  Connect the data ports to contact closure devices

If you look at the faceplate of the device, you’ll notice that it’s divided into two buses: 

Data and Control. The data bus is for taking detection data from the sensors and send-

ing them to contact closure devices. Its faceplate interface consists of four RJ-11 jacks.

Use the jumper cables included with your Click 600 to connect from these jacks to your 

contact closure devices. Information on how to use contact closure devices can be 

found in the Click 100–400 Series user guide.

The data bus portion of the faceplate also has the following features: next to each RJ-11 

jack is a switch that turns power on and off to the associated sensor; under each jack is 

an LED that illuminates when the associated sensor has power.

  Use the control but to configure the sensors

The lower portion of the faceplate has the ports that make up the physical interface 

of the control bus. These ports allow you to configure any sensors connected to the 

Click 600. You can connect to the Click 600 and thereby to the sensors using any of 

the following options:

 

˽

RJ-11 jacks –

 The Click 600 has two RJ-11 jacks that allow you to connect via 

RS-485.

 

˽

USB port –

 Next to the RJ-11 jacks is a USB mini-B port for connecting via 

USB.

 

˽

DB-9 connector –

 Under the USB port is a DB-9 connector for connecting via 

RS-232

 

˽

T-bus port –

 At the bottom of the faceplate is a T-bus connector. You can use 

this to make the Click 600 part of a shared power and RS-485 communica-

tion bus. This isn’t usually necessary because the Click 600 performs all basic 

necessary functions, but it is an option.

Once you’ve made a physical connection from any of these control bus ports to your computer, you should be able to open 

the SmartSensor Manager software on that computer and connect to any sensors that are connected to the Click 600. You 

can now configure and manage those sensors.
