2Introduction
The Layer N SP-014 Process Monitoring Smart Probe provides an easy way to integrate process signals to your Layer N
Ecosystem. The SP-014 accepts standard process signals through its M12 5-pin connector and Layer N Smart Interfaces
through its M12 8-pin connector. The optional M12.5-S-M-FM connector can be utilized to easily connect wire leads to your
SP-014. Each of the 3 process inputs may be independently configured as 0-24 mA or 0-1.0 VDC inputs.
The Layer N SP-014 features 2 configurable digital I/O pins. These can be used for a myriad of applications including driving
relays, physical alarms, or sensing dry contacts like door switches. The SP-014 can also be utilized as an edge controller, with
autonomous independent decision-making capabilities to generate local alarms or provide control outputs based on sensor
inputs.

3Hardware Setup
3.1 Connecting your Layer N Smart Interface
The SP-014 requires a Layer N Smart Interface to connect to your computer. Use the M12 8-Pin Connector diagram below to
connect your SP-014 to your Layer N Smart Interface.
3.2 Process Input Wiring Diagram
The Layer N SP-014 accepts process inputs through its M12 5-Pin connector. If you are connecting wires directly to the SP-

4SYNC Configuration
Layer N Smart Probe products are easily configurable through SYNC configuration software. Ensure SYNC is running on your
Windows OS computer before continuing. Connect your SP-014 to your computer through your Layer N Smart Interface.
Note: SYNC is available to download for free on the OMEGA website.
4.1 Connecting to SYNC - Automatic Detect
Once the SP-014 and Layer N Smart Interface are connected to your computer, SYNC will automatically detect it and begin
displaying process readings.
Note: If you have successfully connected your SP-014 to SYNC and have readings appearing in SYNC, skip ahead to
the section titled Process Inputs.
4.2 Connecting to SYNC – Manual
If SYNC does not automatically detect your device, follow these instructions to manually connect it.
Step 1: Click on the icon located on the top left of the SYNC interface.
Step 2: Proceed through the Add Device Wizard and click End Device / Probe.
4.2.1 Communication Interface
Set the communication parameters for the Layer N Smart Interface that you are connecting.
Note: The connection type and parameters must be accurate for a proper connection to be established. Failure to
accurately setup communication parameters may result in communication errors.
• Connection Type: Select the type of connection you have between your SP-014 and your computer.
• Command Timeout: The maximum time (in milliseconds) for a command to be completed before the command is
aborted.
Note: The default command timeout is 500 milliseconds. It is recommended that this section be left alone to avoid
communication errors.

• Device Address: If your Smart Interface is part of a Network, enter the Network Address here. The default network
address is 1 for most devices. Please refer to the manual of your Smart Interface for more
information.
Note: The default Device Address is 1.
• Device IP or Port: The COM port number that your device is connected to on your computer.
Important: The following parameters should NOT be changed. These settings should NOT be changed unless the
configuration has been done on the interface.
• BaudRate: Controls bits per second
• DataBits: The number of ‘bits’ in each character sent.
• Parity: A means of checking correctness of character by adding an extra ‘bit’ to the character and setting the value
based on all the other bits in the character.
• StopBits: The number of ‘bits’ used to indicate the end of the character.
Once you have completed setting the communication parameters for your device, click Finish.
4.3 Process Inputs Interface
The SP-014 can accept up to three 0-24 mA or 0-1.0 VDC process inputs. To customize your process inputs, follow these
steps:
Step 1: Click the Inputs configuration tab on SYNC and choose your input type from the Type dropdown.
Step 2: Choose between mA and mV from the Device Range/Type drop down.

4.4 Setting Alarms
Alarms are set by clicking the icon in SYNC on the desired input signal found in the Inputs Configuration Tab. Setup
the threshold and alarm type in the Condition section and then select which output to turn on in the Action section. The
alarm can be set to be latching or non-latching in the Recovery section.
4.5 ON/OFF Control
To configure ON/OFF Control on a device, navigate to the Output Configuration Tab in SYNC and click on the icon
located to the right of the available outputs. Clicking the icon will open Define ON/OFF Control dialog box as seen below.
Choose the input with the active alarm that you would like to control and set your preferred parameters.
