====== Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge ======
**Wireless Modbus-to-Modbus bridge**
{{ hiq_hardware:wm1_module.png?nolink&0x500 }}
| Model number: ^ WM-1 |
| Frequency: | ISM 868MHz (EU) |
| Dimensions: | 93x45x27 mm |
===== Applications =====
* Replacement for RS485 wiring solution with wireless. Optimal for long range Modbus RTU serial communications with half duplex configuration.
===== 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
* Bind modules to wireless network

===== Wireless binding =====
==== Create new secure group ====
* turn on all devices at 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
{{ hiq_hardware:wm1_topology.png?nolink&0x500 }}
==== 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.

===== Connection check =====
* Press button shortly
* RF LED will blink shortly on each connected device
* Serial interface is unaffected

===== Factory reset =====
* Hold button and turn the device ON
* RF led will blink twice. Group address is now reset to default.
* Other devices will not be affected.
