Crestron C2IR-8 2-Series IR/Serial Output Expansion Card

2-Series IR/Serial Output

Expansion Card: C2IR-8

Description

Functional Description

The C2IR-8 Infrared & Serial Output Expansion Card provides eight ports for

infrared (IR), ASCII, or other serial communication and control. IR output is rated

up to 1.2 MHz, at data rates up to 115K. Serial protocols include RS-232. This new

generation card provides consistent IR data and generates output from all eight ports

simultaneously. The Crestron IRP2 Cresnet Infrared Emitter probe is designed to

interface with the C2IR-8 expansion card output connectors.

NOTE: RS-232 levels provide a 0 – 5V range, which may not be compatible with

all devices.

Physical Description

The C2IR-8 is a circuit board fastened to an aluminum faceplate. The card is

manufactured to easily fit into an unoccupied slot in a Crestron 2-Series Control

System.

NOTE: This card is compatible with 2-Series Control Systems only.

The faceplate, shown below, contains two male, 8-pin connectors; each with 4 pairs

of output pins labeled S and G (signal and ground). The pin pairs are labeled A

through D and E through H. Two supplied 8-position connectors can be wired and

attached to the faceplate connectors.

Crestron C2IR-8 2-Series IR/Serial Output Expansion Card

Setup

Installation

Items required to install the C2IR-8 are already attached to the unit. The only tools

required are a Phillips screwdriver and a grounding strap. Follow the assembly

procedure below.

CAUTION: The C2IR-8 contains electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD); observe

precautions for handling ESDs to avoid damaging the card.

NOTE: If installing the C2IR-8 into an AV2, it is assumed that CAGE2 has been

installed.

1. Disconnect power from the control system.

2. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove two screws and blank faceplate

from the desired slot in the control system.

3. Align the C2IR-8 with the card guides in the open slot and slide the

expansion card into position.

4. Firmly press both ends of the C2IR-8 faceplate to seat the expansion

card into the control system connector.

5. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the C2IR-8 to the control system.

6. Reapply power to the control system.

Preparation for Use

Connections are made to the eight serial outputs for IR, one-way RS-232, Control-S,

or other serial interface. Each output is labeled S (signal) and G (ground). Refer to

the sample hookup diagram below and, aside from reapplying power to the control

system last, complete the connections in any order.

Earlier versions of the Cresnet

Infrared Emitter probe require

hysical modification to be

compatible with the C2IR-8.

Crestron does not recommend

modifying the probe assembly.

Programming

The C2IR-8 can be programmed using Crestron programming tools Crestron

Application Builder™ (App Builder) and SIMPL™ Windows®. These tools are

intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility

of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more

flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can

initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use

advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.

Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder

Easiest method of programming,

but does not offer as much flexibility

as SIMPL Windows.

The Crestron AppBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and

commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and

lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for

designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and

functionality. The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all

touchpanel projects and control system logic.

The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software

development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User

IR Database, and User Modules Directory. The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these

tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use

programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all

Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols.

SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows

environment.

SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.

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.

The next three sections describe a C2IR-8 within SIMPL Windows. The first section

provides initial configuration information, the second section identifies the C2IR-8

symbol and defines its inputs and outputs and the final section provides the location

of an example program.

NOTE: The following descriptions assume that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL

Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.

Configure C2IR-8 Program

To create a program with a C2IR-8, refer to the table after this paragraph for initial

configuration information.

SIMPL is Crestron’s object-oriented programming language designated for easy

implementation of the control system requirements. The objects that are used in

SIMPL are called symbols.

C2IR-8 Symbol

Due to the functionality of the C2IR-8, the symbol is defined by one or more IR or

serial drivers assigned to the card’s ports. The diagrams in this section show the

symbols associated with the ports of the C2IR-8 in SIMPL Windows.

IR Driver

The symbols associated with an IR driver vary depending on the IR devices in the

system. As a sample, the illustration after this paragraph is for a system that contains

a Sony DVD player (model DVD-S7000). Typical of all IR devices, it has a number

of inputs to control its many functions. These inputs are driven by a user interface

(i.e., touchpanel or compatible third-party transmitter).

Serial Port

The symbol shown after this paragraph is only used when the card is used to

communicate with a serial device. The port supports baud rates up to 115K. The

tables that follow the symbol diagram list the inputs/outputs and their functional

description. Input and outputs surrounded by brackets ([…]) are optional.

INPUTS FUNCTION

(

)

[enable] If a signal is present on this input, it must be high to permit activity of the

symbol. If the signal is low, the symbol is disabled.

[tx$] Variable serial string input. Any data that appears on this input will be

transmitted.

str1 Fixed serial data input. When the corresponding digital input goes high, the

data is transmitted.

NOTE: When present, the delimiter is appended to every string of text in the port

definition.
