If the Channel Outputs switch is ON, all the selected outputs on the Click! 112/114
rack card will be determined by the checkboxes (unless a sensor is actively pushing
data to the rack card over the detection call bus).
If there are not competing messages from another communication bus, an output
will be active when associated a box is checked. An active output will cause the
corresponding contact outputs on the card’s backplane to close and the detection
channel LED on the faceplate to activate (see Figure 2.10). If a box is not checked,
the output will be inactive. An inactive output will cause the corresponding contact
outputs on the card’s backplane to open and the detection channel LED on the
faceplate to deactivate.
When on the Channel Outputs toggle switch and 1-4 checkboxes can be very helpful
in verifying the I/O channel mapping from the rack card outputs to the traffic
controller inputs. By sequentially checking boxes 1-4 you should be able to quickly
verify the mapping of each channel, even in the absence of traffic.
Tracker Logging
Access the Tracker Logging tool by clicking on the Tracker Logging button on the
Tools screen (see Figure 7.4). This tool will allow you to log vehicle detections as
Note
If the Channel Outputs toggle switch is OFF, no channel output messages will
be sent to the Click! 112/114. However, this does not mean that the channel
outputs will be inactive. In fact, normally the cards will go into failsafe mode.
In failsafe mode, all detection channel outputs and their corresponding LEDs
will be active.
Warning
It is recommended that you disable pushing by sensors, or disconnect the
detection call bus patch cord for each sensor before using this tool. Otherwise,
the rack card may be receiving conflicting calls on its other bus.
