Compiling and Uploading a D3 Pro Program to the Control System After you have completed your D3 Pro lighting system program, you must first compile the program and then upload it to the PAC2. Click the Build System button to generate the touchpanel projects and control system logic program. Here D3 Pro will begin by generating any touchpanel projects that have not already been compiled, and the Touchpanel Build Status pane will display information about the project, as in Programming View. However, D3 Pro will not automatically open the VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) project. After all the touchpanel projects are created, D3 Pro will generate the PAC2 logic program. A progress bar will display information about the program as it is created and compiled. Click Continue to finish the compile operation and upload the system. The program will be saved as an SMW file in the Program subfolder, and will contain all the logic that enables communication between the control system, interfaces, controlled devices and other hardware. Operations Guide ­ Doc. 5941 Professional Automation Computer: PAC2 · 23 Professional Automation Computer Crestron PAC2 If any errors are generated during programming, they will be displayed in the Messages field. Once you have compiled the program files, you are ready to upload them to the control system and user interfaces: 1. Click the Upload System button to poll the network and display the list of target devices. If the control system and interfaces have been detected on the network (and thus can receive files) they will be checked off. If a project has not yet been compiled, or else if it has been modified, check Automatically compile modified files to recompile the project before upload. 2. You can double-click any device in the upload list to view or change its connection settings. For example, if the PC is connected to the PAC2 via TCP/IP, then you would select TCP/IP as the connection type and enter the IP address of the PAC2. With touchpanels, various connection types are possible. If the panel is connected to the PAC2, specify the type of connection between the PC and the PAC2: Serial or TCP/IP. 24 · Professional Automation Computer: PAC2 Operations Guide ­ Doc. 5941 Crestron PAC2 Professional Automation Computer With TCP/IP, type the IP address of the PAC2. If the panel is connected directly to a COM port on the PC, select Serial as the connection type and check Send directly to touchpanel. To communicate directly to an Ethernet touchpanel, select TCP/IP as the connection type, enter the IP address of the panel (not the PAC2) and select Send directly to touchpanel. If the control system already has a program installed in memory, you will be prompted to save that program to disc. To save the program, click Yes and browse to the directory where you want to save the SPZ file. As files are transferred, first to the control system and then to touchpanels, D3 Pro will display a progress bar. In applications that do not include wireless panels, D3 Pro will display the progress bar as it uploads each project to every selected touchpanel.
