ioLogik W5300 The ioAdmin Utility

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.
