Hardware Installation
Connecting the Power
Connect the 12 to 36 VDC power line to the ioLogik E1261W-T’s terminal block (TB1). If power is properly
supplied, the Power LED will glow a solid red color.
ATTENTION
Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current exceeds the maximum rating, the
wiring may overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. For safety reasons, we recommend an
average cable size of 22 AWG. However, depending on the current load, you may want to adjust your cable size
(the maximum wire size for power connectors is 2 mm).
Grounding the ioLogik E1261W-T
The ioLogik E1261W-T is equipped with two grounding points, one on the wallmount socket and the other on
the DIN-rail mount. Both grounding points are connected on the same conducting pathway.
Connect the ground pin ( ) if earth ground is available.
Connecting to the Network
The ioLogik E1261W-T has two built-in RJ45 Ethernet ports for connecting a standard direct or cross-over
Ethernet cable to either the host PC or another ioLogik E1261W-T device. For initial setup of the ioLogik
E1261W-T, it is recommended that the ioLogik E1261W-T be configured using a direct connection to a host
computer rather than remotely over the network.
Configure the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.xxx (where xxx ranges from 001 to 253). When using
Windows, you will need to configure from the Control Panel.
ioLogik E1261W-T Default IP Address Default Netmask Default Gateway
192.168.127.254 255.255.255.0 None
Use the web console or ioSearch™ configuration utility to connect to the ioLogik E1261W-T. Once the ioLogik
E1261W-T has been detected, modify the settings as needed for your network environment, and then restart
the server. Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 for further details.

Introduction to the Web Console
The ioLogik E1261W-T web console is a browser-based configuration utility. When the ioLogik E1261W-T is
connected to your network, you may enter the server’s IP address in your web browser to access the web
console.
Navigation Panel
Main Window
The left panel is the navigation panel and contains an expandable menu tree for navigating among the various
settings and categories. When you click on a menu item in the navigation panel, the main window will display
the corresponding options for that item. Configuration changes can then be made in the main window. For
example, if you click on Network Settings in the navigation panel, the main window will show a page of basic
settings that you can configure.
You must click on the Submit button after making configuration changes. The Submit button will be located
at the bottom of every page that has configurable settings. If you navigate to another page without clicking the
Submit button, your changes will not be retained.

Overview
The Overview page contains basic information about the ioLogik E1261W-T, including the model name, serial
number, firmware version, MAC address, and current IP address. Most importantly, you can see the current I/O
status by pressing the F5 key on the computer keyboard to refresh the page.
Network Settings for the Web Console
General Settings
On the General Settings page, you can assign a server name and location to assist you in differentiating
between different ioLogik E1261W-T units. You may also configure the Modbus/TCP timeout interval or enable
the Communication Watchdog function.
Enable Server Socket Idle Connection Timeout Interval automatically disconnects the Modbus/TCP
connection from the server after a specified time period to free up the port for the next connection.
Enable Communication Watchdog activates Safe Mode when a specified period of time has passed and
there is a loss of Modbus/TCP network connectivity. Safe Mode is specially designed for products with output
channels to output a suitable value (see Chapter 3: AO Safe Mode Setting) or status (see Chapter 3: DO
Safe Mode Setting) when the ioLogik E1261W-T cannot be controlled by a remote PC (such as in the event of
a network failure). By default, the watchdog is disabled. Users can configure how each output channel responds
on the I/O Settings page.

To enable the Communication Watchdog function, select the Enable Communication Watchdog checkbox,
set the timeout value, and then restart the server. When the watchdog is enabled, the ioLogik E1261W-T will
enter Safe Mode after there is a disruption in communication that exceeds the specified time limit.
Enable I/O Locate enables remote toggling of the Ready LED from off to flashing to enable remote control
of LEDs for easier location of devices when troubleshooting.
Ethernet Configuration
On the Ethernet Configuration page, you can set up a static or dynamic IP address for the ioLogik E1261W-T,
and configure the subnet mask and gateway address.
User-Defined Modbus Addressing
The input and output address can be configured in a different format on a specific settings page. Check the
Enable User-defined Modbus Addressing box, select the Modbus function, and then configure the start
address of each item.
