Programming

Overview

This section describes the Send_Commands, Send_Strings, and Channel commands you can use to
program the Integrated Controller. The examples in this section require a declaration in the
DEFINE_DEVICE section of your program to work correctly. Refer to the NetLinx Programming
Language
instruction manual for specifics about declarations and DEFINE_DEVICE information.

Master Send_Commands

These commands are specific to the Master and not the Controller. These commands are sent to the DPS
0:1:0 (the Master you are connected to).

A device (<DEV>) must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the
Device: Port: System (<D:P:S>).

The internal G4WC Send command (to Master 0:1:0) has been revised to add
G4WebControl devices to Web control list displayed in the browser.
Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <D:P:S>,"'G4WC "Name/Description",IP

Address/URL,IP Port,Enabled'"

• Name/Description = A string, enclosed in double quotes, that is the

description of the G4 Web Control instance. It is displayed in the browser.

server, or a URL to the G4 Web Control server.

• IP Port = A string containing the IP Port of the G4 Web Control Server.
• Enabled = 1 or 0. If it is a 1 then the link is displayed. If it is a 0 then the link is

disabled.

The combination of Name/Description, IP Address/URL, and IP Port are used
to determine each unique listing.
