The tools used in this example are as follows:
This is the configuration page of a WIFER
unit & we can see all of the devices behind the switch.
We have the following devices connected.
Three M580 CPUs, One 340 CPU, One QuantumCPU
In the WIFER Webserver we can see a full menu
for the WIFER unit as a Wifi router on the lefthand side.
On the righthand side you’ll see the details of each option you’ve selected.
In this example we’ve used the basic settings.
We can see the following details: WPS settings, Network settings, Wireless settings,
DHCP settings
We can also ping the devices behind the WIFER unit.
Here we see the ping responses from the three M580 CPU’s
Here we see the ping responses from the 340 CPU
And here we see the ping responses from the Quantum CPU
We can see here everything is responding as expected.
In the Colomn IP address are selectable Hyperlinks that will lead to the configuration page of
each device. For example the Quantum Webserver, we can see the following details:
Diagnostics, Rackviewer this loads a Java applet, Statistics
Now we’ll connect to the M340 Webserver, we can see the following details:
Diagnostics, Rackviewer, here we see a simple application that is not running, Statistics
Now we’ll connect to the M580 Webserver, we can see the following details:
Status Summary, Diagnostics, here we can see for example: the performance, Port statistics,
IO scanner & Messaging.
Now we’ll go back to the WIFER Webserver
and connect to Unity Pro.
In this example we’ve already started 5 Unity Pro sessions
connected via the WIFER in TCP/IP. Here we can see the following configurations:
The three M580 CPUs, The M340 CPU, And the Quantum CPU
Now we’ll connect to the M340 CPU & run the program.
In the Quantum CPU we’ll openan Animation table,
here we can see the cycle times & other status information.
We can stop some of the M580 CPU’s as well. As you can see the WIFER unit is capable of multiple
TCP/IP connections simultaneously.
There is a quickstart guide that is shipped
with every WIFER unit that can be used for basic configuration.
There is also a range of WIFER related videos on the Schneider Electric Youtube channel.
