NXC-IRS4 4-Port IR/S Control Card

NXC-IRS4 Send_Commands (Cont.)

Command

Description

 

 

GET MODE

Poll the IR/Serial port's configuration parameters and report the active mode settings to the device

 

requesting the information.

 

The port responds with: <port #> <mode>,<carrier>,<io link channel>.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET MODE'"

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET MODE"

 

The system could respond with:

 

PORT 4 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0

IROFF

Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands being output on the designated port.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'IROFF'"

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'IROFF"

 

Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port.

 

 

POD

Disable previously active 'PON' (power on) or 'POF' (power off) command settings. Channel 255

 

changes are enabled. This command is used in conjunction with the I/O Link command.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POD'"

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POD"

 

Disables the 'PON' and 'POF' command settings on the IR_1 device.

 

 

POF

Turn OFF a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input. If

 

at any time the IR sensor input reads that the device is ON (such as if someone turned it on manually

 

at the front panel), IR function 28 (if available) or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an

 

attempt to turn the device back OFF. If three attempts fail, the IR port will continue executing

 

commands in the buffer.

 

If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer

 

and trying to turn the device OFF until a 'PON' or 'POD' command is received. If the IR port fails to

 

turn the device OFF, a PUSH and RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure

 

error. You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel.

 

Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of this command. You can only use the PON and

 

POF commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POF'"

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POF'"

 

Sends power down IR commands 28 (if present) or 9 to the IR_1 device.

 

 

PON

Turn ON a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input. If

 

at any time the IR sensor input reads that the device is OFF (such as if one turned it off manually at

 

the front panel), IR function 27 (if available) or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an attempt

 

to turn the device back ON. If three attempts fail, the IR port will continue executing commands in the

 

buffer and trying to turn the device On.

 

If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue trying to turn the device ON until a

 

'POF' or 'POD' command is received. If the IR port fails to turn the device ON, a PUSH and

 

RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure error. You can only use the 'PON' and

 

'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel. Channel 255 changes are disabled

 

after receipt of this command.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PON'"

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PON'"

 

Sends power up IR commands 27 or 9 to the IR_1 port.
