Data Enable

Also on this switch is the data enable parameter. This is configured on the third DIP switch,

labeled S3, using switches 6–8 (S3:6–8).

Note

This parameter can also be changed using the front panel menu or Click Supervisor.

This group of DIP switches determines whether the data buses are enabled to receive con-

tact closure data. Each bus can be independently enabled or disabled.

This parameter may be useful if you know a bus will not be receiving any data—for instance,

if you’re only using one sensor with your Click 111. If a bus is disabled from receiving data,

then its associated channels will not go into a fault state, even if that bus is not receiving

any data.

Note

If you’ve disabled a bus from receiving data, you can still use it to configure the card
using Click Supervisor.

Table 6 – DIP Switch Data Enable Settings

Dashes in the table indicate that the state of those switches don’t affect that particular set-

ting.

If switch 6 is on (flipped up), Hardware mode is selected, meaning that the data enable pa-

rameter will be configured using the DIP switches, and Click Supervisor and the front panel

menu will be able to display the current setting, but not change it. If switch 6 is off (down),

Software mode is selected and only Click Supervisor and the front panel menu will be able

to both display and change the current setting.
