What’s New in X-Series Controllers

Support for IPv6 networks

The NX-Series controllers fully support IPv6 network addressing. If the LAN port is connected to an IPv6 capable

network it will self select an appropriate IPv6 address based on the discovered address parameters of the network to

which it’s attached.

The controllers simultaneously support IPv4 network addressing. This means any controller may have more than one

valid IP address; one IPv4 and one or more IPv6 addresses.

When opening sockets from NetLinx or Java code there is no unique command to indicate that you are providing an IPv4

or IPv6 network address. As long as the provided IP address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, the controller will utilize the

correct addressing protocol automatically.

Link-Local fallback in DHCP mode

When the X-Series controller’s LAN IP addressing mode is set to DHCP it will attempt to acquire an IPv4 address from

a DHCP server for approximately one minute after boot. If the controller does not receive a valid DHCP address in that

time (e.g. if a DHCP server is not found), it will fall back to an IPv4 address in the link-local range.

NOTE: Link-local is not an operational mode for the controller; it is a temporary addressing scheme to permit

access over the network so that IP settings can be modified. DO NOT commission the controller with a

link-local IP address.

The default link-local address is 169.254.x.y, where x and y are the least significant two octets of the MAC address. The

controller will first verify that this address is not taken by another device on the network. If the address is taken, the

controller uses a standard algorithm to find an available IP address in the link-local range.

When the controller is using a link-local IP address the status light will blink once per second. If the controller’s network

settings remain in DHCP mode it will attempt to acquire a DHCP address every five minutes until it is successful. After

each failed attempt to acquire a DHCP address the controller will execute the link-local algorithm and MAY NOT fall

back to the same link-local IP address.

Wired 802.1X support

The X-Series controllers support 802.1X, an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control. The X-Series

controller will act as a supplicant (client device) to an 802.1X enabled network and will present customer provided

X.509 certificates to be allowed access to protected networks.

ID Pushbutton functionality

The X-Series controllers include new ID pushbutton functionality originally implemented on the EXB series of ICSLAN

device control modules.

Static/DHCP: If the ID button is pressed and held for 10 seconds or longer and then released, the unit toggles

between static and dynamic IP addressing. The controller will automatically reboot to complete the process.

The default static IP address is 192.168.1.3 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.

Factory Reset: If the ID button is held for 10 seconds or longer during the boot process, the unit will reset to

factory defaults. This includes resetting the static IP address to its default and deleting the NetLinx program.

Factory Image: If the ID pushbutton is held for 20 seconds and released while the unit is booting up, the unit

will restore itself to a factory firmware image. This also deletes all code and IRL files.

Serial ports differences

Unlike current NI controllers, not all serial ports on the X-series controllers support RS-422 and RS-485. The NX-1200

and NX-2200 have one serial port that supports RS-232/422/485, and the NX-3200 and NX-4200 have two. The rest of

the serial ports (1 on the NX-1200, 3 on the NX-2200 and 6 on the NX-3200 and NX-4200) support only the RS-232

protocol.

All X-Series controllers have screw terminal connectors instead of DB-9 connectors for the serial ports. The RS-232/

422/485 ports have 10-pin connectors that include all necessary connections for all three protocols in addition to +12V.

The ports that support only RS-232 have 5-pin connectors that include Ground, TX, RX, CTS and RTS.
