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.

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.

6. Module Register
Each analog module has its module registers (parameters). The parameters may vary based on the analog IO
modules you have. The available parameters can be known by selecting [Parameter] tab.
To read and write these parameters via Modbus protocol, you need to know their Modbus addresses.
The starting register of slot #1 IO module is 20000. The number words of the parameters are 500.
The starting registers of the following modules are 20000 + (slot number -1) * 500
