Z Coordinate Format
You can use either the number of rack units or a descriptive text to
describe the vertical locations (Z coordinates) of environmental sensors
and actuators, which are configured on the
Individual Sensor/Actuator
Pages
(on page 188).
The Z coordinate format is determined on PDU (on page 145). For a Z
coordinate example, see
Sensor/Actuator Location Example (on page
192).
Available Z coordinate formats:

Rack Units: The height of the Z coordinate is measured in standard
rack units. When this is selected, you can type a numeric value in the
rack unit to describe the Z coordinate of any environmental sensors
or actuators.

Free-Form: Any alphanumeric string can be used for specifying the Z
coordinate. The value can be 0 to 24 characters long.
How the Automatic Management Function Works
This setting is configured on
PDU
(on page 145).
After enabling the automatic management function:
When the total number of managed sensors and actuators has not
reached the upper limit yet, the PX3 automatically brings
newly-connected environmental sensors and actuators under
management after detecting them.
A PX3 can manage up to 32 sensors/actuators.
After disabling the automatic management function:
The PX3 no longer automatically manages any newly-added
environmental sensors and actuators, and therefore neither ID numbers
are assigned nor sensor readings or states are available for newly-added
ones.
You must manually manage new sensors/actuators. See
Peripherals
(on
page 175).
