Programming the PM-50
Programming Methods
There are several methods to program a PM-50. On rst power up, there is a default conguraon that
allows you to congure using the Inial Setup Wizard (also referred to as Programming Wizard). The Wizard
has two opons:
Quick Setup - This method allows you to manually congure the basic setup for Screen, Input, Output
and Wi-Fi. Aer the conguraon setup, you are directed to the HOME screen of the device.
Import Conguraon - This method allows you to import a cong.txt le from the microSD card. This le
can be exported from another PM-50. Essenally cloning that device.
Aer the Inial Setup Wizard, addional touch screen programming or changes can be done by touching
the Top right corner icon called Conguraon. You can also access the device conguraon remotely.
For remote access, you must rst setup the Wi-Fi access. Once Wi-Fi is enabled, you can program remotely
using web interface or mobile app (Android and iOS). It is also possible to import a cong.txt le saved from
another PM-50 using these remote means. An explanaon of each of these methods follows.
Note: The device allows programming either using the touchscreen or remotely.
Programming Wizard
The Programming Wizard is the inial Device Setup Wizard which appears automacally:
- when the device boots for the first time or,

2. Go to (Device) → Misc. Conguraon → Factory Conguraon → Enable Programming Wizard
and set the switch to ON.
3. Click the Apply & Exit buon, or connue on to the next pages and click the Apply buon on the nal
page.
4. At the next power cycle or reboot, the Programming Wizard will start.
5. Aer exing the Programming Wizard, it will automacally disable.
Note: Enable Programming Wizard cannot be enabled remotely using Wi-Fi through a web browser or
through the Mobile app.
The complete Programming Wizard setup details can be found here.
Wi-Fi Setup and Remote Access:
The Wi-Fi setup can be done during the Inial Setup Wizard, by imporng the conguraon from another
device, or using the Quick Setup secon.
Note: The Admin password must be enabled for Wi-Fi setup to be accessed.
1. If not using the Wizard or imporng the conguraon then, login to the device as the Admin user using
the touchscreen.
2. Go to System Conguraon → Network Conguraon → Wi-Fi Conguraon
a. Set Enable Wi-Fi to ON and click the right navigation arrow.
b. If the Admin Password is configured already, then the next page will be Wi-Fi Connection Mode. Else
“Set Admin Password” page will be loaded to configure the Admin password and proceed.
3. Set the Wi-Fi Connecon Mode to Client or Access Point based on the remote connecon requirement
as follows:
Client Mode:

the IP informaon. Otherwise, set Enable DHCP Client to OFF, then click on the right navigaon
arrow and setup the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
• Congure the Access Point SSID and Password to connect to the network for remote access.
Access Point:
• In Access Point mode, set Enable DHCP Server to ON if the user has to get the IP assigned
automacally when they connect to the device’s Access Point.

Starng Address, and Ending Address.
• The Starng and Ending Addresses are used by the DHCP Server to assign a range of IP addresses
allowed to connect to the PM-50.
• If Enable DHCP Server is OFF, then the user has to setup the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
• Set the Encrypon Mode based on the Access Point encrypon requirement
4. Once the Wi-Fi Conguraon setup is complete, turn Enable Modbus/TCP over Wi-Fi ON or OFF based
