IGWiPS200-1
Each transceiver and each I/O Expansion module has bus connectors on both sides of its cover: a male connector on
one side, a female connector on the other. A transceiver and several I/O Expansion modules can be physically
interconnected by way of their bus connectors and then snapped onto a section of DIN rail as a single unit. These
bus connectors carry signal, power, and ground connections between the interconnected devices.
An easy to use wireless network Configurator is available at the Siemens Internet site to help you select remote
transceivers and I/O expansion modules. A master transceiver and one remote transceiver are the configuration
starting point. When adding an I/O module to a remote transducer, the complementary module is automatically
added to the master transceiver. For example, adding an 8-Channel Digital Input Module to a remote transceiver will
cause an 8-Channel Digital Output Module to be automatically added to the master transceiver. The online
Configurator totals the number of I/O Expansion modules and displays a warning if the maximum quantity is
exceeded.

A WiPS Series 200 transceiver is a frequency hopping spread spectrum radio designed for professional installation
and integration with other products. When installed with an approved antenna and cable, the system integrator needs
to make sure that the unit’s FCC label is clearly visible on the outside of the integrated product. WiPS is approved
within the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band under 47CFR15.247 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
Frequency hopping spread spectrum technology was originally developed by the U.S. military to prevent
interference or interception of radio transmissions on the battlefield. Frequency hopping devices concentrate their
full power into a very narrow signal and randomly hop from one frequency to another within a designated frequency
band. If they encounter interference on a particular frequency, the devices error-check the affected data, hop to
another point on the spectrum, and resume communications on subsequent hops. Since there are always spaces
without interference somewhere in the allotted radio spectrum, a frequency hopping device will use those spaces to
complete a transmission. IMPORTANT
