Zlinx I/O Configuration software is used to configure Zlinx Wireless I/O hardware. Using Zlinx I/O Configuration, the system
can be configured to operate in Peer-to-Peer (wire-replacement) or Modbus modes receiving Modbus commands and data
from a Modbus wireless modem. Digital Inputs can be configured to operate in Discrete (on/off) or Counter modes, and
Analog Inputs and Outputs are configurable for voltage or current loop operation.
5.1 Configuring Zlinx Wireless I/O
To enable the features described below (except Monitor):
1. Start Zlinx Manager.
2. Choose Zlinx I/O Configuration (See Section 4.5 for more details).
3. The features are enabled and parameters for them are set in Configuration tab.
Zlinx Wireless I/O modules can be configured to operate as wireless Modbus nodes or as wire replacement links in Peer-to-
Peer mode. Wireless configuration options are the same for either mode.
5.1.1 Wireless Settings
Zlinx Wireless I/O Base Modules can be configured for operation with different transmitter output power. They can also be
configured to operate on several different radio channels. This allows multiple Zlinx Wireless I/O systems to operate in the
same area without interference. The number of different systems can be further increased by configuring a unique Network
Identifier (which selects the frequency hopping sequence). Base Modules also can be used as repeaters, to extend the range
of a system. Over-the-air (OTA) data rated can also be adjusted to increase range. A lower OTA data rate will increase the
effective range of the radio, but will also increase the total throughput time.
