Device
Type
In this example, two CP 3864s are being operated as a 128 x 1 control station.
The top CP 3864 has been selected as the “main” panel; therefore it will be assigned to specific CP sets. Enter the name of
the CP Input Set that will be used to assign inputs to all the buttons at this control station (for more information about CP Input
Sets, see page 5−62). In the “Output Sets” column, enter the name of the output to be controlled. The main panel will always
have the lowest−numbered input buttons.
Any panel used to expand the number of inputs (the bottom CP 3864 in this example) will use the “In Panel” column to select
the MPK Device name of the main panel. It would use the CP sets assigned to the main panel. The first expansion panel listed
in this table will have the button numbers immediately following those of the main panel; in this example panel “CP3864B”
will have button numbers 65−128.
MPK Device table entries for other CP 3832/64 applications was discussed on page 5−109 and following.
