2 Unison Paradigm Touchscreen User Manual
Overview
Power and Data Connections
Paradigm Wall Mount and Rack Mount Touchscreen stations are designed to connect to
the Paradigm Control system using either LinkConnect or NetConnect for power and data.
Note:
A Paradigm Portable Touchscreen is designed to connect to the Paradigm Control system
using only Portable LinkConnect; a Unison Heritage Portable Connector (UH1RS) station
wired using LinkConnect is required.
LinkConnect
LinkConnect uses Echelon® LonTalk® with LinkPower to connect between the Paradigm
Touchscreen and the Paradigm Architectural Control Processor.
The Paradigm Wall Mount Touchscreen, when connected over LinkConnect, utilizes three
watts of power at 24 Vdc.
Reference the related Touchscreen installation guide for details of installation and setup.
NetConnect
NetConnect uses Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) communications to connect between
the Paradigm Touchscreen and the host Paradigm rack enclosure.
Reference the related Touchscreen installation guide for details of installation, wiring
requirements and setup.
The ground connection to the Wall Mount and Rack Mount Touchscreen is
provided through the RJ11 connection, regardless of the data connection type,
LinkConnect or NetConnect.

ControlDesigner Software
Paradigm ControlDesigner software is used to create graphical layouts and page
navigation for Unison Paradigm Touchscreen stations. These graphical layouts and page
navigations are also known as the Touchscreen configuration file.
Among the many other tools provided in ControlDesigner software, a user is provided the
ability to add custom images to Touchscreen controls such as page backgrounds and
button states.
The Paradigm Touchscreen supports configuration files that are uploaded from the
connected Paradigm Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) or loaded directly to the
Touchscreen using removable media, such as a USB key or Secure Digital (SD) card.
Image Resources
Multiple unique page background images can be used in a single Paradigm Touchscreen
configuration. To reduce the configuration file size and amount of data the Touchscreen
must process, all background images should be resized to the native resolution of the
Touchscreen, 800 x 480 pixels, or smaller.
Other control object states may also have unique images. Image resources should be sized
as small as possible for the application they are to be used.
Note:
Overview 5
For best results, an image that is used more than one time in a Touchscreen
configuration should be added to the theme using Paradigm ThemeDesigner
software. Adding the image to the theme reduces the configuration file size,
thereby reducing the file transfer time and storage space required on the
Touchscreen. Contact ETC Technical Services for assistance.
Image Format
ControlDesigner software supports the following image formats for use on page
backgrounds and button states:
• Portable Network Graphic (.png).
• Graphical Interchange Format (.gif).
• JPEG Image File (.jpg). Excluding compressed .jpg files as they will not display on the
Paradigm Touchscreen.
• X11 Pixmap Graphic (.xpm)
Note:
ETC recommends that all images used in a configuration file for the Paradigm
Touchscreen be a .png file format as it supports transparency, reduces the file
size, and maintains the best performance of the Touchscreen.
Configuration files and even specific image resources that are too large will not
load onto the Touchscreen.
Sound Resources
Paradigm Portable Touchscreen stations are equipped with an integrated speaker; a
standard hardware feature. In ControlDesigner software, sounds (audio) can be associated
to a control’s skin as to provide audible feedback, as indication of a control’s state change.
Sound File Format
The Paradigm Touchscreen station uses Waveform Audio File Format (.wav) for audio
playback. Support is provided for either 8-bit or 16-bit stereo formatted .wav files with a
sample rate of 8 kHz, 11 kHz, 22kHz, or 44kHz.
6 Unison Paradigm Touchscreen User Manual
Touchscreen Setup Menu
How a Touchscreen behaves when it is powered depends on two things:
1 Is a ControlDesigner configuration file loaded onto the Touchscreen?
2 Is the Touchscreen bound/connected with the P-ACP?
When both of these are true, and the Touchscreen is powered, the configuration will load
to the home page of the selected configuration.
On initial power-up, with no ControlDesigner configuration installed or when the
Touchscreen is not bound/connected to a processor, the Touchscreen displays the default
splash page; which includes the ETC logo and two buttons; [Setup] and [Service Pin].
Pressing the [Setup] button accesses the Setup Menu where setup options and technical
information are displayed. Pressing the [Service Pin] button issues a binding request to
the Paradigm Architectural Control Processor over the control network. When the
Touchscreen is bound/connected to a processor, a configuration file will begin to load.
Touchscreen Setup Menu 7
Setup Menu
Pressing the [Setup] button on the default page displays the About tab of the Touchscreen
setup menu. Alternatively, you can access the setup menu by pressing the “Mode” pin on
the Touchscreen I/O panel. See “Touchscreen Inputs, Outputs and Indicators” on page 4.
Each tab of the setup menu displays a footer of buttons including [Service Pin], [Ok] and
[Cancel].
About tab
Note:
The About tab displays read-only information pertaining to the Touchscreen including;
• MAC Address: a unique identifier assigned to the Touchscreen by ETC for
identification over the Paradigm network.
• IP Address: the current network IP address assigned to the Touchscreen. This number
can be modified from the Network tab.
• Neuron Id: a station specific unique hardware address that is permanent to the
Touchscreen. This ID is used by the Paradigm Architectural Control Processor to bind/
associate (bind) stations within the LightDesigner configuration.
• Bootloader: the bootloader software version.
• Firmware: the firmware version loaded onto the Touchscreen. Firmware can be
updated, reference System tab, page 19 for instructions.
The firmware version in the Touchscreen must be compatible with the firmware
version in the Paradigm Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) for the two
devices to communicate.
• Memory Usage: a Paradigm Touchscreen has 128 megabytes (Mb) of memory
available for configuration storage. The “Memory Usage” section displays the “Total”
memory available, the memory “Used” and the available memory that is “Free” for use.
• Boot Reason: the last action that caused the Touchscreen to boot. Reasons for reboot
could be due to a [Reset] button press on the Touchscreen I/O panel, power loss, etc.
8 Unison Paradigm Touchscreen User Manual
• Watchdog: displays the status of the Watchdog tool.
Note:
Screen tab
Watchdog is a service that monitors Touchscreen activity and will automatically
reboot the device in the event it would suffer a crash or lockup. Watchdog should
be “enabled” unless instructed otherwise by ETC Technical Services.
Note:
The “Screen” tab provides user settings for the Touchscreen including:
• Backlight Level: a level bar is provided to set the relative brightness of the
Touchscreen backlight. By default, the level is set to full.
When the light sensor is “On”, the backlight level sets the maximum level of
brightness.
• Backlight Timeout: sets the length of inactivity time before the backlight fades to its
backlight timeout level. This is separate from any configuration related Inactivity
Timeout settings.
• Backlight Timeout “Level”: the intensity level the backlight will fade to when its
“Backlight Timeout” has been reached. This level can be set to either “Off” or “Dim”.
• Light Sensor: allows the Touchscreen to determine an appropriate Backlight Level
based on ambient light in the space. The internal light sensor measures the ambient
light and adjusts the backlight proportionally based on the established backlight level
settings. By default, the light sensor is “Off”.
• Proximity Sensor: when enabled (“On” which is default), proximity allows the
Touchscreen to detect a user’s presence as he/she approaches the Touchscreen for
use. When proximity is detected, the Touchscreen automatically turns on the backlight
and displays the inactivity page that was configured in ControlDesigner. Proximity is
only supported on the Paradigm Wallmount Touchscreen.
• The proximity sensor uses active IR to determine proximity to the Touchscreen.
The sensor has a sensing distance of approximately one foot with a field angle of
15 degrees.
Touchscreen Setup Menu 9
• If the sensor registers any moving or stationary objects within this range, it will
“wake” the station from its sleeping state and reset the backlight timeout and the
station inactivity timer as set in ControlDesigner.
Note:
Be aware of stationary objects (such as rack doors) that remain within the sensing
range as it may interfere with the function of the sensor. In these applications, it is
best practice to disable the Proximity Sensor.
The proximity sensor is looking for reflected IR; therefore any IR devices (such as
alarms or listening assistance systems) within a range of the proximity sensor may
prevent the system from sleeping or displaying an inactivity page.
Calibrate Touchscreen
The “Screen” tab provides a [Calibrate Touchscreen] button that will launch the
calibration display. This display is provided as a tool for recalibration of the Touchscreen.
Calibration may be required if presses on the Touchscreen are recognized in an area other
than where the screen was pressed.
Note:
To calibrate the Touchscreen, simply touch as close to the center of the “+” symbol as it is
displayed. The “+” symbol will move to five separate coordinates on the touchscreen to
complete the calibration.
Alternatively, press and hold the [Mode] button (located on the I/O panel of the
Touchscreen) for four seconds to launch the calibration display.
When all five coordinates have been calibrated, press [Close] to return to the previously
displayed page. If you are unsatisfied with the calibration results, press [Recalibrate] to
start the calibration again or press [Clear] to clear your settings.
