VCU-EditPropertyThe VCU-Edit software program is used to create user interfaces for theLONVCU device. The software program runs under Windows95/98/ME/SE/2000 and XP. As a result VCU-Edit supplies an INI file whichcan downloaded to a LONVCU by means of a plug-in and then makes thecorresponding user interface available on the LONVCU.Software installationThe VCU-Edit software is supplied on a CD-ROM and, in addition to the setupprogram, also contains example user interfaces as well as a collection ofvarious ICONs from the field of building automation which may be usedtogether with a LONVCU.PC requirements:Windows 95/98 or higher versionsFree working memory > 64 MBFree hard disk memory >64 MBProcessor : Pentium 500 or fasterScreen resolution: Minimum 800 x 600 pixels in colorAdministrator rights may be required to carry out installationon WINDOWS 2000 or XP operating systems.Installation:Carry out the Setup.exe program on the CD-ROM. Installation is thencarried out user-guided.Examples::These are stored in the installation directory "C:\ProgramFiles\VCU_Edit" in the subdirectory "Demo".Documentation:This is stored in the installation directory "C:\ProgramFiles\VCU_Edit" in the subdirectory "Docu".Remark:A LONVCU project accesses special fonts, ICONS and XIF files.These have to be positioned in the respective project directory, forexample DEMO under Demo/Font/*.vfo, Demo/Icon/*.vco,Demo/XIF/*.xif .5

IntroductionThe LON VCU is a room control unit with a graphical display (green/black)with 122 x 32 pixels, a turning wheel as well as four buttons directly below thedisplay. The device is LONWORKS-based and communicates with otherdevices via network variables (NV). The device function can be specified viathe VCU-Edit configuration tool. This tool can be used to modify the display ofthe device, the function of the buttons and of the turning wheel as well as theoutput of NVs and the reaction to input NVs. Each button operation or an NVupdate represents an event in the LONVCU. The LONVCU can manage up to15 menus. The functions which are triggered by events of the buttons, of thelarge turning wheel and of the turning button can be redefined for each menu.Graphics as well as texts in various sizes and types of display can be shownin the display.As a result of the VCU-Edit software an INI file is generated. This can bedownloaded via the LONVCU PlugIn to the corresponding devices andconfigures the devices correspondingly.In principle the user interface of the LONVCU is created as follows.User interface designSTARTDefine menuDefine eventsSpecify functions pereventNew menuGenerate INI fileCheck result inLONVCUModify interfaceENDThe definition of a user interface begins with the specification of the menu.The events (buttons, turning wheel, etc.) are next specified in these menus. Inthe next step you define which functions are to be carried out at which event.This procedure can be carried out for further menus.6

VCU-Edit user interface The user interface is structured into three sections.Menu barView of the menus and events(structure window)Functions and theirparameters per event(function window)Displaying of textand graphics in theLONVCU display(VCU window)Structure windowView of the menus and eventsThe menus and events are specified in the left-hand section. The display iscarried out in a structure. The specification of the menus and events is carriedout by selecting an element with the mouse and then pressing the right-handmouse button. In the pop-up menus which are then displayed functions areoffered for creating menus, events or for deleting these.In addition tables in which corresponding parameters are assigned can beselected in the left-hand section. These tables are accessed from functions.Parameters which are used several times in various functions are stored inthese tables. This allows optimized usage of memory in the LONVCU,because, for example, a text such as "STOP" which is shown on the display isonly stored once but can be used in various menus.Function windowFunctions and their parameters per eventIn the central section of the user interface several functions can be definedper event, including the corresponding parameters. The functions are called inthe LONVCU by the event selected on the left - in the sequence from top tobottom.7

VCU windowDisplay of the texts and graphics in the LONVCU displayFunctions such as the display of text and graphics as well as formatteddisplay of network variables can be simulated in the display.Menu barThe menu bar is used to make additional functions available such as thegeneration of the INI file, the editing of ICONs and FONTs, the projectmanagement, etc.SummaryMenusA maximum of 15 menus can be defined in a LONVCU. The menus arespecified in the structure window.A menu has the following structure.The menu initialization stands at the beginning. Here texts, graphics (ICONs)or NVs are defined which are displayed in the menu. The NVs which aredisplayed are always displayed whenever a new value is available in the NV(event NV Update). However, this only applies as long as this menu is active.Events can be defined for the buttons and the turning wheel per menu. Eachevent can then in turn have one or more functions assigned to it. For examplethat the system jumps to a different menu when the wheel is turned or that anicon is displayed inverted when a button is pressed. When this button isreleased, the icon is then, for example, displayed normally and in addition, forexample, an NV with a default value is sent.We recommend that menus be changed by turning the wheel since practicalexperience has shown this to be the best method of operating the device.EventsVarious events can be defined for each menu for the initialization as well asfor the button operation including turning wheel.A difference is made at the buttons whether the button is being pressed orreleased. At the turning wheel you can furthermore specify one event each forturning clockwise or anti-clockwise. The initializing event defines whichfunctions are executed when the menu is called and to which network variable(NV) Update the system is to react in this menu.8

FunctionsGeneralSeveral functions can be executed by the LONVCU for each event. These areexecuted in the sequence in which they are listed from top to bottom. Thereare functions for displaying texts and graphics (ICON), for receiving andsending network variables as well as some special functions.TextTexts can be displayed in the display depending on the font (character set)used. The form of display is determined by specifying the position in the X-and Y-direction, the text size (8 or 16 pixels high) and the type of display(normal, inverted). Since some texts are used more than once, the text to bedisplayed is not defined directly here, but it is selected from the text table. Thistable can be referenced from various functions in order to allow an effectivememory management in the LONVCU. The text table is described furtherbelow.Icon (graphics)Icons in the format 16x16 or 32x32 pixels can be downloaded into theLONVCU and displayed in the display. The position in the X- and Y-directionin the display as well as the type of display (normal, inverted) have to bespecified. Since some icons are used more than once, a table of icons isdownloaded into the device. This is then referenced from the menus. TheICON table is described further below.NV SendSending of network variables can be carried out during the menu initialization(once whenever a new menu is built up) as well as a reaction to the pressingof a button/wheel turning. The NV to be sent (NV Dest.) as well as the value(NV Source) which is to be sent have to be selected. Default parameters aswell as other NVs, which can furthermore be modified mathematically, can beused as a value.9

NV_Format / NV_LUTThe value of network variables can be displayed in the display. The networkvariable to be displayed is selected via the NV Index. The display of the valueof the network variables has to be defined by the specification of the startbyte, of the length and of the sign. This applies for input as well as for outputvariables. If this NV is to be displayed independently of a button operation, thedefinition has to be carried out in the menu initialization. The display is thenalways carried out when this variable is updated.The display is carried out formatted, meaning that a divisor, a multiplier aswell as the number of digits before and after the decimal point can bespecified.A special format is available for the display of a time, so that two number arealways displayed (with or without a preceding "0". "2" o' clock thus becomes"02" o' clock).If the internal temperature sensor of the type SNVT_temp_p is to bedisplayed, this can be selected under NV Index.Depending on the NVs a text or an ICON can be displayed or a new menucan be selected. So-called LookUpTables (LUT) are used to this purpose. Inthese tables you define what is to be displayed at which value. For example,various functions can be executed at an NV of the type "Setting" for controllingblinds as a function of their position data. For example, an icon for a blindswhich is traveled in can be displayed at a position below 5%, an icon for ablind in an intermediate position for 5-95% and an icon for a blind which istraveled out for a position exceeding 95%.A special function is furthermore to send one or more new NVs as a functionof an NV.SliderA slider whose position can be changed is displayed.BeeperThe duration of a sound is set here.Start/Stop SequenceSequences of texts or ICONs can be called via this function. Five differenttexts or ICONs can be defined per sequence. These are displayed either onceor repeatedly within a defined time framework.MenuHere you specify to which menu the system changes at a correspondingevent.10

General tablesTextsList of the texts which can be used.IconsList of the ICONs which can be used.LUT LookUpTablesLookup table for the display of texts and ICONs as well as for branching toanother menu. In addition NVs can be sent as a function of the tables.DefaultDefault values for network variables. These values are, for example, used inorder to specify which value is to be sent when a button is pressed. Also referto Page 17, VCU particular characteristic!SequencesDefinition of sequences which can be executed consecutively. In thesesequences texts and ICONs can be displayed consecutively within a fixedtime framework. This can, for example, lead to an animated display at ICONs.ParametersThis is used to define mathematical functions for the processing of an NVduring sending.11

DisplayThis specifies the brightness of the background lighting when the device isoperated (active brightness) as well as after a fall time (LowTime brightness)(passive brightness). In addition, the contrast can be set. In addition the time(TimeToDefaultM.) after which the system jumps back to the default menu canbe defined. This point specifies which menu is to be displayed after aLONVCU reset.Dial clicksThis specifies the number of clicks when the wheel is turned until a reactionoccurs. (for example a menu change)Temperature offsetIf the built-in temperature sensor needs to be adjusted (depending on themounting site, for example on wood, plaster, concrete, etc.), an offset can beset here.PulseCountChanges the audio frequency of the beeper.12

EditorsFont EditorThe Font Editor can be used to modify the special LONVCU character set. Inthe Font Editor the first 127 characters of the ASCII character set can beedited. However the LONVCU can only use the characters ASCII Code 32-127. The German special characters which lie beyond the ASCII Code 127 aswell as the degrees character are mapped in the font (ÄÖÜäöüß° = ASCIIcharacters 2-9). It is not possible to generate new font files with this editor, butonly to change existing ones. If a new font is required, an existing one can becopied and then modified.LoadThe "Load" button is used to select the font to be edited. The font file is of thetype *.vfo.CAUTION:The selected font is not automatically the font of the project!The project has to be reloaded in order to use a modifiedfont in the project.+/- Character selectionThe character of a font which is to be modified can be selected by threealternatives. The first is to specify the ASCII Code in the left-hand input field,the second by directly entering the character in the right-hand field. The thirdis to change between the 127 characters by using the + and - buttons.EditThe appearance of the character can be modified by clicking the fields in theright-hand window. This inverts its color at every click from green to black orvice versa. The display later corresponds to the display in the device. Pleasenote that characters with double the size cannot be edited. These areextrapolated from the characters with the normal size.SaveIf the "Save" button is clicked, all the characters of a font are saved.ExitTerminates the Font Editor.CAUTION: The font has to be saved, if appropriate, before the editor isterminated.13

ICON EditorThe Icon Editor can be used to modify the special LONVCU ICONs (VICON)and furthermore to read in and convert Windows ICONs. Corresponding greenor black values can be assigned to the colors of the Windows ICONs. Iconswith 16x16 or 32x32 pixels can be created with the ICON Editor.Read ICONThis button is used to read in standard Windows ICONs and then displaythem.Read VICONThis button is used to read in the LONVCU-typical ICONs and then displaythem. The LONVCU ICONs have the extension "*.vci".Write VICONThis saves the graphics in a special format as a *.vci filePenThe pin can be used to set points in the grid in the color defined beforehand.EraserIn used to delete pixelsColorChanges the color for the pen from green to black and vice versa.Icon 16x16 / Icon 32x32Switches between the icon displays of 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. At 16x16 pixelsa red auxiliary frame is displayed automatically. This represents the size of a16x16 pixel ICON.Color assignmentIf Windows ICONs are loaded, these usually have a color table. The colorsgreen or black can be assigned to these colors of the color table since theLONVCU can only display black or green pixels. The two arrows can be usedto navigate within the color table.14

Graphics outputs in LUTs as well as in sequences are notdisplayed!Delete/Display ICONDeletes the display contents of the simulated VCU.16

VCU particular characteristic A particular characteristic of the LONVCU is the way networkvariables are handled. The LONVCU processes network variables internally inraw format. This means, for example that a network variable of the typeSNVT_setting is displayed internally as a variable with 4 individual bytes. Themeaning of the individual bytes is unknown to the LONVCU.Example: C-structureTypedef struct {setting_t function; // 1stbyteunsigned short setting; // 2ndbytesigned long rotation; // 3rd + 4th byte} SNVT_settingThe bytes have the following function in accordance with theSNVT_Masterlist. The first byte defines the function, the second byte theposition and the third and fourth bytes together the angle. The angle has asign.The following applies in accordance with the SNVT-Masterlist:For "function":Byte value:FunctionDecimal Hex0 00h SET_OFF1 01h SET_ON2 02h SET_DOWN3 03h SET_UP4 04h SET_STOP5 05h SET_STATE (travel to absolute positionand inclination)255 FFh SET_NULLThe following applies for "setting":Byte value: Function (position specification as a %)Decimal Hex0 00h 0.0%1 01h 0.5%2 02h 1.0%:200 C8h 100%The following applies for "rotation":Byte value: Function (angle specification in 0.02°steps)Decimal Hex-17999 B9B0h -359,98°:-3 FFFDh -0.06°-2 FFFEh -0.04°-1 FFFFh -0.02°0 0000h 0°1 0001h 0.02°2 0002h 0.04°3 0003h 0.06°:18000 4650h 360°The following thus has to be configured for this NV if a SNVT_setting is to besent, for example moving to an absolute position and angle.17

Example: (decimal representation)Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4SNVT_setting(SET_STATE, 50%, 0,.2°) = 5 100 0 6Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4SNVT_setting(SET_STATE, 50%, 360°) = 5 100 70 80Extra calculation: 70 * 256 + 80 = 18000Example for determining the value for a 2-byte type using rotation as anexample:1) 360° is to be set. 360 * 50 = 18000, since the variable works with 0.02°resolution2) Use a pocket calculator to calculate the hex value of 18000. Result:4650h3) The value 46h is the value for the 3rd byte and the value 50h is thevalue for the 4th byte.4) When the value 46h is converted back to a decimal value, the result is70 decimal. The value 50h results in 80 decimal.5) Enter 70 correspondingly in the 3rd byte and 50 in the 4th byte!NVs are handled by this method not only during the sending of NVs, but alsoduring receiving. If, for example, the position is to be displayed as anSNVT_setting. Thus the start position of the first byte as well as the number ofbytes which are to be displayed have to be specified in the VCU-Edit software.In addition you have to define whether the bytes have a sign or not andwhether the display is to be formatted.Formatted means, for example, that if the number is a fixed point number, youcan specify the number of digits before and after the decimal point, as well asfactors for multiplication and division.18

Example: Byte without signByte value Display0 01 12 2......255 255Example: Byte with signByte value Display0 01 13 3......127 127128 -128.....255 -1In order, for example, to apply this to an NV of the type SNVT_setting thismeans: The inclination is displayed by specifying the first byte of theinclination, in this case the 3rd byte; by specifying the length, in this case 2 for2 bytes; whether the two bytes have a sign or not, in this case with sign; aswell as a divisor, in this case divided by 50. In addition the number has 3 digitsbefore and 2 digits after the decimal point.In this type of processing one could also combine the first three bytes of theNV. However, this would naturally not produce a reasonable result in this case(function + position + the 1st byte of the inclination).The advantage of this method is that network variables can be processedirrespective of their type. This offers the advantage that the integrator canmodify the type of a network variable, for example with the integration tool"LONMaker", as long as the length of the NV remains unchanged. This can beuseful for the integrator if, for example there are insufficient NVs of the typeSNVT_switch. It is then possible to convert NVs of the type SNVT_temp_p toNVs of the type SNVT_switch.19

Project startEntering the project name,path, font and interface fileThe project is started by means of the pulldown menu "File\New project".The project name under which the project is to be managed in future as wellas the project path in which the project data are stored have to be specified. Inaddition the font which is to be displayed in the LONVCU display has to beselected. In the last step the interface file of the LONVCU which defines theinterface of the device is specified.Remark:A LONVCU project accesses special fonts, ICONs and XIF files.These have to be positioned in the respective project directory underProject_Directory/Font/*.vfo, Project_Directory/ICON/*.vco,Project_Directory/XIF/*.xif.Definition of menusAfter a new project has been created, the required menus have to be definedas the first step. To do so click with the right-hand mouse button on VCU inthe structure window and select New menu.A new menu is inserted into the structure as a result.Further menus can now be inserted as described above.Remark: The menu name can be changed by licking the name andentering a new name.20

Definition of eventsAfter the menus have been defined, button or turning wheel events can nowbe created for each menu. In addition an initialization event has to be defined.In this event, the appearance of the menu is defined by specifying texts andICONs on the one hand. On the other hand the NVs are specified here atwhose update corresponding functions (NV_Format, NV_LUT see furtherbelow) are to be executed. In addition an initialization of NVs is possible. Theinitialization event is called up once whenever a menu change is carried outand the corresponding menu has to be built up again.NV Updates in this menu are always processed as long as this menu is visibleand thus active.Corresponding functions can be triggered via button or turning wheel events.These for example send a network variable or invert an ICON in order tovisualize button operation.A new event is defined by clicking with the right-hand mouse button on amenu and then selecting the event.Further events in different menus can be created by the same method. Theselections below show all the possible events.Definition of functionsAfter the required events have been defined, the functions which are executedwhen an event is called up are specified.Specification is carried out in the middle window. Click with the left-handmouse button on a field under "Function" and select a corresponding functionfrom the list via the pulldown button displayed.21

In this selected function a wide variety of properties which influence theappearance and handling of the LONVCU can be set.As an example: The properties of the Text functionThe possible functions have already been described further above. A moredetailed description of the properties with their parameters is given below.After all the menus, events, functions with properties have been defined, thefunctions can be simulated with graphics display.Simulation button for the following functions (texts, ICONs,NV_Format, slider). Display is carried out in the sequence in whichthe functions are defined for an event (from top to bottom). TheNV_Send, NV_LUT, Sequence, beeper and menu functions cannotbe simulated at present, so that they have to be checked in theLONVCU directly after the INI file has been downloaded.This button can be used to delete contents in the simulation display.The menu contents are deleted automatically in the LONVCU at achange. In the simulation this has to be done by hand.After the check has been completed successfully, an INI file can now begenerated which is then downloaded to the corresponding devices via theLONVCU PlugIn.Generation of the INI filesAfter a LONVCU menu has been defined and simulated successfully, an INIfile has to be generated which can then be downloaded via a plug-in to theLONVCU.The procedure is started via the above pulldown menu. The following windowis displayed.22

After the Start button has been pressed, generation of the INI file is started.The individual generation phases are now displayed in the window. In the firststep the tables for texts and ICONs are sorted in order to eliminate any emptyentries. The menu functions are then scanned. After the run has beencompleted, an INI file with the name of the project exists in the projectdirectory. This file and the ICONs used (in the project directory / ICON) arethen required in the LONCVCU PlugIn in order to download the menufunctions to a LONVCU.If errors occur of if the capacity of the LONVCU is exceeded, this is shown atthe point where the problem arise.For example Menu 2, Scan Event Key2 press, Scan Function ICONPlease refer to the PlugIn instructions for information on how the LONVCUPlugIn works.Saving the projectAll the project-specific settings and parameters are stored in the project filewith the extension *.vpf. However, the font used (for example,VCU_Font_D.vfo), the ICONs used, the LONVCU interface file *.xif as well asthe INI file including the substructure of the path in which these files lie, haveto be saved additionally.If the project path changes, the original structure of the subdirectories withtheir names have to be included. After the project file has been called up in adifferent directory, you are prompted to specify the new project path.Afterwards the projected has to be saved again. Subsequent call-ups of theproject file are then carried out as usual.23

Value range: 0 - 65535Parameter: MaximumValueSpecification of the range at which the LUT becomes active andcorrespondingly displays a text or an ICON or changes to a different menu.The upper limit of the range is specified here. Value range: 0 - 65535Parameter: NV. Dest.Network variable which is to be sent. The data which are to be sent aredetermined via the NV. Source selection.Parameter: NV. SourceSource of the data which are to be sent via the network variable (determinedby NV.Dest.). These sources can be network variables, the internaltemperature sensor or also default values.DefaultSpecification of the values which a network variable can send. The number ofbytes which an NV uses depends on its type.Parameter: Byte 0 to Byte 9Specification of values between 0 and 255.The calculator under Extras can be used to calculate the individual bytevalues.Please observe the remarks in the above chapter VCU particularcharacteristic!SequencesDefinition of sequences which can be executed consecutively. A sequenceconsists of a maximum of five different displays. Texts and ICONs can bedisplayed in the fixed period consecutively. This can, for example, lead to ananimated display at ICONs. Each of the five displays of a sequence isselected via the Buttons 1 to 5 below the properties. If you do not want thedisplay to be continuous, select STOP in the "Time" property at the displaylast displayed.34

Parameter: TextSelection of the text from the text table which is to be displayed.Parameter: IconSelection of the ICON from the ICON table which is to be displayed.Parameter: Position XWhen a text or ICON is specified, the desired position in the X-direction of thedisplay is specified here. Value range: Column 0 to 117Parameter: Position YWhen a text or ICON is specified, the desired position in the Y-direction of thedisplay is specified here. Value range: Line 0 - 3CAUTION: Column 2 may be specified as the maximum for a text with largedisplay as well as for ICONs in the format 16x16. Only Column 0 may beselected for ICONs in the format 32x32.Parameter: SizeWhen a text is specified, the size of the display can be specified here. (8pixels text height = small or 16 pixels text height = large).This is not relevant for the display of ICONs or if NVs are used.Parameter: Display typeIf a text or an ICON is specified, the type of display (normal or inverted) isselected here.Parameter: TimeIn the Time parameter you define how long each display is visible within asequence. If STOP is selected, the display of the sequence is terminated.Value range: 0- 25.4 s or STOPParameter recordsIs used in order to define mathematical functions at the NV processing.(mathematical processing of NVs)Parameter: Start byteSpecification of the first byte which is relevant for the mathematical function.Parameter: LengthSpecification of the number of bytes which are used at the mathematicalfunction.Parameter: SignSpecification whether the bytes selected above have a sign or not.Parameter: Minimum valueMinimum value which can be used.

DisplayThis specifies the brightness of the background lighting when the device isoperated (active brightness) as well as after a fall time (LowTime brightness)(passive brightness). In addition, the contrast can be set. You can furthermorespecify after which period (TimeToDefaultM) the system returns to whichdefault menu.Parameter: Active brightnessThe brightness of the background lighting after a wheel/button operation. Canbe set in steps between 0 and 15. 0 = Off, 15 = Maximum brightnessParameter: Passive brightnessThe brightness of the background lighting after an operation. Can be set insteps between 0 and 15. 0 = Off, 15 = Maximum brightnessParameter: ContrastCan be set in steps between 0 and 15. 0 = Minimum contrast, 15 = MaximumcontrastParameter: Brightness Low TimeThe period after the last operation after which the passive brightness is set.Can be set in steps of 1 second from 0 s to 254 s. If Invalid is entered, theactive brightness always applies.Parameter: DefaultMenueSpecification of the menu which is displayed first. (basic setting is 1)Parameter: TimeToDefaultMenueSpecification of the period after the last operation after which the systemjumps back to the default menu. If the value Invalid is selected, the systemdoes not jump back to the default menu.Dial clicksThis specifies the number of clicks when the wheel is turned until a reactionoccurs. (for example a menu change)Parameter: Change pulsesNumber of pulses arising when the wheel is turned which are necessary sothat the event wheel turned left or right is carried out.TempOffsetIf the built-in temperature sensor has to be adjusted, an offset can be sethere.Parameter: Temperature offsetUsed to correct the internal temperature sensor in steps of 0.1°. Defaultsetting is 0°.PulseCountsound.Specifies the audio frequency of the beeper.Parameter: Sound pulseFrequency specification in steps of 0 to 7. With 0 = low sound and 7 = high36
