Function
Description
Function whereby the WDT transmits the status of the
signal tower wirelessly to the WDR. There are two
transmission modes for the transmission:
• Immediate transmission mode
Send immediately after the status of the signal tower
changes.
• Request transmission mode
Send only after receiving a signal tower status
request from the host PC.
This function is for selecting one of two types of signal
tower information, Extended Format or Standard Format.
Select using a DIP switch.
• Extended Format
Sets up six types of signal tower information.
• Standard Format
Format compatible with WDT-5E-Z2 and
WDT-6M-Z2.
Sets up five types of signal tower information.
When a transmission failure occurs between the signal
tower signal input and the actual transmission, this
function temporarily retains the transmission information in
the WDT.
Function that automatically connects the WDT over the
optimum communication route to the WDR for transmitting
the information.
By using a pulse input on a single signal wire, count up the
number of pulse inputs (increment 1 at a time) and store
the accumulated value (count) on the WDT.
 The count is sent only when a request is received
from the host PC.

You can use WDS-WIN01 (1.02 or later) to clear the
count to zero.
There are two ways to select the counter signal wire:
"Using a DIP switch on the unit" (selection fixed as blue)
and "Using WDS-WIN01" (any selection).
