Setup

Applying Power

The touchpanel can be powered via an external AC power pack, while resting in the

ST-DSN, or via the ST-BTPN. Each of these supplied items has an Operations Guide

which details proper usage. Refer to the table below for the required document

number. This table does not account for the latest revision letter of each document.

NOTE: The battery can be charged only if the touchpanel is in the docking station.

The touchpanel will function when powered by the external power pack, but this

configuration will not charge the battery.

* The latest revision may have a revision letter after the document number (e.g., 6088A).

Identity Codes

The ST-1550C touchpanel uses two distinct types of identity codes: Cresnet identity

(NET ID), and RF ID. These codes are assigned to the touchpanel from the Interface

Submenu when the unit is configured. Refer to “Interface” on page 11. For the

touchpanel to be identified within the Cresnet system, these assignments must match

assignments made in the SIMPL Windows program.

NET ID

Every equipment and user interface within the Cresnet system requires a unique NET

ID. The NET ID is a two-digit hexadecimal number that can range from 03 to FE.

The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows

program. The NET ID is used when the touchpanel is wired directly to the control

system during uploading a VisionTools™Pro-e (VT Pro-e) project or upgrading the

touchpanel firmware.

RF ID

Every ST-1550C touchpanel communicating with a Cresnet control system via an

ST-CP or CNRFGWA requires a unique RF ID to secure RF communications. There

are 15 useable codes for multiple touchpanel(s) ranging from 01 to 0F (hexadecimal

number). The RF ID of the unit must match the RF ID specified in the SIMPL

Windows program.

NOTE: Do not set the RF ID to “00”; it is not supported in SIMPL Windows.
