40 CHAPTER 3 CONTACT CLOSURE COMMUNICATION
NEMA TS2, 2070 and other advanced trac cabinet systems usually allow software pro-
gramming of the detector card channel outputs to trac phases via a channel-to-phase
mapping grid in the controller menu. Figure 3.9 illustrates how the detector channels 1 to
16 of a NEMA TS-2 rack can be assigned to the standard eight phases using four Click
114 cards. e rack card slots are numbered across the top and the controller’s detection
channels are represented by the gray labels C1–C16.
Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Slot 5 Slot 6 Slot 7 Slot 8
Figure 3.12 – NEMA TS-2 Type 1 Rack Channel to Trac Phase Example
In Figure 3.9, four channels are used from each SmartSensor Matrix. In this example,
channel 1 from the rst sensor is mapped to trac phase 1 (left-turn phase on main street).
Channels 2, 3 and 4 from the rst sensor are mapped to trac phase 6. is represents a
case where detections from three through-movement lanes are brought in separately. is
type of lane-by-lane detection can be benecial in some situations. Wavetronix typically
recommends the use of 4-channel cards because it oers greater exibility of signaling
contact closures.
Note
With NEMA TS1 and other legacy systems, the programming is often done via a
wiring panel on the side of the controller cabinet. With wired systems, you will need
to verify that the wiring on the detector programming panel provides the proper
mapping from the rack channel outputs to the controller input wires dedicated for
ф1–ф8 detector calls.
