SIMPL Windows
SIMPL Windows was designed to supersede the CRESNET II Workshop. It
provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces (i.e.,
windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and monitor
a CRESNET control system.
NOTE:
The following description assumes that the reader has some knowledge of
SIMPL Windows. If not, please refer to the extensive help information provided
with the software.
Using the same example in the previous Workshop section, the following
paragraphs and illustrations provide insight to a small portion of a CRESNET
control system developed with SIMPL Windows.
To begin, the programmer should envision the system in block diagram form,
shown below.
Block Diagram of CRESNET Control System
Use the Configuration Manager workspace in SIMPL Windows to select and
configure all the devices that need to be included into the system. For this example,
a CT-3000 must be added to the system and its NET ID must be set to 11, shown
below.
Graphical System View in SIMPL Windows’ Configuration Manager
Use the Programming Manager workspace in SIMPL Windows to select symbols
and assign their respective signals. For this example, a touchpanel symbol was
added automatically when the CT-3000 was added to the system. Assign signals as
shown after this paragraph.
