44 CHAPTER 4  INSTALLING SMARTSENSOR MANAGER MATRIX

Using the Click 650

If you’re using the Click 650, the recommended method for connecting with your computer

is to take advantage of the device’s Ethernet capabilities. Using the RJ-45 jack on the face-

plate of the device, you can put the Click 650 on an Ethernet network, then connect to it

from any device on the same network.

If you do this, when you open SmartSensor Manager Matrix, you’ll use the Internet connec-

tion tab (as discussed in the next chapter) and enter the IP address of the Click 650. Doing

this will allow you to see all sensors connected to that 650 and to connect to the desired

sensor.

Alternatively, you could also use one of the communication options that make up the Con-

trol bus (easily identied because their ports appear under the heading “Control” on the

faceplate). e following connection options are available:

 RJ-11 jacks – For connecting via RS-485.

 USB port – For connecting via USB.

 DB-9 connector – For connecting via RS-232.

e disadvantage to these, of course, is that unlike the Ethernet option, where you can keep

the device on the network permanently and connect remotely at any time from any device

on the network, with the Control bus options you usually have to be standing at the cabinet

and making a temporary connection.

If you connect using one of the Control bus options, then when you open SmartSensor

Manager Matrix, you’ll use the Serial connection tab (as discussed in the next chapter).

is will let you see all sensors connected to the device, and you’ll be able to connect to the

sensor you’re aer.

For more information about this device and how to use the Ethernet functionality, consult

the Click 650 user guide or take the Click 650 training course.

Using the Click 600

If you’re using the Click 600, you could make a connection between the sensor and your

computer in a few dierent ways. e rst option is to use the T-bus connector on the face-

plate of the device to connect to a T-bus, and then to put an Ethernet-capable device such

as the Click 301 serial to Ethernet converter on that T-bus. Once you’ve put that Ethernet

device on a network, the process of connecting to your desired Matrix sensor is basically

the same as was outlined above.

e second option is to use the Control bus; the Click 600 has the same Control bus com-

munication options as the Click 650. See the above section for more information.

For information about using the Click 600, see the Click 600 Quick Reference Guide.
