Device Extenders
Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll
Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels. For
the STX-1700C in wired mode only, the Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on and off
line during polling by the control system. In wireless mode, Sleep/Wake Manager
suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For additional information about
Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol
Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included with SIMPL Windows.
Modifying a SIMPL Windows Project for Roaming
To implement roaming in a system that originally had two STX-1700Cs and one
gateway, you would need to add an STRFGWX RF gateway to your SIMPL Windows
project and add two STX-1700Cs under the new gateway in System Views. For
simplicity, in this example we assigned the original gateway a Cresnet ID of 03 and
the original touchpanels RF IDs of 01 and 02. To extend the range, we will assign the
new gateway a Cresnet ID of 04 and add two new touchpanel symbols in the system.
These touchpanels will have the same RF IDs (01 and 02) as the original touchpanels
mentioned above. Additionally, in Program View, you will need to duplicate the logic
for each touchpanel communicating with the original gateway and paste it in the
touchpanel symbol associated with the added gateway. For example, the logic in the
original STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 01 must be copied and pasted in the new
STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 01. The logic in the original STX-1700C symbol at RF
ID 02 must be copied and pasted in the new STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 02. To do
this for RF ID 01 (in Program View), place the arrow cursor on the original
touchpanel at RF ID 01. Right click and hold the mouse button to select RF ID 01.
Drag and drop this RF ID 01 selection on the new touchpanel at RF ID 01 and release
the mouse button (a pulldown menu appears). Select Copy All Signals/ Parameters
from the pulldown menu.
Programming with VT Pro-e
Control screen variations incorporating two- and three-dimensional graphics and text
are possible and can be created with VT Pro-e, a design and programming Windows
based software program. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for
each application. Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal, color-oriented
control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and three-dimensional
buttons, and floor plans. The project is uploaded to the touchpanel's flash PROM. The
touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be
disconnected from the control processor except when uploading a project.
For additional software information, refer to the help file provided with the software.
The latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the Crestron website.
