IP30 housing with LED indicators make the AWK-3121 a convenient yet reliable solution for any industrial wireless application. Package Checklist Moxa’s AWK-3121 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged, please contact your customer service representative for assistance.
The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the AWK-3121 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-3121, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 2: Mounting the AWK-3121 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the AWK-3121 device, with wall-mounting plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less...
Before connecting the AWK to the DC power inputs, make sure that the DC power source voltage is stable. Grounding the Moxa AWK-3121 Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
Installations with Unstable Power Inputs There are cases where the device has to be wired to the same power source as other equipment. In such cases if equipment such as motors that are connected in the circuit draw a large amount of current during operation, the transient voltage drop could potentially cause the AWK to become unstable.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-3121’s top panel are used for the AWK-3121’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown here.
The AWK-3121 has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the front panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect the Moxa AWK-3121’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program to access the AWK-3121 for console configuration.
Console Pinouts for 10-pin or 8-pin RJ45 10-Pin Description 8-Pin – – NOTE 1. The pin numbers for the DB9 and DB25 male connectors, and hole numbers for the DB9 and DB25 female connectors are labeled on the connector strip. However, the numbers are typically quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying glass to see the numbers clearly.
LED Indicators The front panel of the Moxa AWK-3121 contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description Front Panel LED Indicators (System) Power is being supplied from power input 1.
