How would I enable or disable the WAN using a digital input?
Based off the connector pinout on page 34 of the manual, I’m currently wired into DI1.
Assuming your device is currently setup and configured, you will need to start by creating a tag (configuration / tag setup). The tag will be a boolean type that uses the server name EWON and the address will be the Input you are currently using.
Once this tag is created, we just need to create a script in the BASIC IDE (main menu / configuration / basic IDE)
In the Basic IDE, go to the Init section.
You will copy and paste the following code:
ONCHANGE "Switch","goto DoSwitch"
Add a new section called DoSwitch by clicking the add button
Copy and paste the following code into this new section:
DoSwitch:
If (Switch@=1) Then
rem Open Internet connection
Setsys COM,"load"
Setsys COM,"WANCnx","2"
Setsys COM,"WANPermCnx","1"
Setsys COM,"save"
Print Time$;" Connection opened"
else
rem Close Internet connection
Setsys COM,"load"
Setsys COM,"WANCnx","0"
Setsys COM,"save"
Print Time$;" Connection closed"
endif
