What is the Click 650?

The Click 650 is a robust cabinet interface device that provides power, surge protection, and
streamlined communication to up to four SmartSensor Matrix or Advance sensors.

Figure I.1 – The Click 650

6 INTRODUCTION  •  CLICK 650 USER GUIDE

It is designed to serve as a replacement for the Wavetronix full and segmented backplates,
providing the same functionality with a smaller cabinet footprint.

The Click 650 provides up to 64 channels of sensor detection output, either to contact clo-
sure devices or directly to the traffic controller through SDLC. Utilizing the SDLC con-
nection to compatible controllers potentially removes the need for detector racks and rack
cards, allowing for more cabinet space savings. The provided 64 channels of detection out-
put—which, in a cabinet using traditional equipment, would have required an unrealistic
16 to 32 rack cards—allows for additional sensor functionality such as data collection and
advanced analytics beyond the standard stop bar and advance detection.

The Click 650 device also provides an Ethernet port for direct connection to local networks.
Users can access the serial-based sensors using Wavetronix SmartSensor Manager software
over TCP/IP using a network-connected laptop, tablet, or workstation. The Click 650 also
contains the same contact closure outputs and configuration ports (RS-485, RS-232, USB,
T-bus) found on the Click 600 cabinet interface device, and can serve as a direct replace-
ment for the Click 600 in any application.

How do I use this guide?

Chapter 1 contains a quick start guide with basic steps for installation, configuration, and
management of the Click 650. The later sections contain more detailed information about
each element of the Click 650 hardware and software, which can be used as a reference
guide for future questions.
Quick Start Guide 1
In this chapter
˽˽ Installation
˽˽ Front Panel Configuration
˽˽ Sensor Configuration
˽˽ Web Configuration

There are four main steps for installing and using the Click 650: installation, front panel
configuration, sensor configuration, and Web configuration.

Installation
1 Place the Click 650 in the traffic cabinet. It is designed to be shelf-mounted and can
stand vertically, or be placed on its side. An optional mounting accessory provides U-
channel mounting brackets for wall attachment.
2 Connect one to four sensors to the connectors on the back of the Click 650. Make note
of which sensor port is used for each sensor.
3 Power on the unit using the switch at back. The OLED panel should activate and dis-
play the initial loading screen.
4 Power on all connected sensors by toggling the appropriate switches on the front of the
Click 650. Each switch has a corresponding green LED to mark whether the sensor is
powered or not.
5 Connect communication cables (Ethernet, SDLC, and/or contact closure RS-485 out-
puts) into their respective ports on the front of the device.
8 CHAPTER 1  •  QUICK START GUIDE

Front Panel Configuration

1 Select Network Setup from the main menu using the keypad.
2 Enter an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the local network. Make note
of the IP address for further configuration later.
3 If desired, select Utilities >> Display Off to set the amount of inactivity on the main
OLED panel display before it shuts off.

Sensor Configuration
1 Attach a laptop, tablet, or other device capable of running SmartSensor Manager to
the Click 650. (Attachment can be done through the local network if an IP address and
other network information has been properly set on the device, and an Ethernet cable
has connected the Click 650 to a local network switch or router. Attachment of a con-
figuration device can also be done through the RS-232, RS-485, mini-USB, or T-bus
ports on the front panel)
2 Use the appropriate version of SmartSensor Manager to connect to each sensor:
˿˿ For Matrix units, connect using the Internet tab with the IP address of the Click
650 unit, default port 10001. If more than one Matrix unit is attached to the Click
650, each unit should appear in the list.
˿˿ For Advance units (including Advance Extended Range), connect using the In-
ternet tab with the IP address of the Click 650 unit, default port 10001. Select the
Multi-drop Network tab with Automatically Detect Sensors checked.
3 Use SmartSensor Manager to configure and validate each sensor.
4 Make sure SmartSensor Manager is disconnected from each sensor before continuing.

Web Configuration
Open a Web browser on the connected laptop or tablet, then type the Click 650 IP address
into the URL field of the browser. The Click 650 Web interface, shown below, should load.
 CHAPTER 1  •  QUICK START GUIDE 9

Figure 1.1 – Click 650 Web Interface

Properties Tab
1 Select the Properties tab at the top of the interface and enter a name, location, and
description for the Click 650.
2 For each BIU number you want the Click 650 to respond to, check the number (9–12).
Leave unused BIU numbers unchecked to avoid controller conflicts with other cabinet
devices.
3 Ensure that the sensor numbers for all ports with sensors attached are checked.
4 Click Save.

Note
If the IP address or other network information needs adjusting, you can do that on
this page as well. Click Save when finished, and the Web interface will automatically
adjust to use the new IP address.

Sensors Tab
1 Select the Sensors tab at the top of the interface.
2 To discover Matrix sensors, check Matrix Full Search, press Discover Matrix Sensors,
and wait until the “Discovering sensors, please wait…” message stops flashing.
3 To discover Advance or Advance Extended Range sensors, press Discover Advance
Sensors and wait until the discovery process completes. (This will typically take longer
than Matrix discovery.)
4 Discovered sensors should be listed in the Web page. If a sensor does not appear in the
list, make sure it is powered and connected to the back of the Click 650. Also ensure no
previous instance of SmartSensor Manager is currently connected to the sensor.
10 CHAPTER 1  •  QUICK START GUIDE

Note
If you’d like, you can enter a desired name for each sensor into the Name field. (These
names are used for convenience within the Click 650 for channel configuration.)

Channels Tab
1 Select the Channels tab at the top of the interface.
2 Each enabled BIU number will have 16 available detector channels. For each desired
detector channel to transmit to the controller, select a sensor and sensor channel us-
ing the drop-down lists. Detector channels can be mapped in any order and in any
arrangement.
3 To combine multiple sensors or sensor channels together, use the + button to select
multiple sensor channels and the associated AND/OR logic. (See chapter 4 of this
guide for more information.)
4 Optionally, select a phase number to help you remember which channel aligns with
which phase.
5 Optionally, enter a description into the description field to help you remember which
lane or area of the road this detector channel applies.
6 Push Save for each BIU when the channels have been configured.

Verification Tab
1 Select the Verification tab at the top of the interface.
2 Select each BIU number and watch the provided LEDs. Red indicates the channel is
currently active, grey indicates the channel is currently inactive. White indicates that
channel has no current assignment.
3 Click on an LED circle to display information about which sensor(s) are currently as-
signed to that detector channel output.

Health Tab
For additional troubleshooting, use the Health tab to verify each sensor is communicat-
ing correctly. A communication status of “OK, Receiving” indicates good communication.
Otherwise, the status will indicate the last time the sensor successfully communicated with
the Click 650. A “Discover Me” listing in the Serial # field indicates the sensor needs to be
re-discovered from the Sensors tab.

Figure 2.1 – Diagram of the Click 650

The back panel of the Click 650 contains four terminal blocks for sensor power and RS-485
communication. The Click 650 supports SmartSensor Matrix, SmartSensor Advance, and
SmartSensor Advance Extended Range connections.

The front panel of the Click 650 is divided into four sections:
˽˽ Top – The top of the front panel has an OLED panel with keypad buttons for user
configuration.
˽˽ Right – The right side of the front panel is a communication and status section, which
contains one RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet jack and one SDLC port. This section contains a
status light for the Click 650 as well as Transmit/Receive LEDs that activate during
SDLC communication with the controller.
˽˽ Left – The section labeled Data contains four RS-485 connectors, one for each sensor.
Alongside each connector are an LED status light, and an on/off switch to toggle power
to each connected sensor.
˽˽ Bottom – The section labeled Control contains four distinct port types for use in con-
necting to and configuring any of the four attached sensors. The following ports are
available:
˿˿ One DB-9 port for communicating via RS-232
˿˿ Two RJ-11 jacks for communicating via RS-485
˿˿ One USB mini-B connector
˿˿ One T-bus port for connecting to a T-bus
 CHAPTER 2  •  HARDWARE AND INSTALLATION DETAILS 13

Note
See Appendix 1 for an overview of SDLC and compatible NEMA TS2 controllers.

Checking Click 650 Status

The status light above the Ethernet port will flash during normal operation in two-second
cycles: one second on, one second off. The timing of the light flashes will inform operators
of current status conditions:
˽˽ Solid light – Normal operation.
˽˽ Two quick flashes – The Click 650 Web interface is currently being accessed.
˽˽ Three quick flashes – The Click 650 is receiving serial communication.
˽˽ Five quick flashes – The Click 650 cannot find boot image and is unable to boot.

Making Connections
Connecting AC Power
Included with the Click 650 is an AC power cord. Connect it from your AC power source
to the IEC connector on the back of the device. The Click 650 will take that AC power and
convert it to DC, then send that power to any connected sensors (which run on 10–28
VDC).

Warning
Make sure power to AC mains is disconnected while wiring the AC input.

Next to the IEC connector is a switch that turns power on and off for the whole device.

Surge Protection
You don’t need to do anything to get the surge protection running; just be aware that this
device provides protection for the cabinet from surges coming in on the sensor cables.
(SmartSensor devices have their own onboard surge protection.)

Terminating the SmartSensor 6-conductor Cable

Each Click 650 can interface with up to four sensors. The back of the device contains four
connectors, labeled 1 through 4, from top to bottom. (The schematic diagram printed on
14 CHAPTER 2  •  HARDWARE AND INSTALLATION DETAILS

the side of the Click 650 lists the labels in order, in case of confusion.) These connectors are
where you’ll plug in the sensor cables. Terminating the cables in these connectors provides
the sensors with DC power, lets you configure the sensor, and allows the sensor to send its
detection data back to the cabinet.

Before you can plug in the cables, you’ll need to terminate each one into the terminal blocks
included with your Click 650. The method for doing this is identical to the preassembled
backplates; for detailed instructions on how to terminate the cables, see the Terminating
SmartSensor 6-conductor Cables section of the SmartSensor Matrix or SmartSensor Ad-
vance User Guide.

Once the cables have been properly terminated into the terminal blocks, plug them into
the connectors on the back of the Click 650. Keep track of which connector corresponds to
which sensor.

Connecting the Data Ports to Contact Closure Devices

The Data area of the Click 650 faceplate consists of four RJ-11 jacks for connections to
contact closure devices. Use the jumper cables included with your Click 650 to connect
from these jacks to contact closure devices. (Consult the SmartSensor Matrix or SmartSen-
sor Advance User Guide for more information on using contact closure devices with those
specific devices.)

Toggling Power to Sensors

Next to each RJ-11 jack is a switch that turns power on and off to the associated sensor. Un-
der each jack is an LED that illuminates when the associated sensor has power. (The power
switch and LED light apply to the designated sensor whether or not the associated RJ-11
jack is being utilized for contact closure connections.)

Using the Control Bus to Configure the Sensors

The lower portion of the front faceplate has multiple ports that make up the physical in-
terface of the control bus. These ports allow you to configure any sensors connected to the
Click 650.

Note
All Control ports provide the same capability of connecting to any of the four sen-
sors—the selection of which port to use is entirely up to the user. Control ports will
NOT automatically receive the event data pushed out from attached sensors, al-
though Control ports can be used to send protocol commands to attached sensors
and receive the response.
 CHAPTER 2  •  HARDWARE AND INSTALLATION DETAILS 15

Note
Sensor configuration can also be done directly through Ethernet when the Click 650
is connected to a local network—potentially a more convenient alternative to using
these control ports for sensor configuration.

The following port options are available:

˽˽ RJ-11 jacks – Two RJ-11 jacks that allow users to connect via RS-485.
˽˽ USB port – A USB mini-B connector for connecting via USB.
˽˽ DB-9 connector – For connecting via RS-232.
˽˽ T-bus port – A T-bus connector to make the Click 650 part of a shared power and RS-
485 communication bus.

Using the T-bus

Use of the T-bus for power and communication is not strictly necessary as the Click 650
inherently provides all basic necessary functions. However, if T-bus connectivity is desired,
follow the following guidelines:
1 Assemble and install the T-bus on a DIN rail somewhere in the cabinet.
2 Find five wires (or a cable) that will reach from the shelf to the T-bus; strip the ends of
each wire.
3 Insert each wire into one of the screw terminals on a T-bus 5-position connector. The
terminals are all labeled for your ease.
4 Insert the other end of each wire into a second 5-position connector.
5 Plug one connector into the T-bus port on the Click 650; plug the other into the end
of the T-bus.

The Control section of the faceplate also contains four LEDs that will be helpful to monitor
the status of the Click 650. These LEDs have the following functions:
˽˽ Red LED (PW) – Illuminates when device has power.
˽˽ Blue LED (OK) – Extinguishes if device has been disabled by surges.
˽˽ Green LED (TD) – Illuminates when data is transmitted on the control bus.
˽˽ Yellow LED (RD) – Illuminates when data is received on the control bus.
OLED Panel 3
In this chapter
˽˽ Front OLED Panel

The Click 650 has two primary interfaces for user access and configuration:
˽˽ The front OLED panel and keypad, used for basic and preliminary configuration (dis-
cussed in this chapter).
˽˽ The Click 650 Web interface, accessed through any Web browser from a networked
laptop, workstation, tablet, or smartphone (discussed in chapter 4).

Front OLED Panel

The OLED panel on the front of the Click 650 device provides a basic interface to perform
some preliminary configuration and setup.

The keypad below the OLED panel provides numerical direction keys to move between op-
tions, along with an Accept (green checkbox) key and Cancel (red X) key.

 CHAPTER 3  •  OLED PANEL 21

BIU Setup

Figure 3.5 – BIU Setup

The BIU Setup screen allows each of the four possible BIUs (Bus Interface Unit) to be ac-
tivated or deactivated. Each BIU ID has sixteen available detector channels (64 total, over
all four BIUs), and deactivating a BIU number will disable the use of that set of channels.

Use the up and down arrows to move between the four options and and push the right ar-
row button to toggle the BIU activation. Push the green Accept button when finished. Push
the red Cancel button to cancel any changes and return to the main menu.

Note
BIU IDs are shared across all equipment that communicates to the controller. BIU
ID numbers that are unused within the Click 650 should be disabled to allow other
potential cabinet equipment access to that ID number to prevent controller conflicts.
The number of BIU IDs in use has no direct relationship to the number of sensors at-
tached to the Click 650: one or more BIU IDs may be disabled even if four sensors are
attached to the unit.
22 CHAPTER 3  •  OLED PANEL

Verify Output

Figure 3.6 – Verify Output

The Verify Output screen provides a graphical display for each enabled BIU and its 16 as-
sociated outputs using real-time data. Each channel will show its activations in real-time as
the detections are reported from the attached sensors. Channels that have a detector assign-
ment but are not currently communicating will be crossed off.

Note
Detector mappings must be made to sensor channels through the Click 650 Web
Interface before the Verify Output screen will be useful. See chapter 4 for more in-
formation.

Use the up and down arrows to move between the four available BIU screens.
 CHAPTER 3  •  OLED PANEL 23

Utilities

Figure 3.7 – Utility Menu

The Utility screen has two options. The Control Port setting allows the control ports on the
front side of the device to be in Limited or Dedicated mode.
˽˽ Limited – This is the default setting for normal activity.
˽˽ Dedicated – This setting will prioritize direct operator communication through the
Control port over other communication through the local network. Use this mode
when connecting to the Click 650 through one of the control ports to ensure timely
responses and avoid communication conflicts.

The Display Off menu item sets the number of minutes to elapse without user activity be-
fore the display turns off.
Web Interface 4
In this chapter
˽˽ Properties Tab
˽˽ Sensors Tab
˽˽ Channels Tab
˽˽ Verification Tab
˽˽ Health Tab
˽˽ Admin Functions

The Click 650 Web interface is the primary mechanism for accessing Click 650 functional-
ity. The Web interface provides many options that cannot be accessed using the front panel
OLED.

The Web interface can be accessed by typing the device IP address into a Web browser. (Re-
move any leading zeroes when typing in the IP address, i.e. “10.10.0.1”, not “010.010.000.001”.)

Note
Connect the Click 650 to the local network and set its network information using the
OLED panel as in Chapter 3 above before connecting to the Web interface.

Any device with a Web browser—tablet, laptop, workstation, smartphone—can access the
Click 650 Web Interface provided the device is connected to the same local network.

The main interface header contains links to each interface tab: Properties, Sensors, Chan-
26 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

nels, Verification, and Health. The default tab will usually be Health as the primary start-
ing point for operators wanting to view the current status of all attached sensors.

Properties Tab

Figure 4.1 – Properties Tab

The Properties tab contains basic configuration information about the Click 650 device,
with the ability to edit many of those fields directly from this screen.
˽˽ Serial Number – The registered serial number for this device. This field cannot be
edited.
˽˽ FW Version – The current version of firmware running on the device. This field cannot
be edited.
˽˽ OS Build Date – The date/time stamp of the firmware. This field cannot be edited.
˽˽ MAC Address – Network MAC address assigned to this device. This field cannot be
edited.
˽˽ Ethernet/Control IP Port – The port number to use when connecting to a sensor using
SmartSensor Manager (default: 10001).
˽˽ Name, Location, Description – These fields are available for user-defined text to iden-
tify the purpose and location of the device. Each field is limited to 30 characters and
may be left blank. The content of these fields has no impact on device functionality.
˽˽ IP Address – The registered IP address for the device can be changed. Each numerical
field requires a number between 0 and 255.
˽˽ Subnet Mask – The registered subnet mask for the local network. Each numerical field
requires a number between 0 and 255.
˽˽ Default Gateway – The gateway IP address for the local network. Each numerical field
requires a number between 0 and 255.
˽˽ Use BIU Number – These checkboxes can activate or deactivate any of the four eligible
BIU (Bus Interface Units) within the Click 650 configuration.
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 27

Note
BIU IDs need to be unique across all cabinet devices communicating to the controller.
It’s recommended that you disable unused BIU IDs within the Click 650 so that other
cabinet devices may have access to that ID without communication conflicts.

˽˽ Use Sensor Number – These checkboxes activate or deactivate the respective sensor
port for communication. Ports with a sensor attached need to be activated before sen-
sor events will be transmitted by the Click 650. Ports without a sensor attached can
remain deactivated.

Push the Save button to save any modifications to these fields.

Note
Since the Web interface URL uses the device IP address, if the IP address is changed,
the Web interface will automatically redirect to use the new IP address, allowing the
user to continue using the Web interface uninterrupted. Depending on the browser
type, this redirection may trigger a dialog box asking for user approval beforehand.

Sensors Tab

Figure 4.2 – Sensors Tab

When the Click 650 is being configured for the first time, this screen will be empty, as no
sensors have yet been discovered and registered. Prior to adding sensors through the Web
28 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

interface, ensure that the sensors are connected to the proper port on the back of the unit
and the power switch on the front of the unit is turned on.

Note
It is recommended that you complete sensor configuration before Click 650 discov-
ery. During discovery, the 650 saves the current sensor channel configuration to the
device for use in channel mappings. Subsequent changes to sensor configuration will
not automatically be updated within the Click 650; that sensor will need to be redis-
covered on this page before the Web interface will reflect the new changes.

The Click 650 features auto-discovery, so users can press the Discover Matrix Sensors and/
or Discover Advance Sensors buttons and the system will automatically query all data
ports for each type of device and display any discovered device to the screen.

Note
Advance device discovery typically takes a longer time than Matrix discovery.

Note
It is recommended to use the Matrix Full Search checkbox the first time connec-
tions are made to devices. After a full search has been performed on the connected
sensors, faster searches can be performed with the Full Search check disabled to
re-register attached sensors as needed.

When one or more devices has been discovered, they will be listed in their own identifica-
tion box in the Available Sensors section.

Sensors will be listed as “Sensor X” with X being the port number 1, 2, 3, or 4 in which
the sensor is attached. The label will be accompanied by the appropriate sensor picture for
Matrix or Advance. The sensor listing will also provide the device serial number, along with
Location and Description fields. Matrix devices will also have an Approach field.
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 29

Note
The Location, Description, and Approach fields for each sensor are taken directly from
the device itself, and are not editable through the Click 650 Web interface. Use the ap-
propriate SmartSensor Manager software package to change those sensor fields.

The Name field is an optional field that can be used to create a convenient and user-friendly
name to identify this device within the Click 650 Web interface. This field is limited to 30
characters and can be left blank. To make changes, type the desired name into the Name
field and push the Save Sensor Names button on top.

This screen also lists the most current communication status for each device, along with
when the device was first discovered.

Channels Tab

Figure 4.3 – Channels Tab

The Channels tab is where users will map the incoming sensor channels from any of the
four attached sensors to outgoing detector channels.
30 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

The Click 650 has four available BIUs (9–12) with 16 detector channels available for each.
The Detector Channel Map grid shows all 16 available channels for the selected BIU ID.
Select a different BIU tab to switch detector channel maps. (Disabled BIU IDs will not be
displayed.)

Within the Channel Map grid, there are seven individual columns.
˽˽ Detector Channel – The specific channel number (1–64) within this BIU to use.
˽˽ Phase – The phase number assigned to this channel output. Note that assigning a phase
has no functional effect on the channel output, but may be useful for operators to re-
member which channel lines up with which phase assignment on the controller that is
receiving the detector outputs.
˽˽ Description – An optional field that can be used to describe the lane or location han-
dled by this detector channel for user convenience. Descriptions are limited to 32 char-
acters and can be left blank.
˽˽ Logic ID – Letter (a–l) assigned to this sensor/sensor channel assignment. This is only
used when multiple sensor channels are assigned together to a common detector chan-
nel (see the Adding Multiple Sensor Channels section below).
˽˽ Sensor Selection – Each row drop-down will contain listings for each attached sensor.
Select the sensor from which this channel will be assigned. The drop-down list above
this column allows users to select how the sensors will be displayed in the individual
drop-downs: by serial number, name, location, description or approach. If the previ-
ously selected sensor has been removed from the Click 650 or otherwise cannot be
located, this field will be highlighted in red.
˽˽ Sensor Channel – All of the available sensor channels from the device selected in the
Sensor Selection column will be listed in the drop-down list. Select a channel ID to as-
sign it to the given detector channel. If the available channels do not reflect the current
sensor configuration, the sensor may need to be rediscovered to update its configura-
tion (see Sensors Tab section above).
˽˽ Add – Use the + button to add multiple sensor channels together for this detector chan-
nel (see “Adding Multiple Sensor Channels” below).

Not all detector channels need to be assigned. To leave a detector channel unassigned, set
the Sensor Selection and Sensor Channel columns blank (“---“). Detector channels do not
need to be assigned in order—any of the available detector channels from 1 to 64 can be
assigned or left blank depending on user preference. The same sensor channel can also be
assigned to multiple detector channels, even across different BIUs.

Adding Multiple Sensor Channels

The Click 650 supports combining multiple sensor channels together into one detector
channel output. To do so, click on the + button on the right side of the grid. The grid entry
will open up displaying additional rows of UI fields (see the figure below).
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 31

Figure 4.4 – Adding Multiple Sensor Channels

The channel entry can now register two or more devices tied together into one channel out-
put. For each entry, select a sensor from the middle column, and a sensor channel. To add
more than two sensor channels, push the + button again to add a new row. To remove the
bottom-most sensor entry, push the - button in the last column to delete it. The Click 650
can support up to 12 sensor channels assigned to a detector channel.

After adding two or more sensors, each sensor will be assigned a unique letter (a, b, c, etc.)
in the Logic ID column. Using the Logic: field, create a logical relationship by pushing each
sensor button with an and or or button separating them.

For example, a detector channel that only triggers when both sensor channel a and b are ac-
tive would be defined by pushing a, then and, then b. (The reverse order is also acceptable.)
This assignment would be displayed in the logic field as “a & b”.

A detector channel that triggers when either sensor channel a or b is active would be de-
fined by pushing a, then or, then b. This assignment would be displayed in the logic field
as “a | b”.

More complex logic patterns with more than two sensors can be defined with multiple ‘and/
32 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

or’ designations. Use the provided parenthesis buttons as needed to define order of opera-
tions. The spc button can be used to add spaces to the logic equation for clarity. Push the <<
button to go back and erase the previous operand. The interface will report an error if the
logic statement is invalid (i.e. missing a close parenthesis or a necessary operand).

Note
Logical statements can also be typed directly into the text field instead of using the
given buttons. Only the following characters will be accepted as valid:
˽˽ The letters a–l (each letter must also have an associated sensor channel with
the given Logic ID)
˽˽ The symbols &, |, (, and )
˽˽ Spaces

MMU Tab

Figure 4.5 – MMU Channel Map

The MMU tab allows users to map MMU channels (listed in the left column) with a signal
driver group ID listed in the right column. Values will be between 1 and 16. Push Save when
mapping edits have been completed.
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 33

Note
MMU mappings have no functional effect on Click 650 operation and can be safely
ignored by the majority of users. The mapping tab is provided as a forward-compati-
bility feature for future Matrix or Advance firmware containing advanced functional-
ity that depends on correct driver group mappings from the controller.

Verification Tab

Figure 4.6 – Verification Tab

The Verification tab allows users to check the current detection mappings using real-time
data coming from the sensors. The Channel Verification box contains a 4x4 grid that dis-
plays all 16 possible detection channels for the selected BIU.

Within the grid, a detector channel that does not have a mapping will be displayed with a
white circle. Detector channels with a current mapping will be displayed with a gray circle
(if the detector signal is currently inactive) or a red circle (if the detector signal is currently
active). The Verification tab will be updated in real time, so users will see the channel activa-
tions trigger on and off as vehicle detections are made by the attached sensors.

Click on a detection circle to display the current sensor channel mapping below the grid.
The text displayed to identify each sensor can be adjusted by selecting an option from the
Display… drop-down box. The details box will also contain the phase mapping and de-
scription field (if any). Detector channels with multiple sensor channels assigned will dis-
play the details for each.

If a mapping exists, but the Click 650 is unable to communicate with the registered sensor,
34 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

the interface will display a red circle with a large “X”, indicating non-functional status.

Health Tab

Figure 4.7 – Health Tab

The Health tab allows users to check current sensor health and status for all attached sen-
sors. The Health tab will usually be the default tab seen when you first log into the Click
650 Web interface.

All current sensors discovered and registered to this Click 650 device will have an indi-
vidual listing with its name, location, description, approach and serial number. The health
listings also display the last time the Click 650 was able to communicate with each sensor in
the Communication Status. Normal usage will display “OK, Communicating”, while a drop
in communication will display the timestamp of the last data packet received from the sen-
sor. If the time between the last data packet and the present time exceeds the failsafe time-
out (See the Admin section below), the sensor picture on the health display will be shown
with a red “X”, as shown below, showing the device is considered to be in failsafe condition.

Figure 4.8 – Sensor Verification Failure

Admin Functions
At the bottom of each Click 650 Web interface page is a smaller menu of links for additional
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 35

administrative features.

If different languages are supported by this version of Click 650 firmware, a Language:
drop-down list will be visible, listing the available language options.

The Main link will return the user to the Click 650 Web interface main page.

The About link provides a direct link to the Wavetronix webpage and any other relevant
information about the Click 650 device or Web interface.

The next two links, Admin and Upgrade, will be covered below.

Admin Page

Figure 4.9 – Admin Page

The Admin page contains several advanced settings that control device behavior.

The Failsafe Timeout field contains a value that determines how long the Click 650 waits
without receiving communication from any of the attached devices before it considers that
device to be in failsafe condition. This timeout (expressed in milliseconds) should be high
enough to avoid natural communication delays due to normal network conditions, but low
36 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE

enough to properly notify operators of device communication failures in a timely enough

manner.

When a sensor is put in failsafe state by the Click 650, administrators have the option of
having detection channels assigned to that sensor either produce a constant call, or no call
at all. This option can be toggled through the Constant Call and No Call radio button op-
tions.

The Admin page also provides a device configuration reset option. Push Reset to clear the
existing device configuration to factory defaults (excepting the network settings, which will
remain). This option cannot be undone, so use of this function will require all sensor dis-
covery, channel mappings, and other device fields to be recreated after reset. To simply
reboot the Click 650 without resetting the configuration, push the Reboot button.

The Admin page also allows you to turn on or off any of the four sensor ports, as well as set
the baud rate. All four ports will be activated by default (whether or not they have sensors
plugged into them); uncheck any of the four ports to deactivate them. The four ports do not
have to be active or inactive in any order—any of the four can be toggled as needed—but
any port with a sensor attached needs to be active to receive sensor channel events.

The baud rate for communication on any port can also be adjusted by selecting a baud rate
from the drop-down list.

Note
The selected baud rate for a port must match the baud rate used by the attached
sensor on that port. Otherwise, the Click 650 will not be able to communicate with
the sensor. In most cases, the default 9600 baud rate should be used for all Wavetro-
nix devices.

Push the Save button after making any adjustments on this page to save the admin settings
to the device configuration.
 CHAPTER 4  •  WEB INTERFACE 37

Upgrade Page

Figure 4.10 – Upgrade Page

The Upgrade page allows users to upgrade a new Click 650 firmware file to the device. Copy
the new firmware file to the local tablet, laptop, or workstation and select Choose File to
choose the file in the local file system. Once the file is identified, push Upload File to upload
and configure the new firmware on the Click 650 device. If the file is corrupted, is not a
valid Click 650 firmware file, or has already been installed, the webpage will report an error
when the upload is attempted. Push Cancel to cancel the upload operation.

˽˽ What is SDLC?

What is SDLC?
SDLC stands for Synchronous Data Link Control protocol. It was developed by IBM in the
mid-1970s as part of their Systems Network Architecture. While not used commonly in
modern computer systems, it is still found among modern traffic controllers.

When TS2 controllers were introduced, the specification indicated that cabinet interfaces
were to be based on data transmission rather than discrete signals. SDLC is intended to
connect the controller, the MMU (Malfunction Management Unit—the conflict monitor
in TS1 controllers), the detection system, and the terminals and facilities unit (the back
panel). This greatly reduces the complexity of signal controller cabinets and replaces the
need of hundreds of conductors required to provide discrete signals (contact closures, etc.)
throughout the cabinet.

There are many advantages to SDLC but the most significant is the reduction in cabinet
cost, eliminating hundreds of small wire connections and the elimination or reduction in
the size of the rack used for contact closures.

What are TS1/TS2 Controllers?

TS1 controllers were introduced in 1976 and reissued in 1983, 1989 and 1994. They coex-
isted with TS2 until about 1999. The design of the TS1 included the function and electrical
characteristics for pins on the three connectors designated as A, B, and C. In addition they
40 APPENDIX

also provided a D connector which was manufacturer-specific. These are often referred to
as harness connectors as this is where the wiring harnesses for the cabinets are terminated.

TS1 controllers receive detection inputs through contact closure cards usually found in
racks wired in the cabinet and connected to the front of the controller. Shelf mount contact
closures were also used where racks were not available. Wavetronix sensors can interface to
these controllers using either a backplate-to-contact-closure connection or by using a Click
600 series cabinet interface device to connect the contact closure outputs. The wiring from
the contact closures to the controller is pre-wired in the cabinet.

TS2 controllers were formally approved by both NEMA and IMSA in 1992 and became the
official successor to the TS1 controllers. TS2 was updated in 1998 and again in 2003 when
NTCIP was added to the standard. In order to accommodate a transition from TS1 pin con-
nectors A, B, C, and D, two types of TS2 controllers were developed.

Type 1 is a pure TS2 controller and was intended for new system installations. These con-
trollers can only communicate via SDLC. Some TS2 Type 1 cabinets still use detector racks
but provide their inputs to the SDLC in the controller through a BIU in the card rack.

TS2 Type 2 controllers are widely used because of the flexibility of placing them into either
a TS1 or TS2 cabinet. These provide both an SDLC connection and the front pin connectors
A, B, C and D.

Either type of TS2 cabinet provide for better standardization. It includes coordination, pre-
emption, time based control, automatic flash & telemetry hardware. It specifies all connec-
tions inside the traffic cabinet and specifies physical layer of system-level communications.

How can TS2 controllers utilize the Click 650?

˽˽ TS2 Type 1 – SDLC serial data bus replaces A, B and C harnesses. The bus serves as
the data highway for the cabinet. Load switches, loop detectors, and preemption are
interfaced to the bus through BIUs. SmartSensors are interfaced to the bus through
the SDLC of the Click 650. MMU retains point-to-point wiring to load switch outputs.

Figure A.1 – TS2 Type 1

˽˽ TS2 Type 2 – The controller provides connectors to SDLC bus and to the A, B, C har-
 APPENDIX 41

nesses. The minimum requirement is that controller and MMU be connected through
the SDLC bus. SmartSensors are interfaced to the bus through the SDLC of the Click
650 or can be connected through patch cables to contact closures in a card rack con-
nected to the bus through a BIU. This design works well when 4 Matrix SmartSensors
are connected through the Click 650 SDLC utilizing 64 channels of detection while
2 or 4 Advance SmartSensors are connected to contact closure cards via patch cables
through a backplate or Click 600. If needed, two Click 650s can be used with both
Advance and Matrix connected to the bus through the units’ SDLC ports, bridged to-
gether.

Figure A.2 – TS2 Type 2

˽˽ The system operation for TS2 Type 2 when operating like a TS1 or when used with a
TS1 – Controller offers TS1 operating mode with MMU and or CMU operating in TS1
mode. Detectors, load switches, flash relay and flasher also operate in TS1 mode with
each connected to the A, B, C harnesses. SmartSensors are interfaced with the control-
ler through a Click 600 or backplate through patch cables to contact closures which are
connected via the wiring harnesses. The Click 650 can be used in this configuration
without SDLC. The Click 650’s built-in Ethernet provides networking and communica-
tion advantages, with the ability to use the same equipment if the cabinet or controller
are upgraded in the future.
