7.2 Digital sensors
7.2.1 Initial startup
JUMO sensors with digiLine electronics
Thanks to plug & play, startup of sensors with digiLine electronics is very simple.
As soon as a sensor with digiLine electronics is connected to the bus, the JUMO
AQUIS touch P detects and links it to an available (not yet linked) and suitably
configured input for digital sensors. The status of the link can be checked in the
assignment table. If, prior to connection of the sensor, no input for digital sen-
sors was configured with a suitable sensor type, this can also be done after con-
nection of the sensor. Automatic linking of the sensor to the input for digital
sensor occurs here as well. If several sensors of the same kind need to be put
into operation, they must be put into operation individually in succession or the
link must be established manually in the device menu.
For a sensor to be linked automatically to an input for digital sensors, the follow-
ing conditions must be met:
• An available (unlinked) input for digital sensors must be configured for the
sensor type of the sensor being connected. This can be checked by viewing
the assignment table. All configured inputs for digital sensors are listed there
with configuration information and link status.
• The sensor type listed for the configured input for digital sensors must match
the type of sensor being connected.
• If "TAG check" is activated in the configuration of linkable inputs for digital
sensors, the "Sensor TAG" must match the "TAG number" in the digiLine
electronics of the sensor.
NOTE!
For operation of digital sensors, you need the extra code "JUMO digiLine pro-
tocol activated“ (see Chapter 4.2 "Order Details", page 22)
NOTE!
Only one serial interface of the device can be configured for operation of digital
sensors. If your device has 2 serial interfaces (base unit and possibly an op-
tional board), select 1 interface for connection of digital sensors and set its pro-
tocol to "Modbus digital sensors".
