1.2 Characteristics of the MIQ/WL PS modules

1.2.1 General characteristics

With the aid of the MIQ/WL PS modules you can replace the
IQ SENSORNET line sections by radio links. If you use two MIQ/WL PS
modules, a simple IQ SENSORNET radio network develops. The
IQ SENSORNET is extended by an IQ SENSORNET island (Fig. 1-2).

Island 1 (Power) (Power) Island 2

Fig. 1-2 Structure of a radio link with MIQ/WL PS modules

The MIQ/WL PS SET includes two MIQ/WL PS modules

preconfigured for immediate use.

Radio network An existing radio network of MIQ/WL PS modules can very easily be
extended by adding another MIQ/WL PS module. Thus another
IQ SENSORNET island develops.

The maximum number of radio links within a radio network is limited by

the spatial conditions (visual contact, minimum and maximum space
between the MIQ/WL PS modules).

You can operate up to eight radio networks in the vicinity of each other.

Radio technology The antennas of the MIQ/WL PS modules are omni-antennas without
directivity. The transmission is done in the 2.4 GHz ISM band with the
frequency hopping procedure.

Power supply To supply an IQ SENSORNET island with power, a power supply unit is
integrated in the MIQ/WL PS. It can supply components with a total
power consumption of up to 7 watt, which is sufficient for most applica-
tions. The power supply unit of the MIQ/WL PS can be supplied with
line power or with 24 V.

6 ba76179e01 10/2015
MIQ/WL PS Overview

Additionally the power can also be supplied via the IQ SENSORNET with
the aid of an MIQ/PS module.

Terminal strip The MIQ/WL PS has the following electrical connections on the termi-
nal strip inside the enclosure:
 1 x line power connection 100 ... 240 VAC, two-pole
 1 x line power connection 24 VDC, two-pole
 3 x SENSORNET connections

 Flame resistant (cable and lines),
compliant with the following regulations
– UL 2556 VW-1 (for USA, Canada)
– IEC 60332-1-2 (outside the USA, Canada)

3.3 Basic principles of installation

3.3.1 General information

The MIQ/WL PS radio modules in the MIQ/WL PS SET are preconfig-

ured in pairs and ready for installation. Installation consists only of the
connection to the IQ SENSORNET.

This chapter describes the installation of one radio link in

the IQ SENSORNET system. If several radio links should be
installed, the instructions in the appendix of this operating
manual have to be followed additionally.

To prevent the radio transmission from being affected by

water or snow collecting on the antenna, we urgently rec-
ommend protecting the MIQ/WL PS radio modules against
precipitation with the aid of a plastic canopy (SSH/IQ).

3.3.2 Power supply

The line power supply unit of the MIQ/WL PS can be used for the exclu-
sive supply of an IQ SENSORNET island. The line power supply unit of
the MIQ/WL PS provides 7 watts. Thus it can be used to operate the
following components, for example:

Component Power requirement

[W]
IFL® 700 IQ 3.0
MIQ/TC 2020 XT (docked temporarily) 3.0
For installations with greater power requirements, further MIQ power
supply modules are required for the power supply (see system operat-
ing manual).

3.3.3 Topology and terminator switch

For failure-free operation, the terminator switches (terminating resis-

12 ba76179e01 10/2015
MIQ/WL PS Installation

tors) must always be set to ON on two MIQ modules of the

IQ SENSORNET island. On which modules this is required results from
the topology of the IQ SENSORNET island (for details see system oper-
ating manual of the IQ SENSORNET).
Additional terminating An additional terminating resistor is only required if, except in the MIQ/
resistor on the MIQ/ WL PS, no other terminator switch is available on the IQ SENSORNET
WL PS island. The terminating resistor is connected to one of the three SEN-
SORNET connectors (Fig. 3-1). The terminating resistor must bridge
the two outside terminals of the SENSORNET connector. The SEN-
SORNET connector can still be used to connect a sensor.

3.3.4 Configuration of the MIQ/WL PS modules

To enable wireless communication of the MIQ/WL PS modules, the

MIQ/WL PS modules have to be configured to meet the following
requirements:

 All MIQ/WL PS modules that should communicate with each other

have to be in one radio network with the same radio network num-
ber. Radio network numbers from 1 to 8 can be configured.
 Within a radio network of a radio network number, exactly one MIQ/
WL PS module has to be configured as the master. All other MIQ/

ba76179e01 10/2015 13
Installation MIQ/WL PS

WL PS modules have to be configured as slaves.

The MIQ/WL PS SET includes two MIQ/WL PS modules

preconfigured for immediate use.
The radio network number 1 is preconfigured for both mod-
ules. One module is configured as master, one as slave.
Thus both modules can immediately communicate with
each other if they are installed correctly.

The number of MIQ/WL PS modules configured as slaves in a radio

network is limited only by the spatial conditions.

If in the vicinity a second MIQ/WL PS module should be operated as

master, it has to be operated as master in a radio network with a differ-
ent radio network number.

The MIQ/WL PS module is configured with coding switches in the MIQ/

WL PS module.

LEDs inside the MIQ/WL PS module indicate the current state of the
module.

Encoding
1 If the MIQ/WL PS module is already in operation:
Set the IQ SENSORNET to a safe state as necessary.
2 Disconnect the MIQ/WL PS module from the power supply.
3 Open the enclosure.
4 Use s small, sharp object to set the coding switches on the
radio PCB (coding table see below).

Maximum distance master - slave: 100 m
(during radio interferences the maximum distance possible is less)

Radio range The range of a radio link with MIQ/WL PS SET in the free field is up to
100 m with installation and testing according to this chapter (see chap-
ter 6 TECHNICAL DATA).

As with any other radio technology, the following points have to be

observed when installing the MIQ/WL PS (SET):
 All materials (even window glass) in the radio link reduce the range.
Therefore, keep the radio link free of barriers (even temporary
ones). All MIQ/WL PS modules configured as slaves should have
permanent "visual contact" through the air to the MIQ/WL PS mod-
ule in their radio network configured as master. Take into account
that there may be short-time events such as trucks driving by that
interrupt the radio link.
 Water, snow and ice on the antenna will reduce the range. When it
is installed in the free field, protect the MIQ/WL PS against water,
snow and ice. Use the plastic canopy SSH/IQ for this.
Canopies made out of metal or PVC reduce the range!
 A high location of the MIQ/WL PS modules increases the range. If

ba76179e01 10/2015 17

necessary, install the MIQ/WL PS higher over ground.

 On a rotating bridge, install the MIQ/WL PS module as near to the

center support as possible. Thus the change of the distance of the
modules is kept to a minimum.
 Install the MIQ/WL PS modules where the mentioned requirements
are met best and establish the connection to the IQ SENSORNET
island.
 Mount the MIQ/WL PS module outside of a building on a pole and
run the SNCIQ cable through the wall to the next MIQ module.

Fig. 3-6 InstallationMIQ/WL PS

When installing several radio links:

Note the configuration of the individual MIQ/WL PS mod-
ules as "master" or "slave" and which radio network 1 - 8
they belong to (see section 3.3.4).
Mount each MIQ/WL PS module with a minimum distance
of 5 m to the next MIQ/WL PS module. This distance has to
be kept independent of the configuration and usage of the
MIQ/WL PS modules.

Radio link check list For safe operation of a radio link, check the system with the following
check list.
The following checklist supports you when planning, projecting and
installing a radio link with the MIQ/WL PS radio modules.
For smooth operation, you should be able to answer all questions with
"Yes".

ba76179e01 10/2015 19
Installation MIQ/WL PS

Radio link check list:

1 Is the distance of all MIQ/WL PS modules at least 5 m at any
time?
2 Is there direct visual contact between the antennas of both
MIQ/WL PS modules at any time (e.g. with installation on mov-
ing scraper bridges)?
3 Is the radio link free from permanent disturbances? Examples:
– Obstacles (such as buildings, windows, etc.)
– Shielding (such as a metal or PVC canopy)
4 Is the radio link free from temporary disturbances? Examples:
– Regular temporary disturbances (e.g. center support or
mounting stand, with installation on a moving scraper
bridge)
– Irregular temporary disturbances (e.g. vehicles or persons
crossing the radio link)
5 Was the signal quality checked (see section 5.1.1, MIQ-WL In-
fo)?
6 Are the antennas of the MIQ/WL PS modules free of water,
snow, ice?
7 When using a canopy:
Is the SSH/IQ plastic canopy used
(no metal or PVC canopy)?
8 With installation on a moving scraper bridge:
Was the signal quality checked for a complete rotation of the
moving scraper bridge (see section 5.1.1, MIQ-WL Info)?

Interferences are possible also with short radio links if the

radio signal is reflected by walls that are outside the direct
radio link. Due to reflections, radio signals may reach the
receiver alleviated.
In this case, even changing the location of a MIQ/WL PS
module only slightly can improve the transmission.

3.5 Installation in the IQ SENSORNET

The IQ SENSORNET provides a number of options for integrating the
MIQ/WL PS mechanically and electrically in the system (stacked
mounting, distributed mounting, etc.). The individual types of installa-
tion are described in detail in the INSTALLATION chapter of the system
operating manual.

If there are several power supply modules in the

IQ SENSORNET, it is helpful if all the power supply modules
are connected to a single power supply. As a result, the
system can be easily switched on and off from a single
location.

3.6 Electrical connections: General instructions

Cable glands All electric cables are fed from below through prepared openings in the
enclosure of the MIQ/WL PS. Cable glands with different clamping
ranges are provided with the MIQ/WL PS to provide sealing between
the cable and enclosure as well as for strain relief. Select the suitable
cable gland for the respective cable diameter:
 Small, clamping range 4.5 to 10 mm. This cable gland is suitable for
all IQ SENSOR NET cables.

Sealing ring 20 x 15 x 1 mm

Cable gland M16

Blind plug

 Large, clamping range 7 to 13 mm. This cable gland is required for

cable sheaths with an outer diameter of more than 10 mm and is
screwed into the enclosure via an extension piece.

Sealing ring 24 x 19 x 2 mm

Cable gland M20

If necessary, you can order additional large cable glands as

a set of 4 pieces (model EW/1, order number 480 051).

General installation Observe the following points when attaching connecting wires to the
instructions terminal strip:
 Shorten all the wires to be used to the length required for the instal-
lation
 Always fit all the ends of the wires with wire end sleeves before con-
necting them to the terminal strip
 Any wires that are not used and project into the enclosure must be
cut off as closely as possible to the cable gland.
 In each of the remaining free openings, screw in a small cable gland
with sealing ring and close them with a blind plug.

WARNING
No free wires must be allowed to project into the enclosure. Oth-
erwise, there is a danger that areas safe to contact could come
into contact with dangerous voltages. This could result in life
threatening electric shock when working with the IQ SENSORNET.
Always cut off any wires that are not in use as closely as possible
to the cable gland.

3.7 Connecting the voltage supply

The following two sections need only be observed if the IQ SENSORNET
island should be supplied with power by the MIQ/WL PS.
