Introduction

NI-900 Specifications (Cont.)

Rear Panel Components (Cont.):

IR RX

• 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix port is used to connect one or more

(Port 6)

(8 maximum) IRX-SM+ swivel mount or IRX-DM+ Decora mount IR

 

receivers.

 

• The IR RX port functions using AMX IR codes (38 KHz and 455 KHz) and

 

works ONLY with AMX IR Receivers such as the IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+.

 

 

Digital I/O

• Four-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being

(Port 5)

capable of voltage sensing.

 

• Input format is software selectable.

 

• Interactive power sensing for IR ports

 

• Channel range = 1 - 4

 

• 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

 

• Single 6-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connector provides I/O port

 

termination

 

Note: This IO uses 5V logic but can handle up to 12V without harm.

 

It can handle up to 12V on the input. At higher voltages you run a higher risk

 

of surge damage.

 

 

IR/Serial

• This multi-port (containing three sets of IR connectors) is capable of

(Ports 2 - 4)

generating IR with the use of an IR Emitter (while in IR mode). These ports

 

can support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz and can also

 

generate IR with no carrier frequency.

 

• Each output is capable of three electrical formats: IR, Serial, and Data

 

• Multiple IR/Serial signals can be generated.

 

• Channel range = 1 - 255

 

• 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)

 

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

 

• Single 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connector provides IR port

 

termination

 

 

AXlink LED

• 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

 

 

AXlink port

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

 

external control devices.

 

 

Ethernet port

• 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.
