Front Panel LEDs:
• LINK/ACT:
Green LED blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and
terminated correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data
packets.
• Status:
Green LED blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and communi-
cating properly.
• Output:
Red LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and
Off, sends data strings, etc.
• Input:
Yellow LED blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes,
strings, commands, channel levels, etc.
• RS-232/422/485:
7 sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 7 are trans-
mitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data.
• Relay:
• Eight-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
• IR/Serial:
8 red LEDs light to indicate the IR/Serial channels 1 - 8 are
transmitting control data on Ports 9 - 16. LED indictor for each IR port
remains lit for the length of time that IR/Serial data is being generated.
• I/O:
8 yellow LEDs 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.
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 (pro-
vided by optional ICSNet daughter card).
• Relay (Port 8):
8-channel single-pole single throw relay ports with each relay being indepen-
dently controlled and supporting up to 8 independent
external relay devices.
• 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.
