Giesen WxA

This page walks you through to integrate Giesen WxA (W1A, W6A, W6 PRO, W15A, W30A, W60A, W140A) with Firescope.

1. (Very Important) Check Roaster Compatibility

The supported models include WxA (W1A, W6A, W15A, etc) . Your roaster must have a LAN port or the control tower as shown in the image below.

2. Preparation and Network Configuration

Materials needed

A 'cross LAN cable' is required for connecting to a Giesen roaster. Standard direct LAN cable will not work.

Network Configuration

Configure the network for the relevant operating system.

3. Configuring Firescope

1. In Firescope, go to the 'Machine' menu and click the 'Create' button.

2. Enter a nickname to easily identify your roasting machine.

3. Select the appropriate preset from the 'Preset' select box based on the instructions below.

Choosing the correct Giesen roaster preset:

If you have entered a Cropster code into the Giesen roaster for decimal integration, select Giesen WxA+preset.

If no Cropster code is used, select Giesen WxApreset for integration.

1. In the IP configuration table above, find your model and enter the matching Firescope IP. The port should remain at 102 unless you have specific instructions to change it.

1. If the setup is completed, you should start receiving temperature and sensor data within 10 seconds.

If the connection isn't working correctly, try the follow troubleshooting:

• Double-check the IP address to ensure it was entered correctly.

• Verify that the LAN cable connected to the PC is properly recognized; unplug and replug it if necessary.

• For Giesen WxA (decimal) preset, try switching to the 'Giesen WxA' preset instead. Also, if any settings were manually adjusted, ensure they are correct.

If you need help connecting Giesen WxA, please contact Firescope for assistance.
