Interface Menu
The touchpanel communicates with a control system to activate commands or to
display feedback from components within the system. The communication interface
must be correctly specified or communication will not occur. To set communication
parameters select the Interface button located on the SETUP MENU and display the
INTERFACE MENU, shown below.
The Cresnet network identity number (CRESNET ID also known as the Net ID) is
displayed on the INTERFACE MENU. Net ID is the two-digit hexadecimal number.
The hexadecimal number can range from 03 to FE and must correspond to the Net
ID set in the SIMPL Windows program of the Cresnet system. Matching IDs
between touchpanel and SIMPL Windows program is required if data is to be
successfully transferred. Net ID for the TPS-12G/15G-L is factory set to 03. No two
devices in the same system can have the same Net ID.
INTERFACE MENU
Two buttons adjacent to the hexadecimal display, DOWN and UP, decrease and
increase the Net ID by one, respectively.
The four buttons on the bottom define how the RS-232 port can be used; as a console
port (i.e., loading touchpanel projects and firmware), a touch output port
(communication of touch coordinates to an external device), a mouse input port
(allows a mouse to control the touchpanel) and an External Touch Input.
The touchpanel usually communicates with a Cresnet system. Occasionally the
touchpanel can be used in a demo mode where it merely displays various menus, but
does not communicate with a Cresnet system. In demo mode, the directory buttons
change pages, but buttons requiring feedback do not work. The Cresnet II buttons,
Enable and Disable, determine communication mode. Select Enable for normal
Cresnet communication mode and Disable to put the touchpanel into demo mode.
Communication mode is factory set to Enable.
There may be Ethernet devices (i.e., a control system) on the network that
communicates with the touchpanel via CIP (Cresnet Internet Protocol). The CIP
buttons, located on the INTERFACE MENU, determine if the touchpanel is capable
of this type of communication. Select Enable to permit this protocol recognition and
Disable to prohibit any CIP connection. CIP must be enabled for the touchpanel to
communicate with other Crestron Ethernet devices.
