  • Page 15: Installation

    Installation Device:Port:System (D:P:S) A device is any hardware component that can be connected to an AXlink or ICSNet bus. Each device must be assigned a unique number to locate that device on the bus. The NetLinx programming language allows numbers in the range 1-32,767 for ICSNet (255 for AXlink). Only the Device value can be set through the DIP switch settings mentioned above.
  • Page 16 Installation To prevent repetition of the installation, test the incoming wiring by connecting the Controller’s connectors to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the unit is receiving power and functioning properly. Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected 12 VDC-compliant power supply. 6.

    Connections and Wiring Setting the Configuration DIP Switch (for the Program Port) Prior to installing the Controller, use the Configuration DIP switch to set the baud rate used by the Program port for communication. The Configuration DIP switch is located on the front of the Integrated Controllers.

    Connections and Wiring Think of the PRD Mode (On) equating to a PC’s SAFE Mode setting. This mode allows a user to continue powering a unit, update the firmware, and download a new program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program. Power must be cycled to the unit after activating/deactivating this mode on the Program Port DIP switch #1.

  • Page 19: Modes And Front Panel Led Blink Patterns

    Both the NI-700 and NI-900 have an AXlink port and adjacent status LED (FIG. 1). This port allows the NI to support AMX Legacy AXlink devices such as G3 touch panels (ex: CP4/A) and PosiTrack Pilot devices. A green LED shows AXlink data activity. When the AXlink port is operating normally, blink...

    Connections and Wiring NI-700 FIG. 1 AXlink connector and LED The AXlink port can be used to supply power to downstream AXlink-compatible devices as long as both the power required is LESS THAN 2 Amps total and the external power supply feeding the NI unit has the necessary power capability.

  • Page 21: Wiring A Power Connection

    Wiring A Power Connection To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cables from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on connector (FIG. 2). 1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.

  • Page 23: Irx-Rx Port: Connection And Wiring

    The NI-700 and NI-900 units both have a single rear 4-pin IR receiver port (IR RX). The IR RX port functions using AMX IR codes (38 KHz and 455 KHz) and works ONLY with AMX IR Receivers such as the IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+.

  • Page 24: Input/Output (I/O) Port: Connections And Wiring

    Connections and Wiring Input/Output (I/O) Port: Connections and Wiring The I/O port responds to either switch closures, voltage level (high/low) changes, or it can be used for logic-level outputs. You can connect up to four devices to the NI-700 or NI-900 (FIG. 7). FIG.

  • Page 25: Ir/Serial Port: Connections And Wiring

    IR/Serial Port: Connections and Wiring You can connect only one IR- or Serial-controllable device to the IR/Serial connectors on the rear of the NI-700 (FIG. 8) but you can connect up to three IR- or Serial-controllable devices to the rear of the NI-900.
