Appendix 

The purpose of this Appendix is to provide a programming solution for those that 
prefer the last screen to be displayed when the touchpanel turns on after 
encountering a POWER DOWN TIMEOUT. Stated simply, an INTERLOCK 
symbol needs to be incorporated so that the control system flips to the last page 
rather than the page marked as first. The information in this Appendix is not meant 
for everyone; only those who wish to adopt this feature.  

Overview 

This Appendix offers a simple example of a control system that has three devices to 
control: TV, VCR, and projector. As such, the VT Pro project includes three pages, 
one for each device. Particular settings must be made on each device page to ensure 
proper functionality. To support the goal of having the last page appear, the SIMPL-
I program needs to be adjusted via SIMPL Windows. This Appendix provides a 
SIMPL block diagram and description to characterize the details of the adjustment.  

VT Pro Project 

NOTE:

 The control logic for these devices is omitted for the sake of clarity.  

NOTE:

  It is assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of VT Pro. If any of 

the terms in this discussion are unfamiliar, please review VT Pro’s on-line help 
contents.  

The VT Pro project in this example contains three device pages: TV, VCR, and 
PROJECTOR, shown below.
