Introduction

 

 

NI-3101-SIG Specifications (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

Front Panel Components:

 

 

Input/Output LEDs

 

 

• White Output LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels

 

 

On/Off, sends data strings, etc. White Input LED blinks when it receives

 

 

data from button pushes, strings, commands, channel levels, etc.

 

RS-232/422/485 LEDs

 

 

Six sets of blue and white LEDs light to indicate the rear serial Ports 1 - 6

 

 

are transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data:

 

 

- TX LEDs (blue) light when transmitting data

 

 

- RX LEDs (white) light when receiving data

 

 

- LED activity reflects transmission and reception activity

 

Relay LEDs

 

 

Eight blue LEDs light to indicate the rear relay channels 1 - 8 are active

 

 

(closed)

 

 

• These LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 8

 

 

• If the relay is engaged = LED On and if the relay is Off = LED Off

 

IR/Serial LEDs

 

 

Eight blue LEDs light to indicate the rear 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 LEDs

 

 

Eight white LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1-8 are active

 

 

• LED indicator for each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port

 

 

 

 

Rear Panel Connectors:

 

 

RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 - 6)

Six RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/

 

 

XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send),

 

 

and 300-115,200 baud.

 

 

• Channel range = 1-255

 

 

• Channels 1-254 provide feedback

 

 

• Channel 255 (CTS Push channel): Reflects the state of the CTS Input if a

 

 

'CTSPSH' command was sent to the port

 

 

• Output data format for each port is selected via software

 

 

• Six DB9 connectors provide RS-232/422/485 termination

 

Relay (Port 8)

 

 

Eight-channel single-pole single-throw relay ports

 

 

• Each relay is independently controlled.

 

 

• Supports up to 8 independent external relay devices

 

 

• Channel range = 1-8

 

 

• Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A

 

 

• Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide relay

 

 

termination
