Front Panel LEDs/Slots:
• LINK/ACT:	Green LED blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and
	terminated correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data
	packets.
• Status:	Green LED blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and commu-
	nicating properly.
• Output:	Red LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and
	Off, sends data strings, etc.
• Input:	Yellow LED blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes,
	strings, commands, channel levels, etc.
• RS-232/422/485:	7 sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 7 are
	transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data.
• Relay:	8 red LEDs light to indicate the relay channels 1 - 8 are active (closed).
	These LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 8.
• 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.

•NetLinx Control Card Slots 1 - 4: Accepts up to 4 compatible NetLinx Cards: such as the NXC-COM2, NXC- I/O10, etc.

Rear Panel Components:

•RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 - 7): 7 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.

• ICSNet:	2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional
	ICSNet daughter card).
• ICSHub Out:	RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller (pro-
	vided by optional ICSNet daughter card).
• 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

•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.

•IR/Serial (Ports 9 - 16): 8 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz with each output being capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial.

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

•IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring distances).
