SP+ Softwire Panels

Front Panel Controls

Softwire Panel pushbuttons can be programmed individually or in any combination as a single

device or as a group. The bargraph LEDs can also be programmed individually or as a group. The

LEDs can be used with any one of the pushbuttons or as an independent display indicator. FIG. 1

illustrates the standard configuration for the SP+ panels. This is the complete pushbutton

arrangement when all 64 pushbuttons and three LED bargraphs are used. By using custom engraved

panels, you can configure the grouping and marking of the pushbuttons to suit your application.

Rear Panel Components

The SP+ rear panels contain the AXlink bus connector, AXlink LED, and the DIP switch that is

used to set the panel's device number. FIG. 2 shows the back panel component configuration.

! AXlink (indicator) A green LED indicates activity of the AXlink bus connected to an

Axcess Control System.

! Device Number Assigned to devices connected to the AXlink bus. Every device on the

bus must have a unique device code. An 8-position DIP switch is used to set the device

number for the AXP-SP+ Softwire Panels.
