NOTE:

 This procedure sets the Net ID for the TPS4 in the program only. It does not 

automatically set the Net ID for the C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U hardware. SIMPL 
Windows automatically changes Net ID values of a device added to a program if a 
duplicate device or a device with the same Net ID already exists in the program. 
Always ensure that the hardware and software settings of the Net ID match. For Net 
ID hardware setting details, refer to “Identity Code” on page 9. 

Symbols in Programming Manager 

Programming Manager is where programmers “program” a Creston control system 
by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol for the C2N-TPS-TPS4 (Cresnet) can 
be viewed by double-clicking on the icons or dragging them into 

Detail View

. A 

description for each signal in the symbol is provided in the SIMPL Windows help 
file (

F1

). 

Device Extender 

If you wish to have the program sense the open and closed position of the flip top, 
insert the Flip Top Open/Close device extender. 

Example Program 

An example program for the C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U is available from the “Example 
Program” section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/exampleprograms

)

Search for C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U.ZIP. 

Programming with VT Pro-e 

VT Pro-e, design and programming Windows

-based software, permits the creation 

of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and three-dimensional 
graphics and text. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each 
TPS4 touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control 
graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which 
allow the user to interface with the control system via join numbers. Unjoined 
objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions. The 
completed and compiled project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into 
the flash PROM via the 

File | Upload Project

 command. The touchpanel uses the 

Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6398
