buttons are activated either sequentially, when one or more of the buttons is defined as
having duration feedback, or simultaneously if no durations are included in the group.
This is an important feature when one wishes to guarantee that a single selection can
activate a number of functions. For example, one can unify the following functions:
draw shades closed, dim lights, and start projector. This ensures that when this
sequence group is activated, all functions of the collective unit are activated together.
Starting from an open page, select (or create) the button that is to activate the group,
right click and select Feedback. In the “Feedback” window, select Duration as the
feedback type, and enter the desired Duration in seconds. In the Button Action area
Joins field, scroll to the desired button joins and click the Add Step button. As each
one is added, “Simulate Button xx” appears in the Sequence Group list. When all the
desired joins have been added, click Close to accept the entries and close the
“Feedback” window. (Refer to the following figure.)
“Feedback” Window
VT Pro-e always generates the proper virtual feedback logic and appends it to the
compiled VT Pro-e file for upload to the panel. However, you must add similar logic to
the control system via SIMPL Windows.
SIMPL Windows Procedures
Momentary Feedback
Momentary feedback is when the button feedback state is active as long as the button is
pressed and inactive when it is not being pressed. Momentary feedback does not
require anything special in the SIMPL Windows program. You simply connect the
signal from the appropriate touchpanel join number to the logic in the program (to the
feedback of the same digital press).
Interlock Feedback
Interlock feedback is when the feedback of only one button in a group may be active at
any one time. Pressing a button causes its feedback to go high and the feedback of all
other buttons to become inactive, or low, as shown in the figure following this
paragraph. In this example, join numbers 7 – 10 are in an interlock group; join 7 is
pressed, causing join 8, initially high, to go low and join7 to go hi. The one-way
touchpanels transmit only the newly pressed button to the control system. The
programmer must add a SIMPL Windows INTERLOCK symbol and connect all of the
touchpanel output's join numbers in that interlock group as inputs to the INTERLOCK
