Chapter 4 Set and Operate Your Module
Comparators 1 and 2
You can store two separate four-byte values and be notified when the SSI sensor 
attains or exceeds the stored value. Comparators 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive: 
only one comparator can be active at any given time.
You can set a comparator to trigger on an increasing sensor count, decreasing 
count, or regardless of sensor direction, by choosing Both for the comparator 
control value. There are two modes of comparator operation: manual and 
automatic. The green COMP LED on the front of the module illuminates when 
a comparator value is reached. The LED goes OFF when comparator reset 
occurs.
See the table for a listing of values for DeviceNet name, Logix Designer or 
RSLogix 5000 tag, and Logix Designer or RSLogix 5000 field name for Manual 
and Automatic mode.
Manual Mode
Select Manual mode by entering a comparator value and a corresponding control 
value (increasing, decreasing, or both). If you are using Comparator 2, for 
example, you notice Bit 7 of Status Byte 0 (C2ST) is 1 when Comparator 2 is 
active. To reset the comparator, toggle (set to 1 for at least 0.5 ms, then back to 0) 
the Comparator 2 acknowledge bit, Bit 2 of the Master Ack Byte (CC2).
You can also reset Comparator 2 by turning it OFF through the configuration. 
Comparator 1 uses Bits 6 (C1ST) and Bit 4 (C1R) of Status Byte 0 for operation. 
Bit1 (CC1) of the Master Ack Byte is used for reset. Like Comparator 2, you can 
also reset Comparator 1 by turning it OFF through the configuration.
