Inversely, you can manually remove any IR functions from Touch Panel functions by selecting 

a Touch Panel function (from the right-hand table), and click the left-arrows button.

To add a serial (RS-232)-controlled device to your system, click the Add button in the System 

Information dialog. This opens the Device Configuration dialog - Device Data tab. 

Be aware that the target NetLinx Master device (being used by the project) must be able to support 

the number of serial devices being added to the system. For example, if four serial devices were 

added to a System (where they directly connect to the Master), then the NI-700 is not a valid choice 

because it only supports 2 serial connections. In this case. The NI-700 option is disabled during the 

final project build process (using the Finish button).

However, if the serial devices were communicating to the Master via external serial interfaces such 

as an AXB-232++, an NI-700 could be used. If the cable run distance from the COM port and the 

external Serial device is too far, it is recommended that you assign a different COM port within the 

Use remote serial interface drop-down list. If the cable run distance from the serial interface and 

the external Serial device is close enough, you can use both ports on the serial interface.

These external Serial devices communicate via the external serial interfaces to an AXB-232++ and 

are not directly communicating with a Master (NI-700); therefore, these interfaces do not consume 

Serial communication ports on the Master. This device configuration can function with an NI-700 

when all of the Serial communications are routed from the external serial interfaces through an 

AXB-232++ RS232/422/485. 

The AXB-232++ provides a way to bridge the gap between an NI-700 (with no ICSNet port) and 

the external serial interfaces, but when working with the RS232/422/485 device, the end-user must 

use the AXlink device IDs generated by DXP-HT. 

This device ID information is saved along with the COM port assignments and if another Master 

device is later chosen as the target Master, the COM port assignments will be reflected within the 

project report and used by the project wizard.

To add a serial-controlled device to your system, click the Add button in the System Information 

dialog. This opens the Device Configuration dialog - Device Data tab:

Select the type of equipment you are adding from the Source Type drop-down list.

Enter a name for the device in the Display Name field. This is the name for the device that will 

appear on the touch panel.

Use the radio buttons to select Serial as the Control Method associated with the new device.
