AXC-SLD Slide Interface Card

The AXC-SLD Slide Projector Control Card provides commands for

Forward, Reverse, Focus In, and Focus Out. With the optional AMX PC1

Power Controller, the card also provides AC Power On/Off. Each projector

requires one card, and up to 255 slide projectors can be controlled in one

system with additional AMX CardFrames and cards. The card is designed

for the Kodak® series of slide projectors, but it may also be used with

compatible models. Two extra AUX relays are provided for additional user

controls.

Specifications

The following table lists the AXC-SLD specifications.

Pinouts

Control Card.

Programming

The AXC-SLD is controlled with channel setting commands. Refer to the

Axcess Programming Guide for additional programming information.

Channel Setting Commands

Use the following channel setting commands to control the AXC-SLD.

To use the channel setting commands, you must assign a button push to

each of the five channel settings. The following example describes using

the channel setting commands.

Example Axcess program

An example of Axcess programming code to control the AXC-SLD via a

touch panel is shown below.

In the DEFINE_DEVICE section of the program, define the touch panel

(device 128 for this example) and the AXC-SLD (device 96 in this example -

set with the DEVICE DIP switch):

TP=128 (*Touch Panel*)

SLD=96 (*AXC-SLD*)

In the DEFINE_PROGRAM section of the Axcess program (beneath the 'MSG'

Send_Command), enter:

SYSTEM_CALL 'SLD1'(SLD,TP,1,2,3,4,5,0,0)

Compile and save the program. That's all the code you need to control the

AXC-SLD. Since this example uses a touch panel, you must also create a

touch panel page with a minimum of five buttons - one button for each

Channel Setting Command (forward, reverse, focus in, focus out, and

power). You can create touch panel pages either on the touch panel itself,

or you can use the TPDesign3 Touch Panel Design software program to

design the page(s) and download them into the panel. For detailed

information on creating touch panel pages and buttons, refer to the

TPDesign3 Touch Panel Design Program Instruction Manual.

For information on creating pages and buttons on the touch panel itself,

refer to the Instruction Manual for the type of Touch Panel you are using

(Viewpoint, Powertilt/ Powertouch, etc).

Setting up a touch panel page for the AXC-SLD

FIG. 2 shows an example touch panel page with five slide projector function

buttons, plus a page flip button to flip back to the Main page. The callouts

show the channel properties for each button.

To set up an AXC-SLD touch panel page:

1. Create a new page and set the page properties as desired.

2. Create a new button, and set the button properties:

a. Enter button text: "Forward"

b. Set the Button Type to General

c. Set the Button Options to Channel

d. Set the Channel properties to DEV = 1, CHAN = 1

e. Set the Variable Text properties to DEV = 1, CHAN = 1

f. Set the Channel Off and Channel On colors to indicate button

feedback as desired

3. To create the next button ("Reverse"), repeat step two. There are only

a couple of differences between the buttons on this page: the button

text, and the channel assignment. The channel assignment is directly

related to the Channel Setting Commands listed in Figure 8. Enter

"Reverse" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 2

Specifications

4. To create the next button ("Focus In"), repeat step two. Enter "Focus

In" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 3

5. To create the next button ("Focus Out"), repeat step two. Enter

"Focus Out" as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 4

6. To create the next button ("Power"), repeat step two. Enter "Power"

as the button text, and set the Channel properties to:

DEV = 1, CHAN = 5

7. Create a page flip button "MAIN", and set the page flip to the MAIN

page.

You're almost done! The only problem with the program as it is

shown above is that the Power button does not toggle the power to

the AXC-SLD. To make the Power button toggle On/Off each time it is

pressed, the following modification to the Axcess code is needed:

Add the following code, before the System_Call:

PUSH[TP,1] (*add*)

PUSH[TP,2] (*add*)

PUSH[TP,3] (*add*)

PUSH[TP,4] (*add*)

ON[SLD,5] (*add*)

SYSTEM_CALL 'SLD1'(SLD,TP,1,2,3,4,5,0,0)

(*leave this line as it is*)

8. Re-compile the program and test all functions. The Power button

should now toggle On/Off when pressed.
