xControl LCD rear
EIA-485 termination
switch
This switch has two functions:
When set to IN, it switches on the termination load for the last
xControl LCD in a chain (or a single unit).
When set to OUT, it specifies that the device will be daisy
chained and will not be the last device in the chain, or that
bi-directional control will be used. Normally, an xControl
LCD is used to control devices in an NWare project, but the
unit also supports bi-directional control, where the NWare
xControl LCD device can be used to control the physical
xControl LCD device.
RJ-45 ports
Standard RJ-45 ports that accept shielded CAT5 or CAT6 data
cables. The ports can supply power as well as data.
Each port can be connected to a NION RS-485 port, or another
xControl LCD in a daisy-chain configuration.
