Autobaud

The second option on the front panel menu label is the autobaud function. This option is

indicated by the green LED coming on solid.

Note

The autobaud function can only be accessed here, on the front panel menu.

This function initiates an autobaud on the RS-485 buses (you will select which bus to auto-

baud on the Level 2 LEDs). An autobaud will stop data reporting on the selected port and

attempt to communicate with the SmartSensor at all supported baud rates.

Table 10 – Front Panel Menu Autobaud Settings

See the earlier Navigating through the Menu and the Menu Operation Example sections for

how to configure this parameter.

If the Click 111 is successful in communicating with a SmartSensor, it will display the baud

rate found, using the same Level 2 LED system used in selecting the baud rate (covered in

the Baud Rate section of this chapter and Table 11). After a short time of displaying the

autobaud results, the menu will return to normal operation.

If the autobaud fails, all four Level 2 LEDs will flash once, and then the menu will return

to normal operation.

Note

If the baud rate of either of the RS-485 buses was configured using the DIP switches
(so that parameter is set to Hardware mode), the Level 2 LED configuration options
for that bus will not be displayed (the LED option will never come on). If both RS-485
buses are configured using the DIP switches, the Level 1 LED menu option for auto-
baud will not be displayed (the green LED option will never come on).
