4 Hardware Setup Digital and Process Input Wiring The Layer N SS-015 accepts digital and process inputs through its M12 5-Pin connector. Users connecting wires directly to the SS-015 may refer to the wiring diagram provided below: Process/Analog Digital Mixed Mode Excitation Power Excitation Power Excitation Power...
6 SYNC Configuration Layer N Smart devices are easily configurable through Omega’s SYNC configuration software. Ensure SYNC is running on a Windows OS computer before continuing. Connect the SS-015 to a computer running SYNC using a micro-USB 2.0 cable. Note: SYNC is available to download for free on the Omega website.
• Parity: A means of checking the correctness of a character by adding an extra bit to the character and setting the value based on all the other bits in the character. • StopBits: The number of bits used to indicate the end of the character. When the user has completed setting the communication parameters for the device, click Finish.
6.3.2 Digital Inputs Interface In digital inputs mode, the SS-015 accepts digital pulse inputs and may be configured to monitor the on/off state of the input signals, the pulse rate or pulse duty cycle of the primary input, the up/down count of the primary input, or the pulse delay between two signals.
6.3.2.1 Pulse measurements Pulse measurements include Digital Input (DIN), Frequency (RATE), Pulse Width (WIDTH), Duty Cycle (DUTY), Phase Delay Between Pulse Inputs (DELAY), Up Counter/Totalizer (COUNT), and Up/Down Counter/Totalizer (UP/DOWN COUNT). All measurements are derived from signal transitions and an internal 32.768 kHz time reference.
Page 13
The Duty Cycle (DUTY) setting measures the percentage of time a pulse is active (high) over the total period of the signal. The duty cycle measurement allows reading the input from PWM control signals. Duty Cycle = X / Y % Figure 12: Duty cycle example The Phase Delay (DELAY) mode measures the delay time in msec between the rising edges of Pulse A and Pulse B inputs.
Page 14
The Up/Down Counter/Totalizer (UP/DOWN COUNT) mode counts the number of rising edges until the Reset input is activated. Additionally, the direction of the counter may be controlled using the Direction input (Pin 4) so that it counts up when Active and down when Inactive. Note the Direction input replaces the functionality of the Enable input.

6.3.2.1.1 Input Configuration Diagrams The digital pulse input pins can be independently set to either have an internal 1.5k Pull Up (PU) or Pull Down (PD) and can be set to be either Active High or Active Low by selecting Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) in the SYNC input configuration interface.
The DIN 0 / Pulse A input pin may also be configured for low-level mV input signals. The four selectable ranges determine the turn-on threshold (TH) and the turn-off threshold (TL) which are used to set the ACTIVE level of the digital input.
The table below shows the binary-weighted values for the 2-bit Digital Input (DIN) function in mixed mode. Input 1 Input 0 Reading Inactive Inactive Inactive Active Active Inactive Active Active 6.3.3.2 Process Inputs (Mixed Mode) The following process input configuration options are available in mixed input mode: 4-20 mA current loop, 0-1.0 V voltage input, 0-2.0 V voltage input.
6.3.4 Advanced Scaling The Layer N SS-015 allows for advanced scaling options on process and pulse inputs only. The Advanced Scaling checkbox can be selected to expand additional configuration options. A gain and/or offset can be applied to the input reading and the displayed unit can be changed. To apply a gain or offset to the input, expand the Scaling menu and ensure that Apply Scaling is checked.
6.3.5 Setting an Alarm Alarms are set by clicking the icon in SYNC on the desired input signal found in the Input Tab. Figure 20: SYNC alarm configuration interface Configure the Condition that triggers the alarm by selecting an option from the drop down such as Above, Below, Outside the Range, or Within the Range.
Device Settings: The Device Settings tab allows users to configure various features on the SS-015 such as saving and loading configuration presets, performing a factory reset of the device, firmware updates, changing between Low Power and High Power mode, and more. 6.4.1 Radio Control –...
7 Connecting to your Layer N Gateway The SS-015 easily connects to a Layer N Gateway with a one-button pairing feature. Follow the instructions below: Pairing Button LED Status Indicator Figure 23: SS-015 without top cover Step 1: Push the pairing button once on your SS-015. The LED Status Indicator will blink green repeatedly indicating it is Pairing Mode.
9 Appendix: SS-015 Registers The following Appendix provides the registers and list index for the Layer N SS-015 Smart Sensor. This information is intended to aid users who will be making configurations and adjustments to their Layer N SS-015 Smart Sensor through the Command Line Interface or other custom interfaces.
