The channel code allows a button to have AXCESS code statements like Push and
Release associated with specific functions. Figure 143 shows the relationship between
the device and channel numbers. Each device can have a channel range from 1 to 255
per device.
• CHANNEL − DEV Opens the keypad where you set the device number for
the current button or touch panel page. Referred to as the Base device
number, the device range (from 1–4) doesn’t represent actual hardware
devices but instead provides up to four different touch panel bus devices
that can be assigned with channel values from 1 through 255..
• CHANNEL − CHAN Opens the keypad where you set the channel code for
the current button. The channel code range is from 1 through 255. Record the
channel code settings if you want to create duplicate buttons and functions
on another page. If AUTO ASSIGN is enabled in the Protected Setup page,
the touch panel prompts you to automatically or manually assign the
channel code. Select YES to allow the touch panel to assign the lowest
unused channel number. Referred to as the channel code number and
represents the button channel assignments recognized by the Central
Controller.
Note
All new buttons are automati-
cally set to Double-Raised.
