Click 500
The Click 500 is a user-programmable contact closure platform for virtually any applica-
tion. For example, the Click 500 can be programmed to activate a contact closure output
when vehicles over a specified speed and length are detected. To accelerate development,
the Click 500 will provide developers with SmartSensor V communication drivers.
For a full description of each module and other contact closure options, see the Support
page of the Wavetronix website. Or contact your authorized Wavetronix dealer or Wavetro-
nix Technical Services for more information.
Programming Sensors for Contact Closures
The Click 100 supports baud rates from 9600 to 57600 bps. When using a Click 100, make
sure your SmartSensor V is set to operate at a baud rate in this range.
The Click 500 modules support baud rates from 9600 to 115200 bps. Any special program-
ming of SmartSensor for an application running on the Click 500 will be explained in the
documentation for that application.
Tip
The SmartSensor V default loop size and spacing will change the values of SmartSen-
sor V data. The default loop size is used in the calculation of lane occupancy, vehicle
duration and vehicle length. The default loop spacing is used in the calculation of vehicle
speed and length. The Click 100 uses these settings to change the duration and spacing
of contact closures signaled on their output pins. If your SmartSensor V is connected to
a contact closure device and you are also retrieving data serially, first adjust the default
loop size and spacing to match the inductive loop setup that you're trying to emulate,
then adjust the individual lane size and spacing values used to calculate the per lane
scale factors.
Programming Contact Closures
The contact closure modules have several modes of operation explained in their respective
quick-start guides and user manuals. Consult this documentation to determine the mode
appropriate for your application. This documentation will explain how to program each
mode.
