DeltaShowControlInterface

DeltaShowControlInterface is a small utility that provides a control logic for the Advantech ADAM-6060 interface module so that Delta shows can be controlled from simple remote switches. A ‘dry’ digital input (switch or pulse) to the ADAM-6060 will send a UDP trigger over Ethernet to the IP of the required Delta Server to either perform a simple timeline command or trigger a Delta sequence.

There are two Control Logic Modes, one to operate simple load/loop/stop timeline commands, the other to trigger prenamed Delta sequences. Any sequence can be written in Delta under a name that belongs to each input switch.

The Advantech ADAM-6060 illustrated here is a data acquisition and control module with 6 channels of digital input and 6 channels of relay outputs using Modbus TCP over Ethernet. Please refer to the specification of this unit for full details and suitability. Use the Advantech .NET utility supplied with your unit or downloaded from Advantech. Please refer also to the manual supplied with your Advantech ADAM-6060 unit.

DeltaShowControlInterface Software v.1.0

Advantech ADAM-6060 Interface Unit + Ethernet cable

Adam/Apax .NET Utility

Principle

The Advantech ADAM-6060 converts digital inputs to output commands over Ethernet.

DeltaShowControlInterface provides a control logic to convert this output to meaningful DeltaServer commands.

The Adam/Apax .NET utility enables communication between the ADAM-6060 and the Delta playback server.

The DeltaShowControlInterface configuration .xml file enables communication between the DeltaShowControlInterface utility and the DeltaServer application.

Combination switch operations into the ADAM-6060 are interpreted as playback controls, or instructions to run specifically-named sequences.
