WBE2-DI-DR-3

Module overview

A three-channel module for connecting sensors and meters with dry-contact or open-collector outputs.

Logic 0: the input is floating.

Logic 1: the input is connected to the controller ground (GND), either directly or through a resistance of no more than 300 Ω.

The module has no hardware pulse-counting function. Pulse counting can be implemented in software, or by using a WB-MCM8 module. Example wb-rules rules: Counting pulses on a digital input.

Installation

When modules are ordered together with a Wiren Board controller, the manufacturer installs them at the factory. You only need to configure the modules in the controller web interface .

If you purchased the modules separately, install them as follows:

1. Open the controller enclosure.
2. Install the module with the correct polarity: its locating tab must enter the slot on the controller PCB.

• 
  Expansion module port numbering (WB 6.7–8.4)
• 
  Expansion module port numbering (WB 8.5, 8M)

The module is compatible with all revisions of the Wiren Board 6, Wiren Board 7 and Wiren Board 8 controllers, subject to the compatibility table below:

When installing the module in the MOD3 connector of a Wiren Board 6.7–8.4 controller, or in the MOD4 connector of a Wiren Board 8.5 controller, remove the obstructing tab on the controller enclosure using cutters or a file.

Configuration

Access permissions

The access level depends on the user account. Users authenticate with a username and password. To change the controller settings, your account must have the following access level: Admin. User accounts are managed under Settings → Users. See User authentication and authorization.

In releases earlier than wb-2602 there are no user accounts; the access level is configured under Settings → Permissions.

Configuration

After physically connecting the module, add it to the controller configuration:

1. In the web interface, open Settings → Configs → Expansion modules and ports and select the Internal slot in which the expansion module is installed.
2. In the Module type list, select the name of the installed module.
3. Click Save. The controller will enable the ports required by the module.

To remove a module from the configuration, select Not installed.

Controller integration

Hardware revisions

The batch number is printed on a label on the side of the enclosure or on the PCB.
