AMX AXlink Bus Controllers AXB-232++ - Manual (Page 6)

Product Information
2 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface
Specifications
The following table lists the specifications for the AXB-232++.
Specifications
Power 12 VDC @ 160 mA
Processor On board 32-bit processor and 384K (of non-volatile memory) run Axcess
programs independent of the control system. This relieves the AXlink bus and
controller for the processing time for controlling those devices. (Requires Axcess
Version 3.0 or higher.)
Asynchronous data
standards • Baud rates - 300, 600, 1200. 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400.
56400 is supported via the BAUDMED Send Command (see the
Send_Commands section on page 9 for details).
115200 is supported via the BAUDHIGH Send Command (see the
Send_Commands section on page 9 for details).
• Data bits - 7, 8, and 9
• Stop bits - 1 and 2
• Parity - None, Odd, Even, Mark and Space
Buffers • 1KB input buffer
• 1KB AXlink buffer
Front Panel
AXlink LEDs Green AXlink status indicator:
• Full-Off indicates no power is being received or the controller is not functioning
properly.
• One blink per second power is active and AXlink communication is functioning.
• Full-On indicates power is active and AXlink data communication is not
functional.
RX LED (Red) Blinks to indicate the AXB-232++ is receiving RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 data.
The RX LED blinks even if the data being received is incorrect.
TX LED (Red) Blinks to indicate the AXB-232++ is sending RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 data.
DEVICE DIP Switch An eight-position DIP switch used to set the device number for the AXB-232++.
Refer to Setting the DEVICE DIP switch, on page 4, and Setting jumper JP5 to set
the RS-422 port for RS-485 use section on page 4 for more information.
RS232/422 DIP Switch An eight-position DIP switch used to set the communication parameters for the
RS-232/422 device. Refer to Setting the RS-232/422 DIP switch, on page 5, for
more information.
