Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radio Communications Compliance Labeling (N11785).
NOTE: These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) these devices may not cause harmful interference, and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Setup

Network Wiring

NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Software and Wiring Diagrams section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com)
.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
R = Resistance (refer to table below).
R <
40,000
L x PF
Where:
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet . PF = Power factor of entire run (or chain).
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may be necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be desirable to add a hub/repeater after only 20 network devices.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the Cresnet system requires a unique Cresnet identity code (NET ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. Refer to “Select Interface” on page 7 for instructions on setting the unit’s NET ID. The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 12 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.

Configuring the Touchpanel

MAIN MENU
This menu can also be obtained via digital reserved join number, 17242.

CALIBRATION MENU

NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touchpanel is power. Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 9 for details.
To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation. The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held (approx. 5 seconds) to the touchscreen when power is applied.
Upon entering SETUP MODE, the MAIN MENU, shown to the left, displays four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run Program, Setup, and Diagnostics.
Selecting Exit and Run Program verifies that all of the setup information has been saved to EEPROM and displays the main page that has been programmed into the touchpanel. The remaining buttons on the MAIN MENU open other menus, which are discussed in subsequent paragraphs.
Calibration Menu
Calibration of the touchscreen is required if the active touch area of a button does not coincide with the button's image. Select the Touch Screen Calibration display the CALIBRATION MENU, as shown to the left. The CALIBRATION MENU offers the choice to initiate calibration with the Perform Calibration button or return to the previous screen with the Return button. Choose an option by touching the appropriate button.
If you need to calibrate the touchpanel, the screen displays the message "Touch Upper Left" centered on the panel with a cross hair in the upper left corner. Touch the cross hair to initiate calibration. Another message, "Touch Upper Right", appears with a cross hair in the correct corner. Touch the cross hair. A final message, “Touch Lower Right”, appears with a cross hair in the correct corner. Touch the crosshair to finish the calibration and return to the MAIN MENU.

Hardware Hookup

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during handling. Doing so can crack the screen and damage the touchpanel.
The TPS-1700 touchpanel has rubber pads on the underside of its base so that it can rest on a horizontal surface. The only connection necessary is made to the 6-pin RJ-11 connector mounted in the bottom of the unit base. The Crestron CN-RJ11 4 Wire to RJ11 Converter and a 12-foot interface cable are supplied to convert a 4-pin Cresnet connection on the control system to the 6-pin connection in the touchpanel.
The following figure shows the pinout for the 6-pin RJ-11

Recommended Touchpanel Cleaning

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the surface that may detrimentally affect image quality.
For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Surrounding plastic enclosure may not provide a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture beneath panels.

Programming Software

Have a comment about Crestron software?
Direct software related suggestions and/or complaints to Crestron via email (software@crestron.com). Do not forward any queries to this address. Instead refer to “Further Inquiries” on page 26 for assistance.
Setup is easy thanks to Crestron’s Windows-based programming software. The Crestron Application Builder™ (Appbuilder) creates a complete project, with no special programming required. Crestron Appbuilder completes all necessary programming for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. Once Crestron Appbuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program logic can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron development tools (i.e., SIMPL™ Windows
and VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e)
software packages).
The program output of Crestron Appbuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros. Therefore, extending the capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron AppBuilder and SIMPL Windows are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. Crestron AppBuilder is easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much faster for all programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and flexibility that SIMPL Windows does. Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.
Crestron Appbuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can then be used by Crestron Appbuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with the Crestron AppBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:
Application Builder version 1.1.6 or later. Requires SIMPL Windows.
SIMPL Windows version 2.02.11 or later with library update file.
Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1.
Crestron Database version 15.7.5 or later. Required by SIMPL Windows.
VisionTools Pro-e version 2.4.1.6 or later. Used for graphical touchscreen
design.
NOTE: The TPS-1700 touchpanel is supplied with 10 blank pushbuttons. Custom­engraved keys can be obtained by using the Crestron Engraver software. Version
1.1.1.6 or later is available from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the
Crestron website (www.crestron.com
).
Digital, analog and serial join numbers are a common thread between VT Pro-e and SIMPL Windows. These numbers define how the objects on a touchpanel page of a VT Pro-e project interface to the outside world, specifically the Cresnet system as defined in the SIMPL Windows program. There are digital join numbers that carry out some predetermined function (a logical high or low); analog join numbers for displaying incremental values, sliders, gauges and bar graphs; and serial join numbers that allow for the display of variable text and transmission/reception of serial commands from other manufacturers. Unjoined objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions.

Programming with Crestron AppBuilder

The easiest method of
rogramming, but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows.
Crestron AppBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and functionality. Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all touchpanel projects and control system logic.
Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, and the Crestron Database. Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems. 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 Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows
®
environment.
PRO2 System View
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a TPS-1700.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane.
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree (refer to graphic below). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications ports.

To incorporate a TPS-1700 into the system, drag the TPS-1700 from the Touchpanels | Touchpanels (Cresnet) folder of the Device Library and drop it in System Views. The PRO2 system tree displays the touchpanel in Slot 9, with a default NET ID of 03 as shown in the following illustration.
NOTE: The first touchpanel in a system is preset with a NET ID of 03, when its symbol is dragged into the upper pane of System Views. Additional touchpanels are assigned different NET ID numbers as they are added.
C2Net Device, Slot 9

Setting the Net ID in Device Settings

Double-click the TPS-1700 icon to open the “Device Settings” window. This window displays the TPS-1700 dervice information. If necessary, select the NET ID tab to change the touchpanel NET ID, as shown in the following figure.
Touchpanel “Device Settings” Window
NOTE: SIMPL Windows automatically changes NET ID values of a device added to a program if a duplicate device or a device with the same default NET ID already exists in the program. Always ensure that the hardware and software settings of the NET ID match. For NET ID hardware setting details, refer to “Select Interface” on page 7.

TPS-1700 Symbol in Programming Manager

Programming Manager is where programmers “program” a Creston control system by assigning signals to symbols. The graphic on the next page shows the TPS-1700 symbol in the SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager.
Detail View of the TPS-1700 in SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager
Signal Types
Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there will be an analog signal.
In SIMPL Windows, the signal types are color-coded as follows:
Digital = Blue
Analog = Red
Serial = Black
Other = Green
NOTE: “Other” signals are a combination of the three basic types (e.g. many
symbols accept either analog or serial signals where the combination is shown as a green signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is highlighted.
For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide. It may be downloaded from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Software section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com)
Digital Signals
.
A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low, recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive.)
Operations Guide - DOC. 6117 Isys™ Wired 5.7 Inch Tabletop Touchpanel: TPS-1700 13
Isys™ Wired 5.7 Inch Tabletop Touchpanel Crestron TPS-1700
Analog Signals
Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values ranging from 0 to 65535 (2 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 to which it points.
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.

An example program for the TPS-1700 is available from the Crestron FTP site (ftp://ftp.crestron.com). Select the Examples folder and search for TPS-1700.ZIP that contains the example program, associated files and a README.TXT file that describes the program.

Programming with VisionTools™ Pro-e

Multi-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
VT Pro-e, a design and programming Windows-based software, permits the creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and three­dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each TPS-1700 touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system via join numbers. Unjoined objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions. The completed and compiled project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash PROM via the File | Upload Project command. The touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control system or panel except during reprogramming. VT Pro-e also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers rather than for physical touchpanels.
For additional software information, refer to the help file provided with the software. The latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com)
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique involving the TPS-1700 is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object (i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to the MULT-MOD.ZIP file. It is available from the Crestron FTP site <ftp://ftp.crestron.com> VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high­performance capabilities of multi-mode objects.

NOTE: A VT Pro-e sample project, TPS-1700.VTP, is available from the Downloads page (VTPRO-E Library) of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). This project provides guides for panel designers so that they can line up objects with the 10 “quick” pushbuttons that flank the LCD display. New users are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
NOTE: A user may not want the LCD display to come on after a pushbutton is pressed when the unit is in Standby mode. The Startup Preference option allows the user to select whether the touchpanel’s display comes on or stays off after a pushbutton is pressed. For more information, refer to “Startup Preference” on page 8.

Reserved Join Numbers

A reserved join number is a feature of the software that enables a designer to create a button that completes a predetermined function. The tables on the next page provide lists of reserved join numbers available within the software.
NOTE: Many touchpanel configuration “shortcuts” are available via the software. A button can be created on a page that either calls up the Preferences Menu, adjusts brightness, etc., via reserved join numbers.

MultiByte International Characters

Most languages use a single byte of 8 bits to represent a character, e.g. English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual 8 bits to specify a character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2 example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate issues with multibyte characters - static text on buttons and indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in either case.
Static text on a button, entered in the standard way in VTPro-e, always works under Windows 98. Under Windows XP, you must use VTPro-e 3.0 or later.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VTPro-e and the actual string to be displayed is entered in SIMPL Windows. You must use VTPro-e 3.0 or later to guarantee that the full set of characters in the font is stored on the touchpanel. You must use SIMPL Windows 2.03.11 or later to enter Chinese characters directly. As of this publication date, only completely single byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese character interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers in separate strings. Crestron is scheduling time to fix this in the near future and the release notes for SIMPL Windows will mention it.
Of course, you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the string, but it is not dynamic.

Uploading and Upgrading

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects to the system and touchpanel after their development. However, there are times when the files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE: Currently, the Crestron Viewport is only available as a pull-down command from SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e (Tools | Viewport). The Viewport utility accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading programs and projects.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program, VT Pro-e project or upgrade the firmware of the TPS-1700 touchpanel. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.

Communication Settings

Connection to the TPS-1700 touchpanel is via a 6-pin RJ-11 connector in the base of the unit. Therefore, uploading or upgrading must be accomplished through a control system. The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). Refer to the figure on the next page for a typical connection diagram when uploading files.
