Interface Module: TPS-4500IMC

Description

Functional Description

The TPS-4500IMC is designed specifically to serve as an interface module for the Crestron TPS-4500 tilt touchpanel. The sleek design of the touchpanel base left little room for all the connectors that define the touchpanel's versatility. Furthermore, since the panel is not a stationary user interface, it is impractical to have an excessive amount of cable connections directly to the touchpanel. As a result, it was necessary to connect the touchpanel to an interface module that could offer additional space for interconnections.

Physical Description

The TPS-4500IMC, shown on the next page, is supplied with every TPS-4500 tilt touchpanel. The module is housed in a black enclosure with silk-screened top panel. A network connector and video input connectors are located on one side of the unit. The opposite side offers a network/video connection to the touchpanel. At the shorter sides of the TPS-4500IMC, the enclosure extends to form feet at a right angle to the side. There are three holes per foot for inserting screws to further stabilize the unit to a mounting surface.

I/O Ports

There are five I/O ports available on the TPS-4500IMC. Refer to the diagram on the next page and the following bulleted items for descriptions of each port.

CAUTION: Except for differential input (balanced) video signal, the six-pin video connector with jumpers should be installed at all times. Refer to "Hardware Hookup" beginning on page 5 for details.
• NET – This four-pin connector is used to connect to other four-

Setup

Network Wiring

NOTE: When making wire connections, refer to the latest revision of the Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL Libraries) of the Crestron website (www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular network run, the length of the run and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the load factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the load factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the load 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
40,000
Where:
R <
L x LF
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 table after this paragraph.
Wire Gauge Values
RESISTANCE (R) WIRE GAUGE
416
618 10 20 15 22 13 24 (Doubled-CAT 5)
NOTE: All network 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.
R = Resistance (refer to table below). L = Length of run (or chain) in feet. LF = Load factor of entire run (or chain).
4 • Interface Module: TPS-4500IMC Operations Guide - DOC. 5890
NOTE: When daisy chaining network units, always twist the ends of the incoming wire and outgoing wire which share a pin on the network connector. After twisting the ends, tin the twisted connection with solder. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up or the tinned end becomes brittle and breaks. After tinning the twisted ends, insert the tinned connection into the network connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three network conductors.

Hardware Hookup

The TPS-4500IMC serves as an interface between the touchpanel and the Cresnet system. Refer to the illustration on the next page for proper connections; apply power last. When making network connections to the CNX Generation control system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to "Network Wiring" on page 4 for details. It is not necessary to make connections to a video source unless the TPS-VID has been installed into the touchpanel and a video window object resides on a page within the uploaded VisionTools™ Pro-e project.

* Connect to a video source only if the TPS-VID expansion card is installed in the touchpanel. The BNC connector and screw terminal mini Phoenix connector is connected in parallel. Possible options are no connection, balance video using twisted pair cable, or unbalanced video using coax cable. Depending on the option, the two jumpers on the NTSC/PAL VIDEO six-pin connector remain attached or are removed.
CAUTION: If there is no video, do not make a connection to this port, but leave connector and jumpers attached to the NTSC/PAL VIDEO six­pin connector on the TPS-4500IMC. Failure to do so may damage the TPS-4500IMC.
Video balance is determined by external connections. Refer to the two diagrams on the next page.
