Overview

The NX-series of NetLinx Integrated Master Controllers can be programmed to control Ethernet, RS-232/422/
485, Relay, IR, and Input/Output devices, as well as other AMX devices connected via AxLink, through the
use of both NetLinx and Java programming languages. NetLinx programs are developed using the NetLinx
Studio application version 4.x. Java programs are developed using the Cafe Duet application. The NX-series
controllers can also be programmed using Rapid Project Maker (RPM), a cloud-based configuration tool. This
manual provides the specifications, connection information, wiring diagrams, and hardware configuration
options for the NX-1200 (FG2106-01), NX-2200 (FG2106-02), NX-3200 (FG2106-03), and NX-4200
(FG2106-04).
Note: References within this manual to NX X200-Series Controllers are used to describe the NX-1200/2200/
3200/4200 Integrated Controllers when the information applies to all NX-series controllers.

The NX Series NetLinx Integrated Controllers use a combination lithium battery and clock crystal package
called a Timekeeper. Only one Timekeeper unit is installed within a given NX controller. The battery is
guaranteed to operate for five years under the specified temperature range (see Operating Environment in the
Specifications table for each type of NX controller in this chapter for more information.) Actual life is
appreciably longer under normal operating conditions.
