Set up
a. Positioning
This version was designed for installation in an electrical box made of PVC or metal. If the cabinet is
made of insulating material (PVC, ABS, fiberglass), it is possible to simply use a small whip-wave
antenna: Ref ATIM ANT868-12FSC. This antenna must be firmly screwed on the SMA connector and
positioned vertically, preferably upwards.
➔In the case of a metal box, it is imperative to deport the antenna to the outside to have good
results in radio (avoid the Faraday cage!)
For best results, it is advisable to move the antenna up and clear of any metal obstacle within a radius
of 1 meter if possible.
b. Modem connection
Terminals:
Antenna (SMA):
Before powering the product, a 50Ω / 868MHz antenna must be connected, either
directly to the SMA connector or via a 50Ω cable in case of antenna offset.
Alimentation (Lower terminal):
The ACW-DIO module must be powered with a continuous power supply between 10V
and 30V.
OUT (Lower terminal):
The logic output is MOSFET current source (N channel), 10-30Vdc. The maximum
charging current is 0.2A.
IN1/IN2 (Upper terminal):
You can connect up to two inputs in 10-30Vdc positive logic. The filter of the input is 250
ms. The maximum recommended cable length and 1 meter.
USB:
The USB connector is used to configure the ACW via a PC and a USB cable.
➔The configuration must be done with the device powered by 10 / 30Vdc.

Configuration du modem
Download and install the configuration software '' setupACW.exe '' at:
http://www.atim.com/produit/atim-cloud-wireless-acw/
Connect the module to your computer with a USB cable and then launch the software.
When you connect the module, the software window changes to allow you to access the main features.
Automatically, the current configuration of the connected module is retrieved and displayed.
a. Local mode configuration 868MHz
✓Operating mode
Three operating modes are available: slave, master or mirror.
oSlave mode it is your remote device that will interrogate the ACW-DIO.
oIn Master mode, the ACW-DINDIO will periodically send (from 10min to 24h) or on a change
of state the values of the recorded entries.
oIn Mirror mode, communication is done between two ACW-DIOs every 500ms. A copy of the
input and output is performed between two remote modems. One of the two modems must
be identified as master and the other as a slave, which can be defined in the "Operating mode"
window of the "Mirror" tab.
✓Inputs configuration
The ACW-DINDIO module has 2 configurable inputs. Each entry can be activated or not. The signal
must be made by a 10-30V contact.
✓Radio parameters
oThe radio channel must be the same between your different devices wanting to communicate
together.
oThe baudrate must be the same between your different equipment wanting to communicate
together.

10
ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
oThe modem address is the address of your ACW-DINDIO, each modem must have a different
address.
oThe remote address is the address of the device with which you want to communicate.
oTimeOut acts as a watchdog. It is configurable from 0 (disabled) to 10 seconds. If no frame
has arrived at the product within this time, then the modem output goes to 0.
If you do not set one of the statement periods fields. When you click the Write key, an Invalid message
will appear next to it and a window will indicate which field is in default.
✓Setup
Once you have completed the configuration, click on the Write button to validate it. After a few
seconds of waiting, a message appears next to it to inform you if the module update succeeded or
failed.
Note
This is when the module synchronizes with the time of your PC.
✓Default
Resets the original values. After clearing the saved values, you can configure the ACW-DIO again.
Once the configuration is complete, do not leave the module connected to USB. This mode
of operation is very energy intensive. When you remove the USB link without disconnecting
the power, the modem automatically returns to normal operation. On power up, a first radio
transmission is made in the 60s.
Lights meaning
In USB configuration mode, the green LED flashes slowly until the configuration is completed and the
USB cable is removed.
a. Local 868MHz
The green status indicator illuminates when the product is powered. After a few seconds, a data
transmission is performed. If the request is successful, the green LED illuminates briefly, in case of a
failure the red LED lights up.

11
ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
Frames format
In point-to-point or point-to-multipoint local communication mode, the Modbus RTU protocol is used.
Modbus mode is commonly used with a Modbus master controller or with a supervisor connected to an
ACW-RS or an ARM-SE. Download the configuration software from:

Use case
Mirror mode allows copying of digital inputs to one or more remote radio modems. In simple mirror
mode, the copy is made from one module to another (and vice versa). In multiple mirror mode, it is
possible to have a master module to several slave modules. The transmission is cyclic or triggered
(change of state).

Master Modem

15
ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
In this configuration, the master modem and the slave modem have identical configuration of the inputs
and outputs, the master modem sends a radio frame representing the state of its inputs to the slave
modem which copies the state of the received inputs to its outputs and which immediately returns the
status of its entries to the master modem.
Click on the 3rd tab of the configuration tool called "Mirror". One of the two modems must be declared
as master and the other as a slave using the "Operating mode" drop-down list.
The "@Modem" modem address of the slave product must match the "@Remote" address of the master
product. The radio channel and the baudrate must also be identical on both products. Please refer to
the ARM-Nano User Guide for the frequency corresponding to the channel. TimeOut acts as a watchdog.
It is configurable from 0 (disabled) to 10 seconds. If no frame has arrived at the product within this
time then the modem output goes to 0.
The master modem instantiates communication with the slave modem to send the state of its input 1
and retrieve the state of input 1 of the slave modem. In order to enable you to validate the installation,
the green leds on both modems must illuminate when the communication is effective.

ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
Simple mirror mode between a ACW-DI and a ACW-DINDIO
In this configuration, the master modem sends the frame on a change of state of its digital inputs to the
slave modem.
The ACW-DI with battery must be configured in master mode, it is him who will instantiate the
communication during a change of state of its entry. The ACW-DINDIO will be configured as a slave to
assign the value sent from the master to its output.
The "@Remote" address of the ACW-DI master must match the "@Modem" slave address of the ACW-
DINDIO, so that communication is valid between the two products.
In order to allow you to validate the installation, the green leds must light up on both modems when
the communication is effective.
The "Remote" address on the ACW-DI master product must match the "Modem" address on the ACW-
DIO slave product.

Multiple mirror mode
In this configuration, there is a master modem and several slave modems. The master modem cyclically
sends the state of its input to the slave modems. In this mode, slave modems do not respond to the
master. The "@Remote" address of the master modem must be set to 0 in order to broadcast (broadcast
to all slaves without distinction of address). Slave modems must be set to "Slave".
