1. DESCRIPTION
The TCP-485 WiFi Log converter is an interface for communicating Full Gauge Controls controllers with the
management software. The TCP-485 WiFi Log uses a Wi-Fi or Ethernet data network to

communicate with the TCP/IP standard. Currently, many companies have wireless routers installed in their facilities,
as well as wired infrastructures, making it possible to use these same networks for data traffic between controllers

2. APPLICATIONS
- Installations in which using the existing Wireless or Ethernet network is paramount;
- Installations that do not have conditions for passing new RS-485 data cabling and already have and Ethernet
structure installed.
Note: The TCP-485 WiFi Log converter is designed to work with Full Gauge Controls instrument only.

as soon as
The TCP-485 WiFi Log converter should be preferably installed in places away from noise and
electromagnetic interference. It must be powered by the power supply provided with the device, if provided,
or a compatible one.
If the operating mode is Wi-Fi Client, the signal quality of the wireless network must be ensured. If the signal
is bad or very bad (see item 9), the communication may become unstable and there may be loss of
information. For recommendations on how to position the device to avoid interference, see item 13.
The RS-485 network must be connected following the recommendations in item 12.
7. OPERATION MODES
The TCP-485 WiFi Log converter has two network interfaces: Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and three modes
Vdc / A source
2
of operation: Wi-Fi Access Point, Wi-Fi Client and Ethernet Client. Only one operation mode is enabled at a
time that is, it is not possible to use the Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces at the same time.
7.1 Wi-Fi Access Point Mode:
In this mode, it operates as a Wi-Fi access point that accepts connection from only one client. This is the
factory default operating mode, which basically serves to configure the converter on first use, although it can
operate in this mode with a Sitrad client connected to it. The factory default SSID is TCP-485 WIFI Log W-
XXXX E-YYYY, with XXXX being the last 4 digits of the Wi-Fi MAC address and YYYY being the last 4 digits
of the Ethernet MAC address.
Wi-Fi: F8: F0: 05: AD: 75: 56
Example:
Ethernet: F8: F0: 05: AD: 10: 54
The MAC address of the product's network interfaces can be found on the label located on the front of the
case.

7.2
Wi-Fi Client Mode
In this mode, it operates as a Wi-Fi client and connects to the wireless network provided by the user.
Supports dynamic (DHCP) or static IP configuration. It accepts the connection of a Sitrad client and has an
IP filter to restrict access within the network.
7.3
Ethernet Client Mode
In this mode, it operates as an Ethernet client and connects to the wired network provided by the user.
Supports dynamic (DHCP) or static IP configuration. It accepts the connection of a Sitrad client and has an
IP filter to restrict access within the network.
