2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2 In Program Manager, drag the C2I-IO8 symbol from Program View to Detail View.
Crestron AV2 & PRO2 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Example 1 (recommended): The signal is driven low or left undefined. When goes low, Versiport 1 is at +5V. When goes high, Versiport 1 is shorted to ground. Example 2 (not recommended): The signal is driven high. When goes low, Versiport 1 is floating. When goes high, Versiport 1 is shorted to ground.
2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2 Example 6: A voltage source is placed on Versiport 1 and is set to 10 via an Analog Initialize symbol. The value of will not be propagated until it changes by at least 10. If the current value is 500, then a new value will not be reported until it changes to 510 or 490. Slot 7: C2I-RY8 The C2I-RY8 provides eight isolated relays for controlling low voltage contact closure devices such as drapes, screens and lifts.
Crestron AV2 & PRO2 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System onto the existing control system in System Views, and click Yes when prompted to confirm the replacement. If the program contains SIMPL+ or User modules, the conversion might generate error messages. This is because modules and programs often contain symbols with “ambiguous” signals. For example, the inputs of the Serial to Analog symbol can be defined as either analog or serial.
2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2 “Module Header Information” Window After you convert each module in a program, you can convert the program as described previously: drag the AV2/PRO2 onto the existing control system in System Views and click Yes to confirm the replacement.
