Tip: The information in parentheses following each ID number
indicates whether the number has been assigned to any sensor or
actuator. If it has been assigned to a sensor or actuator, it shows its
serial number. Otherwise, it shows the word "unused."
The manual assignment method is unavailable if you selected
multiple sensors or actuators in Step 2.
5. Click OK. The PXE starts to display the managed sensor or
actuator's reading and state.
6. To manage additional ones, repeat Steps 2 to 5.
Note: When the total number of managed sensors and actuators reaches
the maximum, you CANNOT manage additional sensors or actuators
unless you remove or replace any managed ones. To remove a sensor
or actuator, see
Unmanaging Environmental Sensors or Actuators
(on page 171).
Identifying Sensor or Actuator Channels
A sensor package may have multiple contact closure (CC) or dry contact
(DC) channels, such as DX-D2C6 or DX-PD2C5.
When the PXE initially detects and automatically manages a sensor
package with multiple channels, all channels are assigned with ID
numbers in sequence.
If you manually manage these channels by selecting "Automatically
assign a sensor number," the PXE assigns ID numbers randomly
because this option assumes that users do not care about the sequence.
In this case, see the Channel column to identify each channel correctly.
For example, CC1 or DC1 is Channel 1, CC2 or DC2 is Channel 2, and
so on.
