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: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the
+24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y
conductor and the Z conductor.

b
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.

Do not forward any queries to this

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.

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.

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.

Device Extenders
Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll
Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels.
Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on and off line during polling by the control
system. Sleep/Wake Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For
additional information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the
Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included
with SIMPL Windows.
Example Program
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.
