50 Operating the Controller
Ethernet Power Control
The Ethernet port on the DataSite controller board consumes power.
If the controller does not connect with an equipment through Ethernet port,
controller can shut the Ethernet port to conserve power. This feature is
particularly useful when the DataSite controller is using solar power.
The enable/disable status of Ethernet port power is set by the DS Settings or
DS FloConfig configuration tool. The application programming may change
the enable/disable status. For details, refer to the DataSite Software User
Manual, publication
1758-UM002 .
The Ethernet port power provides power for Ethernet port if enabled.
Counter Input Filters
Each of the three counter inputs on the DataSite controller can be filtered.
Filtering limits the maximum digital input or counter frequency to
approximately 30 Hz. Pulse inputs use filters to resolve the problems of
contact bounce in low speed counting applications.
The FILTER 1, FILTER2, and FILTER3 switches control the input filter
functions:
• Remove the module cover and set the configuration switches. For the
location of the switch, see Upper Board on page 24 .
• To disable a filter, slide the switch to the right.
• To enable a filter, slide the switch to the left.
The default setting of these filters is Disabled.
