Chapter 4 - Infrastructure design considerations Introduction Before you start the installation, it is important to consider how each xControl LCD will be connected in order to receive power and allow data transfer. The infrastructure must be designed and installed correctly, in order to provide reliable and error-free performance. Each xControl LCD requires an EIA-485 connection to a NION.

Chapter 4 - Infrastructure design considerations Daisy-chained xControl LCD set up In this configuration, an EIA-485 connection is made between the first xControl LCD and a NION. The remaining xControl LCDs are daisy-chained to the first unit. The NION is connected to a power outlet, as well as the control and CobraNet networks.
xControl LCD Hardware Manual In the example below, an RS-485 power injector is used to boost the available power for the devices in the chain. Pins 4 (power) and 5 (ground) of the cable would be used for the power connection.

Chapter 4 - Infrastructure design considerations If the NION is positioned in the middle of the daisy chain, double the length of cable (and number of devices) can be used. Tip: If a longer cable length is required, larger gauge cable can be used, or power can be applied directly to the daisy chain, supplementing the power available from the NION.
