Product Information Product Information The AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface is an AXlink bus controller that provides remote control for devices that require a variety of control protocols. The AXB-232++ extends RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 control to remote sources over the 4-wire AXlink data/power bus. Onboard processing and memory allows the controller to take on complex tasks by itself, reducing the processing burden for the Axcess control system. For example, the control system can use

Product Information Specifications The following table lists the specifications for the AXB-232++. Specifications Power 12 VDC @ 160 mA Processor On board 32-bit processor and 384K (of non-volatile memory) run Axcess programs independent of the control system. This relieves the AXlink bus and controller for the processing time for controlling those devices. (Requires Axcess Version 3.0 or higher.)

Installation and Wiring Wiring Devices to the AXB-232++ Preparing captive wires To connect the wiring into a captive-wire connector: 1. Strip 1/4 inch off the wire insulation for all four wires. 2. Tin 2/3 of the exposed wire. 3. Insert each wire into the appropriate captive-wire connector up to the insulation. 4. Tighten the captive screws to secure the fit in the connector. If the device is using a separate power supply, do not connect the power wiring from the AXB-232++ to that device. Wirin
