  • Page 16 Once opened, your saved configuration will appear within the UCON display. Figure 1-4. Now double-click the layout configuration (noted icon above) to activate your working interface. You can also activate the panel editing window (shown below) by right-clicking the icon and selecting ‘Edit’ from the drop-down menu. FIGURE 1-3.
  • Page 17 Previously created sources and destinations are listed alphabetically in the two lists at the right side of the display. The items contained in the functions list (lower-right) can be directly applied to individual buttons. FIGURE 1-4. The items that will be placed in the Name column are known as “Menus”, and in our example there are 32.
  • Page 18 The layouts within the corresponding column are available for any one of the indicated ‘menus’ to the left (Name column). The Panel Layout selection is made by clicking the drop down menu within the layout column (illustration below) and making a selection from the list provided. Figure 1-5.

  • Page 19: Layout Selection - Examples

    Layout Selection - Examples The illustration below contains a partition (1) 16x2 navigation panel. Sixteen buttons along the top by two rows. Figure 1-7. 16x2. In the following config there is no ‘Partition 2’, as partition 2 would contain the navigation buttons, which are not modifiable.
  • Page 20 The buttons to the far right are typically used as navigation buttons, and can include page up and page down controls. Important note concerning the ‘single mode' operation • It is always a good idea to include a ‘back’ button for the purpose of returning to a previous menu layout, otherwise the user is isolated in the current button layout.

  • Page 21: 7X2 And 1X2

    Remember that page UP and page DOWN will cycle through sources and destinations. If you would like to step back to a previous layout however, use the ‘Back’ button, which is located in the same column as Page Up and Page Down. Figure 1-12.

  • Page 22: 18X2

    18x2 This corresponds to 18 inputs by two rows, all on the same partition. This layout allows all status visibility within the same partition. Figure 1-14. 18x2 Partition Display - 8x2 Configuration Figure 1-15. In this configuration the Sources are displayed within the tables by clicking the light green buttons on the virtual panel.
  • Page 23 The Destinations are shown in the tables by clicking the blue buttons on the virtual panel. The 3rd partition (red navigation buttons) are not modifiable. Figure 1-16. Destinations The right (blue) buttons are populated with sources by making a list selection from the column shown and dragging all items to the middle table.

  • Page 30: Panel Operation

    Panel Operation Setting the System up with a standard issue template The first time a layout is defined you will be presented with an initial menu item called ‘Top’, which occupies the upper left-most cell. Figure 1-28. Top (menu item) 1-20 UCP Series...
  • Page 31 Top is hand typed in, and actually corresponds to a ‘top’ menu, meaning, this is the menu that is located farthest back (when Back his selected). Figure 1-29. Top menu The ‘Layout’ (one column over) is the actual panel layout that will be associated with the above menu when a drop-down selection is made.
  • Page 32 The “x1” or “x2” following the layout title represents the number of partitions. As an example, 16x1 will appear as follows:. Figure 1-31. 16x1 example The partition structure is represented inside the middle table and can be displayed graphically by clicking the actual buttons (up or down) on the interface.
  • Page 33 Note: The Partition table remains blank at this point in the setup. Figure 1-33. Blank partition table The only menu item that exists is ‘Top’ along the Control Functions column (lower right of display). Figure 1-34. Top - name and description 1-23 UCP LC 32/80...

  • Page 42: System Salvo Entry

    System Salvo Entry A system salvo is a desired set of outputs that correspond to a set of inputs, matched to a single Take. Salvos are created when a device is edited within UCON by right-clicking the device, then selecting edit from the pop-up menu. Setting Up a Salvo Right-click the controller icon in the UCON interface and click Edit.
  • Page 43 Figure 1-48. Select the salvo to edit by using the drop-down menu (upper-left corner), then select the desired Level by clicking the check boxes in the ‘Selected Levels’ group area. Next, add Outputs (dragged from the lower-right column) and the Sources (upper-right column) that will be associated with the Outputs.

  • Page 44: Panel Template Definition For Salvo Use

    When the salvo is defined (outputs and sources added), click the Save button. Repeat the above process if you would like to create an additional Salvo. For the purpose of this exercise we will set up one additional Salvo. Click OK when you are finished defining Salvos, which will return you to the previous dialog. From there, click the OK button to return to the UCON Home screen.
  • Page 45 Note: If you are working with a pre-existing template for salvo use, make your template selection from the Panel menu. Your display will resemble the Figure above once your template is loaded. The Main menu is indicated with the highlighted cell at the upper-left corner of the display. Figure 1-52.
  • Page 46 Sources and Destinations are applied to the Control and Entry columns by dragging any and all source and destination from the listings at the right side of the display. Figure 1-53. Once a Source or Destination is dropped into a row, the Control and Entry columns will update, displaying the specific name (Entry column) and the router’s Source or Destination (Control column).
  • Page 47 Status menus can be added to the table by dragging the corresponding menu selection from the lower-right listing to a blank row, or an already populated row if you’d like to update the contents. Figure 1-54. In our example, the completed steps to this point have allowed us to define a set of buttons for the originally highlighted menu (see Figure 1-52).

  • Page 48: System Salvo Definition

    System Salvo Definition In the Name column (left-hand table) a salvo is indicated as a new menu item by typing ‘Salvo’ in the blank, highlighted cell. This will add the salvo to the panel menu. Figure 1-55. Next, select the layout type from the drop-down menu. Figure 1-56.
  • Page 49 Now, define the salvo by adding the control function to the column (shown below). Figure 1-57. As you make highlight selections (Control/Entry columns), the ‘Button’ tab area changes (blue arrow above). In our example, two salvos were set up (Salvo #0 and Salvo #1). For reference, see Figure 1-49.

  • Page 50: Salvo Rename

    Salvo Rename If you would like to rename the salvo, select one of the salvos from the drop-down menu (shown above), and type a new name in the ‘Primary Text’ field to more appropriately depict its actual use (“control1”, “mobile2”, etc.). Figure 1-59.

  • Page 51: Adding Existing Salvos To New Buttons

    Adding Existing Salvos to New Buttons This sequence describes the salvo setup process when the salvo itself is already defined (see See “Setting Up a Salvo” on page 32.) First, select the menu to which is the salvo to be added. Figure 1-61.
  • Page 52 Highlight the Main menu in the Name column, then select the ‘Menus’ listing in the lower-right selection dialog. Figure 1-63. The salvo just created (Figure 1-62) will appear in the lower-right listing. Drag this menu item to the Control/Entry columns (below). Figure 1-64.
  • Page 53 Now highlight the new salvo listing in the Name column, then with the salvo highlighted in the Control/Entry columns, define the button attributes in the adjacent dialog window (see below). Figure 1-65. Select one of the salvos from the drop-down menu, then rename it if desired. Figure 1-66.

  • Page 54: Operation

    Now click the Button Attributes tab and change the button color if needed. Repeat the above step to add an additional salvo to a button. Once the salvos are in place (added to buttons), click Save, then OK to return to the main UCON interface, or you can click Program to send the new button designation directly to the panel.
