Product Information
The NXC-ME260 (FG2010-60) is a Master-Ethernet Card for use within NetLinx systems. This card provides a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection and an RJ-11 SPE (Server Port Expander) connector for use with an AXB-SPE (Server Port Expander). The NXC-ME260 is the only Master card you will need, as it incorporates the functionality of all previous NetLinx Master Cards (NXC-M, NXC-ME, and NXC-MPE).
Beyond replacing the previous set of NetLinx Master Cards, the NXC-ME260 represents a high-performance NetLinx Master Controller. With double the Flash memory (16 MB) and a more powerful processor (Coldfire® 5407), the ME260 is faster than previous NetLinx Masters.
The NXC-ME260 can be loaded in the Master card slot of an NXF NetLinx Cardframe, in an NXI Integrated Controller, or within an NXS-MHS Master/Hub Module.

Installation and Wiring
This section contains information about configuring the Program port, cable configurations,
connector pinouts, and NXC-ME260 installation procedures.
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.
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).

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
The following table describes the pinout and signal information for the ICSHub IN port.

NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master-Ethernet Card/Module |
|
|
|
Installation and Wiring
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. |
|
|
|
|
Use an RJ-11 cable to connect the NXC-ME260 to an AXB-SPE Slave Port Expander.
The EXPANSION OUT port on the rear panel of the NXC-ME260 connects to the EXPANSION IN port on the rear panel of the AXB-SPE (FIG. 9).
EXPANSION IN port (RJ-11)
FIG. 9 AXB-SPE (rear panel)
You can daisy chain multiple AXB-SPE's by connecting the EXPANSION OUT on the primary AXB-SPE to the EXPANSION IN port on the secondary, as shown in FIG. 10. The connecting RJ-11 cable should not exceed 6" in length. Repeat this process to connect up to nine AXB-SPE's.

the Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.
7.Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System to establish a new connection to the specified Master and refresh the System list with devices on that system.
8.Use Ctrl+S to save your existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.
If the NetLinx device does not appear within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window of NetLinx Studio, make sure that the NetLinx Master System Number (from within the Device Addressing tab) is correctly assigned. If there is a problem, use a system value of zero (0) on the NetLinx device.
The Master is default set to DEVICE 0. Connected NetLinx device addresses can only be changed through the Protected Setup page. The new address is reflected within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window only after the devices are rebooted and the system is refreshed.
When using more than one Master, each unit must be assigned to a separate System value.
A Master’s System value can be changed but its’ device Address must always be set to zero (00000). The Device Addressing dialog will not allow you to alter the NetLinx Master address value.
Example: Using NetLinx Studio 2.1 to work with an NXC-ME260 and NI-4000:
The NXC-ME260 could be assigned to System 1 (with a value of 00000).
The NI-4000 could be assigned to System 2 (with a value of 00000).
The system value on a Modero touch panel can not be changed from the Device
Addressing dialog.
