NetLinx Integrated Controllers
NI-4000 Specifications (Cont.)
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
Program port Single RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a
computer; used with serial commands, NetLinx programming commands,
other DB9 capable devices, and to upload/download information from the
NetLinx Studio 2.2 program.
Configuration DIP switch Use this DIP switch to set the communication parameters for the rear
RS232 Program port.
ID pushbutton Sets the NetLinx ID (D) assignment for the device.
The D notation is used to explicitly represent a device number.
Ethernet port Single 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/Activity LED LEDs show communication activity, connections, 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/terminated correctly and blinks when receiving Ethernet data
packets.
AXlink LED One 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.
Power port 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector
