The compact SI-2 System Integrator provides a 5-way connector block at one end Serial connection for the iCANnet link and a 9-pin D-type female socket...
If it is not connected as an end device in the iCANnet chain, you need to disable termination. Note: The connection to the serial device is treated CAT 5 separately and has no impact on whether or not the SI-2 cable should be terminated. +12V...

RS232 communication settings of the device match those of the SI-2 unit. For details about discovering or changing the communication set- tings for the connected device, please refer to docu- mentation supplied with it.
You can use these to further define the action that should occur during the SI-2 startup phase. Note: When selecting the RS232 Serial Message option, the available output message strings can be viewed and altered within the ‘Output Strings’...
Once defined, you can then use the related ‘Input Actions’ page to determine what action the SI-2 should take when any particular message is received. To define or alter an input string 1 Click on the ‘Input Strings’...
Input actions The ‘Input Actions’ tab allows you to determine what should occur when a received message from the con- nected device matches one of those defined within the ‘Input Strings’ page. To define or alter an input action 1 Click on the ‘Input Actions’ tab. 2 Click on the required entry to highlight it and then click on the ‘Action Type’...
Output strings The ‘Output Strings’ tab is where you can define one or more message strings that need to be sent to the connected device, when prompted by certain iCANnet actions. Once defined, you can then use the related ‘Output Actions’ page to link iCANnet actions to the defined string message(s).
In operation, when a received iCANnet action then matches the pa- rameters defined within this page, the SI-2 unit will send the message string (from the Output Strings page) that corresponds to the row number (01, 02, 03, etc.) of the matched action on this page.
Note: Sequence numbers monitored from 1 to 16 within the ‘Output Actions’ page coincide with the sequences that may be programmed within the SI-2 unit itself. If a sequence number below 17 is monitored to cause an output action and is also used as an SI-2-contained se- quence, then both events will take place simultaneously.
Diagnostics The Diagnostics page provides tools for testing all as- pects of your SI-2 installation. The page is split into six separate areas as shown here: Input Actions - allows you to Output Actions - allows you Output Strings - allows you to...
