21 - Introduction
1�2 Important information
1�2�1 Installation
Electrical installation work may only be carried out by qualied electricians in accordance with the
applicable regulations. The equipment must be unplugged from the mains during installation.
1�2�2 Protection
IMSE Webmaster Pro is protected to IP 20, which means it is not water resistant. It must not be in-
stalled where it might be exposed to water of any kind.
1�2�3 Electromagnetic radiation
When measurement and control systems are installed, the cables must be laid in a way that minimis-
es magnetic and electric elds. These elds can be inuenced by many factors – frequency convert-
ers, relays, contactors, earth currents and static discharge. Cable lengths can also aect sensitivity.
The installation should be carefully planned to minimise interference.
1�2�4 Operating conditions
IMSE WebMaster Pro is designed for an ambient temperature of between –40 °C and +60 °C and up
to 90 % relative humidity (non-condensing).
1�3 Warranty
1. Abelko will repair any design, material and manufacturing defects at its own expense, provided
they occur during normal use and the purchaser submits a claim within 60 months of the veried
delivery date. The purchaser is responsible for removal and re-installation and for paying transport
costs to Abelko, and Abelko will repair the defect and return the equipment free of charge to the
purchaser.
2. The warranty only covers design, material and manufacturing defects. This means that Abelko is
not responsible for defects caused by a failure to follow the instructions, or defects resulting from
normal wear and tear, poor maintenance, unauthorised work, non-compliant operating conditions,
incorrect installation, or repairs not carried out by Abelko or an authorised agent, voltage surges or
other electrical faults.
3. Abelko's responsibility for defects is limited to the circumstances described above. Abelko is not
responsible for any consequential damage that may occur as a result of design, material and manu-
facturing defects. The purchaser is therefore not entitled to use defects as grounds for compensa-
tion or any other claim, except in the circumstances described above, nor may such claim be made
against any third parties responsible for fullling this warranty.
4. Abelko is not responsible for restoring any congurations, etc. added by the purchaser. The pur-
chaser should create a backup of congurations and save them to a server.

2- Inputs and outputs
2 Inputs and outputs
2�1 Introduction
The WMPro can use 24 V AC or DC, or 12 V DC as the power supply. Altogether there are 40 inputs
and outputs for connecting sensors, actuators or relays.
The WMPro has one RS485 port and one expansion port to communicate with peripheral equip-
ment and external units. To communicate with the outside world there is an RS-232 port for con-
necting a modem, as well as an Ethernet connection. Section 3 explains how to connect the device
and how to use a web browser to communicate with it.
The diagram above and the table on the next page show the locations and the uses of the various
input types. Note that some inputs are multifunctional and can be used for more than one sensor
type.
When the device is switched o or is starting up, all digital outputs are o and all analog outputs are
0 V.
This section explains how to connect sensors and actuators to the WMPro and how to power
them. It starts with a description of the available inputs and outputs and a hookup example. The
inputs and outputs are then described in detail separately.

2
62- Inputs and outputs
If the power supply to the WMPro is 24 V AC or DC, there
is one output for 24 V DC and another for 12 V DC. These
outputs can be used to operate relays or as a power sup-
ply for sensors. Be careful not to overload the outputs.
To make space for all the inputs and outputs, the number
of earth terminals (GND) is quite small. Earth terminals are
shared between a number of inputs and outputs. If you
are planning to use a lot of inputs and outputs, you could
add an external earth bar or a row of earth terminals to
make it easier to connect everything up.
The enclosure is designed for DIN rails, and the width is nine modules. The terminal blocks are
divisible to simplify installation and replacement. The four plug-in blocks have dierent widths to
minimise the risk of incorrect connections. The maximum width of the screwdriver you use to con-
nect wires to the terminals should be 2 mm, otherwise you might damage the plastic and dislodge
the screws.
The LEDs on the front indicate the status of the eight
digital inputs and the eight digital outputs. There are also
LEDs for power supply, operating status and alarm status.
Finally, there are LEDs indicating Ethernet, RS485 and
RS232 activity.
Status LEDs
The POWER LED lights up when
the WMPro is connected to the
power supply. The STATUS LED
lights up when the device starts
measuring and controlling. If there
is an error in the device, the STA-
TUS LED start ashing.
I/O type Number Comments
Temperature inputs 8 For 1000 Ω sensors, e.g. Pt1000 or Ni1000. Measur-
ing range 800 Ω to 1580 Ω (= -50 °C to +150 °C for
Pt1000). They also act as digital inputs.
Analog inputs for voltage 4 0 to 10 V, approx. 100 kΩ input impedance. 10 bit
resolution.
Analog inputs for current 4 0 to 20 mA, or 4 to 20 mA. 10 bit resolution.
Digital inputs 8 Digital status inputs DI1 to 4 also act as frequency
inputs or counters up to 200 Hz.
Analog outputs 8 0 to 10 V, max. 2 mA.
Digital outputs 8 Open collector outputs. Max. 36 V and 0.5 A.
Connections
The maximum width of the screw-
driver you use to connect wires
to the terminals should be 2 mm,
otherwise you might damage the
plastic and dislodge the screws.

2�2 Example
Later on we will congure inputs and outputs, as well as a controller for a heating central as illus-
trated below.
2�3 Electrical connection
Here are some examples of dierent electrical connection options.
2�3�1 Power supply
The WMPro can run o a 12 V DC or 24 V AC or DC power supply. If a 24 V power supply is used, the
12 V DC and 24 V DC terminals can be used, each with a 100 mA load. These terminals can be used to
operate relays and two-wire sensors with 4-20 mA outputs.

82- Inputs and outputs
2�3�2 Temperature inputs
The temperature sensors share just ve earth
connections (GND). That means that in some
places, two wires will use the same terminal.
The sensor impedance is about 1000 ohm,
and the line impedance is insignicant. 4
ohm corresponds to about 1 degree. Long
cables and cables subject to interference
must be shielded. The shielding must be con-
nected to protective earth at one end.
The sensors are connected in the same way if you are using the temperature inputs as digital inputs.
Important: You must invert these inputs to obtain the same function as the normal digital inputs.
2�3�3 Analog inputs
The WMPro has four 0-10 V voltage inputs and four 0(4) - 20 mA current inputs. The voltage is meas-
ured to earth (GND).

2
9
2- Inputs and outputs
2�3�5 Analog outputs
The analog outputs supply voltage to earth (GND). Up to 2 mA load for each output. The outputs
are short circuit proof. If the same transformer is used to supply the WMPro and actuators, be careful
with phase and neutral throughout the system. For the cable dimension, follow the manufacturer's
recommendations .
2�3�4 Digital inputs
Digital inputs have an internal 12 V supply via a resistor, and the input must be connected to earth
(GND) with a dry contact output. Equipment with open collector or open drain outputs can also
be used, but remember that the WMPro GND is connected to the equipment ground – which may
cause problems in some situations.

2
10 2- Inputs and outputs
2�3�6 Digital outputs
Digital outputs sink current to earth (GND). The output transistors can handle 36 V DC and 0.5 A. If
the WMPro has a 24 V AC/DC power supply, you can connect a supply voltage to the output relay,
either 12 or 24 V. Important: The maximum load is 100 mA.

3 Communication
3�1 Communication options
The WMPro has two communication ports – one for
Ethernet and the other for a modem. You can connect
the Ethernet port directly to a computer, a network or a
broadband modem. You will always use the Ethernet port
to congure a new WMPro for the rst time.
The modem port (RS232) is used for remote access via a
modem. You can use a standard dialup modem or a GSM/
GPRS modem for wireless access. If a WMPro has a modem,
you can connect to it.
3�2 Network connection
You can connect a WMPro to a LAN temporarily in order
to congure it, or permanently as part of a larger sys-
tem. To congure a new WMPro you will need to use a
computer connected to the same LAN. This user guide
assumes the computer is running Windows 95, 98, 2000,
XP or NT. Other operating systems are also supported. The
procedure is more or less the same, although the details
may dier depending on the operating system.
3�2�1 PC connection
The IP address factory setting for a new WMPro is 10.0.48.94. Start by letting your computer know
that your WMPro is connected to the same network. Because all WMPro devices come precongured
with the same address, you will only be able to connect one new WMPro at a time.
You will need a computer with a web browser in order to change settings and access the infor-
mation in a WMPro. This section explains how to connect a WMPro to a computer or network.
First, there is an outline of the various options that are available, and you will nd out how to get
started quickly and easily. If your computer is connected to a LAN, the easiest method is de-
scribed in 3.2. If there is no network, you can use a direct connection instead, as described in 3.3.
3.4 explains how to browse to a WMPro, and in 3.5 you will learn how to change network settings.
More advanced communication options are discussed in 3.6 onwards. Turn to section 18 for de-
tails of RS485 communication with external units and WMShare.
Ethernet indicators
The Ethernet port has two LEDs –
LINK (yellow) lights up when the
WMPro is connected to a network,
and LAN (green) ashes when
there is network trac.
RS232 indicators
The RS232 port has four data traf-
c and handshake LEDs.

12 3 - Communication
3�2�2 Direct connection using the Connection Wizard
If you use a direct connection as described in 3.3, you can use the Connection Wizard. If everything
works you will be able to browse to your WMPro directly, see 3.4. If you connect your WMPro to an
existing network instead, you should follow the instructions starting at 3.2.3.
The Connection Wizard is a small program that sets the computer IP address, searches for a con-
nected WMPro and opens a browser.
The program is available for download from the Support section of the Abelko web site www.
abelko.se. It automatically runs a "route add" command and opens a browser.
The program does not have a special install routine – simply copy it to the desktop or to its own
folder. You can even run it directly from a diskette or CD-ROM. Important: The program only works
in Windows 2000 or XP, and you must have administrator rights on your computer�
3�2�3 Connecting manually using the network
Start by nding out your own network address by opening a DOS
window and typing "arp -a" at the command prompt. To open a DOS
window, click Run on the Start menu and type "command" in Win-
dows 98 or "cmd" in Windows NT/2000/XP.
The top line of the results contains the IP
address of your network adapter. Exam-
ple:
C:\>arp -a
Interface: 192�168�2�126 on interface
0x2000003
In this case, 192.168.2.126 is your com-
puter's IP address.

3
11
3 - Communication
3�2�4 Creating a search path
Still in the DOS window, type this command:
route add –p 10.0.48.94 X.X.X.X
and press Enter. (Replace X.X.X.X with your computer's IP address). Your computer will now act as a
gateway for WMPro. The "-p" option means that the setting is permanent.
You can remove it with "route delete". If you miss out the "–p", the setting will disappear when you
restart the computer. If you are using Windows XP with a direct connection, you should use "–p",
otherwise the setting will disappear when the WMPro restarts.
3�2�5 Check that the address is free
Before connecting the WMPro to the network, make sure the default IP address is free . Check that
the address is not in use by typing the following command in the DOS window:
ping 10�0�48�94
If the address is free, you will see "Request timed out" in the result. If the result is "Reply from
10�0�48�94: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128" (or something like it) the default IP address is already
in use. In this case you will need to change the basic conguration with a direct connection as de-
scribed in 3.3.

3
14 3 - Communication
3�2�6 Connect the WMPro
You are now ready to connect the WMPro to the network
and switch it on. After a minute or so STATUS LED light up
to indicate that the device is up and running.
If the network connection is working properly, the yel-
low LINK LED also lights up. If it fails to light up, there is
a connection error. You might be using the wrong kind
of cable. There are two types of network cable – straight-through and cross-over. You must use a
straight-through cable to connect to a network socket, a hub or a switch.
You can check the settings using the ping command described in 3.2.5. The WMPro should send a
reply. The best way to check that everything is working is to browse to the device. See 3.4 to nd out
how to do this.
3�3 Direct connection to the WMPro
A direct connection involves running a network cable directly between the WMPro and a PC. A
cross-over cable must be used for this type of connection.
You can also use the route add command described in 3.2 in a direct connection, but only if there is
no gateway dened in the WMPro (factory setting).
Important: If the WMPro is congured for connection to a modem via the RS232 port, a gateway
will be dened. In this case, you will need to change your computer's IP address so it is in the same
network as the WMPro. The procedure depends on your operating system.
There are several ways to change the IP address – here is one of the easiest. You can only change the
address if you are logged in with administration rights in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Standalone WMPro
Use a direct connection if you want
the WMPro to run as a standalone
device without a network. You
do not need to change any of the
basic settings.
