Crystal Vision Introduction

1 Introduction

The GPI36 Bi-directional GPI Controller allows the Statesman system to monitor and

control GPIs. It allows Statesman to interface to equipment that is not 'Statesman enabled'

or which has no serial control interface.

A GPI36 module has 36 GPI lines, each of which may be configured as either a GPI input

or a GPI output.

Each GPI connection may be tested individually by Statesman and an alarm or warning

raised. The following events will be selectable as alarm/warning triggers:

•Input is inactive

•Connection test detects open circuit on input

•Output error

The GPI36 is a 100mm x 266mm module, which fits in the all standard frames and can be

integrated with any boards from the company’s full product range. It uses the RM17 and

RM37 single height rear connectors.

The GPI36 Bi-directional GPI Controller

Card edge monitoring is provided to display the state of any selected GPI line.

Note: The GPI36 module is intended to be used only with the Statesman system.

Non-volatile storage is provided to return settings to their previous state when it is

powered down and back up. A change of setting made less than two seconds before the

power is lost may not be restored.

Example applications

A GPI line may be configured as either an input or an output using Statesman control.

Bi-directional GPI line configured as an I/P

Note: A low is detected at voltages below 0.8V, and a high is detected at voltages above 2.4V.

Voltages between 0.8V and 2.4V may produce either a high or low input indication.

Bi-directional GPI line configured as an O/P

Note: A 500mA +5Volt supply may be found on the remote connectors of the frames in which

the GPI36 may be fitted.

2 Statesman

The Crystal Vision Statesman PC control software is designed to control a range of

Crystal Vision modules via serial control from a PC. The GPI36 is used with Statesman

for control and see-at-a glance monitoring of all 36 GPI lines.

The main Statesman application communicates with each module in a frame through an

active control panel with or without an LCD display. Statesman will not be able to detect

modules used in a frame with only a passive front panel.

2.1 Installing Statesman

Minimum pre-requisites:

•A PC running either Windows 2000 or Windows XP is recommended

•A parallel port dongle for Statesman PCs with attached Crystal Vision frames

•An RS422 serial connection from the host PC to the Control/422 RJ45 or

Remote/RMT 2 connector on Crystal Vision frames

•An active or Statesman enabled control panel MUST be fitted to the frame with

version 1.63 or above firmware – if it is an Indigo frame the firmware must be

V1.04 or above

•An optional RS422 to RS232 converter if the PC has no RS422 ports

Installing Statesman

•Refer to the readme and/or help file on the CD before proceeding

•To view all application windows, set graphics resolution to at least 1024 x 768

•Remove any previous version of the Statesman software using the Add/Remove

Programs application in the Windows Control Panel

•Ensure that the Statesman dongle is fitted to the parallel port of the host PC

•Insert the Statesman CD and the installation should start immediately – if it

does not, run the setup.exe file on the CD

•Obey any installation program prompts and restart the PC when prompted

Running Statesman for the first time

The Statesman PC Control System may be run from the Crystal Vision programs folder

via the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Crystal Vision.exe file in the installed

program directory.

When the program runs it will require licence information and an administrator name and

password. It will also need to know which computer port is being used to connect to a

Crystal Vision frame(s).

Note: For further details of Statesman configuration please refer to the Statesman manual.

2.2 Statesman operation

Once Statesman is configured it should automatically detect any statesman compatible

modules in the connected frame or frames and display them in the main application left

hand explorer-style window.

Open any frame by clicking on the ‘+’ sign or by double clicking on a frame. Installed

modules should be shown with module icons. Frame and module icons can be named as

desired by right-clicking or using the edit menu and choosing rename.

To aid user recognition of module and frame status quickly, the following colour and size

coding is used:

•A module is shown present by full colour and absent by greyed colour

•A module is shown open by large icon size and closed by small icon

•A module is the source of an active alarm if red and not alarmed if green

Double-clicking on a module will enable the display of the main application menus.

Statesman main application window

The two large control panes shown in the upper and lower halves of the window may

display different menus for the same card, or controls for different cards. Click on the

horizontal button-bar between the two panes to close the lower plane or drag the button to

vary the size of the panes.

Note: For further details of Statesman configuration and operation please refer to the Statesman

manual.

Controlling GPIs

There are six GPI tabs each of which allows six of the 36 GPI lines to be configured and

controlled. The available controls and indicators are:

•Create and edit a name for each GPI line

•Set connection type

•Set active level

•OP error, IP active and No connection status indicators

Configuration and control for GPI lines 1 to 6

Naming GPIs

The contents of the name field will be reflected on all PCs running Statesman that view

this card, and when alarms are generated by GPI36 modules in the network.

To change or edit a name, type within the desired name field. Press the F11 key to save

the changes.

Setting the connection type

There is a five-button radio group that sets type of connection. The available selections

are:

•IP conn - input with connection checking enabled

•Input - input with connection checking disabled

•Off - the connection will not be driven. The LEDs will remain grey, and the

active level locked

•OP immd - the connection is an output, level changes will be output as soon as

they are selected

•OP Salvo - the connection is an output, changes will be held pending until a

salvo command

Input testing

A GPI line configured as an input, which is normally connected to a semiconductor

output driver, may be tested to determine if the input is open circuit (disconnected).

Note: Input testing will not work with a non-semiconductor input such as a simple hardware

switch.

Setting the GPI active level

There is a two-button control that sets the active level of the GPI connection. When the

connection is configured as an output in salvo mode the button will indicate a pending

condition with a change in colour to dull red.

Using Salvos

A Salvo consists of a number of 'primed' output state changes that are all changed when

the Salvo button is pressed. To set one or more GPI lines using a Salvo proceed as

follows:

•Prime one or more GPI lines for Salvo operation by checking 'OP Salvo'

•Select the required output state – the button will change to dark red

•Press the Salvo button – the dark red selections change to bright red and the

outputs change state

Status indicators

The ‘OP Error’ LED will illuminate red if the connection is set as an output and the

setting conflicts with the actual state - the connection is low when set high, or high when

set low. Otherwise it will be grey.

The ‘IP Active’ LED will illuminate yellow if the connection is set as an input and the

actual state matches the active state set. Otherwise it will be grey.

The ‘No connection’ LED will illuminate red if connection checking is enabled and the

check indicates an open circuit. Otherwise it will be grey.

Note: Input testing will not work with a non-semiconductor input such as a simple hardware

switch.

System monitoring

The Monitor tab provides access to the following:

•Input active status for each GPI line

•Output error status for each GPI line

•Connection status for each GPI line configured as an input with the connection

test enabled

GPI and error settings

The Monitor tab allows all the LEDs associated with all the GPI connections to be seen at

once. The colours and functions of the LEDs are identical to those for the individual

control panels.
