Page 3: General Description
- 5 years form the date of production 1. General description. The RS485-WiFi interface is a device intended for converting signals between the RS485 bus and the Ethernet network and dedicated for working with power supply units of the PSBEN (Black Power) group connected to WLAN/WAN network. -
Page 4: Installation
3.2 Connecting to the RS485 bus. The RS485-WiFi interface is connected to the RS485 bus via the ‘RS485’ connector. Connect the wires of the RS485 bus to the A+, B- terminals of the connector. They are assigned in the same way and the connection is identical to the rest of devices (A+ to A+, B- to B-). - Page 5 INTRW Fig.2. The view of the interface with a description of the wires.

Then, use the ‘Digi Device Discovery’ program as help. First, run the program (Digi Device Discovery). After launching, the program will display the logged-in RS485-WiFi interface. Identification of our module can be done by comparing the MAC addresses. Fig. 4. The window of the ‘Digi Device Discovery’ program showing a logged-in interface. -
Page 8: Step 3 - Assigning The Ssid Identifier For Wi-Fi Network
In this manual, the configuration of the Wi-Fi interfaces has been based on a wireless 'LinkSys WRT54GL’ Wi-Fi router. To make certain that the RS485-WiFi interface will be connected only to an appointed router, enter the network identifier. To do that, log into the interface’s router configuration as follows: open the window of a web browser, type 192.168.1.1 in the address field (router’s default address after a reset) and approve with the ‘ENTER’... - Page 9 INTRW Choose the ‘Wireless’ tab. Now, type the SSID network identifier which is the name of the network within which the Wi-Fi interfaces will be transmitting data to the computer. In the ‘Wireless Network Name’ field, type any name, e.g. ‘PowerSecurity’. Other settings shall remain unchanged.
- Page 10 INTRW Fig. 10. The panel of the interface’s configuration. On the left from the window, there is a menu. Choose the ‘Network’ option from the ‘Configuration’ group. Another window will be loaded. Choose ‘WiFi LAN settings’ at the bottom. The following window will appear: Fig.
- Page 11 INTRW From the same window, choose the ‘WiFi Security Settings’ tab at the bottom. Settings from this tab are responsible for protection against attempts of unauthorized connection by other users. In the tabs: ‘Network Authentication’ and ‘Data Encryption’ choose these methods of authentication and data encryption that are supported by the router in use.
- Page 12 INTRW Such implemented changes shall be approved by clicking the ‘Apply’ button. After that, the message informing about approved changes will appear. Now the interface has been reprogrammed. However, to make it operate accordingly to the adjustments, it needs to be reset, but only after adjusting the router.

Page 13: Step 4 - Selecting The Communication Mode
The topology of the network is based on wireless Wi-Fi router connected to another PSU segments (connected in the RS485 bus) via the RS485-WiFi interface. Each interface has a static IP address. Communication between a PC and the final PSU is by giving the IP address of the interface, the address of the PSU in the RS485 network and the number of the port responsible for the communication. - Page 14 To configure the function of redirecting the connection, give the IP address of the RS485-WiFi interface and the number of the port responsible for the communication.

Page 19: Communication In The Wlan Serial Bridge Mode
The topology of the network is based on a wireless router which serves as a bridge between two segments of the RS485 bus. Each bus is connected to the RS485-WiFi interface, where one is the Client, and other the Server. Each interface has a static IP address. Communication between a PC and the final PSU is by entering the PSU address in the RS485 bus. -
