Ports
RS-232/422/485 ports
(Ports #1-6)
Six RS-232/422/485 control ports with XON/XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), and CTS/RTS
(clear to send/ready to send), 300-230,400 baud.
Channel range = 1-255
• Channels 1-254 provide feedback only.
• Channel 255 (CTS Push channel): Reflects the state of the CTS Input if a 'CTSPSH'
command was sent to the port.
Relay port
(Port #7)
12-channel relay port.
Channel range = 1-12
IR/Serial ports
(Ports #8-15)
8 IR/Serial control ports that support high-frequency carriers up to 1.14 MHz.
Channel range = 1-32,767
• Channels 1-253 (output): IR commands.
• Channel 254 (feedback): Power Fail (used with 'PON' and 'POF' commands).
• Channel 255 (feedback): Power status (when IOLink is set).
I/O port
(Port #16)
8-channel I/O port for contact closure, 0-5 VDC voltage sensing, or interactive power sensing
for IR ports.
Channel range = 1-8
Front Panel Components
Card slot
Accepts NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master or Hub card.
• NXC-NH - Hub Card
• NXC-HS - Hub Server Card
• NXC-HE - Hub Expander Card
RS-232/422/485 LEDs 6 sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate ports 1-6 are transmitting or receiving RS-232,
422, or 485 data:
• TX LEDs (red) blink when transmitting data.·
• RX LEDs (yellow) blink when receiving data.
Relay LEDs
12 red LEDs light to indicate relay channels 1-12 are active (closed).
IR/Serial LEDs
8 red LEDs light to indicate IR/Serial channels 1-8 are transmitting control data.
I/O LEDs
8 yellow LEDs light when I/O channels 1-8 are active.
Rear Panel Components
ICSP LED (green)
Blinks in unison with the Master card's NetLinx LED indicating the ICSP bus is synchronized.
ID pushbutton
Sets the NetLinx ID (D:P:S) assignment for the NXI.
RS-232/422/485 ports
(Ports #1-6)
Six 10-pin (male) connectors that support bi-directional RS-232/422/485 communication
(XON/XOFF, CTS/RTS, 300-230,400 baud).
• Channel range = 1-255
• Channels 1-254 provide feedback only.·
• Channel 255 (CTS Push channel): Reflects the state of the CTS input if a 'CTSPSH'
command was sent to the port.
