termination

 

 

• 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.

RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller (pro-

 

vided by optional ICSNet daughter card).

 

 

• Relay (Port 8):

8-channel single-pole single throw relay ports with each relay being indepen-

 

dently controlled and supporting up to 8 independent

 

external relay devices.

 

 

• 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.
