NI-3100 netlinx integrated controller

LARGER, MULTIPLE ROOMS

The NI-3100, part of the NI Series of Master Controllers, satisfies the
control and automation features common in a larger area or multiple
rooms, which may include the integration of a larger number of devices
including VCR and DVD players, projectors, lighting, thermostats and
other electronic equipment. In technology-driven environments, this
solution allows for the future addition of more devices and control
capabilities.

The NI-3100 offers higher performance with a faster processor, 64MB of

onboard RAM and Duet-compatibility straight out of the box, simplifying
programming by standardizing device and function definitions, default
touch panel button assignments, and control and feedback methods.
Dynamic Device Discovery makes integration even easier by automatically
identifying and communicating with devices that are connected.

When growing businesses and homes demand future automation

enhancements, the NI-3100 comes with just the right "mix" of compatible
control formats:

• 8 – IR ports
• 8 – I/O
• 8 – Relays
• 7 – RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 Serial ports
• 2 – Communication Networks: AXLink and Ethernet (TCP/IP)
• Optional ICSNet Capability (requires optional ICSNet card)
