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-4000 Input/Output Signals
The TPS-4000 symbol provides up to 4000 digital input and output joins, 4000
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

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 a button press on the
touchpanel screen (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 digital feedback (1 - 4000). This
can represent that a touchpanel button was
pressed or can be an actual device feedback, e.g.,
that power was turned on.
Analog Output Signal Descriptions
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
an_act 1 through an_act 4000 Notifies control system of an action that produces
an analog change (i.e. a moving slider control)
(1 - 4000). Any value from 0 through 65535
Analog Input Signal Descriptions
INPUT DESCRIPTION
an_fb 1 through an_fb 4000
Notifies panel of analog feedback (1 - 4000).
Serial Input Signal Descriptions
INPUT DESCRIPTION
text-01 through text-999
Notifies panel of new dynamic text string (1 - 999).
Also called indirect text.
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.
