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).

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.
