Page 5: Product Information
Product Information The AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface is an AXlink bus controller that provides remote control for devices that require a variety of control protocols. The AXB-232++ extends RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 control to remote sources over the 4-wire AXlink data/power bus. Onboard processing and memory allows the controller to take on complex tasks by itself, reducing the processing burden for the Axcess control system. -

7. Replace the panel, and refasten the screws. 8. Reconnect the RS-232/422/485 connectors. Setting the DIP Switches Use the DIPSwitch 2.0 application available for free download from AMX to quickly figure out DIP Switch settings for all types of DIP Switches. Setting the DEVICE DIP switch Set the device number on can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess control system. -
Page 9: Setting The Rs-232/422 Dip Switch
Setting the RS-232/422 DIP switch Set the stop bits, data bits, parity, and baud rate on the RS-232/422 DIP switch, located on the front panel (see FIG. 1 on page 1). The AXB-232++ supports the following asynchronous data standards: Stop bits 1 and 2 Data bits 7, 8, and 9 Parity None, Odd, Even, Mark, and Space Baud rates 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, 19,200 and 38,400. -

Page 13: Programming
Programming Send_Commands The AXB-232++ supports the same command set as the AXC-232. The following table lists the AXB-232++ Send_Commands. AXB-232++ Send_Commands B9MOFF Sets data bit mode to normal with DIP switch settings (default). B9MON Enables a special mode to override DIP switch settings. BAUDHIGH Enables 115,200 baud rate when the DIP switch is set to... - Page 14 Programming AXB-232++ Send_Commands (Cont.) CHARD Sets delay between all transmitted characters to the increment specified. CTSPSH Enables PUSHes and RELEASEs. CTSPSHF Disables the 'CTSPSH' command. EOFF Disables the 'EON ' command (default). Forces the AXB-232++ to ignore the transmitted char- acters on its receiver.

AXB-232++ Send_Commands (Cont.) RXOFF AXB-232++ does not pass on received characters to the Master (default). RXON Enables AXB-232++ to send incoming characters received to the Master. TXCLR Clears and stops any charac- ters waiting in the Transmit buffer. XOFF Disables software handshaking (default). -
Page 16: Send_String Escape Sequences
Programming Send_String Escape Sequences The AXB-232++ does not regard certain three-character combinations within a Send_String program as literal characters, but as commands. The following table lists those combinations. Send_String Escape Sequences 27,17,<time> Sends a break character of the specified length of time. 27,18,1 Sets the ninth data bit to 1 for all of the following characters... -

AXB-232++ Program Statements The Axcess program of the AXB-232++ communicates with the master as Device 0. Its device communicates with the RS232/422 Input/Output (I/O) of the AXB-232++ as Device 1. The following table lists AXB-232++ statements. AXB-232++ Program Statements Statement CREATE_BUFFER 0,buffer CREATE_BUFFER... -
Page 18: Xmodem Timing Commands
Programming Xmodem Timing Commands The following table lists the AXB-232++ Xmodem timing commands. Xmodem timeouts exist to accommodate potential Ethernet delays and for consistency among and within products. Any Xmodem timing command will change timing and retries for Axcess code download as well as Softrom transfer. -
