Active CNX

Introduction

The ActiveCNX control can be thought of as a touchpanel symbol in SIMPL™

Windows. It can send and receive the three data types: digital, analog, and serial

data. These inputs go into the control system and appear to the control system as an

“e-control PC Interface” symbol. From that point, the user programs the SIMPL

logic as if the system was a real touchpanel.

When a signal changes on the inputs of the “e-control PC Interface”, a message is

sent to the ActiveCNX control. The control responds by firing an event. There are

three main control events that the user can capture and utilize in a PC program.

• OnDigital

• OnAnalog

• OnSerial

All three events return a join number and their corresponding value. The user’s

program can then interpret this data however it needs to. For example, an incoming

digital signal can be used to enable a button on a screen or could be used to trigger a

non-graphical event such as sending an email.

An important aspect of the control is the fact that it is hidden at runtime. This allows

any readily available visual OCX components to easily attach to the ActiveCNX

control component to provide a custom GUI. For example, the digital control signals

can be “attached” to a simple windows button or some type of elaborate image

button OCX that the user downloads from the Web.

The ActiveCNX control can also be used to communicate directly to any CEN

device. In this configuration, the signals map directly to the device instead of signal

number inputs to the SIMPL program. For example, with the CENIO to close relay 7

simply send a “enabled” signal to join 7.

Step by Step Tutorial

The ActiveCNX control can be used in Visual Basic or any other visual development

environment that supports OCX controls. The following example shows how this

control is used in Visual Basic. To add ActiveCNX to the development environment

right click in the components window and select Components or go to Project |

Components. A dialog similar to the one after this paragraph appears.
