Introduction

Introduction

NetLinx Integrated Master Controllers can be programmed to control RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/Serial, and Input/Output devices through the use of both the NetLinx programming language and the NetLinx Studio application (version 2.4 or higher). Another key feature of this products is the ability to easily access the configuration switches without having to remove a

cover plate.

These NI Controllers are Duet-compatible and can be upgraded via firmware. Duet is a dual-interpreter firmware platform from AMX which combines the proven reliability and power of NetLinx with the extensive capabilities of the Java®2 MicroEdition (J2ME) platform. Duet simplifies the programming of a system that includes the NI-900 and other third party devices by standardizing device and function definitions, defaulting touch panel button assignments, and controlling feedback methods. Dynamic Device Discovery makes integration even easier by automatically identifying and communicating with devices which support this new beaconing technology.

These NI Controllers use a combination lithium battery and clock crystal package called a Timekeeper. Only one Timekeeper unit is installed within a given NI controller. The battery can be expected to have up to 3 years of usable life under very adverse conditions. Actual life is appreciably longer under normal operating conditions. This calculation is based on storing the unit without power in 50° C (120° F) temperature until battery levels are no longer acceptable. The part number for a replacement battery is 57-0032.
