RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/Serial, and Input/Output devices using the NetLinx programming language and NetLinx Studio program. Depending on your specific control needs, the NXI can be equipped with either a Master or Hub Card. For use as a master controller, the NXI accepts the NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master Card.
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 Six 10-pin (male) connectors that support bi-directional RS-232/422/485 communication (Ports #1-6) (XON/XOFF, CTS/RTS, 300-230,400 baud).

NXI NetLinx Integrated Controller NXI Specifications (Cont.) Rear Panel Components (Cont.) Relay port Three 8-pin (male) relay connectors (normally open) that support up to 12 independent (Port #7) external relay devices. Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A.
Slide the card about halfway into the slot. Inside the Master Card slot on NXI, locate the 6-pin control cable connector. Plug the connector from the NXI into the 6-pin terminal on the Master or Hub Card. This connector is keyed to ensure correct orientation.

Connections and Wiring IR/Serial Connections and Wiring You can connect up to eight IR- or serial-controllable devices to the IR/Serial connectors (ports 8-15). These connectors accept an IR emitter (CC-NIRC) that mounts on the device's IR window, or a mini-plug (CC-NSER) that connects to the device's control jack.
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.
Programming Program Port Commands Command Description DATE Displays the current date and day of the week. DEVICE STATUS <D:P:S> Displays a list of all active (on) channels for the specified D:P:S. Enter DEVICE STATUS without the D:P:S variable, the Master Card displays ports, channels, and version information.
Programming Program Port Commands (Cont.) SET IP <D:P:S> Prompts you to enter a Host Name, Type (DHCP or Fixed), IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP address. Enter Y (yes) to approve/store the information in the Master Card. Entering N (no) cancels the operation. SET TIME Prompts you to enter the new time for the Master Card.
The following commands enable or disable the LEDs on the NXI. LED Send_Commands LED-DIS Disables the LEDs. Issue this command to port 1 to disable all the LEDs on the NXI. When activity occurs on a port(s) or NXI, the LEDs will not light.
Programming RS232/422/485 Ports Channels RS232/422/485 Ports Channels CTS push channel: Reflects the state of the CTS input if a 'CTSPSH' command was sent to the port. RS-232/422/485 Send_Commands RS-232/422/485 Send_Commands B9MOFF Sets the port's communication parameters for stop and data bits according to the software settings on the RS-232 port (default).
• Transmits IR signals for 8 (IR code 18). • Waits for the time set with the CTOF command elapses. If the IR code for Enter (IR code 21) is programmed, the NXI performs steps 5 and 6. • Transmits IR signals for Enter (IR code 21).
Programming IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.) IROFF Halts and clears all IR output on the designated port. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'IROFF' Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'IROFF' Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port. Disables active PON (power on) or POF (power off) command settings. Channel 255 changes are enabled.
Programming IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.) PTON Sets the duration of power pulses in .10-second increments. Time is stored in permanent memory. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>," 'PTON',<Time>" Variable: Time = 0-255 in tenths of a second increments; default = 5 (.5 seconds). Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"...
Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'XCH <Channel>' Variable: Channel = 0-999 ZAP HIGH Deletes all IR data stored in the NXI ports 12-15. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, 'ZAP HIGH' Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_4, 'ZAP HIGH' Deletes IR commands in ports 12-15 of the IR_4 device.
Programming IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.) ZAP LOW Deletes all IR data stored in the NXI ports 8-11. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, 'ZAP LOW' Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, 'ZAP LOW' Deletes IR commands in ports 8-11 of the IR_1 device. Input/Output Send_Commands The following Send_Commands program the I/O ports on the NXI.
