Z Coordinate Format
Z coordinates refer to vertical locations of environmental sensors and
actuators. You can use either the number of rack units or a descriptive
text to describe Z coordinates.
For a Z coordinate example, see Sensor/Actuator Location Example (on
page 219).
To configure Z coordinates:
1. Determine the Z coordinate format on
PDU
(on page 157). Available Z
coordinate formats include:
Format Description
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 comprises 0
to 24 characters.
2. Configure Z coordinates on the
Individual Sensor/Actuator Pages
(on page 214).
How the Automatic Management Function Works
This setting is configured on
PDU
(on page 157).
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 200).
