Re: Self taught beginner question about crosspoints.


 

If they told you in training that you can only have 1 ECCON in your
program, they informed you incorrectly.

So if I understand your chart (which looks great btw), you are using a
ECCONNECT per CCROSS which means a ECCONNECT per touchpanel. I was told in
training to only use 1 ECCONNECT in the program. I think it would be
easier to do it your way. Have you (or anyone) had any issues using more
than one ECCONNECT in your program?

Ok, so I've updated the flow chart and added some intermediate and
advanced
models of crosspoints.

These are by no means a comprehensive guide of crosspoint best practices,
but rather just a more visual representation of hierarchy and signal flow
intended to help people visualize the mechanics of crosspoints and where
the signals go...

The advanced model I've added is not necessarily the most practical
example
of layered crosspoints but I thought it best to start there as a
conceptual
base and then expand into more practical multi-layered models.

I'm slowly starting to implement more cross point into my programming.
The
easiest use is for using one panel to control diferent rooms.
Typically a
roaming ipad. I have also used them to control multiples of similar
devices. I could go ahead and just use a couple hundred generic joins
of
each type and route every single device through cross points, but I
find I
still take too long to find stuff in my folders if I do this. I
learned the
basics just by adapting some of crestrons example programs for their
centrack and idoc logic. I actually took over a project from another
programmer recently who in my opinion overused cross points. It is a
little
silly to use cross points for the most basic functions, but I do
understand
how this can expedite creating a project cookie cutter style.

I have written a fairly basic system for my home and have been
looking
at the code for a home that a friend of mine purchased where he was
given
the option to buy the simpl program which of course I recommended he
do it.

His program is all interlocks and buffers. Being self taught I
already
had figured out this method of multi-point control from the help files
and
the primer.

I had already programmed my home in the same way because it was easy
to
understand and debug.

I have reviewed the basic crosspoints program and would like to ask
if
this is the more professional way of programming a multi-point control
system? Is there less overhead required on the CPU? Should the system
be
completely redesigned using a crosspoint system or can zones/devices be
migrated over and the buffer/interlock devices left in place until the
code
is replaced?

Since I have a small system with just 4 zones and a few components
that
are not critical to the operation of my home I have the ability to
rewrite
my system and enjoy doing it in my off time to relax and forget about
work.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
John.
