1. Network Diagram
Connect an iR-ETN coupler and a PC to a router with Ethernet cables. The IP address of iR-ETN is set to
192.168.0.212 by default. To change the IP address of the iR-ETN, using EasyRemoteIO utility is necessary.
On the PC, right-click on Ethernet adapter of the PC and select properties. You can set your PC to static IP
mode from [Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IP V4] » [General] tab. Select “Use the following IP address”
and set up a valid and non-conflicting IP address. This IP address must be configured in the same subnet,
such as 192.168.0.200.
Launch EasyRemote IO. The [Automatic scan] icon can scan all iR-ETN couplers located in this subnet.
Click on [Scan] button to start. The available couplers will be displayed on this dialog.

Once the iR-ETN is found, go to [Online] » [Change IP]. Enter a new static IP address and a sub mask.
Click [Automatic scan] again, and the iR-ETN will be found with the specified IP address.
Set back the IP address of the iR-ETN to DHCP mode. Now all the devices are configured in the same subnet.
The current network will be similar to the below diagram.

2. Power Consumption
The iR-ETN coupler supplies power for each connected IO module. To avoid the power requirements
exceeding the power supply, you can calculate how much power is required from your IO modules.
Type
Model Name
Consumption(5V)
Power Supply(5V)
Coupler
iR‐ETN
220mA/1.1w
2A/10w
Digital I/O

130mA/0.65w
iR‐DM16‐N
130mA/0.65w
iR‐DQ08‐R
220mA/1.1w
iR‐DQ16‐N
205mA/1.02w
iR‐DQ16‐P
196mA/0.984w
iR‐DI16‐K
83mA/0.418w
Analog IO

65mA/0.325w
iR-AI04-VI
70mA/0.35W
iR-AM06-VI
70mA/0.35W
iR-AI04-TR
65mA/0.325w
Power consumption: 220 + 964=1184mA
Power supply: 2000mA
Supply > Consumption
Power is enough to supply all the IO modules.
130+130+220+205+196+83
=964
220mA

The power consumption can be known by selecting [iR-ETN] » [Parameter] tab.
[Current Power Consumption]- indicates the power consumed by each module and coupler.
[Power Consumption] - indicates the power consumption of the selected device.
If power is not sufficient, the error will be displayed on the Log message window.

3. EasyRemoteIO
EasyRemote I/O is a utility used for setting up iR-ETN coupler and IO module connected to iR-ETN, which
includes changing the IP address of the iR-ETN, setting parameters, monitoring IOs, turn on outputs, and
changing analog values.
Device list- Lists available iR-ETN couplers. The IO module can be selected under each iR-ETN once
connected.
Device information- It includes [IO /modules] tab, [Address] tab, and [Parameter] tab.
[IO /modules] tab- can monitor the status of IOs, toggle bits, and write analog values.
[Address map] tab- displays Modbus mapping table for IOs.
[Parameter] tab- lists the available parameters.
Log message- displays logs and errors.
Note: In this user manual, EasyRemoteIO version 1.2.0.13 is used.

Tool Name Descriptions
Export tag Exports tags which maps to Modbus address.
Rename Changes name of the modules or couplers.
Change IP Changes IP address of couplers.
Special command Sends special command to a coupler or module.
Modbus Runs a Modbus TCP/IP master on the PC.
User defined Temp. table This function will be available if IR-AI04-TR module is used.

Export tag
This tool allows you to export tags to .CSV file for reference. This CSV file can be imported to EasyBuilder
pro and deploy tags.
In EasyRemoteIO, go to [File] » [Export tag]. Then navigate to a folder you want to save the CSV files. The
number of couplers in this project determines the number of CSV files generated by EasyRemoteIO.
The CSV file describes tag name, address type defined by EasyBuilder pro, and Modbus starting address.
In Easybuilder pro, go to [System Parameters] and add the “Weintek Remote IO( Modbus TCP IP)” driver.
Click on [Import Tags] to import the CSV file.

Rename
This tool allows you to change the name of modules and couplers for identifying devices.
In EasyRemoteIO, select a module or coupler you want to rename. Go to [Edit] » [Rename].
Enter a new name and click OK button.
Special command
This tool allows you to send special commands to a coupler or module, such as reset to factory default.
In EasyRemoteIO, go to [Online] » [Special Commands]. The available special command will be displayed.
Select a command and click [Start].
