3. Functional description
3.1 Operating principle
WID511 receives data from Vaisala wind sensors, using RS‑485/RS‑232 or Ethernet
connection.
To ensure uninterrupted data flow, several displays can be connected in parallel when using
RS‑485/RS‑232 connection, or connected in a parallel LAN bus. If one of the displays fails,
the other displays continue to display data.
The operation of the display is determined by the display configuration.
