Using the Click 513

The Click 513 monitors interval data from a SmartSensor HD by polling the SmartSensor HD to retrieve vehicle

speed, volume, and occupancy data from the latest interval for up to 4 approaches.

The Click 513 compares the detected interval data to a set of predetermined speed, volume, and occupancy

threshold values and activates a digital output when the data exceeds these threshold values.

A possible application for the Click 513 is to alert trac control operators of a congested exit ramp. If the interval

data polled from the SmartSensor HD exceeds the threshold value(s), the Click 513 will send an alert so that

adjustments can be made to help clear the congested roadway, such as keeping the trac light green so cars can

clear the exit ramp, or displaying a message for drivers on a dynamaic message sign (DMS).

The Click 513 utilizes the Click Supervisor software for user conﬁguration of vehicle speed, volume, and

occupancy thresholds. Communication between the Click 513 and Click Supervisor is easy to set up and use.

Physical Features

The Click 513 is based upon the Click 500 platform, so it has the same physical features as the Click 500. The

physical features are used for easy installation and conﬁguration.

Communication Ports

The Click 513 has four communication ports:

■ RS-485 T-bus connection port

■ RS-232 front DB-9 connection port

■ RS-232 top screw terminal connection port

■ RS-485 top screw terminal connection / front RJ-11 jack connection port

The back of the Click 513 features a 5-position connector that plugs into a T-bus connector and provides power

and RS-485 communication to the device. It also passes RS-485 communication to all other devices on the T-bus.

Usually, the RS-485 T-bus connection port is the primary connection to the SmartSensor HD.

The RS-232 DB-9 port on the front of the module is used when interacting with a computer. This can be when

using Click Supervisor or when connecting to a serial terminal program such as Windows HyperTerminal.

Warning. With older versions of the Click 500 series module, it is necessary to remove pin 4 from the serial cable

to prevent the device from going into Program mode. If it enters Program mode, all of the faceplate LEDs will turn

o, and power will need to be cycled on the device.

The other two communication ports can be accessed via the screw terminal blocks on the top of the device.

However, in many Click 513 applications these ports are unused. The ﬁrst block has -485, +485 and two ground

screw terminals for wiring RS-485 communication. These ports are used to talk to a Click 172 or 174. The RS-

485 communication lines of this block are physically connected to the RJ-11 jack on the front of the module, so a

connection can be made with the RJ-11 jack or by wiring the RS-485. The second block has a -232, +232 and two

ground screw terminals for wiring RS-232 communication.

Note. The Click 513 operates at a baud rate of 9600 bps.

There are digital I/O ports on the bottom of the module that allow you to interact with contact closure and digital

I/O systems (see the ﬁgure below).

In the standard Click513 application, these ports have the following functions:

■ Digital output port 1 – Used to connect to contact closure device, DMS or other digital I/O systems. This is the

default output for approach 1.

■ Digital output port 2 – For use with multiple Click 513 devices connected to one DMS. This is the default output

for approach 2.

■ Digital input port 1 – For use with multiple Click 513 devices connected to one DMS.

■ Digital input port 2 – For use with multiple Click 513 devices connected to one DMS. Not used in the standard

Click 513 application.

The Click 513 also has two DIP switches on the left side of the module for programming or reprogramming the

unit. For all standard Click 513 applications, the rest of the DIP switches are unused.

Warning. The sixth switch of DIP switch 1 controls the mode of the device. Make sure that this switch is in the OFF

position. If it gets turned on, the device will enter Program mode and all of the faceplate LEDs will turn o when a

serial connection is made. To exit Program mode, power will need to be cycled on the device.

Conﬁguration Features

There are three banks of LEDs located on the front of the Click 513.

The yellow and red banks of LEDs display submenu selections. See the Operating Modes section of this

document for more information.

The system LEDs (multicolored bank in the middle of the module) have dual functions: they are activity indicators,

reporting system status information, and they are also used in selecting operation modes from the main menu.

The blue LED does not have an activity-indicating function. The other three LEDs indicate system status as follows:

■ PWR (red) lights up when the device has power.

■ TD (green) lights up when the device is transmitting data.

■ RD (yellow) lights up when the device is receiving data.

If the Click 513 receives data via one port it may forward (transmit) the data to the other ports. However, only the

RD (yellow) light will ﬂicker in this case. The TD (green) light is reserved for data originating from the Click 513.

Located on the front of the module below the DB-9 connector is a push-button labeled Mode Switch. This push-button

allows you to make selections from the menu. See the Operating Modes section of this document for more information.

Installation

Make sure that the Click 513 is installed on a T-bus with active power and RS-485 communication.

When using multiple Click 513 modules for one DMS, the devices can be wired together so that only one Click 513

will be sending an output to the DMS at a time. See knowledge base articles on the Wavetronix website to learn

how to use relays to do this.

If you are going to use your Click 513 in conjunction with a computer serial port and terminal program, the RS-232

DB-9 port on the front of the device can be used to make a connection between the Click 513 and the computer.

Obtain the desired serial terminal program and follow the distributor’s instructions for installation.

Operating Modes

The Click 513 has two operating modes: Run mode and Device Setup mode. These modes are accessed through the

mode selection menu, which is controlled via the push-button; the system (multicolored) LEDs light up to show which

mode you are currently on. The table below shows the LED color and state associated with each operating mode or task.

Operating Mode/Task Selection LED State Operating LED State

Run Blue solid Blue solid

Device Setup Green solid Green solid

Reset Red ﬂashing –

5 of 11WX-501-0544 • 01.22

The LED state during the mode selection process can be either ﬂashing or solid. If the current mode is a ﬂashing

mode, the corresponding LED will ﬂash during mode selection. However, after a ﬂashing mode is selected, the

selected mode LED will not ﬂash—the red LED will ﬂash instead.

Navigating the Menu via the Push-Button

The menu is navigated via the push-button using hold and press actions:

■ Hold – Pressing and then holding for at least 1½ seconds allows you to enter the Click 513 mode selection process.

■ Press – Pressing and then quickly releasing the push-button allows you to make a selection in the menu.

The menu is used to select and run an application’s operating modes. Select a mode by navigating through the

main menu (multicolored LEDs) and the submenus (yellow and red LEDs) as described below:

1. Enter the main menu by holding the push-button down. Continue holding the push-button to cycle through the

entire menu.

2. Release the push-button once the cycle reaches the desired mode (see the table above).

3. Press the push-button again to select the mode. Once the mode is selected it will start running. If you selected

to reset the device, the submenu of yellow LEDs will start (the ﬁrst LED will light up).

4. Hold the push-button to cycle through the options of the submenu.

5. Release the push-button once the desired option is displayed.

6. Press the push-button again to select the option. The mode will now start running.

Run Mode (blue solid)

Run mode is the ﬁrst mode presented in the mode selection process, but usually the second one to be used. It

will ﬁrst be necessary (at least the ﬁrst time the device is used) to use Device Setup mode. When the device is in

Device Setup mode, Click Supervisor can be used to conﬁgure the device (see the Device Setup Mode section

below). Once that is completed, use the push-button to select Run mode (blue solid).

While in Run mode the Click 513 will poll the SmartSensor HD for data from the ﬁrst and second approaches, and if

the conﬁgured conditions are met an output will be triggered.

When you are using a Click 112 or 114 contact closure device, each time the Click 513 triggers an alert on either

approach the corresponding digital output is closed. The top/front RS-485 port of the Click 513 then sends a

message to the attached Click 112 or 114 to close the ﬁrst or second contact.

For data veriﬁcation purposes the event-data messages pushed by SmartSensor HD are translated into readable

text strings. This information is forwarded as ASCII text messages over the RS-232 ports of the Click 513. The

following illustrates an interval detection entry in a terminal program:

Device Setup Mode (green solid)

Device Setup mode is the second mode presented in the mode selection process. This mode allows you to

conﬁgure threshold variables and set up communications with the Click 112 or 114.

First put the device in Device Setup mode (solid green). Once in Device Setup modem, use submenu 1 (yellow

LEDs) to select which connection you will use to connect Click Supervisor:

■ First LED solid – This is the primary mode for connection and will be the option you select most often. You can

connect to Click Supervisor over the serial RS-232 port and do necessary troubleshooting.

■ Second LED solid – The second mode is a backup mode if there are no other means to connect to the device.

You can connect to Click Supervisor over the RS-485 port. This mode will not forward information correctly to the

Click #104#; after the Click Supervisor conﬁguration, the device will need to be changed to submode 1.

The Click 513 is then conﬁgured using the Click Supervisor software. See the knowledge base article 0514

Installing and Using Click Supervisor for instruction on how to download and install Click Supervisor and how to

connect to your device using the software.

How to use Click Supervisor to work with your device will be covered in the Computer Conﬁguration section of

this document.

Next, connect the Click 104/112/114 device via the RS-485 top/front port. When using a Click 104, you will need

to use a gray T-bus to isolate communications sent from the RS-485 top/front port (so they do not collide with

communications on the Click 513 RS-845 T-bus port). When using a Click 112/114, patch across using an RJ-11

jumper cable.

Once the Click 104/112/114 device is connected, you will need to autobaud it and then put it in Actuation mode.

This can only be done when the Click 513 is in the Device Setup Mode.

Reset (red ﬂashing)

The red ﬂashing mode resets the Click 513 to factory defaults. If a device is not responding and not

communicating, resetting the device may ﬁx the problem. Once in reset mode, use submenu 1 (yellow LEDs) to

select which level of settings should be reset:

■ First LED solid – Reset all settings except serial number and XML variable map.

■ Second LED solid – Reset all settings except serial number.

After being reset, the Click 513 will return to the last mode that it was in.

Computer Conﬁguration

The Click 513 must be conﬁgured using the Click Supervisor software. See the knowledge base article 0514

Installing and Using Click Supervisor for instructions on how to download and install Click Supervisor and how to

connect to your device using the software.

The Click 513 can be conﬁgured using the Expert driver (see the ﬁgure below).

7 of 11WX-501-0544 • 01.22

After you have made conﬁguration changes on a driver and saved it to the Click device, the word “current” will

appear after that driver to indicate the driver that is currently loaded onto the device.

Note. Changing any of the settings on any driver and saving them to the Click device will change those settings

on all drivers.

The Backups option can be used to read conﬁgurations that have previously been saved to ﬁle.

Expert

The Expert driver allows you to conﬁgure the Click 513. The driver is divided into two tabs, System and 513.

The System tab is divided into three subtabs: General, Comm, and Autobaud.

The General subtab contains information about the device (see the ﬁgure and table below).

Setting Description
