INTRODUCTION
This publication describes installation of the Siemens Wireless
Process Solution (WiPS) 200 Series Two-Way Multipoint-To-Point
Radios and I/O Expansion Modules. Radios (i.e. transceivers)
I/O modules are used to construct a WiPS wireless network for the
gathering and distribution of process related analog, digital, and
pulse/frequency data. Table 1, on the next page, identifies each
WiPS 200 Series model. The table also provides a description of
each item and an order/part number. Shown at right are a
transceiver, the right-most module, and five I/O modules mounted
on a section of DIN rail.
A WiPS wireless network is built using a selection of transceivers,
I/O Expansion modules, and accessories, such as antennas, antenna
cables, and power supplies. Transceivers perform two-way wireless
communications. They also have I/O capability with one analog
input channel, one analog output channel, two digital input channels, and two digital output channels. I/O Expansion
modules perform the bulk of the process data gathering and distribution. A selection of modules is available to
accommodate analog, digital, and pulse/frequency data. Antenna selections include a wide range of omnidirectional
and Yagi directional models. These antennas can be paired with low loss antenna cable to further improve
transmitted signal strength allowing communication over longer distances. Siemens Logo power supplies are
available to power transceivers and I/O Expansion modules. Other accessories include surge voltage protection
adapters and cable connector adapters.

and
Transceiver with 1/4-Wave Antenna Typical I/O Expansion Module Siemens Logo Power Supplies
Two types of transceivers are provided: Master and Remote (i.e. Slave
2
). The master transceiver is installed at a
central data collection and processing location, such as a control room. Remote transceivers are installed near field
devices, such as transmitters, counters, motors, fans, conveyer belts, stirrers, and annunciators. Each wireless
network must have one master transceiver and at least one remote transceiver. Up to eight remote transceivers can
be installed on a network allowing access to widely distributed field devices.
Table 1 lists the seven types of WiPS I/O Expansion modules and their model and order numbers. I/O Expansion
modules are added to the wireless network’s Master and Remote transceivers in complementary pairs. Up to eight
I/O Expansion modules of any combination can be connected to a Master transceiver. Eight complementary I/O
Expansion modules can then be connected to up to eight remote transceivers. Thus a total of sixteen modules can be
connected to your WiPS wireless network. As mentioned above, I/O Expansion modules are added to the network in
complementary pairs:
• An input module at the Master transceiver must be complemented by an output module of the same type at a
remote transceiver.
• An output module at the Master transceiver must be complemented by an input module of the same type at a
remote transceiver.
The network can accommodate a maximum of 32 analog signals or 64 digital signals or 16 pulse signals or a
combination of analog, digital, and pulse signals (total of inputs or outputs, not the sum of input and outputs).

IGWiPS200-1
Each transceiver and each I/O Expansion module has bus connectors on both sides of its cover: a male connector on
one side, a female connector on the other. A transceiver and several I/O Expansion modules can be physically
interconnected by way of their bus connectors and then snapped onto a section of DIN rail as a single unit. These
bus connectors carry signal, power, and ground connections between the interconnected devices.
An easy to use wireless network Configurator is available at the Siemens Internet site to help you select remote
transceivers and I/O expansion modules. A master transceiver and one remote transceiver are the configuration
starting point. When adding an I/O module to a remote transducer, the complementary module is automatically
added to the master transceiver. For example, adding an 8-Channel Digital Input Module to a remote transceiver will
cause an 8-Channel Digital Output Module to be automatically added to the master transceiver. The online
Configurator totals the number of I/O Expansion modules and displays a warning if the maximum quantity is
exceeded.

Siemens Logo power supply is part number 6EP13311SH02.
All 200 Series transceivers and I/O Expansion module have bus connectors for distribution of power and data.
A WiPS Series 200 transceiver is a frequency hopping spread spectrum radio designed for professional installation
and integration with other products. When installed with an approved antenna and cable, the system integrator needs
to make sure that the unit’s FCC label is clearly visible on the outside of the integrated product. WiPS is approved
within the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band under 47CFR15.247 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
Frequency hopping spread spectrum technology was originally developed by the U.S. military to prevent
interference or interception of radio transmissions on the battlefield. Frequency hopping devices concentrate their
full power into a very narrow signal and randomly hop from one frequency to another within a designated frequency
band. If they encounter interference on a particular frequency, the devices error-check the affected data, hop to
another point on the spectrum, and resume communications on subsequent hops. Since there are always spaces
without interference somewhere in the allotted radio spectrum, a frequency hopping device will use those spaces to
complete a transmission.
IMPORTANT
Save this Installation Guide and have it available when installing the above products.

INSTALLATION
This section provides installation procedures for a WiPS 200 Series wireless network. A wireless network contains a
master transceiver and up to eight remote (i.e. slave) transceivers. I/O Expansion modules provide the network with
additional analog, digital, and pulse I/O capacity. Transceivers and I/O modules are mounted on user-supplied DIN
rail by the installer. Accessories include antennas (omnidirectional and directional as needed), low-loss antenna
cables, connector adapters, voltage transient suppression adapters, and power supplies.
A sample installation is shown in Figure 1. It shows a DIN-rail mounted transceiver and two I/O modules located in
a NEMA 4X rated enclosure. Note the use of a single-point ground system to prevent undesired ground loop
currents. Installation of user-supplied DIN rail and transceiver and I/O modules is discussed later in this section.
The highly directional Yagi antenna, shown below, is used when data transmission over longer distances is
necessary. An omnidirectional whip antenna is used for shorter distances and when a circular radiation pattern is
desired, often due to the wide physical distribution of remote transceivers. Regardless of antenna type, a surge
arrestor is highly recommended, particularly in out-of-doors installations, to protect the connected transceiver from
very large voltages induced by lightning strikes and other electromagnetic events.
