NI-2100 NetLinx Integrated Controller

The NI-2100/ICS is ideal for control and automation of medium-sized rooms and multi-room

applications. The NI-2100 has 64MB of onboard RAM and is Device Discovery enabled to

simplify programming by standardizing device and function definitions, default touch panel

button assignments, and control and feedback methods.

ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest NI firmware for the on-board Master. Verify you are using the

latest version of NetLinx Studio (available for download from www.amx.com).

Power

Requirement:

700 mA @ 12 VDC

market availability.

Weight: 4.50 lbs (2.04 kg)

Enclosure: Metal with black matte finish

Certifications: FCC Part 15 Class B, CE, and IEC 60950

Front Panel LEDs:

LINK/ACT

(green):

Blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and terminated

correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.

Status (green): Blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and

communicating properly.

Output (red): Blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and

Off, sends data strings, etc.

Input (yellow): Blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes,

strings, commands, channel levels, etc.

RS-232/422/485

(red / yellow):

3 sets of LEDs light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 3 are transmitting

or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data (red = TX, yellow = RX).

Relay (red): 4 LEDs light to indicate the relay channels 1 - 4 are active (closed).

These LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 4.

IR/Serial (red): 4 LEDs light to indicate the IR/Serial channels 1 - 4 are transmitting

control data on Ports 5 - 8. LED indicator for each IR port remains lit

for the length of time that IR/Serial data is being generated.

I/O (yellow): Lights when the I/O channels 1 - 4 are active. The LED for each I/O

port reflects the state of that particular port.

NI-2100 Specifications (Cont.)

Rear Panel Components:

RS-232/422/485

(Ports 1 - 3):

3 RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with

XON/XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/

ready to send), and 300-115,200 baud.

ICSNet: 2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional

ICSNet daughter card).

ICSHub Out: RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller

(provided by optional ICSNet daughter card).

Relay (Port 4): • 4-channel single-pole single-throw relay ports

• Each relay is independently controlled.

• Supports up to 4 independent external relay devices

• Channel range = 1-4

• Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A

• 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connector provides relay

termination

Digital I/O

(Port 9):

4-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being

capable of voltage sensing. Input format is software selectable with

interactive power sensing for IR ports.

Note: The I/Os on this card are not dry closure; they are electronic

switches that float at 5V when Off. Therefore, they should not be

expected to work in situations that require true dry contact (or dry

closure). The I/Os do work with AMX PC1, PC2, UPC20 and

UPC20+.

IR/Serial

(Ports 5 - 8):

4 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to

1.142 MHz with each output being capable of two electrical formats:

IR or Serial.

• 4 IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.

• IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring

distances).

Program Port: RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a

PC. This connector can be used with serial and NetLinx program-

ming commands, as well as other DB9 capable devices, to both

upload/download information from the NetLinx Studio program.

Configuration DIP

Switch:

Sets the communication parameters for the Program port (see Baud

Rate Settings).

ID Pushbutton: Sets the NetLinx ID (Device only) assignment for the device.

Ethernet Port: RJ-45 connector provides TCP/IP communication. This is an Auto

MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-

through or crossover Ethernet cables.

The Ethernet Port LEDs show communication activity, connection

status, speeds, and mode information:

• SPD (speed) - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed

is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

• L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables

are connected and terminated correctly, and blinks when

receiving Ethernet data packets.

AxLink Port: 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector that provides data and

power to external control devices. Green AXlink LED indicates the

state of the AXlink port.

Power Port: 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector.

Operating

Environment:

• Operating Temperature: 0° C (32° F) to 50° C (122° F)

• Operating Humidity: 20% to 85% RH

• Heat Dissipation (Typical): 28.7 BTU/hr
