Installation

The Q-SYS Core is considered as the server and the TwinCAT automation platform is considered as the client. The Q-SYS Core should load a Q-SYS design file and switch to Run to connect to TwinCAT automation platform. (In Q-SYS Designer this process is called Run mode).

Alternatively, if there is no Q-SYS hardware available, a Q-SYS design file can be simulated (in Q-SYS Designer the simulation process is called Emulate mode) on Q-SYS designer software without hardware. More information can be found at website Q-SYS help portal.

Before using this tc3_Qrc library, target controls and components must be set up in Q-SYS Designer:

• For target controls, they must be dragged to the Named Controls pane.
• For target components, their names must be customized and unique.
• For mixer Control and snapshot control, they are also types of component control and they should be prepared like target components.

In following paragraphs, the words Q-SYS device represents Q-SYS Core in Run mode or Q-SYS designer software in Emulate mode.
