Introduction
Welcome
The SI-2 System Integrator provides a vital link point
between any iCANnet network and a third party device
such as an audio visual unit. The compact SI-2 System
Integrator provides a 5-way connector block at one end
for the iCANnet link and a 9-pin D-type female socket
at the other end for the RS232 serial connection to the
third party device.
Using the intuitive iCANsoft application, you can pro-
gram the SI-2 to search for particular actions or mes-
sages received from other control units attached to the
iCANnet network. When a received action or message
matches a stored template, the SI-2 will send a control
message to the device connected via the serial port.
Similarly, the SI-2 also monitors messages being sent
back from the connected serial device and when any of
those messages match those stored within its memory,
a range of actions can be triggered on the iCANnet
network.
The SI-2 System Integrator can store up to 100 input
and output messages together with their related actions.
Additionally, the SI-2 can store up to 16 sequences,
each of which can comprise up to 128 separate steps to
allow multiple actions to be triggered by a single com-
mand.

Connections
iCANnet wiring
Cable connections to the iCANnet network are made to
a removable 5-way connector block located at one end
of the SI-2 unit:
Termination off
Termination on
iCANnet termination
The iCANnet link is a ‘daisy chain’ protocol that requires
termination on the devices located at either end of the
iCANnet chain.
The SI-2 unit is supplied with termination enabled as
standard. If it is not connected as an end device in the
iCANnet chain, you need to disable termination.
Note: The connection to the serial device is treated
separately and has no impact on whether or not the SI-2
should be terminated.
To disable SI-2 termination, move the jumper from the
lower two pins to the upper two pins, as shown here:

iCANnet announce button
The SI-2 unit features a small button adjacent to the
green connector which can be used to add the device to
an iCANnet network. When pressed, the SI-2 will send
an announcement message across the iCANnet net-
work. Please see the section ‘Adding the SI-2 to
iCANsoft’ for more details.

Serial device connection
The SI-2 unit provides an RS232 link via a standard 9-
pin D-type female connector. The SI-2 uses ve pins of
the D-type connector as shown below:
The various serial communication parameters used by
the SI-2 serial port are all fully congurable using the
iCANsoft application:
Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 or 115200

Operation indicators
The SI-2 unit has a red and green indicator at either end
to assist with conguration and troubleshooting.

At the RS232 end
Green: RS232 data received
Red: RS232 data sent
Green ashing: Normal operation

Viewing SI-2 details in iCANsoft
Once the SI-2 unit has been added to the iCANsoft
application, it will appear in the devices list within the
Workspace window:
Programming
This section provides details about programming items
specic to the SI-2 system integrator within the
iCANsoft application. For details about the general use
of iCANsoft, please refer to the System manual.
Adding the SI-2 to iCANsoft
Once the SI-2 System Integrator has been connected
to the iCANnet network, you can add it to the iCANsoft
application in any of the following three ways:
• Within the iCANsoft main window, click the icon,
• Within the iCANsoft main window, select ‘Tools’ >
‘Advanced Network Search’, or
• On the SI-2 unit, adjacent to the green connector
block, press and release the small button to cause
an announcement message to be sent across the
network.
Note: Where there are multiple SI-2 units installed
on a network, you can use the announce button to
pinpoint the device within iCANsoft. Its entry within
the device list will appear in bold and the iCANsoft
output section will provide device number details.
To view the conguration window for the SI-2 system
integrator, double click its entry within the list.
The SI-2 conguration window
This tabbed window provides all of the options neces-
sary to program the SI-2 unit.

RS232 communication settings
Before the SI-2 system integrator can successfully com-
municate with the device to which it is connected, you
must ensure that the RS232 communication settings
of the device match those of the SI-2 unit. For details
about discovering or changing the communication set-
tings for the connected device, please refer to docu-
mentation supplied with it.
To adjust SI-2 unit communication settings
1 Click on the ‘COMMS’ tab to display the following
page:
Note: The ‘COMMS’ tab is the furthest right of all
the tabs, you may need to use the horizontal scroll
buttons in the top right corner to reveal the tab if the
window size is limited.
2 Use the options within the ‘RS232 Comms’ section
to select the appropriate settings that match those
used by the connected device.
3 Optionally, change the ‘ASCII Messages’ section to
determine how special ‘Virtual Control Messages’ are
transferred across the SI-2. Please refer to Appendix
1 for more details about Virtual Control Messages.
4 When all settings have been made, either click the
Apply button to save without closing the window or
click the OK button to save and close.
Use this section to ensure that the SI-2
communication settings match those of
the connected device.
This option determines how the SI-2
should deal with Virtual Control Messages.
These are system level control messages,
as opposed to your custom message
strings which operate at device level. The
SI-2 passes these special ASCII virtual
control messages unchanged between the
iCANnet network and the RS232 serial port
according to the setting of this option.
Note: The setting of this option does not
affect the transfer of standard custom
message strings.
ASCII Messages DISABLED - Prevents
any transfer of virtual control messages
through the SI-2.
ASCII Receive ENABLED - Allows virtual
control messages to ow only from the
RS232 serial link to the iCANnet network.
ASCII Transmit ENABLED - Allows virtual
control messages to ow only from the
iCANnet network to the RS232 serial link.
Rx/Tx both ENABLED - Permits free ow
of virtual control messages between the
iCANnet and the RS232 serial port.
Scroll buttons - if the main window size
does not allow all tabs to be displayed at
once, use these buttons to reveal hidden
tabs.

Startup action
The Startup Actions tab allows you to optionally arrange
for a particular action to be instigated every time that the
SI-2 unit is powered on.
To choose a startup action
1 Click on the ‘Startup Actions’ tab to display the
following page:
2 Click on the rst entry to highlight it and also to show
selection box for the ‘Action Type’ column. Click
on the ‘Action Type’ down arrow to reveal the list of
available options:
3 Select the required action type. Depending upon the
chosen action, one or more of the ‘Param’ columns
to the right will show their own selection options. You
can use these to further dene the action that should
occur during the SI-2 startup phase.
Note: When selecting the RS232 Serial Message
option, the available output message strings can be
viewed and altered within the ‘Output Strings’ tab.
4 When all settings have been made, either click the
Apply button to save without closing the window or
click the OK button to save and close.
P8
Input strings
The ‘Input Strings’ tab is where you can dene the mes-
sages that you expect to receive from the connected
device. Once dened, you can then use the related
‘Input Actions’ page to determine what action the SI-2
should take when any particular message is received.
To dene or alter an input string
1 Click on the ‘Input Strings’ tab to display the
following page:
2 Double click the required entry to display the
following edit dialog box:
3 Using either the HEX editor area on the left or the
‘Insert from cursor’ eld on the right, enter or edit the
message string, as necessary.
4 When the message is complete, click the OK button
to return to the ‘Input Strings’ page.
5 Within the ‘Input Strings’ page, you can enter/edit
all other required strings and, when all settings have
been made, either click the Apply button to save
without closing the window or click the OK button to
save and close.
Enter the string (in ASCII) here and then
click the Insert button.
ASCII area -
This area shows
the current
message string
as ASCII
characters.
HEX editor area - This area shows the cur-
rent message string either in hexadecimal
or decimal notation, depending on the
setting in the lower left corner.
String name -
You can edit the
title of the string
here.
