Baud Rate

The baud rates for the two RS-485 buses, bus 1 and bus 2 (see the faceplate of the device for

which RJ-11 jacks are for each bus), may be independently configured using the switches

on the first DIP switch, labeled S1.

Note

This parameter can also be changed using the front panel menu or Click Supervisor.

The switch patterns for the two parameters are identical, but bus 1 is configured using

switches 1–4 (S1:1–4) while bus 2 is configured using switches 5–8 (S1:5–8).

Table 3 – DIP Switch Baud Rate Settings for Bus 1 (left) and Bus 2 (right)

As these tables show, if the switches are in any configuration besides the ones laid out in the

first few rows of these tables, that bus will default to 9600 bps.

If any of the switches are on (flipped up), Hardware mode is selected, meaning the baud rate

will be configured using the DIP switches, and Click Supervisor and the front panel menu

will be able to display the current setting, but not change it. If all switches are off (down),

Software mode is selected and only Click Supervisor and the front panel menu will be able

to both display and change the current setting.

Base Channel

This parameter selects how the Click 111 maps the incoming sensor outputs to the card’s

outputs. The setting determines the starting sensor channel that will be mapped to the as-

sociated bus’s output channel 1.
