X-600M Users Manual Setup Pages
4.3 Devices Tab
The X-600M controls and monitors I/O found on other ControlByWeb devices such as WebRelay,
WebRelay-Quad, X-310, X-320, etc. These devices can be located anywhere in the world that is
connected to the Internet. The X-600M does not have any built in I/O, but local I/O can be added by
adding devices to the expansion bus and universal serial bus (USB). Currently these devices include the
X-11s (2-Relay), X-12s (8-Relay), X-13s (Thermocouple), X-15s (8-Digital Input), X-16s (8-Analog Input)
and X-17s (4-Relay 4-Digital Input), and USB to Serial Port adapters using FTDI chips. Between the
Ethernet devices, expansion devices, and USB devices, the I/O capability of the X-600M can be
extended to meet the needs of many different applications.
Before devices and expansion devices can be used with the X-600M they must first be registered with
the X-600M. This is done under the Devices menu tab. Each device is shown in a separate line. For a
new X-600M the display will only show one device: device1 (the X-600M itself). Depending on your
preference, you can change the sorting order of the rows by clicking the ▲▼ symbols at the top of a
column.
Once devices are shown in the Device List, you can identify expansion modules during installation, click
the Identify button of a specific device. The X-600M will send a blink command to the respective
expansion module which will cause its power LED to blink for three seconds. Having identified a specific
device, you will want to enter a distinctive Name and Description for the device.
To add a new device, click the Add New Device button.
The editor (shown below) will appear. The settings for existing devices can be viewed or edited by
clicking the appropriate Edit icon. Use this editor to add both Ethernet-enabled ControlByWeb devices
and expansion bus devices.
