are only used for simple radio tests such as “RSSI Measurement” or “Tone Reversals”. The
online diagnostics provide more powerful debugging features such as access to the internal I/O
Registers and Radio Communications Monitoring while the module is running (i.e. online).
When the configured protocol driver uses the shared RS232/485 port (i.e. Modbus, DF1, or
Serial Driver), the online diagnostics must disable the serial protocol driver since the same serial
port must be made available for diagnostics. However, the diagnostics still has full access to the
radio network. For all other protocol drivers (Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus Plus, and DeviceNet),
the serial port is already free and therefore online diagnostics can be used while the module is
fully operational.
The module diagnostics
can be accessed via any
‘terminal’ package (i.e.
hyperterminal, procom),
or via configuration
software using the
terminal available in the
“Diagnostics” section.
First, ensure that the WI-
GTWY-9-xxx is
connected to the PC using
the RS232 configuration
cable, and that the
corresponding com port is selected. To access the terminal, select the WI-GTWY-9-xxx and
press “Diagnostics”. Press the “terminal” button in the diagnostics window to open the terminal.
6.2.1 Offline Diagnostics:
The offline diagnostics menu disables the radio protocol driver and the fieldbus protocol driver.
Before displaying the offline debug menu open and start the “terminal” window in configuration
software (see above), or use any third party terminal package.
To display the offline diagnostics menu:
