PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The TCPRS1+ is a gateway designed to convert an RS-485 physical environment to Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi. The device features a Web Server and an app, MyConfig Wifi (Android), from which the user can completely edit the configuration parameters of the device.
The device has:
6 indication LEDs.
Note: For ModbusTCP and TCP protocols, the TCPRS1+ can be queried for up to 2 Masters at the same time (maximum 5 sockets).
INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to use the device safely, personnel operating it must follow the safety measures that comply with the standards of the country where it is to be installed; operators must wear the required personal protective equipment (rubber gloves, approved facial protection and flame-resistant clothing) to prevent injuries from electric shock or arcs caused by exposure to current-carrying conductors, and they must heed the various warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
The TCPRS1+ device must be installed by authorised, qualified personnel.
The power supply plug must be disconnected and measurement systems switched off before handling, altering the connections or replacing the device. It is dangerous to handle the device while it is powered.
Cables must always be kept in perfect condition to avoid accidents or injury to personnel or installations.
The manufacturer of the device is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the user or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for damage resulting from the use of non-original products or accessories or those made by other manufacturers.
Before carrying out maintenance, repair or handling of any of the device’s connections, the device must be disconnected from all power sources, both from the device’s own power supply and the measurement’s. Contact the after-sales service if you detect that the device is not working properly.
INSTALLATION
When the device is on, its terminals, opening covers or removing elements may expose the user to parts that are hazardous to touch. Do not use the device until it is fully installed.
The device must be installed inside electric panel or enclosure, with DIN rail mounting (IEC 60715).
The device must be connected to a power circuit that is protected with gL (IEC 60269) or M class fuses with a rating of 1 to 2 A. It must be fitted with a circuit breaker or equivalent device, in order to be able to disconnect the device from the power supply network. The power and voltage measuring circuit must be connected with cables that have a minimum cross-section of 1 mm2.

COMMUNICATIONS
USAGE EN
VIRONMENT AND HEALTH
Wireless communications emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy, like other radio devices.
Because wireless communications operate under the guidelines found in radio frequency standards and recommendations, they are safe for users to use.
In some settings and situations the use of wireless communications may be restricted by the building’s owner of representatives of the organisation.
These may include:
- Use of wireless connections on board aircraft, in hospitals or near service stations, blasting areas, medical implants or electronic medical devices implanted in the human body (pacemakers, etc.).
- In any other setting where the risk of interference with other devices or services is a hazard.
If you are not sure of the applicable usage policy for wireless devices in a specific organisation (airport, hospital, etc.) we recommend requesting permission to use wireless communications.
Wi-Fi COMMUNICATIONS
Wi-Fi is one of the most widespread wireless technologies today. It is used to connect electronic devices and exchange information between them without having to connect them physically.
The TCPRS1+ devices feature Wi-Fi communications in the 2.4 GHz band, and are compliant with the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n standards.
Note: If the signal level is < 25%, it is recommended to use Ethernet communications to avoid any incidence in the data recording.
Note: The TCPRS1+ has the service Wi-Fi IP 192.168.222.1. In order to access this IP, you must first connect to the device’s Wi-Fi Access Point network (TCPRS1+-XXXX). The password corresponds to the last 8 digits of the device serial number.
MOBILE APP
The MyConfig Wifi mobile application, which allows you to configure communications, can be downloaded free of charge from Google Play (Android)
Figure 3: Mobile Application Screens.
WEB PAGE
To access the internal configuration website, the device’s IP address has to be entered into the browser address bar. The TCPRS1+ is set by default to DHCP mode.
The IP address can be obtained using the MyConfig Wifi application. The device can be identified by its MAC address using software such as Advanced IP Scanner or IP Setup Program.
To access the configuration website, open the screen shown in Figure 4 and enter the Username and Password. The default values are shown in Table 10.
Figure 4: Accessing the configuration website.

| Accessing the configuration website | |
| Username | admin |
| Password | circutor |
Note: For security reasons, you need to change the login password. You can change it on the Security screen, Figure 8.
Note: To register the device in the PSS software, the credentials defined on this website must be used.
The website of the device can be used to:
- On the Device Info screen, view the device’s information and settings for Ethernet, Wi-Fi and RS-485 communications (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Website: Device Info.
- On the Communications screen, modify the settings for Ethernet and Wi-Fi communications, as well as enable or disable the Wi-Fi Access Point network used for configuration through the MyConfig Wifi App (Figure 6)
Figure 6: Website: Communications. - On the Settings screen, edit the RS-485 communications settings (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Website: Settings. - On the Security screen (Figure 8), change the login password to the configuration website.
Figure 8: Website: Security. - On the Firmware screen, update the device’s firmware (Figure 9).
Figure 9: Website: Firmware.
When the device is updating, the CPU and Alarm LEDs flash alternately every second.
Note: After updating the device, you have to exit the web page and enter it again to avoid display problems in the browser
