Epica DGX 16/32 NetLinx Programming
Overview
The Epica DGX 16/32 recognizes NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs with embedded BCS commands. Use
NetLinx Studio (Version 3 or higher is required) to send these commands to the Epica DGX 16/32, or use
these commands in standard compiled NetLinx Programming code running on a NetLinx Master.
Use the commands and ports specified in this chapter. Note, that the Device in <Device:Port:System> is
the Epica DGX 16/32 enclosure's device number (see "Device Numbering" below). For information on
ICSP connectivity, see the NetLinx Controller's instruction manual and the Programming Guide –
NetLinx Integrated Controllers at www.amx.com.
Device Numbering
The Device ID number is listed in NetLinx Studio's OnLine Tree (FIG. 53) and is also listed in the
Configuration Manager under the Admin menu on the Device Configuration page.

Port 1 – Reserved for future functionality (commands/strings sent to this port are ignored.)
Port 2 – Supports basic BCS commands incorporated into SEND_COMMANDs for
Epica DGX 16/32 control and switching. Other commands/strings are rejected with a notice
being sent back to the NetLinx Master.
Port 3 – Supports diagnostic and auxiliary BCS commands incorporated into
SEND_COMMANDs. Due to the amount of data associated with some of these commands,
responses may take up to 10 seconds to be returned.
