Send_Commands for the IR/Serial/Data Ports (Cont.)
CTON
Sets the IR pulse
(single) on time for
each channel digit
and IR functions.
GET BAUD
Gets the IR/Serial/
Data port's current
communication
parameters.
GET MODE
Gets the IR/Serial/
Data port's current
mode setting.
IROFF
Stops IR output on
the designated
device.

Axcent and Axcent Pro Integrated Axcess Controllers
CTON sets the pulse length for each digit and CTOF sets the time between digits or
any other pulse.
Syntax:
"'CTON',<time>"
Variables:
<time> = 0 - 255 in tenths of a second; Time is stored in permanent memory. System
default is 5 (.5 second).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CTON',20"
Sets the pulse length to 2 seconds.
The port sends the data through the master's PROGRAM port.
Syntax:
'GET BAUD'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'GET BAUD'
System response example:
Device 1,38400,N,8,1
Syntax:
'GET MODE'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'GET MODE'
System response example:
Device 8 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
Syntax:
'IROFF'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'IROFF'
Stops transmitting IR signals.
Syntax:
'POD'
Disables current PON (power on) or POF (power off) command settings. Channel 255
changes are enabled.
Syntax:
'POF'
Sends IR function 28 (if available) or 9 to turn device power off. After three attempts, if
the linked I/O channel still detects a power-on status, the controller starts processing
stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 28 or 9 fails to turn the external
device's power off, the controller sends a PUSH and RELEASE of channel 248 and
generates a power failure error. If the device is turned on manually, this command turns
the external device's power off unless a PON (power on) or POD (disable POF) com-
mand is received. Refer to the SET IO LINK command.
Syntax:
'PON'
Sends IR function 27 (if available) or 9 to turn device power on. After three attempts, if
the linked I/O channel still detects a power-off status, the controller starts processing
stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 27 or 9 fails to turn the external
device's power on, the controller sends a PUSH and RELEASE of channel 248 and
generates a power failure error. If the device is turned off manually, this command turns
external device power on unless a POF (power off) or POD (disable 'PON' command)
command is received.
