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). These 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. LED indictor 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 volt-
age sensing. Input format is software selectable with interactive power sensing for
IR ports.
