305 USB to Serial
Click 304/305 USB to Serial INSTALLER QUICK-REFERENCE GUIDE This document covers the installation and configuration of both the Click 304 RS-232 to RS-485 converter and the Click 305 USB to serial converter. The steps that follow apply to both devices unless stated.
1
Mount the device
Each device mounts over a T-bus for power and communication: 1 2 3 4
If the device was shipped with the T-bus connector attached, remove the connector from the module. Snap the connector onto the DIN rail by positioning it over the rail with the male connector pointing to the right. Hook one arm over the edge of the DIN rail and press down on the other arm until it snaps into place. Connect the T-bus connector to the rest of the T-bus by sliding them together until you hear them snap into place. Mount the device onto the DIN rail: position it properly over the T-bus connector, hook the lip over the lower edge of the DIN rail, and use a rocking motion to snap the module into place.
2
Wire power and communication
If you are using a Click 200 surge protector, power and communication are provided to the device through the T-bus (see the Click 200 Quick-reference Guide). If you don’t have a Click 200 surge protector, use the following steps to wire power and communication into the device: 1 2
Plug a T-bus 5-screw terminal block into the first T-bus connector. Wire DC power (10–30 V) from the power supply into the first screw terminal on the 5-screw terminal block; wire -DC into the second screw terminal. 3 Connect +485, -485 and GND to either the remaining three screw terminals on the 5-screw terminal block or to the screw terminals in the pluggable screw terminal block on the top of the device (see labels for correct wiring). Each device has several other communication ports. ˽˽ DB-9 connector (both devices) – Connect a straight-through cable for RS-232 communication ˽˽ RJ-11 jack (Click 304) – Connect a jumper cable for RS-485 communication ˽˽ USB connector (Click 305) – Accepts a USB 2.0 cable with a B-type plug (covered in Part 4)

Use on-device configuration features
Next, use the device’s configuration features to make sure it’s wired and working properly. The Click 304 and 305 have three LEDs that monitor device activity and help you select operating modes, as well as a push-button, labeled Mode Switch, also used for operating modes. 1 2
LED activity indicating functions: Red – Shows device has power Yellow – Shows device is transmitting data
Green – Shows device is receiving data Check LEDs to make sure the device has power. Autobaud device to make sure it can talk to the sensor or other attached serial device (see table).
Hold the push-button to cycle through modes, then release when the desired mode is reached. LED operating mode indicating functions: Selection
Operating mode Autobaud – Release push-button when green LED is solid to autobaud to sensor.
Running
Completed Failure Success
Reset – Release push-button when red LED is blinking to reset to factory defaults.
Note. On certain devices, the yellow LED may replace the green LED in the autobaud process—that is, the yellow LED selects the autobaud process, is on during the autobaud process, etc.

Install USB drivers (Click 305 only)
Before connecting to the Click 305, USB drivers need to be installed on your computer: 1 2 3
4 5
Find the Click305_USBDrivers.zip file on the Wavetronix website. Copy the zip file to your desktop and unzip the files. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the Click 305. Once you have connected the cable, a Found New Hardware window should appear. Select the Locate and install driver software option. Follow the steps to install the drivers. Once you’ve installed once, the Found New Hardware box will come up a second time. Follow step 4 again.
Note. If you use a different USB port to connect the device another time, you will get the Found New Hardware box again.
5
Install Click Supervisor
Note. Your device is now fully functional. If you don’t wish to make any other changes to configuration, you don’t need to follow the rest of the steps. However, the device can be further configured using Click Supervisor, software available from Wavetronix. Click Supervisor will enable you to view and change certain settings that mostly help in identifying your device. If you would like to install Click Supervisor, follow these steps: 1 2
Download the setup file from www.wavetronix.com (under Support). Double-click on the file to run the setup wizard. Follow the steps to install.

Make a connection
Make sure there is a connection between the device and the computer that Click Supervisor is on. This can be through the DB-9 connector on either module, the USB port on the Click 305, or through another device also on the T-bus. Run Click Supervisor and select Communication. This screen lets you pick the type of connection you want to make, serial or IP. The devices will mostly likely be configured using serial communication. Click Settings to make any necessary changes to the settings, such as the port or the baud rate. Click OK to return to the Communication screen, then click Connect. Keep the Click ID set to 0. In the next screen, Click Supervisor will display all the devices it discovers. When the device appears, select it and click Select. Click Supervisor will connect to the device.

Select a driver 1
Select Setup Click on the main screen. You will see the following two drivers: ˽˽ SmartSensor – This driver is used if you plan on connecting from a TOC to your device to your sensor. You can use this driver to view and change certain basic functional and informational settings such as baud rate, device description and device location. ˽˽ Expert – This driver exposes all device settings, and should be used only when you are instructed to by Wavetronix Technical Services. 2
Select the driver you want and click OK.
8
Configure the module
As mentioned in Part 5, your device can function properly without any settings being changed in Click Supervisor. The settings listed below can be changed if you prefer, but it is not necessary to do so. SmartSensor Driver ˽˽ Device ID – Changes the ID number associated with the device. By default this is the last five digits of the serial number. ˽˽ Baud rate – If connecting to a sensor, this must match the sensor’s baud rate. ˽˽ Description/Location – For informational/identification purposes only. These settings do not affect the operation of the device.

Verify the connection
If you want to verify the serial connection on the Click 304: 1 2
Connect a straight-through cable between the DB-9 connector on the front of the Click 304 and your computer. Follow the steps in Part 6 of this document to make a connection to the Click 304 using Click Supervisor. If you can talk to the device while physically connected to it, the serial connection is working properly.
If you want to verify the serial connection on the Click 305: 1 2
Connect a USB cable between the USB connector on the front of the Click 305 and your computer. Follow the steps in Part 6 of this document to make a connection to the Click 305 using Click Supervisor (make sure to use the new com port that was assigned when you installed the Click 305 USB drivers). If you can talk to the device while physically connected to it, the USB connection is working properly.
