Identifying Sensor or Actuator Channels

A sensor package may have multiple contact closure (CC) or dry contact (DC) channels, such as DX‑D2C6 or DX‑PD2C5.

When the PXE initially detects and automatically manages a sensor package with multiple channels, all channels are assigned with ID numbers in sequence.

If you manually manage these channels by selecting "Automatically assign a sensor number," the PXE assigns ID numbers randomly because this option assumes that users do not care about the sequence. In this case, see the Channel column to identify each channel correctly. For example, CC1 or DC1 is Channel 1, CC2 or DC2 is Channel 2, and so on.
