Requirements: The following hardware and software was used in the development of this procedure • Wireless Module – 2901540 - RAD-900-IFS (Quantity 3) • Antenna - 2885676 - RAD-ISM-900-ANT-OMNI-RPSMA (Quantity 3) • Communication Gateway – 2702764 - GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/1DB9 (Quantity 3) •...
Procedure Configuring the RAD-900-IFS wireless modules for serial communication 1. Set the yellow thumbwheels of the three RAD-900-IFS modules to 01, 02 and 03 and reference the data sheet (www.phoenixcontact.com/catalog/2901540) for power connections. Apply power to all three wireless modules.
Reference the data sheet for power connections and apply power to all three gateways. 2. For the GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/DB9 that will be connected to the master RAD-900-IFS wireless module (yellow thumbwheel 01), there is no configuration needed. The default settings of the GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/DB9 are compatible with the settings made on the master RAD-900-IFS.

6. Next, navigate to the ‘Modbus Settings’ tab and then to the ‘Remote Modbus Addressing’ tab. Since the communication coming from the RAD-900-IFS wireless module is Modbus RTU and has no IP detail, we need to map the Modbus RTU serial data to the correct IP address. In this setup, we will be linking a Modbus RTU packet destined for Modbus ID 12 to Modbus TCP device 192.168.254.12 so any packet with Modbus ID 12...

7. Connect a standard straight through RJ45 Ethernet cable from your computer to the LAN port of the GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/DB9 that will be connected to the RAD-900-IFS module with yellow thumbwheel address 03. Open an Internet browser and navigate to the webpage by typing in 192.168.254.254 in the address bar.

1. Connect a Straight through RS232 cable from GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/DB9 with IP address 192.168.254.2 to RAD-900-IFS with yellow thumbwheel of ‘02’. 2. Connect a RJ45 cable from computer to GW MODBUS TCP/RTU 1E/DB9 with IP address 192.168.254.2 to the IL ETH BK DI8 DO4 2TX-PAC configured with IP address 192.168.254.12...
