The RS485 interface of the IOT600-TWX-TS is a standard one, and the RS485 characteristics of the
product are shown as follows:
1. The basic characteristics of RS485 transmission technology
①Network topology: Linear bus, there are active bus terminal resistors at both sides.
②Transmission rate: 1200 bps~115.2Kbps.
③Media: Shielded twisted-pair cable and also can cancel the shielding, depending on environmental
conditions (EMC).
④Site numbers: 32 stations per subsection (without repeater), and can up to 127 stations (with RS485
repeater).
⑤Plug connection: 3-pin pluggable terminal.
2. The main points on RS485 transmission equipment installation
①All the equipment are connected with RS485 bus;
②Subsection can be connected up to 32 sites;
③The farthest end of each bus has a termination resistor—120Ω 1/2W to ensure reliable operation of the
network.

When RS485 is in point to multipoint communication, in order to prevent the reflection and interference of
the signal, each of a terminal resistance is required at the farthest ends of the line, with a parameter of 120Ω 1/2W.
IOT600-TWX-TS serial port side has no parallel terminal resistance.

4 Instructions of Configuration Software
Double click the configuration software (SST-IOT-CFG) and finish the configuration of IOT600-TWX-TS
Notes: The factory setting of IOT600-TWX-TS is 192.168.0.44, If you need to change, set the mode of the
configuration switch (bit 1) to the configuration (On) and restart the IOT600-TWX-TS.at this time the IP address
of IOT600-TWX-TS is 192.168.0.10(fixed), subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and gateway address is 192.168.0.1.
Change the relevant parameters to the gateway as required, adjust the position of the dial switch to the factory
setting, and restart the gateway.
4.1 Notes before Configuring
SST-IOT-CFG is a software based on Windows platform,Before running the software, make sure the user’s
computer and IOT600-TWX-TS need to be in the same local network.

configuration according to this specification, and download the configuration to IOT600-TWX-TS;
Connect Modbus slave equipment;
4.3 Search Equipment
Before configuring parameters of IOT600-TWX-TS, users need to search the gateway using the software.
The software provides two ways to search the gateway.
4.3.1 Search All Equipment in Ethernet
Click "Search Equipment" button of the main interface, the software will search all the available
IOT600-TWX-TS equipment and list them in the main interface.
4.3.2 IP Search
Click "IP Search" button of the main interface will pop up a dialog box which demands you to input IP
address.

WWW.SSTCOMM.COM
13
After entering the correct IP address, the software will search IOT600-TWX-TS with this IP address in
the network, and list the information of the equipment in the main interface.

WWW.SSTCOMM.COM
14
Notes:If users select the "IP Search", users need to enter correct IP address or it will not search equipment.
4.4 Configuration
Select the equipment to be configured in the list, and the "Locate", "Configuration", "Remote Reset", "New",
"Open" and "Save" buttons will become available:
Click "Configuration" button,The following window is popped out:
