This driver is for the LiteTouch, Inc. 5000LC central lighting control system.

Revision History

1.0 Initial release of the driver

1.1 Fixed RS232 Initialization Bug

Config Settings

TCP Connection

The Ethernet connection on the LiteTouch 5000LC should be connected to the Network.

The factory default IP Address of the LiteTouch 5000LC Ethernet/serial enabled CPU card is 192.168.0.3 using port 10001.

- Note - When using the TCP connection for the driver, the 5000LC Ethernet port will not be available for 5000LC program updating using LiteWare.

If needing to update the 5000LC program via Ethernet use the "Close TCP/IP" command in Driver Commands to release the driver from port 10001.

Once the 5000LC is updated use the "Open TCP/IP" to restart the driver and the driver initialization will begin.

RS-232 Serial Port Settings

The RS-232 connection on the LiteTouch 5000LC interface should be connected directly to the XP-8 serial adapter; a null modem is not required.

The default baud rate of the LiteTouch 5000LC interface is 9600, but can be set to 19200 or 38400.
