Mount the Click 500
The Click 500 has two basic modes: program and run. The device must be in
program mode in order to be programmed, and it must be in run mode in
order to function normally. These modes are set using the DIP switches on the
side of the device. For ease, it’s best to set the DIP switches before mounting
the Click 500.
The two sets of DIP switches are found on the side of the device. Program
and run mode are set using the 6th switch of DIP switch 1. Put the device in
program mode by putting this switch into the ON position.
Note. Once you’re done developing your application, you need to put the
device in run mode (put switch 1:6 in the OFF position) for it to run properly.
Now mount the Click 500 on the desktop stand, if you have
one (see the Introduction to this guide for more information).
The desktop stand’s DIN rail may have both green and gray
T-bus connectors; mount the Click 500 onto one of the green
T-bus connectors, as gray connectors will not pass communi-
cations:
1 If the Click 500 was shipped with the T-bus connector
attached, remove the connector from the module.
2 Position the Click 500 properly over the T-bus connector
on the DIN rail (as shown at right), hook the lip over the
lower edge of the DIN rail, and use a rocking motion to
snap the module into place.
Note. The Click 500 doesn’t necessarily have to be mounted on the desktop stand, if you don’t have one. All
that really matters is that the device is mounted on a T-bus that is receiving power (you connect power to
a T-bus using a T-bus 5-screw terminal block, which connects to the end of a T-bus and which has screw
terminals for wiring DC wires in). For your convenience, you can get the T-bus, the T-bus 5-screw terminal
block, and power devices buy purchasing the Click Desktop Kit or the Click 500 Development Bundle.

Connect the Click 500 to your computer
Now use an RS-232 straight-through cable (one is included in the Click Desktop Kit and in the Click 500
Development Add-on and Development Bundle) to make a serial connection from your Click 500 to your
computer:
1 Plug one end of the cable into the DB-9 connector on the faceplate of the device.
2 Plug the other end into the serial port on your computer.
