Integrated Control System
Before installing any tools, confirm that all applications such as Microsoft Office, etc.
are closed. The website and CD provide instructions for installing the various
development tools. When initiating a custom install from the CD, the user is
presented with a list of the software programs, documentation, and other resources
available on the CD-ROM. For each item, set or clear a checkbox to the left of the
item to direct the installation program whether to install that component onto the hard
drive. The size of the items installed determines how much hard disk space is
required.
Each development tool contains a help file that can be opened from the Help pull-
down menu. Refer to these files for additional information.
Memory
The CNMSX has non-volatile and volatile memory. Non-volatile memory contains
information that is retained after loss of electrical power. Volatile memory is lost after
a power failure. Refer to the lists below for a breakdown of memory for program-
related information stored in the CNMSX.
Non-volatile
1. SIMPL+ Modules (always permanent)
2. SIMPL+ Variables
3. SIMPL Program (after written to permanent memory)
4. Ops, Monitor, TCP/IP Stack
5. Signals explicitly written to NVRAM (by symbols such as RAM,
RAM2, SMEM, SMEM2, RAMPNV, DRAM, etc.)
Volatile
1. Digital, analog and serial signal values
2. SIMPL Program (prior to writing to permanent memory)
Initial Setup
NOTE:
For the Ethernet IP setup of the CNMSX with the optional CNX Ethernet
expansion card, refer to the CNXENET or Operations & Installation
Guide (latest revision of Doc. 8129 or 8153, respectively) for further information.
To avoid any procedural
errors, follow the steps in the
order provided.
After installing the desired development tool, various job files may be obtained from
Crestron or other sources. Using Windows Explorer, complete the following steps.
These steps ensure that all job files reside on the hard drive (C:) in a directory
named \CRESTRON\PROJECTS\MYJOB.
1. Navigate to the SIMPL directory on the hard drive. Assume that the
default install directory is C:\CRESTRON.
2. Create a new folder for the project files. Although the folder where the
files are placed is not critical, it is easier to manage projects if a logical
structure is created. For example, create a new folder, called
PROJECTS, underneath the CRESTRON directory. Create another
folder, called MYJOB, under PROJECTS for the current job. The
resulting pathname is C:\CRESTRON\PROJECTS\ MYJOB.
