Using the DXP-PRO Wizard

DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide
The above example uses 3 NXC-COM2 cards for communication to the external Serial
devices. If any of the other Master devices (NI-Series and ME260/64) are selected, then
there will be no need to aquire an AXB-232++ or utilize the AXlink Device IDs, as these
other Masters contain an ICSNet communication port. So to change the need to use an
AXB-232++, simply choose a Master other than the NI-700.
To add the Serial device within the Device Data tab:
1.
Select the type of equipment you are adding from the
Source Type
drop-down list.
2.
Enter a name for the device in the
Display Name
field. This is the name for the device that will
appear on the touch panel.
3.
Use the radio buttons to select
Serial
as the Control Method associated with the new device.
When you select a desired CD/DVD model from the Control Logic field, the changer size is
automatically filled and no longer alterable (greyed-out).
4.
Select the required baud rate for the Serial device from the
Baud Rate
drop-down list.
Adding Ethernet-Controlled Devices to the Project
To add a device to your system, click the

tab.
In the Device Data tab:
1.
Select the type of equipment you are adding from the

drop-down list.
2.
Enter a name for the device in the

Good examples of Ethernet capable devices are the MAX units.
4.
Use the radio buttons to select
IP
as the Control Method associated with the new device.
5.
Select the specific device from the Control Logic drop-down list.
6.
Enter the
IP Address

The control methods available for selection depend on the device type specified.
For example, if you select a Camera, the only control method options are
Serial
and
AXlink
(the remaining radio buttons are both disabled).
The control methods available for selection depend on the device type specified.
For example, if you select an MP3 player, the only control method option is
IP
(the
remaining radio buttons are disabled).
If the option to "Warn on duplicate IP Addresses" has been selected from the
Edit
>
Preferences
dialog, anytime you try to assign a duplicate IP Address to an Ethernet-
controllable device, you will be prompted with a pop-up dialog.
