Unidirectional Control and Communication Connections

IR/Serial output ports (see figure 14, figure 15, and figure 16 on page18

through page20) — An IPCPProSeries control processor can use infrared signals or

unidirectional RS-232 serial signals to control various devices (up to four per port for IR)

via these ports. Set output signal type (IR or serial) during configuration. The following

figure shows wiring examples.

Figure 24. Wiring the IR/Serial Ports

Serial control — Connect one of these ports to the serial control receive (Rx) and

ground pins of the device to be controlled. These ports have the same serial protocol

options (see page23) as the COM ports.

IR control — Connect one of these ports directly to the wired IR port of another device.

Alternatively, insert the wires from up to four IR Emitters into an IR port and place the

heads of the emitters over or next to the IR signal pickup windows of the devices. For

wiring, see the following diagrams or the IREmitter Installation Guide (available on

www.extron.com).

NOTE: Each emitter must be within 100 feet (30.4 meters) of the IPCP for best IR

control results.
