Introduction

NI-700 Specifications (Cont.)

Rear Panel Components (Cont.):

IR RX

4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix port is used to connect one or more (8 maximum)

(Port 5)

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 capable of

(Port 4)

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

4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix port is capable of generating IR with the use of an IR

(Port 3)

Emitter (while in IR mode). This port can support high-frequency carriers of up

 

to 1.142 MHz and can also generate IR with no carrier frequency.

 

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

 

• Single IR/Serial signal 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.

 

 

Ethernet Link/

• Ethernet Port: RJ-45 port for 10/100 Mbps communication. LEDs show

Activity LED

communication activity, connection status, 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

 

and terminated correctly, and blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.

 

 

Power port

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

 

• Use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the NI-700 through

 

the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector on the rear panel.
