When AMX designed the NetLinx control system, the goal was to upgrade the processor,
bus and to greatly improve the power of the programming language. Originally named
Axcess2, the new language was designed to be a superset of the Axcess programming
language. NetLinx contains all of the elements of Axcess.
You cannot compile NetLinx code on an Axcess compiler, and likewise, you cannot
download NetLinx code to an Axcess control system. To upgrade existing Axcess control
system to NetLinx you have to upgrade the Axcess master to a NetLinx master. You can
still use the existing Axcess equipment as long as you can disable the existing Axcess
Central Controller.
