Identify the equipment that is going to be controlled.
Programmers should refer to the Device Identification List in the Programming
Design Kit, Job Design Specification, or other documentation that lists equipment
that is to be controlled.
Determine how the equipment is going to be controlled.
Knowing how the various pieces of equipment are going to be controlled is very
important. This will let the programmer know what control devices (Network
Module, Control Card, or other) will be necessary to control the equipment.
For example: IR control devices require a CNXIR –8 plug-in card.
Configure the system in SIMPL Windows
Configure the system by building it in the Configuration Manager. Locate the
control system in the Device Library. Drag and drop the system into the System
Views window. Complete the system configuration by adding interface devices,
network modules, control cards, and other devices. All the necessary Crestron
hardware should be included in your configuration.
Program the system in SIMPL Windows
After the system is built by adding all the necessary Crestron hardware, begin
programming the system by working in the Programming Manager. Program each
button function from the system touchpanels or other user interface devices. Begin
by naming the output signals from the user interface. Select the symbol(s) needed for
the program in the Symbol Library. Drag and drop the symbols into the Program
View window. Assign signal names to symbol inputs and outputs in the Detail View
window.
