Custom-Tailor I/O Mix, Bi-Directional
The OleumTech® WIO® Modular Wireless I/O System provides instant I/O connectivity and is one of the easiest and most cost-
effective solutions for solving a vast number of point-to-point I/O and stranded asset monitoring and control challenges. Each Radio
Kit can be fully customized using available 0-10 Vdc, 4-20 mA, and Digital I/O Modules. The bi-directional connectivity gives you the
flexibility to connect third-party equipment such as a PLC or RTU to either side of the radio link.
No Programming Required
Not having to learn or program any software is what makes the WIO System so easy to use. And although this system does not
require any programming, an Advanced User Interface (UI) for PCs is available to take full advantage of the entire feature set.
Through the Advanced UI, you can view and optimize RF strength; view input and output status; set analog fail-safe output values;
locally force outputs for diagnostic testing; and more.
Just Add I/O Modules
Constructing a Modular Wireless I/O System begins with a WIO Radio Kit. The Kit includes a factory-paired Radio set and all the
mounting hardware necessary for installation onto 35 mm DIN rails. Then, simply add matching pairs of I/O Modules to get just the
right mix of I/O. There are three available I/O Modules to choose from: Analog 4-20 mA, Analog 0-10 Vdc, and Digital. Each paired
Radio System provides a secure I/O link using AES encryption. You can safely and reliably run multiple radio pairs in close proximity.
Fail-Safe Output Protection
You can set the predetermined value for each output in case of an RF or I/O failure. DIP switches are used for the Digital I/O Module
to control the fail-safe output settings. The Analog I/O Modules default to 0 V or 4 mA. Advanced UI can be utilized for setting any
other desired value. The system’s RF and I/O health can be remotely monitored by tying the NPN outputs on the Radio Modules to a
third-party monitoring system.

6. RF SETUP –BEST PRACTICE
1. When setting up and installing antennas, avoid walls, tall buildings, trees, and other solid obstructions for
improving RF signal quality.
2. Having a clear line of sight between antennas is ideal for best RF signal quality.
3. Use appropriate antenna and use high quality antenna cables with the WIO System for best performance.
4. After entire system is installed, verify RF LED on Radio Module is green, which serves as indication for good RF
traffic.
5. Advanced: Run RSSI test. Connect PC to Radio Module’s mini USB port using a USB to mini USB cable and
utilize the WIO® System Advanced Software to evaluate Received Signal Strength. In general, achieving above -
85 dBm is recommended for signal quality. In an environment with low interference, 90-100% packet
throughput can be achieved at lower levels, even as low as -100 dBm.
