User manual CRESTRON ACTIVE CNX

[. . . ] These inputs go into the control system and appear to the control system as an "e-control PC Interface" symbol. From that point, the user programs the SIMPL logic as if the system was a real touchpanel. When a signal changes on the inputs of the "e-control PC Interface", a message is sent to the ActiveCNX control. There are three main control events that the user can capture and utilize in a PC program. [. . . ] Dynamic - This property is only used with CEN devices, therefore this property is ignored if used with the CNMSX control system. If this value is set to TRUE, a dynamic entry is added into the device's IP ID table. Otherwise, to get feedback to the application, a static entry must be manually added to the IP table in the CEN device (refer to the latest revision of the specific CEN documentation). There is only one connection per ActiveCNX Control so if connect is called the second time Disconnect() is automatically called and Connect() is issued again with the new properties. For multiple connections per application, simply drop multiple ActiveCNX controls on the form. Methods The general procedure for using the components methods are to first call Connect() to start the control session and when complete call Disconnect(). Between Connect() and Disconnect() any combination of the sending and receiving the three data types can be used. At anytime during development if the programmer needs to see Introduction & Tutorial - DOC. 5777A Active CNX · 3 Software Crestron Active CNX methods, properties, or events available for the ActiveCNX they can bring up the "Object Browser" in Visual Basic. The Object browser list for the ActiveCNX control is shown below. Object Browser List Events OnDigital OnAnalog OnSerial OnError OnConnect OnDisconnect The ActiveCNX control also triggers events used for feedback and for handling errors. In "design mode" the user can select the ActiveX component from the combo box on the left then select which event to capture. Once the event is selected, it is entered into the program as a "sub procedure". From this point, the programmer can handle the signal however they choose. For example, a digital "on" could signal another component to send a specific email. For example if a temperature sensor value on the Cresnet network changes and the signal is fed into the "Virtual Touch Panel" symbol the OnAnalog event is fired with its join number and the analog value (Long) as parameters. The OnConnect() event is only fired if the connection is successful after calling the Connect() method. If Connect() fails for some reason the type and description is sent to the OnError() event. The OnDisconnect() event is only fired if there is a successful disconnection. 4 · Active CNX Introduction & Tutorial - DOC. 5777A Crestron Active CNX Software Errors When an error occurs the OnError() event is triggered with one of the following parameters and a description string.
