9.3 Using a Graphics Plate to Monitor & Control a Matrixer
A matrixer can be monitored and controlled from a graphics but there are no ready-made GDMs (graphic display
modules) for matrixers. This means that you must manually create objects on the graphics plate for that purpose.
Figure 9.2 shows a very simple example.
In the above example a simple Container object was created and then an On/Off Button object for each relay of
a MRX-24. The groups were labelled A-D rather than 1-4 to avoid confusion with the relay numbers. A button was
also included for the DSPI and AUX controls. Finally, a second container and label were included at the bottom to
label the control panel.
If desired, you can create a custom GDM for a matrixer. It would be available to your graphics plates any time you
needed it. See Section 3.9 for additional information.
