5. Настройка

5.1 Мантаж кантролера

The NX-3200 is designed for rack mounting or placement on a flat surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

• For rack mounting, secure the controller using appropriate rack ears and screws (sold separately or included in package).
• When placing on a surface, ensure it is stable and free from obstructions to airflow.

5.2 Падключэнне сілкавання

1. Connect the provided 12VDC power supply to the PWR input on the rear panel.
2. Падключыце блок харчавання да адпаведнай электрычнай разеткі.
3. The controller will power on automatically. Observe the STATUS LED on the front panel.

5.3 Сеткавыя злучэнні

The NX-3200 features Dual NIC for enhanced network security and flexibility.

• ICS LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the ICS LAN port for control network communication.
• LAN 10/100: Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN 10/100 port for a secondary network connection, if required for specific applications or network segmentation.

5.4 Падключэнне прылад кіравання

Connect your AV equipment, HVAC systems, lighting, and other devices to the appropriate ports on the rear panel.

• Serial Devices: Use RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 ports as needed. Refer to the device's documentation for wiring requirements.
• Relay Devices: Connect devices requiring contact closure to the Relay ports.
• I/O Devices: Connect sensors or other input/output devices to the I/O ports.
