Front Panel LEDs/Slots:
• LINK/ACT:

Green LED blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and
terminated correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data
packets.

• Status:

Green LED blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and commu-
nicating properly.

• Output:

Red LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and
Off, sends data strings, etc.

• Input:

Yellow LED blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes,
strings, commands, channel levels, etc.

• RS-232/422/485:

7 sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 7 are
transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data.

• Relay:

8 red LEDs light to indicate the relay channels 1 - 8 are active (closed).
These LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 8.

• IR/Serial:

8 red LEDs light to indicate the IR/Serial channels 1 - 8 are
transmitting control data on Ports 9 - 16. LED indictor for each IR port
remains lit for the length of time that IR/Serial data is being generated.

• I/O:

8 yellow LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1 - 8 are active. The LED
for each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port.

• NetLinx Control Card Slots 1 - 4: Accepts up to 4 compatible NetLinx Cards: such as the NXC-COM2, NXC-

I/O10, etc.

Rear Panel Components:
• RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 - 7):

7 RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/
XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send),
and 300-115,200 baud.

• ICSNet:

2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional
ICSNet daughter card).

• ICSHub Out:

RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller (pro-
vided by optional ICSNet daughter card).

• Relay (Port 8):

• Eight-channel single-pole single throw relay ports
• Each relay is independently controlled.
• Supports up to 8 independent external relay devices
• Channel range = 1-8
• Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A
Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide relay
termination

• Digital I/O (Port 17):

8-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being capable
of voltage sensing. Input format is software selectable with interactive
power sensing for IR ports.

• IR/Serial (Ports 9 - 16):

8 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142
MHz with each output being capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial.
• 8 IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.
• IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring distances).
