Installing the AXB-SLD

To install the AXB-SLD:

Position the AXB-SLD in the location where it will be used.

Set the AXlink device number with the DEVICE DIP switch on the

front panel, according to the Axcess program for the system (refer to

Setting the DIP Switch).

Connect the 5-pin projector control cable, labeled Projector on the

rear panel of the AXB-SLD to the control cable input on the slide

projector. FIG. 2 shows the 5-pin projector control cable plug

FIG. 2 Projector control cable plug

Plug the slide projector's power cord into the power outlet on the rear

panel of the AXB-SLD.

Note: The mechanical power switch on the projector must be set for lamp

and power on.

Plug the AXB-SLD's AC cord into a wall outlet.

Use the 4-pin AXlink connector to connect the AXB-SLD to the

Axcess Central Controller. For wiring information, refer to FIG. 1.

Programming

The AXB-SLD is controlled with channel setting commands. Refer to the

Axcess Programming Guide for additional programming information.

Channel Setting Commands

Use the channel setting commands listed in the following table to control

the AXB-SLD.

Channel Setting Commands

Channel

Function

While channel is on, performs slide forward action

While channel is on, performs slide reverse action

While channel is on, performs slide focus action

While channel is on, power on/off relay is energized

To use the channel setting commands, you must assign a button push to

each of the five channel settings. The following example describes using

the channel setting commands.

Example Axcess program

An example of Axcess programming code to control the AXB-SLD via a

touch panel is shown below.

In the

DEFINE_DEVICE

section of the program, define the touch panel

(device 128 for this example) and the AXB-SLD (device 96 in this example

- set with the DEVICE DIP switch):

TP=128 (*Touch Panel*)

SLD=96 (*AXB-SLD*)

In the

section of the Axcess program (beneath the

DEFINE_PROGRAM

MSG

' Send_Command), enter:

SYSTEM_CALL 'SLD1'(SLD,TP,1,2,3,4,5,0,0)

Compile and save the program. That's all the code you need to control the

AXB-SLD. Since this example uses a touch panel, you must also create a

touch panel page with a minimum of five buttons - one button for each

Channel Setting Command (forward, reverse, focus in, focus out, and

power). You can create touch panel pages either on the touch panel itself,

or you can use the TPDesign3 Touch Panel Design software program to

design the page(s) and download them into the panel. For detailed

information on creating touch panel pages and buttons, refer to the

TPDesign3 Touch Panel Design Program Instruction Manual.

Setting up a touch panel page for the AXB-SLD

To set up an AXB-SLD touch panel page:

Create a new page and set the page properties as desired.

Create a new button, and set the button properties:

a. Enter button text: "Forward"

Set the Button Type to General

Set the Button Options to Channel

d. Set the Channel properties to DEV = 1, CHAN = 1

e. Set the Variable Text properties to DEV = 1, CHAN = 1

Set the Channel Off and Channel On colors to indicate button

feedback as desired

To create the next button ("Reverse"), repeat step two. There are only

a couple of differences between the buttons on this page: the button

text, and the channel assignment. The channel assignment is directly

related to the Channel Setting Commands listed in Figure 8. Enter

"Reverse" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 2

To create the next button ("Focus In"), repeat step two. Enter "Focus

In" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 3

To create the next button ("Focus Out"), repeat step two. Enter

"Focus Out" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 4

To create the next button ("Power"), repeat step two. Enter "Power"

as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 5

Create a page flip button "MAIN", and set the page flip to the MAIN

page.

You're almost done! The only problem with the program as it is

shown above is that the Power button does not toggle the power to

the AXB-SLD. To make the Power button toggle On/Off each time it is

pressed, the following modification to the Axcess code is needed:

Add the following code, before the System_Call:

PUSH[TP,1]

(*add*)

PUSH[TP,2]

(*add*)

PUSH[TP,3]

(*add*)

PUSH[TP,4]

(*add*)

ON[SLD,5]

(*add*)

SYSTEM_CALL 'SLD1'(SLD,TP,1,2,3,4,5,0,0)

this line as it is*)

Re-compile the program and test all functions. The Power button

should now toggle On/Off when pressed.
