Model NIM-1W Network Interface Module
NETWORK INTERFACE APPLICATIONS
OPERATION
The Model NIM-1W from Siemens Industry, Inc.,
provides a new communication path for the following
uses:
• as an XNET networking interface
• as an HNET connection to NCC WAN
• as a connection to Foreign Systems
• as a connection to Air Sampling detectors
When used as an XNET networking interface the
NIM-1W allows for the connection of up to 63 MXL
and/or XLS Systems. On an XNET network the NIM1W also supports monitor and control functionality by
Siemens products, such as NCC and Desigo CC.
Output logic between MXL panels is done using
CSG-M programming. CSG-M versions 6.01 and
higher include options for networked MXL Systems.
Each MXL System is assigned a panel number. This
panel number allows interactive programming between panels using CSG-M.
The NIM-1W supports both Style 4 and Style 7
connection. In the event of an NIM-1W communication failure, each MXL System continues to operate
as a standalone panel.
The NIM-1W can also be configured as an RS-485
two wire interface to foreign systems. NIM-1W
RS485 only supports Style 4 wiring. Via the add-on
modem card NIM-1M, NIM-1W can also be configured for modem connection. This operation is called
FSI (Foreign System Interface). The FSI responds
to a protocol and gathers information about the MXL
status. The interface supports both single MXL
Systems and networked systems. Typical use of
this interface is between the MXL and building
management systems.
Use the CSG-M to enable the functions accessed
by the foreign system. If the foreign system is UL
864 listed with the MXL, the interface can also be
enabled to support control of the MXL including the
commands to acknowledge, silence, and reset.

To open a dipswitch, press down on the side of the dipswitch marked OPEN.
To close a dipswitch, press down on the side of the dipswitch opposite the side marked OPEN.
To open a slide switch, push the slide to the side opposite the side marked ON.
To close a slide switch, push the slide to the side marked ON.
The NIM-1W also provides for the connection of up to
31 Air Sampling detectors. The MXL supports individual programming and monitoring of the Air Sampling devices. Each detector can be uniquely programmed from the MKB menu or by using CSG-M. All
three alarm levels (PreAlarm 1, PreAlarm 2, and
Alarm) are supported.
NOTE: When the NIM-1W is configured as an Air
Sampling interface, it cannot support either
MXL networking or the FSI. If these functions
are required, additional NIM-1Ws must be
used.
For additional information on the MXL/MXLV System,
refer to the MXL/MXLV Manual, P/N 315-092036.
INSTALLATION
Remove all system power before installation,
first battery and then AC. (To power up, con-
nect the AC first, then the battery.)
The NIM-1W installs into the MXL optional MOM-4/2
card cage where it occupies one full width slot. The
NIM-1W can be installed in either of the full slots of the
MOM-4/2.

Setting the Switches
Set all switches, configuration jumpers, and
connection cables before installing the NIM-1W
into the MOM-4.
Use switch SW1 to set the MXL network address. Set
this switch according to the address where the NIM-1W
is installed in the MXL’s network map. Refer to the
CSG-M configuration printout for the address of the
module. See Table 1 for settings.
Use switch SW2 to set either the panel number for
networked systems or to select FSI or Air Sampling
operation. Refer to Table 2 for panel settings, Table 3
for FSI settings, and Table 4 for Air Sampling settings.
1. When installing the NIM-1W in a networked
system, set the panel number to agree with the
panel number for the NIM-1W assigned to the
MXL System in CSG-M.
2. Switch position 8 selects Style 4 or Style 7
operation for the NIM-1W network.
3. Set jumper plugs on JP4 to the "M" position.
4. Set jumper plugs on P6 to the "X" position (Figure
1) if using NIM-1W for RS-485 interface. Set
jumper plugs on P6 as shown in Figure 2 if using
NIM-W for modem interface.
