 NetLinx Integrated Controller (No Master) - Operation Reference Guide

Programming

Overview

This section describes the Send_Commands, Send_Strings, and Channel commands you can use to program the NXI. 
The examples in this section require a declaration in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of your program to work correctly. 
Refer to the 

NetLinx Programming Language

 instruction manual for specifics about declarations and DEFINE_DEVICE 

information.

Using the ID Button

The ID Button on the rear panel of the NXI (FIG. 3 on page 1) is used in conjunction with the NetLinx Studio software 
program to allow you to assign new Device and System numbers for the NXI.

1.

Using NetLinx Studio, place the system in Identity (ID) Mode. ID Mode means the entire system is put on hold 
while it waits for an event from any NetLinx device in the named system (for example, pushing the ID button on the 
NXI). The device that generates the first event is the identified device.

2.

Press the ID Mode button to generate an event from the NXI and assign new device and system numbers in NetLinx 
Studio.

Device:Port:System (D:P:S)

A device is any hardware component that can be connected to an AXlink or ICSNet bus. Each device must be assigned a 
unique number to locate that device on the bus. The NetLinx programming language allows numbers in the range 0-
32,767. Device 0 refers to the local master; numbers greater than 32,767 are reserved.

NetLinx requires a Device:Port:System (D:P:S) specification. This D:P:S triplet can be expressed as a series of 
constants, variables separated by colons, or a DEV structure. For example:

STRUCTURE DEV

{

INTEGER Number  // Device number

INTEGER Port    // Port on device

INTEGER System  // System the device belongs to

}

The D:P:S notation is used to explicitly represent a device number, port and system. For example, 128:1:0 represents the 
first port on device 128 on this system. If the system and Port specifications are omitted, (e.g. 128), system 0 (indicating 
this system) and port 1 (the first port) is assumed. Here's the syntax:

NUMBER:PORT:SYSTEM

where:

Program Port Commands

The Program port commands listed in the following table can be sent directly to the Master Card using a terminal 
program (i.e. Telnet). Be sure that your PC's COM port and terminal program's communication settings match those in 
the table below:

In your terminal program, type "Help" or a question mark ("?") and <Enter> to display the Program port commands 
listed in the following table.

NUMBER:

16-bit integer represents the device number

PORT:

16-bit integer represents the port number (in the range 1 through the number of 
ports on the Controller or device)

SYSTEM:

16-bit integer represents the system number (0 = this system)
