  • Page 14: Panel Organization

    Introduction Panel Organization The NV9640A provides a tree-structured (or hierarchical) button layout. Configurers can define a “tree” of button pages in such a way that each of the 30 LCD buttons can either (1) execute a function or (2) select a subtree (i.e., present an entirely new set of functions at a different level in the tree).

  • Page 15: Alphanumeric Display

    NV9640A User’s Guide Scrolling is necessary when a list of items — for instance, source devices — exceeds the number of buttons available for the items. The panel adds ‘Forward’ and ‘Back’ buttons as necessary. Panels that use multi-destination mode will probably require ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons.

  • Page 16: Flags

    Introduction Panel Organization In X-Y mode, the preset column represents the levels of a source or the levels of multiple sources under breakaway. These are called the preset source(s). After the take, they disappear from the preset column and re-appear in the status column, reflecting that the preset sources have now become current sources.

  • Page 17: Modes Of Operation

    NV9640A User’s Guide During configuration, you can construct Boolean logic that switches the outputs on. The terms of the logic expressions are states of the source and destination devices, etc., controlled by the NV9000 control system. During configuration, you can prescribe NV9640A behavior that depends on the tally inputs. What you connect to the tally interface is, of course, up to you.

    NV9640A User’s Guide Default Name System Name A list of “name sets” appears in the drop-down menu. The name sets can be defined under the System Management pane of NV9000-SE Utilities. Choose ‘System Name’ in this list if you do not want, or do not care about, device name aliases.
  • Page 32 Configuration Panel Options • Hold Preset Default. Makes “hold” mode active when the panel reverts to its default state (after a Default State button is pressed, or when the panel is restarted). Note: a ‘Hold’ button is needed only when you want the operator to be able to view or change the mode.

  • Page 33: Button Definitions

    NV9640A User’s Guide • Jump back after destination selection. After you make a destination selection, the panel reactivates the default button page. Jumping back to the default page is usually helpful, but in some configuration designs, might not be. You can design your panel configuration to take advantage of the jump- back behavior.

  • Page 34: Button Specification

    Configuration Button Definitions When a device list appears on the panel, the system lights the ‘up’ button so the operator can easily return to the page containing the category button. Note Certain button fields contain a colon (:) and number after the data in the field. The number is the record ID of the object in the NV9000 configuration database.

Any page can have multiple navigation buttons and therefore multiple target pages. If you check this option, the button you are defining will occur, in the same posi- tion, on all pages in the subtree available through the navigation button.
  • Page 36 Configuration Button Definitions Type Description Category Displays a category’s device list. When you assign a category button, two additional drop-down menus appear: ‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’ . Choose a category from one of the category lists. When you choose a source category, the destination categories become inaccessible and vice versa: a category button must be either a source category or a destination category.
  • Page 37 NV9640A User’s Guide Type Description Free Source Defines a phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the data (control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for others to use. The free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
  • Page 38 Configuration Button Definitions Type Description Navigate During operation, a navigate button selects and displays a “target” button page. During configuration, a navigate button presents a dialog in which you can enter details of the target page.

    Operation Summary At any particular time, some of the buttons are enabled or disabled. Some are high-tally; some are low-tally; and some might be off (undefined). The buttons have different colors, the choices of which depend on the configurer’s intentions. Please refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide (or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if you are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.

  • Page 59: Levels

    NV9640A User’s Guide Buttons are also color-coded. The colors are specified in the NV9640A configuration. In most cases, buttons that are high-tally (bright) are active or selected. Buttons that are low-tally (muted) are inactive or unselected. Buttons that are dark either have no function or are momen- tarily disabled.

  • Page 60: Level Mapping

    Operation Summary The top line of text identifies the current source and should be identical to the matching entry in the ‘Status’ column of the display. The middle line identifies the preset source and should be identical to the matching entry in the ‘Preset’ column of the display. If there is no ‘Take’ pending, the preset fields will be blank, both in the display and on the buttons.

  • Page 61: Lists

    NV9640A User’s Guide The recommended configuration has 8 selection buttons — each button matches a line in the display. In MD mode, the selection buttons represent destinations in the MD destination set. It is possible for your panel to have more or fewer than 8 selection buttons on any particular button page.

  • Page 62: Breakaway

    Operation Operating Concepts Breakaway Routes can be all-level in which case they are taken on all levels defined for the destination. The acceptable sources for a route have the same levels as, or some configured mapping to, the levels of the destination. A breakaway can occur in X-Y mode.
