Installation and Wiring

Installation and Wiring

This section contains information about configuring the Program port, cable configurations,

connector pinouts, and NXC-ME260 installation procedures.

Setting the Program Port DIP Switch

Prior to installing the NXC-ME260, configure the Program port’s communication speed by setting the baud rate DIP switch (SW1) to the appropriate setting. The Program port’s DIP switch is located to one side of the Master’s RS232 Program port.

Baud rate settings

The Program port DIP switch is located on the Master card’s circuit board. Use this DIP switch to set the baud rate used by the Program port for communication. Before programming the Master, make sure the baud rate you set matches the communication set on either your PC’s COM port or through your NetLinx Studio 2.1. By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps).

Baud Rate Settings

Baud Rate	Position 5	Position 6	Position 7	Position 8
9600 bps	OFF	ON	OFF	ON
38,400 bps (default)	OFF	ON	ON	ON
57,600 bps	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF
115,200 bps	ON	ON	ON	ON

Note the orientation of the DIP Switch and the ON position label.

DIP Switch positions 2,3, and 4 must remain in the OFF position at all times.

Program Run Disable (PRD) mode

You can also use the Program Port DIP switch to set the Master card to Program Run Disable (PRD) mode according to the settings listed in the table below.

PRD Mode Settings

PRD Mode	Position 1
Normal mode (default)	OFF
PRD Mode	ON

NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master-Ethernet Card/Module	5

Installation and Wiring

PRD mode prevents the NetLinx program stored in the Master from running when you power up the NXC-ME260. PRD mode should only be used when you suspect the resident NetLinx program is causing inadvertent communication and/or control problems. If necessary, place the Master in PRD mode and use the NetLinx Studio 2.1 program to resolve the communication and/or control problems with the resident NetLinx program. Then, download the new NetLinx program and try again.

Think of the PRD Mode (On) equating to a PC’s SAFE Mode setting. This mode allows a user to continue powering a unit, update the firmware, and download a new program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program. Power must be cycled to the unit after activating/deactivating this mode on the rear Program Port DIP switch #1.

Setting the Program Port DIP switch

It is recommended that the baud rate DIP switch be set prior to any installation of the NXC-ME260 card.

1.Locate the red baud rate DIP switch (FIG. 4).

2.Set DIP switch positions according to the information listed in the Baud Rate Settings and

PRD Mode Settings tables above.

3.Follow the procedures outlined in the NXC-ME260 Installation and Mounting Procedures section on page 15.

If the card has already been installed:

1.Disconnect the power supply from the 2-pin PWR (green) connector on the Master Card.

2.Unsecure the NXC-ME260 by unscrewing the two faceplate securing screws (on both sides of the faceplate) using a Phillips-head screwdriver (FIG. 4).

3.Carefully slide-out the card and locate the red baud rate DIP switch (FIG. 4).

4.Set the DIP switch positions according to the information listed in the Baud Rate Settings and

PRD Mode Settings tables (page 5).

5.Place the Master card back into its’ housing and resecure the two faceplate securing screws.

6.Reconnect the 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector and apply power.

Wiring Guidelines

The Master card requires 12 VDC power from either a PSN2.8, PSN4.4, or a PSN6.5 NetLinx Power Supply to operate properly. The NXC-ME260 connects to the power supply via a 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector located on the faceplate.

This unit should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the Master card can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out.

Apply power to the card only after installation is complete.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1.Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2.Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section).

3.Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

RJ-45 connector - pin configurations

Unlike the ICSNet ports, the ICSHub connections require a specific polarity. The IN/OUT configuration, on the Hub ports, was implemented to use the same cables as ICSNet, but these ports need TX and RX crossed. You must connect an OUT to an IN, or an IN to an OUT port.

This is done simply to keep the polarity straight. The Hub bus is still a bus. All Hub connections are bi-directional.

ICSHub RJ-45 Connections/Wiring

The two ICSHub RJ-45 connectors on the rear of the Master card provide data to other Hubs connected to a downstream system. Hubs allow you to connect multiple NetLinx Hubs together in a daisy-chain configuration. Connect the OUT port to the IN port on the second or downstream NetLinx Hub.

Use CAT5 cables for all ICSHub connections.

Do not connect the last hub in a daisy-chain configuration into the first Hub.

Ethernet ports used by the ME260

Ethernet Ports Used by the ME260

Port type	Description	Standard Port #
ICSP	Peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-device	1319 (UDP/TCP)
	communications.
	For maximum flexibility, the Master can be configured to utilize a different
	port than 1319, or disable ICSP over Ethernet completely from either
	Telnet or the Program Port located on the rear of the Master itself.
ICMP	When using version 1.XX of NetLinx Studio, you must be able to PING a	ICMP
	Master in order to be able to connect to it over a network.
	• Note: NetLinx Studio version 2.0 or higher allows a user the ability to
	turn Off this requirement by de-selecting the "Automatically Ping the
	Master Controller to ensure availability" feature from within the
	TCP/IP Setting dialog (default condition is On).
Telnet	The NetLinx telnet server provides a mechanism to configure and	23 (TCP)
	diagnose a NetLinx system.
	For maximum flexibility, the Master can be configured to utilize a different
	port than 23, or disable Telnet completely from either Telnet or the Program
	Port located on the rear of the Master itself. Once disabled, the only way to
	enable Telnet again is from the Master’s Program port.
HTTP	The Master has a built-in web server that complies with the HTTP 1.0	80 (TCP)
	specification and supports all of the required features of HTTP v1.1.
FTP	The NXC-ME260 has a built-in FTP server that conforms to RFC959.	21/20 (TCP)
Internet Inside	The Internet Inside feature the Master uses, by default, is port 10500 for	10500 (TCP)
	the XML based communication protocol. This port is connected to by the
	client web browser’s JVM when Internet Inside control pages are retrieved
	from the on-board Master’s web server.
	For maximum flexibility, the on-board Master can be configured to utilize a
	different port than 10500 or to disable Internet Inside completely.

SPE Port Connection/Wiring

Use an RJ-11 cable to connect the NXC-ME260 to an AXB-SPE Slave Port Expander.
