It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces (i. e. , windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows environment. This section explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that includes the C2COM-2/3. It also gives descriptions of parameters and features of the selected control and serial devices and drivers. Configuration Manager is where programmers "build" a Crestron control system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane. PRO2 System View The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree. This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications ports. Expanded PRO2 System Tree C2Y Card Slot in Configuration Manager The C2Y Card Slots 01-03 can hold a C2COM-2/3. Once a C2COM-2/3 is configured in a C2Y Card Slot, the slot allows serial communication using RS232/422/485 between a serial device and the PRO2 control system. In Configuration Manager, drag the C2COM-2/3 from the Plug-in Control Cards | Cards (2-Series Y Bus) folder of the Device Library and drop it on the C2Y Card Slot (01) in System Views. The PRO2 displays the C2COM-2/3 serial driver in slot 01. The PRO2 system tree displays the C2COM-2/3 in Slot 1. Click + to expand the tree so you can view the ports of the C2COM-2/3.
