Crestron e-control Mail SW-MAIL
55 •• Demos Installation & Reference Guide — Doc. 5798
• Choosing the “Invite” message (ID=1 in the eMail_Msg table) provides the
default address for Thomas Jefferson (ID=2 in the eMail_Addr table).
• Choosing the “Century” message (ID=2 in the eMail_Msg table) provides
no default address.
• Choosing any other message from the eMail_Msg table provides the default
address for the system manager (ID=0 in the eMail_Addr table).
Demo 2 SIMPL Windows Program
Two items need to be added to the control system in the Configuration Manager in
SIMPL Windows. From the Control Systems folder in the Device Library select
CNMSX-PRO; and also add a two-way serial driver to a COM port on the
CNXCOM-6 board from the Serial Drivers (General) folder (or add a Virtual
Communication Port from the Ethernet Control Modules folder and a driver as
above).
In the Programming Manager, the other blocks are added to the system from the
Logic Symbols folder in the Symbol Library: Interlock and Set/Reset Latch are
selected from the Memory sub-folder. The two Numeric Keypads and two Analog
Buffers are selected from the Analog Operations sub-folder. Send e-Mail is selected
from the System Control sub-folder.
Demo 2 VT Pro-e Program
Page 2: Sending e-mail via database lookup: The first page of demo 2 allows
the user to select either TCP/IP or serial setup instructions. Additional pages provide
brief setup instructions for the control system and server for either TCP/IP or serial
(depending on choice from first page). (These instructions are detailed in
“Communications Setup,” beginning on page 15, herein.) Either path leads to the
same demo page.
NOTE: Before proceeding to the actual demo page, start the server protocol by issuing the
Server | Start command.
Page 2-1: Lookup gauges and message display: The final page of the VT
Pro-e program is the actual demo screen. The arrow buttons in areas 1 and 2 are used
to increase or decrease the message and recipient ID numbers. Use the Lookup
button to update the To:, Subj:, and text (unmarked) fields with the information in
the database tables. When the desired data appears in the fields, use the Send Now
button to send the e-mail. Use the Clear Names button to eliminate any names from
the To: field. Use the Clear All button to empty all fields.
Demo 3: Interactive Scrollers
This example demonstrates use of two “scrollers,” signal blocks which service
interactive scrolling lists on the touchscreen, representing views into message and
recipient database tables. Picking (touching) an item on one of these lists triggers a
database lookup (similar to the lookup signals used directly in Demo 2). An
additional signal, SendNow, is required to actually send the message so constructed.
Demo 3 illustrates the setup of the DBMScoller macros, with their many inputs and
outputs connected to appropriate buttons and indirect text fields on the Touchpanel
symbol; and the setup of the Send e-Mail symbol as well. Refer to the block diagram
on the next page for an overall graphical representation of this example. Note that
both the DBMScoller macros and the Send e-Mail symbol have rx and tx streams
that must be connected to the (virtual) COM port symbol.
