Product Data Sheet
NX-584E
Home automation module
The NX-584E is a low cost add-on module that
fits neatly into any NetworX family system
enclosure and provides a standard RS-232
bi-directional DB-9 connector for connection to a
home automation host system. A simple
three-wire connection to the main control is all
that is required to fully integrate this card into the
system. The NX-584E has several levels of
security that can be programmed at the time of
installation to allow as much or as little security
system information to be passed to the host
system. It can also be set to limit the commands
that will be accepted from the host system to
prevent unauthorized attempts to override the
security system status. The unit can be easily
configured for communication in an ASCII or
Binary protocol. A selectable baud rate can be set
from 600 baud to 76.8k baud with hardware RTS
and CTS handshaking. The ASCII implementation
is easy to use and debug with standard
programming tools while the binary version is a
more efficient for method for transferring
information between the two systems. The system
integrator can select any number of events or
conditions to cause the NX-584E to send the
relevant information to the host without polling.
This allows for a faster response to activity than
polling alone can provide.
