It can be one of 255 devices in the Axcess Control System. Set the device number with the total value of all ON (down) positions. As an example, the device DIP switch shown below defines device number 129 (1+128=129). Position 1 2 3 4 5 Value 6 7 8 OFF OFF ON ON 12345 678 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 AMX standard device numbers are assigned as follows: Cards are 1 through 25. Boxes are 96 through 127. Panels are 128 through 255. Preparing/connecting captive wires 1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires. 2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section. 3. Tighten the screws to secure the wires. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

AXP-CPI16 16-Channel Custom Panel Interface 7 Installation 8 AXP-CPI16 16-Channel Custom Panel Interface Programming Programming Use the same Axcess commands as with other AXlink control panels, such as the AXU-MSP series mini-softwire panels. When using the AXP-CPI16 as a control device, use On, Off, and Pulse commands to control sources connected to outputs and Push and Release commands to receive inputs. For additional information, refer to the Axcess Programming Language instruction manual. Send_Commands Command 'STATUS-ON' Description Causes the AXP-CPI16 to be in Status-On Mode. This command overrides the mode setting. 'STATUS-OFF' Causes the AXP-CPI16 to be in Status-Off Mode. This command overrides the mode setting. The AXP-CPI16 uses input channels to report user input on the contacts or switches attached to the input terminals. Output channels are used to turn on the lamp or LED display devices to indicate the button status to the user. The AXP-CPI16 default mode is STATUS-OFF, and in this mode the programmer cannot poll the AXPCPI16 to determine the state of the output channel. This is because in this mode the output and input channels use the same number assignments. Inputs are sent by the AXP-CPI16 only as input changes. When set for STATUS-ON mode the output channels are assigned a different channel number than the input channels. This allows the programmer to monitor the status of an output channel. However the channel offset must be accommodated in the programming code. Statements such as this example can be used in a program. IF[CPI16,25] (* output channel assigned to input channel 9 on P3 connector *) Each of the two 20-pin connectors is assigned a group of 8 input and output channels. The table below shows the relation of input and output channels in the STATUS modes. Input/Output STATUS Mode Mode Inputs Outputs Connector P2 P3 P2 P3 STATUS-OFF (default) Chan 1-8 (Push/Release only) Chan 9-16 (On/Off only) Chan 1-8 (Push/Release only) Chan 9-16 (On/Off only) STATUS-ON Chan 1-8 (On/Push/Off/Release) Chan 17-24 (On/Off) Chan 9-16 (On/Push/Off/Release) Chan 25-32 (On/Off) The AXP-CPI16 may be configured to default to STATUS-ON mode using the following method. The commands can force a change to the mode no matter what default mode is configured for the device. STATUS-ON Mode: Remove R7 (1K ohm) resistor OR short across R8 for STATUS-ON mode.
