Preparing the SmartSensor
In addition to wiring the SmartSensor to the Click 111, you must also make sure that the
SmartSensor is configured correctly. Because the Click 111 device receives serial datagrams
from the sensor, the sensor must be configured to report data properly for each application.
This may include loop emulation settings and/or output channel configuration.
Fault State
The Click 111 receives datagrams from the connected SmartSensor, and it’s looking for
datagrams containing detection data that’s intended for one of its output channels. If a bus
does not receive such a datagram for ten seconds, it will go into a fault state. (The fault time-
out can be changed using Click Supervisor software, as will be discussed later in this guide.)
Each data bus can go into a fault state independently. The state of the output channels, when
they are in fault, can be configured as either a call or a no call.
If either of the buses go into a fault state then the master fault will be asserted. The card has
one master fault indicator (the blue LED on the faceplate of the device) and an associated
output on the back connector. You can disable failsafe for the whole card if you desire.
Configuration
The Click 111 can be configured in three ways: DIP switches, the front panel menu, and
Click Supervisor.
These three different configuration methods can configure different sets of options; some of
these parameters can be set using multiple configuration methods, and some of them can
only be set using one particular method. Table 2 lists how each parameter may be accessed
and configured.
