Front Panel LEDs/Slots

• LINK/ACT (green): Blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
• Status (green): Blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and communicating properly.
• Output (red): Blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and Off, sends data strings, etc.
• Input (yellow): Blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes, strings, commands, channel levels, etc
• RS-232/422/485 (red): Light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 7 are transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data.
• Relay (red): Light to indicate the relay channels 1 - 8 are active (closed). The LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 8.
• IR/Serial (red): Light to indicate the IR/Serial channels 1 - 8 are transmitting control data on
  Ports 9 - 16. The LED indicator for each IR port remains lit for the length of time that IR/Serial data is being
  generated.
• I/O (yellow): Light when the rear I/O channels 1 - 8 are active. The LED for each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port.
• NetLinx Control Card Slots 1 - 4: Accepts up to 4 compatible NetLinx Cards (NXC-COM2, NXC-I/O10, etc.)

Rear Panel Components

• RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 - 7): 7 RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/ RTS (clear to send/ready to send), and 300-115,200 baud.
• ICSNet: 2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional ICSNet daughter card).
• ICSHub Out: RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller (provided by optional ICSNet daughter card).
• Relay (Port 8):
  • 8-channel single-pole single throw relay ports
  • Each relay is independently controlled
  • Supports up to 8 independent external relay devices
  • Channel range = 1-8
  • Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A
  • Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide relay termination
• Digital I/O (Port 17): 8-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being capable of voltage sensing. Input format is software selectable with interactive power sensing for IR ports.
• IR/Serial (Ports 9 - 16): 8 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz with each output being capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial.
  • 8 IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.
  • IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring distances).
• Program Port: RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a PC. This connector can be used with serial and NetLinx programming commands, as well as other DB9 capable devices, to both upload/download information from the NetLinx Studio program.
• Configuration DIP Switch: Sets the communication parameters for the Program port (see Baud Rate Settings).
• ID Pushbutton: Sets the NetLinx ID (Device only) assignment for the device.
• Ethernet Port: RJ-45 connector provides TCP/IP communication. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. The Ethernet Port LEDs show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information:
  • SPD (speed) - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10
    Mbps.
  • L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly, and
    blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
• AxLink Port: 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector that provides data and power to external control devices. Green AxLink LED indicates the state of the AxLink port.
• Power Port: 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector.
• CardFrame # DIP Switch: Sets the starting address for the Control Cards in the CardFrame. (Factory default CardFrame DIP switch value = 0). The Control Card address range is 1-3064.
• Control Card Connectors (1-4): 20-pin (male) connectors that connect the Control Cards and external equipment to the CardFrame.
• Operating Environment:
  • Operating Temperature: 0° C (32° F) to 50° C (122° F)
  • Operating Humidity: 20% to 85% RH
  • Heat Dissipation (Typical): 36.9 BTU/hr
