NXF CardFrame and NetModules

Overview

NetLinx Control Cards can be installed in the NetLinx® (NXF) CardFrame, the NI-4000, or in modules for stand-alone operation. The NXF CardFrame accommodates a NetLinx Master (or Hub) card, up to twelve NetLinx Control cards, and provides a back plane to distribute power and data to/from the cards. The NXF CardFrame provides terminals on the rear panel for connection to the control cards and a system power supply. A DIP switch on the rear panel sets the CardFrame's base device number. The NetLinx Control Cards covered in this document are:

•	NXC-COM2	Dual COM Port Control Card
•	NXC-I/O10	Input/Output Control Card
•	NXC-IRS4	4-Port IR/S Control Card
•	NXC-REL10	Relay Control Card
•	NXC-VAI4	Analog Voltage Control Card
