NOTE:
Other signals are a combination of the three basic types (e.g., many symbols
accept either analog or serial signals where the combination is shown as a green
signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is highlighted.
For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide. It
may be downloaded from the Crestron website.
Digital Signals
A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two
values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and
they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low,
recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive.)
Analog Signals
Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same
manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals
contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values
ranging from 0 to 65535 (2
16
-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for
controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers,
pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers.
Serial Signals
Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of
information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly-to
control volume or temperature, for instance–the value of the serial signal is used as a
pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters. When a serial
signal is routed to a symbol, that symbol can identify the signal as serial rather than
analog and it will automatically look at the data it points to.
Thus serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of
characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a
symbol that has a serial output.
TPS-3000 Input/Output Signals
The TPS-3000 symbol provides up to 4000 digital and/or analog input and output
joins, and up to 999 serial input joins. The programmer selects the signal types by
clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the S
ymbol Detail
view when
programming the panel.
The following tables list and give functional descriptions for the touchpanel outputs
and inputs.
Digital Output Signal Descriptions
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
press 1 through press 4000
Notifies control system of button press (1 - 4000).
High/1 = Button being pressed
Low/0 = Button not being pressed
Digital Input Signal Descriptions
INPUT DESCRIPTION
fb 1 through fb 4000
Notifies panel of button press (1 - 4000).
This can represent that the button was pressed, or
can be an actual device feedback, e.g., that power
was turned on.
