Page 7: Installation
This version was designed for installation in an electrical box made of PVC or metal. If the box is made of insulating material (PVC, ABS, fibreglass), you can also simply use a small ½ wave whip antenna: Ref. ATIM ANT868-12FSC. This antenna must be firmly screwed onto the SMA connector and positioned vertically, preferably pointing upward. -

(ref. ATIM ANT868-12FSC) or an external antenna — ¼ wave (ref. ATIM ANT868- 14S4.0) with a metallic ground plane or ½ wave (ref. ATIM ANT868-12S3.8) — or a roof antenna with a low-loss cable (ref. ATIM ANT868-BZ or ANT868-08). -
Page 9: Interpreting The Indicator Lights
d. Interpreting the indicator lights The indicator lights are used to display the state of operation of the DINRSM. In general, a green light indicates correct operation, while a light indicates an error.

- Page 11 To ensure compliance with radio standards, it is essential that you select an appropriate interval time for the number of radio frames that will be broadcast. This comes to 15 radio frames for LoRaWAN and 6 radio frames for Sigfox every hour. Modbus timeout: During Modbus communication, if a slave does not respond during the specified time, an error will be reported.
- Page 12 Therefore, you must configure the following parameters: Modbus function code The following function codes are available: Function code Name 0x01 Read Coils 0x02 Read Discrete Inputs 0x03 Read Holding Registers 0x04 Read Input Registers Concatenation with previous frame This parameter provides the option to not create a new radio frame and to include the result of the Modbus frame with the result of the previous Modbus/radio frame.

Page 13: Configuration Via Usb
V4.5.9 or later Download and install the configuration tool ‘setupACW.exe’ at: http://www.atim.com/en/support-2/downloading/ Connect the ACW-DINRSM to your computer with a micro-USB cable, then start the ACW configuration tool. When you connect the ACW-DINRSM, the ACW configuration tool window changes to give you access to parameter settings for your device. - Page 14 Product reference Apply settings ACW-DIN RSM Radio module firmware Reload settings Network ID Restore factory settings firmware version version radio module Four major sections can be distinguished here. The ‘Serial parameters’ section is at the top left, ‘Other parameters’ at the centre left, the Modbus configuration section at the right and the debugging area at the bottom.
- Page 15 When adding or editing a Modbus frame, a window like the one below will appear. Use this window to configure all the parameters for your Modbus frame. Note : To edit the Radio (Network) header, you will have to edit the first Modbus frame. The number of Modbus and radio (network) frames is limited.
- Page 16 In the example above, 3 tests have been performed on the same frame. The first two have failed and the last one has succeeded. In this way, you can adjust the timeout period and the parameters for your frames. With RS485, if ‘00’ appears after the timeout when testing a Modbus frame, this probably means that the RS485 termination resistor is not activated.
- Page 17 Configuration example In this example, we have 3 radio frames with headers of 40, 41 and 90 plus 7 Modbus frames. Radio frame 40 contains 4 Modbus frames; radio frame 41 contains 2 Modbus frames; and radio frame 90 contains just one Modbus frame. The figure below shows the radio frames that will be sent out (if the Modbus slaves respond): Radio frame 40: Byte...

Transmitting information on IoT networks (Sigfox/LoRaWAN): a. Keep-alive frame This frame is sent to the network instead of the periodic frames if no Modbus frame is configured. Frame format: Byte Data 0x01 Power supply voltage of radio core Power supply voltage of radio core 0x64 on standby (millivolts –... - Page 19 0x00 Reserved, not used 0x01 Illegal function: The Modbus server does not support the specified function code; it may not be configured or implemented. 0x02 Illegal data address: One or more register or bit addresses are not permissible. This is due to a register or bit address outside of the slave’s addressable range.

The document ‘ATIM_ACW-DLConfig_UG_FR_Vx.x.pdf’ explains how exchange frames work for this function. This document is available for download at www.atim.com. You can also ask your technical support team for a copy. Important note: When you send the command to request the ACW configuration, several uplink frames will be sent. - Page 21 ⚫ 0x40 = 19200bps (default) ⚫ 0x50 = 38400 bps ⚫ 0x60 = 57600 bps ⚫ 0x70 = 115200 bps Serial link parity – Byte 3 – bits 0 to 1: The possible values in byte 3 for these bits are: ⚫...
- Page 22 Modbus frame parameters (Code 30 to 61): These parameters are ‘buffered’ parameters: one or more parts of the configuration can be applied/accessed. Refer to the document ‘ATIM_ACW-DLConfig_UG_FR_vx.pdf’ for more details. The buffer for this parameter consists of 6 bytes, as follows: Octet 1 Octet 2 Octet 3...
