====== Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge ======

**Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge**

</WRAP>

===== Applications =====

* Replacement for RS485 wiring solution with wireless. Optimal for long range Modbus RTU serial communications with half duplex configuration.

</WRAP>

===== Installation and mounting =====
  * :!: Carefully open WM-1 module and configure serial communication with jumpers. (Default configuration is 9600bps, 8N1 with normal timeout)
  * :!: Place WM-1 module at least 10cm from other objects. Installation is not recommended inside metal cabinets.
  * Connect RS485 terminals to WM-1 RS485 terminals
    * A - A
    * B - B
    * C - GND
  * Connect to 230V power supply
  * Configure radio pairing

===== Features =====

* replacement for RS485 wiring
  * Modbus RTU serial protocol
  * wired/wireless combinations
  * very long range, no hopping
  * protected private connection
  * multiple slaves per device
  * multiple addressable groups

===== Technical specification =====

===== Terminals and wiring =====

| To power sensor ^ A | RS485 bus  |
| :::            ^ B | :::        |
| :::            ^ C | :::        |
| To power supply ^ L| 230V AC |
| :::             ^ N| :::     |

===== Radio configuration =====

==== Create new secure group ====
  
  * turn on all devices as the same time
  * within 10 seconds, while RF LED is blinking, press and hold button on one of the devices
  * after a second, the new address is randomly generated and sent to all devices. RF LED will blink 3 times to confirm the new address.

==== Add new device to the group ====
  
  * turn on the device
  * within 10 seconds, press and hold button on one of the existing devices
  * after a second, the existing group address is sent to the new device. RF LED will blink 3 times to confirm the address is sent.

==== Topology examples ====
  
  * Modbus master, connected to 12 slaves using a pair of WM-1 devices
  * Modbus master, connected to 10 slaves, organized in two groups
  * Modbus master, connected to 5 slaves, each one having local WM-1 device

==== Multiple groups ====
  
  * When the system has two or more separate Modbus lines, they should be configured as separate groups. 
  * Each group has a single master and one or more slaves.
  * Groups can't talk to each other, but they share the same bandwidth. 
  * Two masters may start transmitting at the same time causing collisions. 
  * To reduce number of missed messages, keep the traffic low.
