Crestron QM-RMC Room Media Controller
Sub-Slot 4.1 (Device Extender): Device Status
Speed Key Name: devstat
Signal
•
Digital output: < offline >
Description
The Device Status symbol is a device extender for plug-in control cards,
including the C2ENET-1 card. It reports the connection status of the card.
The < offline > input goes high for as long as a card is unavailable for polling or
is physically disconnected from its Ethernet slot. The < offline > input goes low
when the card is online.
Slot 5: C21-C2N-RMC2E-FRONTPANEL
The C2I Front Panel is the non-programmable front panel of the QM-RMC and
other 2-Series control systems and does not provide an LCD display or push
buttons.
Converting Programs and Modules Created for other
Systems
A useful feature of SIMPL Windows is that you can convert a program created
for another type of control system, simply by changing the target to a QM-RMC.
To do this you first open the program, and then replace the existing control
system with the QM-RMC. That is, drag the QM-RMC from the Control
Systems folder onto the existing control system in
System Views , and click Yes
when prompted to confirm the replacement.
If the program contains SIMPL+ or User modules, the conversion might
generate error messages. This is because modules and programs often contain
symbols with “ambiguous” signals. For example, the inputs of the Serial to
Analog symbol can be defined as either analog or serial. Although X-Generation
processors support ambiguous signals, the 2-Series processor requires all signal
types to be strictly defined.
If the program you want to convert contains SIMPL+ or User modules, Crestron
recommends that you first compile each module before converting the larger
program. In this way, the compiler can resolve any ambiguous signals in the
modules and minimize errors when the larger program is converted.
Converting SIMPL+ Modules for 2-Series
1. Open the SIMPL+ module you want to convert.
2. Choose the 2-Series processor as the target by clicking the toolbar
button, as shown in the following illustration.
