Crestron D3 Pro ™ Software
Equipment View
The Equipment View operates in two modes: Controlled Devices and Auxiliary
Devices.
Controlled devices are entities that communicate with the control processor, excluding the loads added in the Load Schedule View. Examples of controlled devices are low-voltage-relay-controlled devices, i.e., garage doors, gates and drapes,
RS-232 controlled devices such as security systems, and Ethernet-controlled devices such as a remote Crestron control system (see Remote System Definitions on page
44). Controlled devices provide commands and/or feedback that can be used in the
Programming View.
An Auxiliary Device is not programmable, meaning that it does not provide outputs and feedback that can be linked to actions in your program. Rather, an auxiliary device simply allows communication with a controlled device or interface. For example, a Crestron ST-COM is an auxiliary device that allows communication with controlled devices via RS-232. Other examples of auxiliary devices are control cards such as the C2IR-8 card, or C2COM-3.
You can switch between modes by clicking the buttons over the system directory. For
Controlled Devices, click the Controlled Devices button; for Auxiliary Devices, click the Auxiliary Devices button.
Auxiliary Devices Mode
The Auxiliary Devices mode allows you to view the slots on the lighting control processor. Here you will simply see the slots and ports on the control system arranged in the system tree, with nothing displayed in the center of the screen. You can expand any of the slots to see connected devices and their port assignments.
Note that if you add a controlled device in Controlled Devices mode, D3 Pro will automatically add any required network card or other auxiliary device to the appropriate slot on the control processor. For example, if you previously added a serial device, D3 Pro may automatically add an auxiliary device such as a Crestron
ST-COM to the C2Net-Device slot.
You can add an auxiliary device simply by dragging the device from the toolbox to a compatible slot on the control system. You can also change the port assignment of
