Data Enable
Also on this switch is the data enable parameter. This is configured on the third DIP switch,
labeled S3, using switches 6–8 (S3:6–8).
Note
This parameter can also be changed using the front panel menu or Click Supervisor.
This group of DIP switches determines whether the data buses are enabled to receive con-
tact closure data. Each bus can be independently enabled or disabled.
This parameter may be useful if you know a bus will not be receiving any data—for instance,
if you’re only using one sensor with your Click 111. If a bus is disabled from receiving data,
then its associated channels will not go into a fault state, even if that bus is not receiving
any data.
Note
If you’ve disabled a bus from receiving data, you can still use it to configure the card
using Click Supervisor.

Table 6 – DIP Switch Data Enable Settings
Dashes in the table indicate that the state of those switches don’t affect that particular set-
ting.
If switch 6 is on (flipped up), Hardware mode is selected, meaning that the data enable pa-
rameter 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 switch 6 is 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.
