Nexmosphere XM-350 Quick Start Manual

Xperience platform

All of Nexmosphere's controllers are built on the same platform principles. If this is your first time using a Nexmosphere
controller, we recommend to first read
our platform and its terminology.

XM-350 with SM-120 ShopBus Module

The XM-350 is an Xperience controller with 1 X-talk interface and a ShopBus interface. To the ShopBus interface, up to 8
ShopBus modules can be connected. An SM-120 ShopBus module has 8 X-talk interfaces and 10 mono LED outputs.
The API address of an X-talk interface is determined by adding the number of the X-talk interface to the base address of the
XM or ShopBus module. For example if a message is sent to X-talk interface 7 of the ShopBus module closest to the XM-
controller, the API address of the X-talk interface is 217.
An SM-120 ShopModule has 2 LED modules, each with 5 mono LED outputs. Both modules have a separate base address.
The API address of an LED output is determined by adding the number of the output to the base address of the XM or
EM module. For example, if a message is sent to LED output 3 of the first LED module of the SM-120 closest to the XM-
controller, the API address of the LED output is 223.

Hardware setup

1. Connect one or more Elements to any of the X-talk interfaces on the XM-350 or SM-120 module(s).
2. Connect one or more 12V LED strips to any of the mono LED outputs (2.1mm DC
3. Connect a serial cable* to the API interface and to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
4. Connect the SM-120 Module(s) to the XM-350 interface using ShopBus cables.**
5. Connect a 12VDC power supply to one or both of the 12VDC power sockets on the
SM-120 module(s).***
6. Connect a 5VDC power supply to the 5VDC power socket of the XM-350 module.
7. Wait until the green status LED on the XM-350 controller stops blinking. This lasts about 10 seconds.
*Nexmosphere has 2 serial cables available which are compatible with the XM-350: CA-9J9B (RJ9 to 3.5mm jack) and CA-9D9B (RJ9 to DB-9). Next to these
serial cables, a compatible Serial-to-USB cable is also available: CA-9U9B (RJ9 to USB-A). The driver for this cable can be downloaded here.
**Nexmosphere has 2 types of ShopBus cables available: black (CAS-N..B) and red (CAS-N..R). Black ShopBus cables don't have power feedthrough and are
required for connecting SM-120 modules.
***No more then 2 power supplies may be connected to one SM-120 module. The 5VDC Power input on the SM-120 is typically not used.
