During operation, panel operators will press navigation buttons, global navigation buttons, or
category buttons to jump to other pages.
Tally (GPIO) Section
Below the tree window is the tally section of the configuration page.
It has two sections: inputs and outputs. By clicking on one of the input or output buttons, you
can configure that input or output. (These buttons represent the DB25 connector at the rear.)
See GPIO on page 197.
Single-Destination Mode
Single-destination mode (a.k.a. “single-bus” or “button-per-source” mode) can be emulated in
either X-Y mode or MD mode.
The simplest form presents a group of “quick source” buttons. If you configure a default destina-
tion in the panel options, all the quick sources could be taken to a (single) default destination
with no need for destination selection.
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices. You can configure a panel
to have from 8 to 512 MD destinations in increments of 8 destinations. Not all of those need be
used. The limit to the number of MD devices is a panel option.
A configurer follows these guidelines to configure MD devices:
1 Click any button in the panel image. In the button definition section, choose ‘Selection’ from
the drop-down list. A ‘Display Index’ field and an ‘Edit Multi-Dest Devices’ button appear in
the button definition section.
Use the ‘Display Index’ field to assign a unique number to the button. When the panel is in
MD mode, the display index will represent one of the MD devices. Which MD device is sub-
ject to the panel operator’s scrolling the list of MD devices.
(The display index for the button also represents a virtual level when the panel is in X-Y
mode.)
