8
NetLinx Integrated Controllers
NI-3000 Specifications (Cont.)
Rear Panel Components:
RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 -7) Seven 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
Seven DB9 connectors provide RS-232/422/485 termination
ICSNet Two RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface
ICSHub Out Single RJ-45 connector provides data to another Hub connected to the
Controller
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) Eight-channel binary I/O port for contact closure
Each input is capable of voltage sensing. Input format is software
selectable.
Interactive power sensing for IR ports
Channel range = 1-8
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
One 10-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connector provides I/O port
termination
IR/Serial (Ports 9-16) Eight IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers up to
1.142 MHz
Each output is capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial
Eight IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.
Channel range = 1-32,767
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)
Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide IR/Serial port
termination
