An xControl LCD that will be connected to a NION requires an EIA-485 cable with an RJ-45 plug at one end and a DB-9 plug at the other end. When two xControl LCDs are daisy chained together, a cable with an RJ-45 connector at each end is required.
Note: The xControl LCD must have both a power ground connection and a separate data ground connection, but other types of XControl devices (XControl 4x4s, for example) do not require separate ground connections. If you are intending to daisy chain an xControl LCD to another type of XControl device, it is important that both ground connections to the xControl LCD are made.
