Power port

•Eight-channel binary I/O port for contact closure

•Each input is capable of voltage sensing. Input format is software selectable.

•Interactive power sensing for IR ports

•Channel range = 1-8

•All inputs are assigned to respective IR/Serial ports for "automatic" power control through the use of software commands. Power control is provided via commands such as: ’PON’, ’POF’, ’POD’, ’DELAY’, I/O Link etc.).

•Contact closure between GND and an I/O port is detected as a PUSH

•When used as voltage input - I/O port detects a low signal (0- 1.5 VDC) as a PUSH and a high signal (3.5 - 5 VDC) as a RELEASE

•When used as an output - each I/O port acts as a switch to GND and is rated at 200 mA @ 12 VDC

•One 10-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connector provides I/O port termination

•Eight IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers up to

1.142 MHz

•Each output is capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial

•Eight IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.

•Channel range = 1-32,767

•Channels 1-128 (output): IR commands

•Channels 129-253: used as reference channels

•Channel 254 (feedback): Power Fail (used with 'PON' and 'POF' commands)

•Channel 255 (feedback): Power status (when IO Link is set)

•Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide IR/Serial port termination

•Single RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a computer; used with serial commands, NetLinx programming commands, other DB9 capable devices, and to upload/download information from the NetLinx Studio 2.2 program.

•Use this DIP switch to set the communication parameters for the rear RS232 Program port.

•Sets the NetLinx ID (D) assignment for the device.

•The D notation is used to explicitly represent a device number.

•Single RJ-45 port for 10/100 Mbps communication. The Ethernet Port automatically negotiates the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode.

•LEDs show communication activity, connections, speeds, and mode information:

SPD-speed - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

L/A-link/activity - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables are connected/terminated correctly and blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.

•One green LED indicates the state of the AXlink connector port.

•Normal AXlink activity = 1 blink/second

•Abnormal AXLink activity = cycle of 3 consecutive blinks and then Off

•4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector provides data and power to external control devices.

•2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector
