Auto Recovery Module (ARM) Introduction
The Auto Recovery Module (ARM) is an optional memory module that is installed between the node and the valve
adapter module and is used to backup the manifold system parameters even during catastrophic failure. During the
power-up process the communication module reads the configuration of the manifold, including any user settable
parameters of I/O modules, and stores the information in its non volatile memory. Once the information is stored, it is
disconnected from the power circuits while still mechanically attached to the manifold.

3. Connecting to the Wireless ARM (Computer or Mobile Device)
Once a G3 manifold equipped with a Wireless ARM is powered on; the Wireless ARM will broadcast it’s SSID.
Locate the Wireless ARM broadcast ID
On the computer or mobile device; open available WIFI connections. In this example the SSID is Broadcast as “G3 Numatics
6c5c3c”. Each Wireless ARM Clip’s SSID is unique and comprised of the last 6 digits of the Wireless ARM Clip’s MAC ID.
Select the connection and enter the network security key.
The default network security key is 12345678
Verify the computer/Mobile device is connected to the Wireless ARM Clip.

4. Wireless ARM Webserver in “View Only” mode
“View Only” mode allows the user read only access. Configuration and parameters are locked and unable to be modified. In
this mode you can monitor the condition of all of the modules in the G3 sub-bus network.
“View Only” mode is identified by the “View only” tag at the top left of the Dashboard page.
To exit “View Only” mode and change to “Configuration & Parameter Changes” mode, close the second open webpage tab from
the top of the screen. The first tab is the landing page where you can select which mode you would like to view the webserver
in.
NOTE: If using a smartphone or tablet, you will need to open a Tabs view to close the “View Only” page and go back to the
landing page.

The Valve Driver Module coil diagnostic information is displayed. Here you can turn on Output Forcing to test-fire valve coils
and outputs.
 To force fire valves and/or other outputs you will need to turn on “Output
Forcing” from the top of the page. Two Factor Authentication (2FA) will be
required for safety.
NOTE!

When you turn on “Output Forcing” you will be prompted to authorize this feature via Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). To
initiate Output Forcing, first click “SUBMIT REQUEST” to being 2FA.
2FA can be completed directly from the Graphic Display on the G3 Communication Module, or through the embedded G3
Webserver. Note that to use the G3 Webserver option you will have to remain connected via WIFI to the ARM module AND be
directly connected via Ethernet cable to the G3 Communication Module.
Once you click “Submit Request”, the text will change to “AUTHENTICATING” until the second step of the 2FA has been
complete either through the G3 Graphic Display or through the embedded G3 Webpage.
 For safety reasons only one WIFI connection with Output Forcing ON is
permitted at a time.
NOTE!

Option 1 – Authentication via the G3 Graphic Display:
Once 2FA has been initiated through the Wireless ARM webpage, the Graphic Display on the G3 Communication Module will
read “ENABLE WIFI OUTPUTS”. To complete the 2FA process and enable output forcing, click the SET button on the module.
The display will then flash the message “WIFI OUTPUTS ARE ENABLED” for several seconds.
Once “WIFI OUTPUTS ARE ENABLED” stops flashing the graphic display will show the option to “DISABLE WIFI OUTPUTS”. To
exit Output Forcing mode you may either press the SET button on the G3 Communication Module, or turn Output Forcing off
using the Wireless ARM webpage.
On the Wireless ARM webpage the blue button text will now read “ACCEPT”. Click this button to continue with Output Forcing
turned on. Output Forcing will remain on until it is turned off via the Wireless ARM webpage or the G3 Graphic Display, or until
the WIFI connection with the ARM is terminated.

6. Returning Wireless ARM to Factory Defaults
To return the Wireless ARM to Factory Default settings, log into the G3 Communication Node embedded webserver (240-325
Ethernet/IP DLR or 240-240 Profinet node). To do this, disconnect the PLC communication from the node and connect a laptop
computer via the node directly or through a switch. Set your laptop’s IP Address to match the same first 3 octets of the node
(i.e. 192.168.003.XXX), and the last octet to an address that is not the same as the node.
To access the webserver, type the IP Address of the node into any internet browser. From the Home page, select the
“Diagnostics” tab from the top of the page. Locate the Wireless ARM in the module list and click “Show Details”. The window
will expand to show you more detail about the ARM. Click the “Reset to factory defaults” button.
