[. . . ] This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury. Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not apply. [. . . ] In programming, treat AXB-PCCOM as a standard Axcess panel. AXB-PCCOM Communications Port Interface 1 Product Information Specifications The following table details the specifications for the PCCOM. Specifications Dimensions (HWD) Enclosure Power Consumption Input buffer Output buffer (AXlink) Baud range Max. Length of data packets from device Weight Panel Components RS-232 connector TX LED (Red) RX LED (Red) A DB-9 RS-232 connector used for communication with the PC for AMX programming tools, such as Axcess and IRLIB. 1. 00" x 5. 26" x 3. 75" (2. 54 cm x 13. 36 cm x 9. 53 cm) Metal with black matte finish 75 mA @ 12 VDC · 12, 000 bytes · 12, 000 bytes · 300 - 38. 4 K · 64 · 64 8. 60 oz. (243. 80 g) Communications Parameter An eight position DIP switch used to set the number of AXlink devices DIP switch emulated, enable or disable handshaking, and set the Baud rate. AXlink LED AXlink LED (green and blinks to indicate AXlink communication activity and power: · Full-Off indicates no power is being received or the controller is not · functioning properly. · One blink per second indicates power is active and AXlink communication is · functioning. · Full-On indicates there is no AXlink control or activity, but power is on. AXlink connector Device DIP switch This four-pin captive wire receives power and information via the AXlink bus and AXlink system controller. An eight-position DIP switch used to set the AXlink device number for the AXB-PCCOM. DIP Switches Communication Parameters The AXB-PCCOM has these default configurations settings: Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Data Bits: 8 Use the Communication Parameters DIP switch to set the communications parameters. Switches 1 and 2 determine how many AXlink devices the PC device is emulating. 2) defines four devices, a baud rate of 9, 600, with handshaking disabled. 2 AXB-PCCOM Communications Port Interface Product Information 1 2345 678 ON FIG. 2 Communications Parameters DIP switch setting example The following table describes the Communications Parameters DIP switch settings and its corresponding DIP switch arrangements.

You can set it as one of 255 devices in an Axcess, AXCENT, or AXCENT2 system. 3 Device Code DIP switch setting example The following table describes the Device Code DIP switch settings and its corresponding DIP switch arrangements. Device DIP switch settings Position Value 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 8 5 16 6 32 7 64 8 128 The device number takes effect only on power-up. If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. This enters the new device number into memory. AXB-PCCOM Communications Port Interface 3 Product Information AMX standard device numbers are assigned as follows: Cards are 1 through 25. Set the device number to one in the panel range. Connectors Preparing/connecting captive wires You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires. Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections. 1. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector Using the AXlink connector for data and power To use the AXlink 4-pin connector for data communication and for power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the control system must be connected to the AXlink cable connector going to the control system. [. . . ] When AXlink goes back on-line, it sends BUS STATUS again. "'&', 6, 0, 44" The bus is Off-line. Change Level Syntax: '&' <2> <DEVICE> <LEVEL NO> <LEVEL> <CHECKSUM> Example: "'&', 2, 1, 2, 132, 175" Level 2 on device 1 (AXlink device 129) is 132. Channel Status Syntax: '&' <1> <DEVICE> <CHANNEL> <STATUS> <CHECKSUM> Example: "'&', 1, 0, 255, 1, 39" Channel 255 on device 0 (AXlink device 128) is On. "'&', 1, 3, 100, 0, 142" Channel 100 on device 3 (AXlink device 131) is Off. Device List Syntax: '&' <7> <# DEVICES> <DEVICES> <CHECKSUM> Example: "'&', 7, 4, 128, 129, 130, 131, 55" The AXB-PCCOM is configured for four devices, and their device numbers are 128, 129, 130, and 131.
