    AXB-232++ AXB-232++ Overview The AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface (FG5761-10) 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.

    Installation and Wiring Installation and Wiring Overview The AXB-232++ can be used as an independent RS-232/422/485-controlled interface by setting the internal jumpers. Configure the communication parameters using the DIP switches on the front panel. Setting the Internal Jumpers Internal jumper JP4 Internal jumper JP5 front 1998...
  • Page 8: Setting The Dip Switches

    Installation and Wiring Setting the DIP Switches NOTE: Use the DIPSwitch 2.0 application available for free download from AMX to quickly f igure out DIP Switch settings for all types of DIP Switches. Setting the DEVICE DIP switch Set the device number on DEVICE DIP switch, located on the front of the AXB-232++. The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess control system.

    Installation and Wiring Rack-Mounting the AXB-232++ (Optional) To rack-mount the AXB-232++ into the optional AC-RK Accessory Rack Kit: Remove any connected power, and AxLink and RS-232 connectors from the rear panel. Remove the 2 screws on the front panel of the AXB-232++, and remove the front panel as well as the space bracket behind the panel.
  • Page 12: Programming

    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). Syntax: 'B9MOFF' Example: SEND_COMMAND AXB232,'B9MOFF' Sets the data bit mode to normal. B9MON Enables a special mode to override DIP switch settings.

    Programming AXB-232++ Send_Commands (Cont.) CTSPSHF Disables the 'CTSPSH' command. Syntax: 'CTSPSHF' Example: SEND_COMMAND AXB232,'CTSPSHF' EOFF Disables the 'EON ' command (default). Syntax: 'EOFF' Example: SEND_COMMAND AXB232,'EOFF' Forces the AXB-232++ to ignore transmitted characters on its receiver. When using RS-485, the TX and RX are tied together. Syntax: 'EON' Example:...
  • Page 14: Axcess Program Characteristics

    Programming Axcess Program Characteristics The AXB-232++ is capable of running Axcess programs. It handles string processing, relieving AxLink and the Master of the processing times. 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.
  • Page 15 Programming 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 Function Places strings that come from the Master into buffer.
  • Page 16 Programming AXB-232++ Program Statements (Cont.) Turns on a channel or variable for a certain amount of time. Once the time elapses, the PULSE channel or variable is turned off. The Pulse time remains the same value until it is changed within the program.
