modbus Address; the list of Modbus addresses may be exported to

a local file using the Export button.

ATTENTION

The following ioLogik E1200 models

may be used as external I/O expansion units:

E1210

(16 DIs), E1211 (16 DOs), E1212 (8 DIs and 8 DIOs), E1213

(4DI, 4 source DO, 4 DIO (source DO),

E1214

(6 DIs and 6 Relays), E1240 (8 DIs), E1241 (4 AOs), E1242 (4 AIs, 4 DIs, and 4 DIOs), E1260

(6

RTDs), and

E1262 (8TCs).

In addition to the models listed above, all

E12XX-T models may also be used for external I/O expansion.

Please keep in mind that

ioLogik E12000 expansion units can only be used with ioLogik W5300 series using

the

following

firmware versions:

W5312

: V1.3 and above; W5340: V1.6 and above; W5340-HSPA: V1.3 and above

W

5340 models with firmware v1.5 can support these 5 models: E1210, E1211, E1212, E1214, and E1240.

I/O Expansion: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Use ioSearch to configure the signal parameters for each ioLogik E1200 I/O channels

First, configure the E1200 device for connection to the network. For details on how to do this, please refer to

your ioLogik E1200 Users’ Manual. Please note that all expansion modules must reside on the same network

segment as the ioLogik W5300.

Next, use the ioSearch

Utility to detect all

available E1200 devices

on the network. If you do

not have ioSearch

installed on your local

computer, you may also

enter the IP address of a

remote E1200 into a web

browser to connect the

E1200’s web console,

which will automatically

serve the E1200’s

configuration utility over

HTTP. A screenshot of the

configuration utility is

shown below.

After bringing up the

configuration utility you

may now use the left menu to navigate the utility and configure signal parameters for the I/O channels. When

you are done, save these into the E1200’s configuration file.

Step 2: Export the configuration file from the remote ioLogik E1200 to your local host.

You may save the E1200’s configuration file on your local machine by using the Export System Config button

located on the menu at the left of the configuration utility (shown on the screenshot just above).

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-22

Step 3: Use ioAdmin to add the configuration file to the ioLogik W5300.

Open ioAdmin and choose the I/O

Expansions tab. Export the E1200’s

configuration file to the W5300 by

pressing the Add button. This will bring

up a dialog that will allow you to browse

your file system and select the correct

filepath.

Step 3: Connect the ioLogik W5300 and E1200.

Connect the W5300 to the first E1200 I/O expansion module using an Ethernet cable via the RJ45 port. You

may then daisy chain the second and third expansion modules using the E1200’s switched Ethernet ports.

Step 4: Restart the ioLogik W5300.

After you have exported the configuration files into the w5300’s ioAdmin utility, restart the ioLogik W5300.

Open ioAdmin and log in. The ioLogik W5300 and expansion modules will be shown on the screen, with the IP

address of a device listed above the device. When you add an I/O expansion module, such as the ioLogik E1210

or E1211, additional tabs will appear, as shown below.

Step 5: Use ioAdmin to configue the higher order logic for the expansion modules.

Click on the I/O Expansion tab to check I/O

status for individual devices, or to set the alias for

a selected I/O channel. You may also use the

Click&Go, Data Logging, and Active Tags

panels to configure automated behavior and

routines for each E1200 I/O terminal.

NOTE

You cannot configure the

E1200’s I/O channels usihg ioAdmin. The configuration must be done with t

he E1200

configuration tool

, either over the web console or using ioSearch.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

The Active Tags Panel

When logged in as administrator, fill in the fixed IP address on the Active Tags panel to configure address and

port settings for Active OPC. The Active OPC Server Address may use either an IP address or a URL. The

default port number is 9900. The port number should be the same as the one set as the Active OPC Server’s

Active Tag Listen Port. After the OPC and channel tags have been configured, click Create Tags. The ioLogik

W5300 must be rebooted in order for the settings to take effect.

The Heartbeat Interval configures the period of time for the heartbeat signal to the AOPC server; this is used

to confirm the connection between an ioLogik device and the Active OPC server is live. If the heartbeat interval

is set and the network between the ioLogik and Active OPC server is down, the AOPC panel will detect the

heartbeat has stopped and will display BAD in the Quality column to indicate the loss of connectivity.

Setting the heartbeat interval to 0 disables it. When the heartbeat is disabled, the SysConnect tag on the

Active OPC server will always be 1, indicating that the AOPC server will not know if the connection state is live

or dead.

Active OPC: Redundancy Mode

The Active Tags panel offers three AOPC redundancy modes: Normal, Synchronicity, and Change while

failed.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-24

Normal

No redundancy: connects to a single

Active OPC.

Synchronicity

Synchronizes with 2 Active OPC

servers at the same time.

Change while failed

Tries to connect with the first Active

OPC Server IP. If it cannot connect,

it will automatically connect with the

second IP, and when the connection

to the second IP fails, it will switch

back to the first IP.

Heartbeat Interval

Tag updates are event-driven, and only change when a configured I/O event occurs; if the status remains

unchanged, tags are not updated to Active OPC server, and so the server will not know if a device remains

active or has gone down. To remedy this, a heartbeat signal can be used to verify for the AOPC server that the

ioLogik device remains active, over a live connection. If a heartbeat is configured and the connection between

the ioLogik and AOPC server is broken, the AOPC server will detect that the heartbeat has stopped and then

display in the Quality column the BAD label, to indicate the device is down.

The ioLogik W5300 heartbeat is

especially useful for monitoring

the connection state over

cellular links, to detect when a

cellular connection experiences

connectivity isseus because of

low bandwidth.

For the W5300 series, we

suggest using a value greater

than 60 seconds.

Read/Write Privilege

An input channel can only be read when Active OPC server lists an output channel as read/write. Note that a

channel is only read if an output channel was associated in the Click&Go logic tag of that channel.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-25

Active Tags

A tag selection table shown in the right panel of the browser window shows the details of your selection.

The I/O status of a channel can be updated to the Active OPC Server once it is changed, or updated periodically.

1. Check the On Change

checkbox to force an update

when there is a signal change

for that channel (On-to-Off

or Off-to-On for digital

channels, or any fractional

change for analog channels).

2. To periodically update the

status of the Active OPC

Server, specify a time

interval after the Update

per checkbox.

NOTE:

1. A Virtual Channel is updated

periodically; the time interval for

updates can be set to seconds,

minutes, hours, or days, with

values ranging from 1 to 65535.

2. If AI is configured to update on

change, the percentage settings

represent the percentage of the full

analog range. For example, if the AI

is configured for 0 to 10 V, on

change 1% means the ioLogik will

update the Active OPC Server every time there is a change of 0.1 V.

3. Expansion modules

added to the system are

displayed in the modules

list. Select a module to

see detailed tags in the

right panel of the browser

window. After selecting

the needed tags click the Create Tags button. The Active OPC server will receive these updated tags the

next time you use Active OPC server.

Refer to the Active OPC Server section for more details about how to use Active OPC server.

ATTENTION

1.

Active OPC Setting should be configured before connecting to the cellular network. If

the settings are

not configured, the ioLogik W5300 won’t connect. When the ioLogik W5300 is in sleep mode, the

heartbeat signal will be disabled.

2.

The RSSI and Internal Registers tags

require firmware version 1.3 or above for the ioLogik W5312

series, and 1.5 or above for the ioLogik W5340 series.

 Operation Modes

 DDNS Settings

 Port Forwarding

Settings

Dial-up Setting

The cellular Access Point Name—or APN—is

a critical field one must configure when

connecting a device to a cellular network.

Check with your cellular service provider for

details. Some cellular connections require

more detailed setups, such as PPP

Authentication, TCP/IP Compression, and

Link Quality Reports, as well.

If you already have a PIN configured for your

SIM card, be careful to enter it correctly because after three failed attempts you will be locked out. To avoid this

problem, the ioLogik W5300 will try to connect to the cellular network one time only. If it fails, then the W5300

will stop trying to connect to the cellular network. You can leave the username, password, and SIM PIN

fields blank for most cases because they are seldom used.

After all information has been configured correctly, click Update. The ioLogik W5300 must reboot in order for

the settings to take effect. Connection information is displayed on the right side of the block, such as Signal

Strength (RSSI), Cellular Status, which includes the device’s IP address for the Cellular Network, and Cellular

Error.

NOTE

Band, PPP authentication, TCP/IP Compression and Link Quality Report are

only supported on the ioLogik

W5340

-HSPA.

Caller IDs

In order to use the the ioLogik

W5300 cellular wake up feature,

you must configure a series of

caller ID settings. This is because,

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-27

when the ioLogik W5300 is in Sleep Mode, it switches to GSM standby; it is only once the ioLogik receives a

phone call from an authorized caller ID that the W5300 hangs up the phone, switches to cellular mode, and

reconnects to the cellular network. After successfully associating with a cellular access point, the device will

forward its new IP address to AOPC server.

Operation Mode

The ioLogik W5300 provides two operation modes to connect to a Cellular network, and a network redundancy

mode (Ethernet WAN: Cellular Backup).

1. Cellular Always ON:

The ioLogik W5300 is connected

to the cellular network at all

times.

2. Cellular On Demand:

This mode allows the ioLogik

W5300 to conserve a very low

power consumption by flipping

into sleep mode whenever there

is no need to transmit information. When in sleep mode, the ioLogik W5300 disables the cellular

connection and stays in GSM standby mode, saving all I/O records in the data log, on the SD card. The

ioLogik W5300 will only wake up when either:

1) it receives an activate message from Click&Go, or

2) it receives a call from an authorized caller ID.

3. Ethernet WAN (Cellular Backup):

The ioLogik W5300 may also be

configured with redundant network

interfaces, so that it uses cellular

networks only as a backup

connection. When this mode is

selected, the primary interface will

be the Ethernet connection, over the

Internet. Should this primary

interface fail, the ioLogik W5300 will

automatically switch to the cellular

interface, and then switch back to

the primary Ethernet interface when

it again becomes available. Note to configure the cellular backup mode, you must specify an IP/URL that the

ioLogik will use to test Internet connectivity. We recommend using either large, established sites like

Google or Yahoo! to configure this test IP/URL, or using the IP/URL of your own central servers.

DDNS Settings

If you are unable to configure your AOPC server

with a static IP address, you can still configure your

network with push commnications for edge I/O. To

do this, you will configure the ioLogik W5300 with a

URL that it can use to register with a dynamic DNS

service. This will first require you to register with a

DDNS service provider, and enter its information

into the DDNS function in the ioLogik W5300.

The purpose of DDNS is to provide the customer

with an alternative cost effective cellular plan. The

customer will not need to establish a server or pay

for a Static IP. Setting up DDNS allows the ioLogik

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-28

W5300 to behave like a server and perform functions such as email, ftp, etc. Regardless of whether the device

has a floating IP or a private IP, the user can establish a connection with their remote device through DDNS.

DDNS allows the SCADA/HMI server to establish a connection through the DDNS server to find the remote

device.

The screenshot at right shows how a

device may be set up to use DHCP to

update a DDNS server. The

screenshot at right gives you an

overview of the configuration

parameters.

• Server address (default=DynDns.org): Currently, DynDns.org is the only option available for Server

address.

• Host name: Enter the name you created on www.dyndns.com in this field. The ioLogik W5300 will

update the DynDNS server with this host name.

• Username: This is the user name used for updating DDNS Server authentication.

• Password: This is the password used for updating DDNS Server authentication.

NOTE

Currently, the ioLogik W

5300

supports DNS service as provided by DynDNS. For detailed information on this

option, please visit

https://www.dyndns.com.

Port Forwarding

The ioLogik W5300 supports

port forwarding on its cellular

and Ethernet interfaces for

WAN-to-LAN communication.

Using port forwarding, the

ioLogik W5300 allows external WAN hosts such as SCADA/HMI systems to connect to specific field devices

within the LAN by linking with the ioLogik W5300.

What are Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)?

Computers that are part of a VPN use a second, “virtual” IP address to connect to the Internet. Instead of

running across a single private network, some of the links between nodes that are part of a VPN use open

network connections or virtual circuits on a larger network, such as the Internet. With the help of VPNs, cellular

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-29

devices acting as a VPN client can initiate a connection with a VPN server. Once the connection is established,

cellular devices can communicate with other network devices on the same private network.

ioLogik IPsec/VPN Specifications

• IPsec is an encryption and authentication protocolfor IP packets

• In the example below, an encrypted VPN connection is established with a remote VPN server

• ioLogik connects to the server in tunnel mode, using the IPsec protocol suite

• The following encryption ciphers and AAA protocols are available using this setup:

 Manual Key/ESP, IKE/PSK

 DES/3DES/AES128/AES192/AES256 encryption

 MD5/SHA1 authentication

 IPsec NAT traversal, Anti-Replay, and PFS (Perfect Forwarding Secrecy).

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-33

Cellular Reconnection

Carriers disconnect idle mobile device connections in order to save bandwidth for other on-line users and

applications. To keep the ioLogik W5300 Always On, the ioLogik W5340 must not only have the capability to

detect the cellular connection and reconnect to the network once it is disconnected, but also needs to send out

signals (ICMP package) to notify carriers that the ioLogik W5340 is still alive.

NOTE

The default setting of the Cellular Reconnection function is

disabled, which prevents it from producing extra

packets. If the Cellular Operation Mode is set to

On-Demand, we recommended NOT activating the Cellular

Reconnection function.

Carrier Check before system restart: Carrier Check settings define the timeout for detecting the physical

cellular connection. Once the ioLogik reaches the timeout, it will perform a system restart.

• GSM Timeout: When you turn on the ioLogik W5300, the device will continue to connect to the GSM for a

period of 60 seconds (the default setting). If it fails to connect, the device will automatically restart the

modem board after sixty seconds.

• GPRS Retry: After the connection between the device and GSM (carrier) has been made. The device will try

to connect with the Internet. After XX time of failed retry, the W5300 will restart the modem board.

The Chart below shows the Carrier Check behavior:

PING Check before system restart: A remote destination is used in this setting to indicate if the Internet

connection is still alive. The user can specify a public IP or URL and the number of retries that are allowed.

• Dest IP/URL: Can either be an AOPC server IP or any public URL for the device to check its connection with

the internet.

• Auto Retry: Will be activated when the AOPC can’t connect with the AOPC server. The W5300 will tell the

machine to ping the Dest IP/URL to check for an Internet connection.

ioLogik W5300 Utility: ioAdmin

3-34

• Continuous Check Until 3 failures: The W5300 continuously check its connection with the IP/URL to

ensure that it is constantly connected to the internet (could incur a high cose, depending on your cellular

plan).

• Network Log: The Network Log records the activity of the cellular connections. Click the Export Log

button to retrieve the log file.

System Reconnect after ____ hours

• If Carrier Check before system restart or PING Check before system restart is selected, the system

will check if there is still a wireless connection.

• If the wireless signal is unstable and disconnects, the ioLogik W5300 will first reboot the modem to restore

the physical layer connection. Enable System Reconnect to reinitiate the W5300. If rebooting the modem

does not recover your connection, the disconnection may be caused by a higher layer communication

problem. You may select a System Reconnect interval from 1 to 24 hours.

Meter/Sensor

OP Mode

The ioLogik W5300 supports four OP modes, Transparent Serial Tunnel (TCP Server and TCP Client),

Modbus TCP <-> Modbus RTU Gateway, and Modbus Serial Tags.

• Transparent Serial Tunnel: Transparent Serial Tunnel mode creates a TCP socket to a remote host

program and transparently sends and receives data to attached legacy serial devices.

• Modbus RTU Gateway: This function allows users to attach a serial Modbus/RTU meter to the ioLogik

W5300’s serial port; in this case, the ioLogik W5300 will act as a Modbus/RTU to Modbus/TCP gateway.

• Modbus Serial Tags: This function allows users to attach a serial Modbus/RTU meter to the ioLogik W5300’s serial port

and create the serial tags in the Active OPC Server so that a SCADA system can access this serial data directly via OPC

connections. In this case, the Modbus/RTU serial devices will appear to be embedded in the ioLogik W5300.

ATTENTION

If

the Serial Tunnel setting is used, Cellular Setting  Operation Mode  Cellular should be set to

“Cellular

Always On.”

Otherwise, the Cellular connection will disconnect and a serial tunnel will not be created.

The Network Statistics Page will help you understand the overall usage of the network.

Watchdog Panel

The Watchdog panel is available after you log in as administrator. When enabled, the Host Connection

Watchdog monitors the network connection. If the connection is lost for the specified Timeout Value, the

watchdog will display a warning and activate the Safe Status settings for each DO channel and event counter

channel. By default, the watchdog is disabled. To enable the watchdog, make sure that Enable Host

Connection Watchdog is checked, set the Timeout Value, and then click Update.

After you restore the network

connection, click Clear Alarm to

reset the Watchdog and return to

normal operation.

Click&Go Logic Panel

The Click&Go Logic panel is

available after logging in as an

administrator. This is where the

ioLogik W5300 is configured.

With a set of rules (known as a

ruleset) defined through

Click&Go, the ioLogik can report

I/O status to a host as soon as

user-defined I/O conditions have

been met. Refer to Chapter 4

for more detailed information

on defining rules.

Changes on the Click&Go Logic panel are not effective until the ioLogik W5300 is restarted, as is true with

changes made on other panels. After logging back in as administrator and returning to the Click&Go Logic panel,

click Download to view the current ruleset. Click Run to activate the ruleset and Stop to deactivate it.

NOTE

Refer to the

following website to learn more about Click&Go: http://www.moxa.com/remote_io/ClicknGo.htm

Overview

The ioLogik W5300 series system eliminates the need for host computers to continually poll I/O devices for

their status. Instead, the server itself is able to monitor the status of each I/O device and take the appropriate

action when the I/O status satisfies a user-defined condition. For example, the ioLogik could be configured to

send a TCP/UDP message only when the switch attached to DI-0 is turned on. This event-based structure

results in a much improved response time and a much reduced load on the host computer’s CPU and network

bandwidth.

The ioLogik W5300 supports Moxa’s Click&Go Logic. With Click&Go Logic, you can easily and intuitively

configure when and how I/O information is transmitted over the network. Simple IF-Then-Else statements

are used to specify conditions that are required for certain actions to take place. Up to three conditions and

three actions can be combined in a rule, and you can define up to 24 rules. Supported actions include sending

SNMP traps or TCP/UDP messages to up to 10 hosts at a time.

or above.

Click&Go Logic Basics

To use Click&Go Logic, start ioAdmin and log on as an ioLogik administrator on the Server Settings panel. Once

you are logged on, go to the Click&Go Logic panel. It should appear as below:

Click&Go Logic Panel

1. Global Variable: In this field, you can assign a Global Variable for the set of rules.

2. Logic Name: In this field, you can assign a name for the set of rules.

3. Rules List: In this area, each rule’s conditions, actions, and status are displayed.

4. Ruleset Management Bar: In this area, you manage the ruleset.

ioLogik W5300 Click&Go Logic

4-4

Working with the Rules

Rules are the building blocks of your

ioLogik W5300. With rules, you define the

exact trigger conditions for transmission

of I/O information as well as the content

and destination of that information. A

DO’s reaction can also be automated

through DI trigger conditions.

In the main screen, you will see a list of

the rules in the current rule set. Double

click on a rule to open that rule’s

configuration window, or double click on

an empty rule to start a new rule.

The Equivalent Logic Statement at the

bottom shows a real-time text-based

summary of the rule that you are defining, and provides a useful means of making sure that the rule is designed

as you intended.

ATTENTION

When configuring input and output control and response values,

you must select the unit of

measurement before entering a value

. If you select a unit of measurement after entering a value, the

value will not be retained. In addition, when an I/O channel is being used in a Click&Go Logic rule, the

channel’s range and units cannot be modified.

Click&Go Development Process

After searching and setting up the IP address of an ioLogik Ethernet I/O server, Click&Go logic can be

developed by following the procedures below:

I/O Configuration

ioLogik products are embedded with various types of I/O channels, and the mode of each input/output channel

must be configured before using the channels. Channels are divided into five categories: digital inputs, digital

outputs, analog inputs, analog outputs, and virtual channels.

Configurable DIO Channel Mode Selection

For models that support the configurable DIO channels, configure the specific DIO to DI or DO to meet the

requirements.

configured to act as either a DI or DO channel, according to the Power On Settings. To switch between DI and

DO channel operation, select the

desired mode in the I/O Direction

field under Power On Settings.

After clicking Apply, you will need to

restart the ioLogik for the new

setting to take effect.

ATTENTION

Switch

ing between DI and DO channel requires

restarting the ioLogik for the new setting to take effect. You

must restart the ioLogik b

efore proceeding with configuration or programming.

Digital Input Mode Selection

A DI channel can be set to DI or Event Counter mode. In DI mode, the channel connects to wet/dry contacts.

In Event Counter mode, the channel accepts limit or proximity switches and counts events according to the

ON/OFF status. When Lo to Hi is selected, the counter value increases when the attached switch is pushed.

When Hi to Lo is selected, the counter value increases when the switch is pushed and released.

Alias Configuration

Alias Name helps users configure the alias

of a DI or DO channels and define the logic

level (0 or 1) for the ON/OFF status. The

Alias can be monitored by the ioAdmin utility,

or queried by using a user-defined program

based on the Moxa MXIO library or standard

Modbus/TCP protocols.

For Click&Go programming, the Alias Name

will display the user-defined name when the

specified channel is selected. For example,

although the fist DI channel is represented

by DI-0 in Click&Go, you can change the

Alias Name to Door_0 for easier recognition

when programming.

When logged in as administrator, double

click on a channel on the I/O

Configuration panel to configure that channel’s settings. A window will open with configuration options for

that channel. The Alias name of each input/output channel can be configured by selecting the Alias Name

panel.

ATTENTION

We st

rongly recommend configuring the alias name for the I/O channel being used before performing any

further configuration or programming.

Testing the I/O Channels

Each I/O channel can be tested and monitored individually. When logged in as administrator, double click on a

channel from the I/O Configuration panel to configure that channel’s settings. A window will open with

configuration options for the channel. Tests can be done by opening the channel’s configuration window and

selecting the Test panel.

The Test panel shows how a channel’s status affects, or is affected by, the attached device. For output channels,

you can set the on/off status, start and stop a pulse, or output a voltage or current. For input channels, you can

monitor the attached device’s on/off status, counter, or input voltage/current.

Defining Global Variables

Global Variables include

Internal Register

Settings, Timer Settings,

SNMP Trap Server, E-Mail

Server, Active Message

Server and SMS Phone

Book. If these functions will

be used in a Click&Go V2

rule-set, the default

configuration must first be

set from the Global Variable

Menu Bar.

The following global

variables are only supported

by the ioLogik W5300:

SMS Phone Book,

Working/Off Working Day, FTP, Data Logging Profile List, and Internal Register (Float).

Internal Register (Integer) Settings

Internal Register (Integer) is a flag that can be used with the Click&Go logic internally or externally. The 24

sets of internal registers can be polled and controlled by SCADA software using standard Modbus/TCP format,

or implemented to redirect the result of one Click&Go logic to another.

The default value of an internal register is “0”.

Timer Settings

The Timer function allows users to delay an action, trigger an action to run, or repeat an action. A timer is

activated by a change of the logic event. After the timed interval has expired, the output will be performed.

The 24 timers that can be implemented with Click&Go V2 logic have the default time interval set to “5 seconds”

in the “STOP” state. Be sure to configure the interval before using a timer.

With the default state set to “START” the timer will start when the Click&Go logic is activated.

SNMP Trap Server

The ioLogik W5300 supports SNMP v2 (Simple

Network Management Protocol) to allow

monitoring of the network and I/O devices with

SNMP Network Management software. It is

useful for building automation and telecom

applications. Before monitoring the system

information of an ioLogik via SNMP trap, first

define a rule in Click &Go logic to update the

I/O status (up to 10 SNMP trap servers can be

defined).

E-Mail Server

The E-mail Server

configures the parameters of

the target e-mail servers and

the recipient e-mail addresses.

The Recipient Database

should contain a list of

available e-mail addresses for

your network environment.

The e-mail message defined

in the Click&Go logic will be

sent to all addresses listed in

the Receiver(s) list. To add

e-mail addresses to the

Available receiver(s) list,

enter the Name and Mail

Address and click the Add

finger icon to move addresses

to the Recipient Database;

use the Remove finger icon

to remove it.

Under Mail Server Settings, you must configure the address of the SMTP server with your username and

password. When using an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) address, such as ms.moxa.com, you must

specify the ioLogik’s DNS settings or check the Cellular Settings to see if the DNS settings were retrieved by the

cellular connection.

Active Message Server

The Active Message Server

configures one or more

destination IP addresses of the

Message Servers that receive

event messages generated by

the Click&Go logic. The message

protocol (TCP or UDP) and the

message socket port must also

be configured.

The active message defined in

the Click&Go logic will be sent to

all addresses listed in the

Message Recipient List.

Message Port(TCP/UDP):

The Port the computer uses to communicate with the device; the default port for TCP/UDP is 9000

SMS Phone Book

The SMS Phone Book configures one or more

destination phone numbers that will receive SMS (Short

Message Servers) event messages generated by the

Click&Go logic. The SMS defined in the Click&Go logic will

be sent to all mobile phones listed in the Phone Book. A

total of 20 receivers can be configured in the phonebook.

Working with Logic

Click&Go Logic Basics

The Click&Go Logic panel is available after logging in as administrator. This is where Click&Go logic is

configured. With a set of rules (known as a rule-set) defined through Click&Go, the ioLogik can perform local

and remote I/O control, report I/O status, and actively send out messages, e-mails, or SNMP traps to a host as

soon as the user-defined I/O conditions have been met.

To use Click&Go Logic, start ioAdmin and log in as ioLogik administrator from the Server Settings panel. Once

you are logged in, go to the Click&Go Logic panel. The following screen should appear:

Click&Go Logic Panel

1. Global Variable: In this field, you can configure global variable rules.

2. Logic Name: In this field, you can assign a name to the set of rules.

3. Rule-set: In this area, each rule’s conditions, actions, and status are displayed.

4. Rule-set Management Bar: In this area, you manage the rule-set.

Rules are the building blocks of your ioLogik system. With rules, you define the exact trigger conditions for

transmission of I/O information as well as the content and destination of that information.

Click&Go Logic can be defined in the following ways:

ioLogik W5300 Click&Go Logic

4-16

IF “A” THEN “B”, ELSE “C”

For one control logic rule, there are three “A’s” that can be configured. “A” refers to the IF conditions that

trigger an action. These three conditions can be operated by “AND” or “OR” logic. If “AND” logic is used, all

three conditions must be true to create a positive result. If “OR” logic is used, one or more true conditions must

be met to trigger the action.

The 24 rules are defined individually and are executed one by one in a loop. The 2nd rule can only be processed

after running the 1

st

rule, and the entire rule-set will start running from the beginning after the last rule is

processed.

You will see a list of the rules in the current rule-set on the main screen. Double Click on a rule to open that

rule’s configuration window, as shown in the following figure, or double click on an empty rule to start a new

rule.

4-17

Under Relation between conditions, select AND to specify that all conditions must be satisfied for the

actions to take place; select OR to specify that any one of the conditions can be satisfied for the actions to take

place. The Equivalent Logic Statement at the bottom shows a real-time text-based summary of the rule that

you are defining. It provides a useful way to make sure the rule is designed as you intended.

IF…THEN/ELSE Conditionals

IF statements are trigger THEN/ELSE actions. Under the IF column, you can set up to 3 conditions that must

be satisfied (when more than one condition is defined, AND or OR determinants are used to complete the logic),

and which will, according to the inputs, determine whether actions under the THEN or ELSE column will take

effect. For example, an alarm can be activated when a door is opened. Use the pull downs to specify the

conditions and units of measurement (e.g., DI-0=OFF).

IF conditions may be defined as follows:

IF Conditions Operators Remark

DI ON, OFF, ON to OFF, OFF to ON, Change DI-x represents the channel number

Counter =, >, <, >=, <=, Change Counter-x represents the channel number.

Max Counter Value: 4,294,967,295

NOTE

The following IF Conditions are only supported

by the ioLogik W5300: Expansion Module Connection

Failure

, Virtual Channel, and System Start-up.

DI: Digital Input

DI refers to the status of a

digital input channel. Edge

detection may be used to

further define the electrical

requirements for signaling. For

example, the condition

DI-0=OFF is satisfied for as

long as DI-0 remains off. The

condition DI-0=ON to OFF,

however, is only satisfied the

instant the DI-0 turns off. The

transition of the status change

can also be handled using the

Change operator, so that actions are triggered both for ON-to-OFF and OFF-to-ON transitions.

Scroll to select DI and click on the property ( ) button to enter the DI Settings window.

Counter

Counter refers to the counts of an Event Counter channel. The counts are stored in the ioLogik internally.

Specifying the counts with a

proper operator will lead to

triggering the action. For

example, if 10 items should be

packed in a box, the Counter-x

should be reset every 10

counts (Counter-1=10).

Select the IF condition to

Counter and click on the

property button ( ) to

enter the Counter Settings

window.

AI: Analog Input

AI refers to the readings of

an analog input channel. An

analog input value is specified

to trigger an action. Units of

the value are defined by the

selected analog modes

(voltage or current), or the

scaling results. For example,

AI-0 > 15 mA represents

the high level of a water tank.

ioLogik W5300 Click&Go Logic

4-19

Virtual Channel

VC refers to the readings of a statistics channel.

The value can be recorded in the data log file, or

specified to trigger an action. Units for the value

are determined by the user defined unit, or the

scaling results. For example, VC-0 > 15 ml/s

represents a water flow amount greater than 15

ml/s.

Relay (Counter)

Relay refers to the current

counts of the relay usage.

Checking the current counts of a

relay will produce the action. For

example, if the average

life-cycle of a relay is 25,000

times, an alarm e-mail may be

generated when the counter

reaches 20,000 times

(CurRelayCNT-0 > 20000) to

report the need for a

replacement.

Internal Register (Integer)

Internal Register (Integer)

represents a status flag to link

the status of the first logic to

the second one. It is used most

often with the Timer function,

or to combine other input

statuses together. The Internal

Register function also allows a

PC to control the ioLogik’s local

output when the remote output

is controlled by a Click&Go log

(e.g., digital output, active

message, e-mail, or SNMP

Trap). Select the IF condition

for the Internal Register and

click on the property button

( ) to enter the Set

Internal Register window.

In the above figure, the “Used in:” column indicates that this Internal Register is also used with Rule-0, which

helps the user identify the relationship between the rules. Also, the Set Internal Register button ( ) will help
to define the default values of all Internal Registers.

NOTE

Internal Registers can be controlled by Modbus/TCP protocol. Refer to the

appendix f

or the address list for all

Internal Registers.

ioLogik W5300 Click&Go Logic

4-20

Timer

The Timer function can be used to control the timing of a logic rule in the IF conditions. “TIMEOUT” is the only

operator here. For example, you can delay the triggering of an action or repeat an action periodically. Select the

IF condition for Timer and click on the property button ( ) to enter the Timer Settings window.

In the above figure, the “Used in:” column indicates this Timer is also used in Rule-0, which helps the user

indentify the relationship between rules. In addition, the Set Timer button ( ) will help define the default

value for the Timer.

Schedule

The Schedule function allows users to set a starting point or time period for a task. For example, the Schedule

function could be used if a pump needs to start at 9:00 PM and stop at 11:00 PM every Monday, Wednesday,

and Friday.

Select the IF condition for Schedule and click on the property button ( ) to enter the setting window. For

recurrent actions, select the Recurrence checkbox and select the relevant weekdays. If a time period needs to

be defined, specify the stop date in the range column.

ioLogik W5300 Click&Go Logic

4-21

Expansion Module Connection Fail

The slot you select in the Expansion Module Connection Fail

window will monitor while Click&Go is running. The monitored

target is specified for these expansion modules.

System Start-up

Click&Go logic provides the IF condition to perform an action,

such as triggering the local output or SMS alarm to indicate

that the system is restarting.

More Information about Repeat Interval vs. Edge Detection

Combining the Timer function with other IF conditions allows actions to be repeated when the specified logic is

sustained over a period of time. However, if a condition is based on edge detection (i.e., ON to OFF or OFF to

ON), it can only be triggered once.

The following scenarios illustrate how edge detection affects the Timer = N sec. In each diagram, the statuses

of three sensors are shown over a period of time, with a high signal corresponding to a “true” condition. The

green shaded area shows the duration of time that the IF conditions have been met.

No Edge Detection

In this scenario, the rule checks each sensor for “on” status, so edge detection is not involv

ed. As long as the

sensors remain on, the required conditions are satisfied, and the THEN actions will repeat at interval N.

DI-1 = ON

Edge Detection for All Conditions

In this scenario, the rule checks each sensor for a change from “off” to “on” status, meaning only edge

detection conditions are used. As soon as a sensor changes from “off” to “on”, the condition is satisfied, but

only for that instant. Right after that instant, the condition is no longer satisfied because it is no longer

changing from “off” to “on”. The repeat interval will have no effect, since edge conditions cannot be sustained

over a period of time.

Edge Detection for Two Conditions

In this scenario, the rule checks DI-0 and DI-1 for a change in status and DI-2 for status only. The repeat

interval will not have an effect if the AND relationship is used, because the two edge conditions can never be

sustained over a length of time. With the OR relationship, the IF conditions will be satisfied as long as DI-

2 is

“on”, and the THEN actions will be triggered over interval N.

be sustained over a length of time. With the OR relationship, the IF conditions will be satisfied as long as DI-

Do not use the reset button, since doing so will load all factory defaults and erase your rule-set from

memory.

3. After the ioLogik has been restarted, the rule-set must be activated. Log in to ioAdmin as administrator, go

to the Click&Go Logic panel and click Run in the Rule-set Management bar. The rules in the rule-set will now

be active.

When the rule-set has been activated, it will remain active even when the ioLogik is disconnected from the host

computer or from the network. If the ioLogik is turned off, cellular I/O operations will resume when it is turned

back on, allowing you to use the ioLogik W5300 for PC-independent automation.

Known Issues of Cellular Monitoring Systems

Cellular technology is well-suited for remote monitoring and alarm systems that cover a wide area, such as

pipeline monitoring of public water supplies or natural gas systems. Using cellular technology to implement a

remote monitoring system can save development, deployment, and maintenance time.

However, problems such as dynamic IPs, low bandwidth, and unexpected disconnections must be overcome for

the cellular monitoring system to achieve greater stability.

Known Issue 1: Dynamic or Private IP over a Cellular Network

Although cellular technology can make device communication easier, cellular networks were not designed for

industrial devices, but for mobile phones. Since mobile phones only need a temporary IP to connect to the

Internet, cell phones get a different temporary IP each time the mobile phone accesses the Internet. This is

referred to as the Dynamic IP issue. Most telecom service providers assign temporary IPs when a mobile phone

requests access to the Internet. A remote monitoring system using a cellular communications ioLogik W5300

should request a permanent IP to ensure stable bidirectional communications. For this reason, you may need

to apply for a special data plan from the service providers or the mobile virtual network providers (MVNOs).

As opposed to using the so-called “pull” or “passive” architecture, Moxa’s ioLogik W5300 utilizes active edge

communications, which works with the powerful cellular device management middleware, Active OPC Server.

Active OPC Server runs on a central network computer that uses a static IP. Even if the cellular I/O

units work in a dynamic or private IP environment with a general data plan that is for a mobile phone, since the

ioLogik W5300 contacts the Active OPC Server (and not the other way around), once a connection is

established the two sides of the connection can proceed with bi-directional communication. In addition, the

built-in front-end intelligence called Click&Go control logic enables the ioLogik to report its I/O status, and send

alarms and log data actively. Centralized software such as a SCADA system is now able to leverage this

technology by connecting the Active OPC Server using Modbus/TCP or OPC Client Drivers instead of connecting

to the remote ioLogik's IP address directly.

Known Issue 2: Low Bandwidth and slow response time

Cellular networks provide only low bandwidth transmission compared with wired CAT-5 Ethernet networks.

Generally speaking, the response time of the GPRS network is about 4 to 10 seconds, and 1 to 3 seconds for

3G/HSPA networks.

This means that the latency of data for one round trip is much slower than a millisecond level Ethernet network,

resulting in system overload or shutdown when a large number of remote sites and large amount of information

need to be exchanged. A better approach is to use an “active” architecture such as the ioLogik, and the Active

OPC Server to reduce traffic and improve response time and decrease the use of the bandwidth.

Another factor that could cause unexpected disconnection is the cellular signal strength. In some places,

several communication channels could exist simultaneously, with each device accessing a different channel and

using a different signal strength. This kind of random signal strength could result in unexpected disconnection.

SMS (short messages) will not respond in time as expected, especially when using a data plan that is only for

data transmission or at specific times, such the end of the year, when traffic volume is much higher.

Known Issue 3: Unexpected Disconnection from Cellular Networks (Carriers)

Although cellular network transmissions are charged by number of packets and not connection time, most

vendors still refer to their service as “Always On.” However, a better description might be “always accessible”

since in reality, cellular carriers optimize their IP resources, time slots, and the base station capacity by

disconnecting connections that have been idle for a certain period of time. During this period, the mobile

devices will not be aware of the disconnection, and this lapse in the actual connection could introduce a certain

amount of unreliability in your remote monitoring and alarm system. If using “Always On” to keep your

connection alive is not stable enough for your purposes, you must configure additional “Cellular Reconnection”

settings to prevent being kicked off the network accidentally or without notification. See Chapter 4 for detailed

settings.

Known Issue 4: Large Power Consumption when Attached to Base Stations

There will be a peak power usage when attaching to base stations (900 mA @ 12 VDC). Although the ioLogik

uses a low amount of power during normal usage (3-4 watts), we still recommend using a power supply that

is greater than 5 watts.

Active OPC Server with a Static IP Address

Configuring an ioLogik W5300 for use with an Active OPC host using a static IP address will ensure that the

ioLogik W5300 works properly in any of the following environments:

1. Virtual Private Network

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that groups all related devices into one network, but users need

to purchase cellular on-line services and apply for VPN membership. When the Cellular device dials up, it

will get a private static IP assigned by the telecom service provider (Carrier or MVNO). The private IP is on

the same network segment as the host. The host and devices can communicate bi-directionally using a

polling architecture. Most telecom service providers will not offer small volume service packages to

enterprise clients. A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a company that provides cellular services

but does not have its own licensed frequency allocation of the radio spectrum, and does not necessarily

have the infrastructure needed to provide mobile telephone services. An MVNO subscribes to several

cellular services and then rents the services out to customers who only need a small quantity of IP service.

Normally, the MVNO also builds up a VPN server to separate their groups, and in effect provide the same

services provided by a VPN.

2. Network with Public Static IP Devices

A Public Static IP can be accessed anywhere and anytime, such as over the Internet. Although most carriers

use private dynamic IPs for mobile phones, some carriers will provide Public Static IPs for specific

applications. The downside of Public Static IP service is that it comes at a much higher price. Some telecom

service providers can assign a fixed IP to one specific SIM card. While all I/O devices have their own fixed

IP address, the entire system will run as a traditional monitoring system with physical wires. This solution

has the benefit exhibiting the same behavior as a wired solution. However, not all telecom service providers

offer this kind of service, and those that do offer it at a relatively high cost.

3. New Cellular Network with Active Architecture

A new type of cellular network based on push technology is now available. This type of service requires a

host PC with a public static IP, allowing all remote cellular devices to connect to the host PC, regardless of

whether or not the device has a public or private IP. The Active OPC Server software running on a PC with

a static IP is required to update the devices’ IP and the fixed device name. After connecting to the cellular

network, all operations can follow the original infrastructure of the mobile phone provider. Moxa’s ioLogik

W5000 series cellular remote I/O units are based on push technology with Active OPC Server. Active OPC

Server, which runs on a PC with static IP, will receive and register the device’s IP and create a connection

while the ioLogik W5300 is on line. Once the connection has been created, bi-directional communication can

ensue. The built-in front-end intelligence, Click&Go logic, enables the ioLogik to report its I/O status, alarms,

and log data actively.

NOTE

If the Active OPC Server is installed in the DMZ or even the LAN, be sure to configure the router or firewall

settings to allow and redirect those necessary TCP

ports such 9300, 9900, 9500,

and 502 for remote access

from the io

Logik W5300. See Appendix F for details.

Cellular Remote I/O Architecture

The following diagram illustrates the overall architecture of the ioLogik 5300 series cellular remote I/O device.

The ioLogik 5300 supports remote monitoring, and you can configure the machine via ioAdmin and connect to

a SCADA system through an OPC client/server or Modbus/TCP. You can push datalog files to the FTP server,

and connect field serial devices through a serial tunnel. In addition, the ioLogik W5300 supports event alarms

by email, SNMP Trap, and SMS.

In the following sections, we illustrate how to set up an environment for the ioLogik W5300.

Using ioAdmin to Perform Simple Data
Monitoring from a Remote Site

Scenario: Users would like to check the I/O status at the central site. The ioAdmin monitoring and

configuration utility will be used to monitor the remote site I/O status. The related network structure and

Expanding Input/Output Channels

Scenario: A monitoring system for a pumping station does not have enough I/O channels, and the user would

like to add more I/O channels to meet system requirements. In addition to the existing 4 AIs, 8 DIOs, and 2

Relay Outputs, they are using the ioLogik E1210 and E1211 to add an additional 16 DIs and 16 DOs.

Implementation:

Step 1: Connect to the ioLogik E1210 and E1211 and start the Web Consoles for these two products.

Step 2: Configure and

export the

configuration files of

these two models. The

file names will be

ik1210.txt and

ik1211.txt.

Step 3: Use Ethernet

cables to daisy-chain

the W5340, E1210, and

E1211, and connect to

the host PC through the

E1211’s Ethernet port.
