Nemtek Fence Integration

Overview

The Nemtek communications task provides a high-level interface between an Integriti controller and Nemtek Electric Fence Energizers, I/O Cards, and the Nemtek Terminal.

The integration uses Automation Points (created automatically) to map Integriti entities to Nemtek entities. The communications task:

  • Scans Integriti entities for state changes and sends data to Nemtek Electric Fence Energizers
  • Processes incoming messages from Nemtek and updates Integriti entity states
  • Supports bidirectional control of energizer high voltage outputs
  • Monitors supply voltage (read-only from Nemtek)

Licensing

  • IR-996025 — High Security Fence IP HLI license
  • One IR-996025 license per Nemtek Druid or I/O module being integrated
  • Controller must be fitted with a smart card

Prerequisites

  • Integriti controller with smart card
  • High Security Fence IP HLI license (IR-996025) — one per Druid/I/O module
  • Integriti management software
  • Network connectivity to the Nemtek Electric Fence Terminal
  • Virtual Expander Modules created on the controller

Step-by-Step

1. Create Virtual Expander Modules

Right-click the controller in the hardware tree → Add New → Virtual Module.

Create one virtual module per Nemtek Energizer and one per I/O Card you plan to integrate.

2. Configure the Communications Task

Access via: Communications Tasks tab.

  1. Create a new communications task
  2. Enter a name and any necessary notes
  3. Under Comms Task Setup, set Type to NEMTEK
  4. Optionally set an Online Input (e.g., C01:Z33-Z99) — this input goes into alarm if the task fails

TCP Configuration:

  1. Expand the Configuration tab
  2. Enter the IP Address of the Nemtek Electric Fence Terminal (static address only)
  3. Enter the TCP Port

Map Energizers:

  1. Expand the Energizers tab
  2. Map each Electric Fence Energizer to a Virtual Module

Map I/O Cards:

  1. Expand the IO Cards tab

  2. Map each I/O Card to a Virtual Module

  3. Save and close

3. Auto-Generate Entity Names

After saving the communications task:

Right-click the Nemtek Comms Task → Select Auto Generate Names

This automatically sets the names of all Inputs and Auxiliaries on the configured virtual modules. Configuring automation points manually is not required — they are created automatically.

4. Create Analog Calibrations

Analog Calibrations map Nemtek Energizer voltage values to Integriti entities.

High Voltage Output (Bidirectional)

Access via: Analog Calibrations tab.

  1. Create a new Analog Calibration (e.g., named “NEMTEK HV”)
  2. Under Calibration Linear Component: Gain = 125, Shift = 0
  3. Expand Display tab:
    • Format/Scale: K0F5.0
    • Display String: Volts
  4. Save
  5. Navigate to the Auxiliaries of each Energizer
  6. Set the Analog Calibration of the Zone Output High Voltage auxiliary to this calibration
  7. Repeat for each energizer

The Zone Output High Voltage Aux value is bidirectional — it can be set via Integriti software or the Nemtek Electric Fence Terminal.

Supply Voltage Output (Read-Only)

Access via: Analog Calibrations tab.

  1. Create a new Analog Calibration (e.g., named “NEMTEK Supply”)
  2. Under Calibration Linear Component: Gain = 125, Shift = 0
  3. Expand Display tab:
    • Format/Scale: K3F2.3
    • Display String: Volts
  4. Save
  5. Navigate to the Auxiliaries of each Energizer
  6. Set the Analog Calibration of the Supply Voltage auxiliary to this calibration
  7. Repeat for each energizer

The Supply Voltage is set by the Nemtek Electric Fence Terminal and is only monitored by Integriti (read-only).

Verification

  1. Confirm the communications task shows as Online
  2. Verify the Online Input is sealed (not in alarm)
  3. Check that all energizer and I/O card inputs/auxiliaries have been auto-named correctly
  4. Monitor Supply Voltage values — should reflect actual energizer supply voltage
  5. Test bidirectional control by setting the Zone Output High Voltage from Integriti and confirming the energizer responds
  6. Verify alarms trigger when energizer zones are breached

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseAction
Communications task offlineNetwork connectivity issueVerify IP address and TCP port of the Nemtek Terminal; check network path
Communications task offlineLicense missingVerify IR-996025 licenses are provisioned for each Druid/I/O module
Entity names not populatingAuto Generate not runRight-click task → Auto Generate Names
Voltage values incorrectAnalog Calibration not configuredVerify Gain = 125, Shift = 0 and Format/Scale matches the voltage type
Zone output not respondingVirtual module mapping missingCheck Energizers tab — each energizer must be mapped to a virtual module
I/O Card inputs not updatingI/O Card mapping missingCheck IO Cards tab — each I/O card must be mapped to a virtual module
