I already have a controller that can send RS232 commands. Is it possible to connect the IR controller to it? The controller is limited to 16 characters. What are the possiblities to trigger the sending of IR commands?

No. The SECU16IR requires a bus command over RS-485 in order to reansmit IR codes. Also, the SECU16IR doesn't store the IR codes internally but recieves the code timing information over the adnet bus in a command over 200 bytes long.

If I understand correctly, I need to connect the Ocelot controller to the SECU16IR.
Does the Ocelot accept rs232 commands for sending IR commands through the SECU16IR? If so, How long can be a command for sending an IR code to a single zone?

Yes, you need the Ocelot.
To get the Ocelot to send IR commands, you just need to send it a 8 character string. Look at this FAQ post and scroll down to the "Old" ASCII Protocol section. You will see that the strings are in the format "+T000010" for sending codes through the Ocelot's own IR output. Furthur down there are also commands to select a remote (SECU16IR) zone and then send commands.
