2	SI-2-NA – System Integrator

Introduction

Welcome

The SI-2-NA System Integrator provides a vital link point between any iCANnet network and a third party device such as an audio visual unit.. The compact SI-2-NA System Integrator provides a 5-way connector block at one end for the iCANnet link and a 9-pin D-type female socket at the other end for the RS232 serial connection to the third party device..

Using the intuitive iCANsoft application, you can program the SI-2-NA to search for particular actions or messages received from other control units attached to the iCANnet network.. When a received action or message matches a stored template, the SI-2-NA will send a control message to the device connected via the serial port..

Similarly, the SI-2-NA also monitors messages being sent back from the connected serial device and when any of those messages match those stored within its memory, a range of actions can be triggered on the iCANnet network..

The SI-2-NA System Integrator can store up to 100 input and output messages together with their related actions.. Additionally, the SI-2-NA can store up to 16 sequences, each of which can comprise up to 128 separate steps to allow multiple actions to be triggered by a single command..

Connections

Connections

iCANnet wiring

Cable connections to the iCANnet network are made to a removable 5-way connector block located at one end of the SI-2-NA unit:

Cable type::

Cooper LC or Belden 1502

Cooper

LC cable

Each Source Controller can power up to 10 wallstations/ devices.. These devices must be within 1,000 ft of the Source Controller.. For devices further from a Source Controller, add a 15 Vdc power supply.. If there are more than 100 devices on the iCANnet segment use a BN-2-NA to repeat the signal..

iCANnet announce button

The SI-2-NA unit features a small button adjacent to the iCANnet connector which can be used to add the device to an iCANnet network.. When pressed, the SI-2-NA will send an announcement message across the iCANnet network.. Please see the section ‘Adding the SI-2-NA to iCANsoft’ for more details..

iCANnet termination

The iCANnet link is a ‘daisy chain’ protocol that requires termination on the devices located at either end of the iCANnet chain..

iCAN	iCAN	SI-2-NA	Serial
Device	Device		Device

The SI-2-NA unit is supplied with termination enabled as standard.. If it is not connected as an end device in the iCANnet chain, you need to disable termination..

NNoee: The connection to the serial device is treated separately and has no impact on whether or not the SI-2-NA should be terminated..

To disable SI-2-NA termination, move the jumper from the lower two pins to the upper two pins, as shown here:

Termination OFF

Termination ON

Serial device connection

The SI-2-NA unit provides an RS232 link via a standard 9-pin D-type female connector.. The SI-2-NA uses five pins of the D-type connector as shown below:

GND	RxD	TxD
(pin 5)	(pin 3)	(pin 2)

RTS	CTS
(pin 8)	(pin 7)

The various serial communication parameters used by the SI-2-NA serial port are all fully configurable using the iCANsoft application:

	Baud rate	1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
		38400, 57600 or 115200
	Data bits	7 or 8
	Stop bits	1 or 2
	Parity	None, Reserved, Even or Odd
	Handshaking	Enabled or Disabled

Connections

Operation indicators

The SI-2-NA unit has a red and green indicator at either end to assist with configuration and troubleshooting..

At the iCANnet end

Green flashing: Normal operation

Red flashing: Traffic being sent and/or received

Red on: iCANnet error

At the RS232 end

Green: RS232 data received

Red: RS232 data sent

Programming

Programming

This section provides details about programming items specific to the SI-2-NA system integrator within the iCANsoft application.. For details about the general use of iCANsoft, please refer to the System manual..

Adding the SI-2-NA to iCANsoft

Once the SI-2-NA System Integrator has been connected to the iCANnet network, you can add it to the iCANsoft application in any of the following three ways:

OO Within the iCANsoft main window, click the icon,

OOWithin the iCANsoft main window, select ‘Tools’ > ‘Advanced Network Search’, or

OOOn the SI-2-NA unit, adjacent to the iCANnet connector block, press and release the small button to cause an announcement message to be sent across the network..

NNote: Where there are multiple SI-2-NA units installed on a network, you can use the announce button to

pinpoint the device within iCANsoft.. Its entry within the device list will appear in bold and the iCANsoft output section will provide device number details..

Viewing the SI-2-NA details in iCANsoft

Once the SI-2-NA unit has been added to the iCANsoft application, it will appear in the devices list within the Workspace window:

To view the configuration window for the SI-2-NA system integrator, double click its entry within the list..
