ProXR is a standard set of relay control commands that allow users to control relays by sending bytes of data. Turn relays on or off, trigger timers, flashers, and control relay groups using the ProXR command set. This document will guide you through everything you need to know to start using NCD ProXR series controllers.
Introduction NCD Digital Potentiometer devices allow software control of up to 256 channels of 8-bit digital potentiometers. NCD manufactures many digital potentiometer devices with a wide range of communication options. Regardless of device, the command set is generally the same. This guide is therefore relevant to many product lines, including devices offered exclusively with a USB/RS-232 interface and digital potentiometer outputs, ProXR/UXP expansion devices, and Fusion/UXP expansion devices. Please note that all Fusion controllers require commands to be wrapped with a header and checksum (please see API Quick Start Guide), which is optional for ProXR series. Base Station Software
Introduction NCD Devices with Contact Closure Input monitoring capabilities will use this command set to read no less than 8 contact closure inputs with a single query. This includes the ZSCAN series controllers and any NCD Devices equipped with a UXP Expansion Port (Fusion and ProXR UXP) and a USCS16, USCS32, or USCS48 contact closure input expansion board. This SCAN Series command set allows the user to read anywhere from 1 to 32 banks of 8 inputs in a single query. A single bank contains 8 inputs. Reading 32 banks will report the status of 256 inputs. This command has
Store and Retrieve Non-Volatile Memory Introduction Scratchpad Memory allows you to store and retrieve up to 8 bytes of data in a non-volatile EEPROM memory within the NCD device. Scratchpad Memory may be used for anything. The memory contents have no effect of the controller. You can use scratchpad memory to store important variables or use this memory to test for the existence of a particular controller. NCD Base Station Software Use NCD Base Station Software to store and retrieve non-volatile EEPROM memory within your device. After connecting your device to the computer, run Base Station software. Choose the COM or IP
Fusion Override Control Fusion series controllers have three possible ways to control relays. ProXR Advanced allows a computer to control relays. Reactor focuses on Sensor controlled relays. Taralist controls relays based on a time schedule. Since there are three distinctly different relay control technologies working together, it is essential to utilize a priority system for managing who has control of what relay. By default, the relay priority system is structured in this way: Taralist (time scheduled relays) have the lowest priority. Reactor (sensor controlled relays) have middle priority. ProXR (computer controlled relays) have highest priority. The theory being, a time
NOTICE: REMOTE ACCESS IS EXPERIMENTAL AND CANNOT BE IMPROVED AS WE ARE OUT OF MEMORY SPACE IN THE CURRENT CPU. THE FINAL VERSION OF REMOTE ACCESS SUPPORTS DIGI 900HP/S3B MESH NETWORKING COMMUNICATION MODULES. Introduction The Fusion® Series is our fourth generation relay controller offering the ultimate relay control solution . . . without exception. If we had to pick just one guide we hope our customers will read, it is the Remote Access Quick Start Guide. Remote Access does things that you have never seen before. Remote Access is how Fusion controllers talk to each other through 802.15.4 wireless communications.
Introduction Select Fusion series controllers are capable of interfacing to 1, 2, 4, or 8 Ultrasonic distance sensors for measuring distance between an object and a ultrasonic sensor. When a distance value is requested, the Ultrasonic transducer sends a sound pulse and measures the time it takes to receive the echo. The usable range for distance measurement is about 6 feet (around 2 meters). The actual distance measurement may be slightly higher or lower depending on the type of object reflecting the sound waves. The accuracy of measurement is typically within 0.250” of actual distance. Sound waves are easily reflected
Introduction The Fusion® Series is our fourth generation relay controller offering the ultimate relay control solution . . . without exception. Fusion controllers have many ways to control relays, one of the most powerful methods of relay control is based on a time schedule. Fusion Taralist is our third generation of Taralist controllers. The first two major revisions were released as Taralist controllers beginning in 2009. We have had lots of time to refine Taralist, working out the bugs along the way. Fusion Taralist is a further refinement of the already mature Taralist controllers, extending the capabilities significantly while retaining
Introduction The Fusion® Series is our fourth generation relay controller offering the ultimate relay control solution . . . without exception. Reactor enables a Fusion Series relay controller to control relays based on sensor inputs. Reactor has the ability to read sensors connected directly to a Fusion controller or to wireless remote Fusion controllers linked using our Remote Access wireless communication technology. This allows Fusion controllers to share sensors with each other in a wireless group. Reactor allows you to mix local and wireless remote sensors together in any combination. Reactor is capable of monitoring up to 16 different sensors,
Introduction Introducing the Fusion ProXR Advanced relay control command set. The ProXR Advanced command set is what allows users to develop software to control relays for Fusion series controllers. Based on the ProXR Enhanced command set, the ProXR Advanced command set has new commands and new command options that greatly extend your ability to control more relays with fewer commands. Out with the Old We thinned down the command set so it would not contain as many redundant commands as the ProXR and ProXR Enhanced devices. This saved space in the CPU that was better reserved for new features. The
