Front Panel Components:
Program port
• RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a computer.
This port can be used with both Serial and NetLinx programming commands. It is
also used to both upload and download information from the NetLinx Studio 2.4
program.
Configuration DIP switch
• Sets the communication parameters for the Program port.
IR RX LED
• Red LED lights to when IR data is being received via the rear IR RX port.
IR LED
• Red LED lights during the transmission of IR or Serial data via the rear IR port.
I/O LEDs
• Four yellow LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1-4 are active. LED indicator
for each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port.
Serial LEDs
• Two sets of red and yellow LEDs light when the rear DB9 Ports (1 & 2) are
transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data:
- TX LEDs (red) light when transmitting data
- RX LEDs (yellow) light when receiving data
- LED activity reflects transmission and reception activity
• These LEDs do not reflect changes in either the RTS or CTS when hardware
handshaking is used.
LINK/ACT
• Green LED lights when the Ethernet cable is connected and an active link is
established. This LED also blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
Status
• Green LED lights when the Controller is programmed and communicating
properly.
Output
• Red LED lights when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On/Off, sends
data strings, etc.
Input
• Yellow LED lights when the Controller receives data from button pushes, strings,
commands, channel levels, etc.
ID pushbutton
Provides the NetLinx ID (D:S) assignment for the device.
• The D notation is used to represent a device number.
• The S notation is used to represent the System number of the Master.
Refer to the NetLinx Integrated Controller WebConsole & Programming Guide for
details.
Rear Panel Connectors:
RS-232/422/485
(Ports 1 & 2)
• Two 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.
• Channel range = 1 - 255
• Channels 1 - 254 provide feedback
• Channel 255 (CTS Push channel): Reflects the state of the CTS Input if a
'CTSPSH' command was sent to the port
• Output data format for each port is selected via software
• Two DB9 connectors provide RS-232/422/485 termination
