Using The Control Bus To Configure The Sensors; Using The T-Bus - Wavetronix Click 65 Series User Manual

each jack is an LED that illuminates when the associated sensor
has power. (The power switch and LED light apply to the desig-
nated sensor, whether or not the associated RJ-11 jack is being
utilized for contact closure connections.)

Using the control bus to configure the sensors

The lower portion of the front faceplate has multiple ports that
make up the physical interface of the control bus. These ports
allow you to configure any sensors connected to the Click 65x.
All control ports provide the same capability of connecting to any
of the sensors—the selection of which port to use is entirely up to
you. Control ports will NOT automatically receive the event data
pushed out from attached sensors, although Control ports can be
used to send protocol commands to attached sensors and receive
the response.
As mentioned earlier, the following port options are available:
One DB-9 port for communicating via RS-232
˿
Two RJ-11 jacks for communicating via RS-485
˿
One USB mini-B connector
˿
One T-bus port for connecting to a T-bus
˿

Using the T-bus

Use of the T-bus for power and communication is not strictly nec-
essary as the Click 65x provides all basic necessary functions.
However, if T-bus connectivity is desired, follow the following
guidelines:
Assemble and install the T-bus on a DIN rail somewhere in the
1
cabinet.
Find five wires (or a cable) that will reach from the shelf to the
2
T-bus; strip the ends of each wire.
Insert each wire into one of the screw terminals on a T-bus
3
5-position connector. The terminals are all labeled for your
ease.
Insert the other end of each wire into a second 5-position
4
connector.
Plug one connector into the T-bus port on the Click 65x; plug
5
the other into the end of the T-bus.
Chapter 2: Hardware and Installation Details
Note. Sensor
configuration can
also be done directly
through Ethernet
when the Click 65x is
connected to a local
network—potentially
a more convenient
alternative to using
these control
ports for sensor
configuration.
