AxLink Device Numbering
For NetLinx programming purposes, each AxLink device must be assigned a unique number to locate that device on the bus. The
range for AxLink device numbers is 1-255. AMX best practices requires assigning device numbers in three groups:
Axcess Control Cards: 1 - 95
Axcess Bus Boxes: 96 - 127
Axcess Panels/Receivers: 128 - 255
If you are familiar with binary, start at Step 3 and set the device’s DIP switch toggles accordingly (zero = all up; 255 = all down).
To set an AxLink device address:
1. Open NetLinx Studio and select Tools>DIP Switch.
The DIP Switch 2.0 applet appears.
2. Enter the AxLink device number in the Device Number text box and note toggle positions.
Close the applet.
3. On the bottom/side of the AxLink device, set the device’s DIP switch toggles to an appropriate device number according to
AMX best practices (see established ranges above).
4. Connect AxLink cables from the AxLink device to the AxLink port on the Enova DGX CPU.
5. In NetLinx Studio, select the OnLine Tree tab and refresh the OnLine Tree with the Enova DGX displayed.
The AxLink device appears as a device in the OnLine Tree.
AxLink Power Measurement and Control
The AxLink port on the CPU supports a SEND_COMMAND to turn on and off +12V power output on the port.
AXPWRON LOWER – turns on power output on port
AXPWROFF LOWER – turns off power output on port
These messages are always sent to port 1 of the 5001 control device (D:S:P = 5001:1:0) and return status comes from the same
port.
AxLink Port Diagnostics
The fault state can be queried using the SEND_COMMAND: GET AX FAULT (D:S:P = 5001:1:0).
The reply to normal operating status is: AX FAULT: NONE
The reply to a problem in operating status is: AX FAULT: BUS
Removing the problem should restore the fault state to NONE without intervention.
NOTE: Shorting the bus power does not cause a fault that GET AX FAULT can detect.
