Overview

Moxa’s AWK-1121 WLAN Client is ideal for applications that are hard to

wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that connects over

a TCP/IP network. The AWK-1121 is rated to operate at temperatures

ranging from 0 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for extended

temperature models, and is rugged enough for any harsh industrial

environment. Installation is easy, with either DIN-Rail mounting or

distribution boxes. The DIN-Rail mounting ability, wide operating

temperature range, and IP30 housing with LED indicators make the

AWK-1121 a convenient yet reliable solution for any industrial wireless

application.

Mounting Dimensions

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back

panel of the AWK-1121 when you take it out of the box. If you need to

reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-1121, make sure the

stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures

below.

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN

-Rail into

the slot just

below the stiff metal

spring.

STEP 2:

The DIN

-Rail attachment unit will

snap into place as shown below.

To remove the AWK-1121 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and

- 5 -

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the

AWK-1121 to a wall, as illustrated below.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum

DIN

-Rail attachment plate

from the

AWK-1121, and

then attach the

wall mount

plates with M3 screws, as

shown in the adjacent

diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the

AWK-1121 to a wall requires 4 screws.

Use the

AWK-1121 device, with wall mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of

the 4 screws. The heads

of the screws should be less

than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the

shafts should be less

than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the

right.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to

allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the

screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into

one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates

before it is screwed into the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed into

the wall, insert the four screw

heads through the large opening

of the keyhole

-shaped

apertures, and then slide the

AWK

-1121 downwards, as

indicated to the right. Tighten

the four screws for added

stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or

wiring your Moxa AWK-1121.

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the

maximum current allowed for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could

overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following items:

•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power

wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are

perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in

the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different

signal characteristics should be routed separately.

•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to

determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is

that wiring with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled

together.

•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system

when necessary.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit

marked

“Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 12 to 48 VDC

, minimum

7.7 W (12 V/0.55 A to 48V/0.16 A), 25°C.

ATTENTION

Make sure

the external power adapto

r (includes power cords and

plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable

for use in your country.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-1121

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the

ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The 4-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-1121’s top panel is

used for the AWK-1121’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of the

terminal block connector are shown here.

Top View

Front View

STEP 1:

Insert the negative/positive DC wires

into the

V-/V+ terminals.

STEP 2:

To keep the DC wires from pulling

loose,

use a small flat

-blade screwdriver to

tighten the

wire

-clamp screws on the front of the terminal

block connector.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal block

receptor, which is

located on the AWK-1121’s t

panel.

ATTENT

ION

Before connecting the

AWK-1121

to the DC power inputs, make

sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Communication Connections

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the AWK-1121’s front panel are

used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.

Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X

(HUB/Switch-type) ports.

RS-232 Connection

The AWK-1121 has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the

top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect

the Moxa AWK-1121’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then

use a console terminal program to access the AWK-1121 for console

configuration.
