NXS-NMS NetLinx NetModules  
NetLinx Control Cards and NetModules  
Compatible NetLinx Control Cards:  
NetLinx Control Cards can be installed in the NXF CardFrame, NI-4000, or  
NetModules. The NetModules provide enclosures for the Control Cards.  
The product name of the generic NetModule shell is NXS-NMS. For more  
information on the NetModules and NetLinx Control Cards, refer to the  
NetLinx CardFrame, Control Cards, and NetModules Instruction Manual  
The NetModules accepts the following NetLinx Control Cards:

Volume Control Card  
NetModules accommodate a NetLinx Control Card and connect to the  
NetLinx bus via ICSNet connections. The NetModules offer a simple and  
economical way to integrate additional functionality to control systems.  
FIG. 1 shows a NetModule shell and its main components.  
Device:Port:System (D:P:S)  
A device is any hardware component that can be connected to an AXLink  
or NetLinx (ICSNet) bus. Each device must be assigned a unique number  
to locate that device on the bus. The NetLinx programming language allows  
numbers in the range 0-32,000. Device 0 (zero) refers to the master, and  
numbers greater than 32,000 are reserved.

NetLinx requires a Device:Port:System (D:P:S) specification.  
This D:P:S triplet can be expressed as series of constants, variables  
separated by colons, or as a DEV structure. For example:

The D:P:S notation is used to explicitly represent a device number, port and  
system. For example, 128:1:0 represents the first port on the device TP on  
this system.  
If the Port and System numbers are omitted, Port #1 and System #0 (zero)  
are assumed. Here's a syntax sample:  
Specifications  
Dimensions (HWD): 1.50" x 5.55" x 10.28" (3.81 cm x 14.10 cm x 26.11 cm)  
Weight: 2.15 lbs. (0.98 kg)  
Power Requirement: +12 VDC  
NUMBER:PORT:SYSTEM  
ID Button:  
where:  
The ID Button on the rear panel of the NetModules is used in conjunction  
with the NetLinx Studio software program to allow you to assign new Device  
and System numbers for the Module.  
NUMBER: 6-bit integer representing the device number  
PORT: 6-bit integer representing the port number (in the range 1  
through the number of ports on the Controller or device)  
1. Using NetLinx Studio, place the system in Identity (ID) Mode. ID Mode  
means that the entire system is put on hold while it waits for an event  
from any NetLinx device in the named system (for example, pushing  
the ID button on a Module). The device generating the first event is the  
device that is identified.  
SYSTEM: 6-bit integer representing the system number (0 = this  
system)  
NetLinx Device Number Conventions:  
NXS modules typically occupy the device number range from 5001 to 5999.  
2. Press the ID Mode button to generate an event from the Module to  
allow you to assign new Device and System numbers in NetLinx  
Studio.  
Mounting Modules Into an Equipment Rack:  
The NetLinx Modules can be rack-mounted using an optional AC-RK Rack  
Mount Kit.  
+12 VDC Power Supply Connectors:  
Two parallel male 2-pin (green) parallel connectors for 12 VDC power.  
Connection to either power connector provides loop through power to  
the other connector.  
Connecting an external power source disconnects the NetModule from  
the power supplied via ICSNet.  
Control Card Connectors:  
To install a Control Card into a NetModule:  
1. Remove the magnetic front faceplate/viewing window from the Net-  
Module.  
2. Align the edge of the Control Card with the slot Control Card slot on  
the front of the NetModule. Slide the card into the enclosure and press  
until you feel the Card seat in the connector.  
3. Put the magnetic faceplate back on the NetModule.
