Issue
Has the AC256 Xdriver been qualified or modified to work on any second generation controllers (NC2, bCX)?
Product Line
Andover Continuum
Environment
- bCx9640
- CX9680
- Xdriver
- AC256
- LA-1
Cause
With the obsolescence of the NetC (CX99xx), will the AC256 Xdriver be updated to work with NC2 and/or bCX controllers?
Resolution
There are no plans to upgrade the AC256 Xdriver for the NC2 and/or bCX.
One option, if a site only has AC256 IOU boards, is to use the NC2 and the LA-1 LBus Adapter module or the NC2 with built in LBus support (on comm4 or comm1 with an RS232-to-RS422 converter) to communicate over the LBus with Plain English programming in the NC2.
Note: If you configure the controller for Lbus (using the LA-1 or directly to comm1 or comm4) you cannot use Continuum IO modules on that controller.
For further information on X Driver compatibility and how to request new drivers/ upgrades, please see Will Continuum communicate with a third party system?
