Chapter 6: External Control
The BrightEye NXT’s Approach to Control Integration
The BrightEye NXT provides control from external systems like automation and event controllers.
As there is a significant legacy of protocols and usage models in current practice, the BrightEye NXT
supports a variety of external control protocols, offering a range of commands and control capabilities
in order to make control integration as easy as possible. These protocols can be used with the Ethernet
interface. This approach generally allows the Router to be used without adaption in current systems.
RS-232 Interface Option
If requested at the time of ordering, the BrightEye NXT router can include an adaptor cable that
provides a 9-pin female D connector for the RS-232 interface.
