Instructions on how to use the new version of Cerberus.

The program.
The program gets all its information from Argus over the network when in operation
and makes no contribution to the logical operation of the interlocks. It just reports
what it is told.
The program currently updates at 5 Hz.
The program gets its knowledge of which room it is in from the name of the computer
e.g. CERBERUS00 to CERBERUS07. CERBERUS0 is the test / spare machine (however
IP addresses are allocated to machines and PLCs by hand).
The code makes some consistency checks on the data to see if something has failed
(reported as BROKEN on the layout diagram). If it finds an inconsistency it reports it
on the screen immediately and if it is present for more than one second (to allow for
the possibility of network messages getting out of phase) it beeps (through the
speakers) once each time round the loop until the failure is rectified. The checks are
If a door is reported from two different rooms and the data is in conflict.
If a shutter is reported from two different rooms and the data is in conflict.
If a shutter is showing both fully open and fully closed at the same time.
The tripped and hazardous state either side of an open shutter are not the
same.
A door is open and not overridden and the room or rooms either side of the
door are not tripped.
A laser is on in a room or enclosure and the room or enclosure is not
hazardous.
The program attempts to report any errors in the commands (mistyping or correctly
typed but in the wrong position) in the layout file.
Wave files (.wav) can be generated to report a laser about to come on, a laser on, a
shutter about to open and a room tripped. These files will vary with the name of the
item and will need to be re-recorded as the configuration changes. These items are
reported in the room in which the device is located, any room connected to that room
through an open shutter and room 0 (the control room). This can be turned off with
the Sound keyword.
The layout of the door / wall display follows the CLF agreed document.

The program is configured from a text table in a file called layout.txt without any
change to the compiled code. It can be configured for any laser configuration currently
with an upper limit of up to 20 rooms and 100 each of doors, shutters, lasers and
enclosures (although this upper limit can be trivially changed, almost without limit).
Numbers need not be contiguous.
The file Layout.txt.
The whole program is defined by a text file called layout.txt which can be saved and
restored for different application using operating system commands.
It can be entered / edited using any text editor e.g. Notepad, Word (provided it is
saved as a .txt file) etc.
There is a command per line. Line breaks are not allowed.
Each line terminated by a semi-colon (;).
Anything after the semi-colon is treated as a comment.
An exclamation mark (!) at the beginning of a line defines that line as a comment.
Separators are a space or a / (which ever helps to make sense of the command).
Commands can occur in any order (but it is wise to group them). Not all commands
are necessary (e.g. if a door is not overridable, omit the overridden bit position).
The program counts the number of items (e.g. rooms, doors etc.) - you do not have to
enter the information separately. The first reference to an item adds it to the list.
The definition of bit position is a sequence of three numbers
The first is the room number providing the information (0 to No. of rooms 1);
The second is the word number in the array of bytes send by that room; and
The third is the bit position in the byte (0 to 15, 0 being the least significant bit)
e.g. 1/4/2 means room 1 / word 4 / bit 2
The definition of colour is three numbers being the percentage setting of the Red,
Green and Blue guns in that order e.g. 100/100/100 is white, 0/0/0 is black, 100/0/0
is pure red 0/100/0 is pure green and 0/0/100 is pure blue.
Titles can be followed by comments telling you about the state of that item, e.g. the
title of a door or enclosure can be followed by Overridden, a laser by On? indicating
it is about to come on (CF shutter also), a room by searching etc.
A (rather basic) pattern of the bits is written to the screen to act as a diagnostic to the
working of the program. This could be removed in future issues if required.

A fully working example of this file is provided later.

The key words are

A.

Key words that can occur at the beginning of a line -

TestMode
This switches the program into a stand alone test mode enabling Cerberus to be set up
and tested on your local computer; giving you the opportunity to change the bit
information. When it is commented out ( !TestMode ) the program will run in
production mode and get its bit information from Argus over the network.
There are no parameters (and, remember, the line must end with a semi-colon).
Recording
This turns on the recording of (and the ability to playback) the changes in the bit
pattern with a date and time stamp (not yet implemented).
BitPattern
This defines where the bit pattern (and the test bits check box) is drawn on the screen.
It is followed by 4 numbers (left, top, width and height).
MainTitle
This defines the text and position of the main title on the screen. It can be followed by
the keyword Title or CastelOKBitPosition.
The title consists of the title, the state of the Castel keys (OK), the date and time, and a
spin wheel to indicate the program is running. It is drawn in black.
Colour
This defines the colours of the items on the layout screen. It is followed by one of the
key words from Room, Background, Hazardous, Door, Shutter, Laser, LaserFill,
Enclosure, EnclosureFill, OnBit and OffBit and then followed by 3 numbers in the
range 0 to 100 being the percentage settings of the Red, Green and Blue guns in that
order. All colours (as defined by the key words) must be defined.
Message

This defines a message to be written to the layout screen at the specified position in
the specified colour when a bit is set. It is followed by a number in the range 0 to 99
and keywords Title, Colour, or MessageBit. Title is of the format of Title with an
optional integer at the end defininf the font size (if it is missing the default is 8 point).
Colour is followed by the foreground and background colours in the format of
Colour. Messagebit is followed by On or Off and a bit in the format of Bit.
Room
This defines the parameters for a room. It is always followed by the room number and
can then be followed by a key word from Title, Corners, NotTrippedBitPosition,
HazardousBitPosition, EmptyBitPosition, SearchingBitPosition,
AuthorisingBitPosition, EditInfoBitPosition, ServiceModeBitPosition, Sound,
ShowBeamStops , Connection, IPAddr, EditInfoRoomScreen or DoorDisplay.
A room consists of an outline and a title with the possibility of associated comments.
It is drawn in black.

and close position. It is drawn in red.

Shutter
This defines the parameters for a shutter. It is always followed by a shutter number
and can then be followed by a key word from Title, OpenPosition, ClosedPosition,
InRoom, AlsoInRoom, OpenBitPosition, ClosedBitPosition and
AboutToOpenBitPosition.
The shutter consists of a title with the possibility of associated comments and an open
and close position. It is drawn in blue.
Laser

This defines the parameters for a laser. It is always followed by a laser number and can
then be followed by a key word from Title, Position, Beam, InRoom, OnBitPosition,
ComingOnBitPosition and NoHazardInRoom.
The laser consists of a title with the possibility of associated comments and a
rectangular box with a beam drawn from it. The rectangle is drawn solid if the laser is
on and hollow if it is off. It is drawn in green.
Enclosure
This defines the parameters for an enclosure. It is always followed by an enclosure
number and can then be followed by a key word from Title, Corners, InRoom,
ClosedBitPosition, HazardousBitPosition or OverriddenBitPosition.
The enclosure consists of a title with the possibility of associated comments and a
rectangular box. The rectangle is filled if the enclosure is hazardous and hollow if it is
not. If the enclosure is open then one side is not drawn. It is drawn in purple.
BeamStop
This defines the beam stops whose states are reported on the door displays if
requested. It is always followed by a beam stop number and can then be followed by a
key word from Title, Laser or OpenBitPosition. They are not drawn on the layout
diagram. Laser is a special case (see below)

Operation in test mode.

If the keyword TestMode is present anywhere in the table, then a button will be
drawn at the bottom right hand corner of the screen labelled Test Mode. This will
open a window with a number of check boxes (drawn to reflect the settings in the
table) which enables the user to change the bits used by the program. In this mode the
data is not requested from Argus via the network. This allows the user to completely
define the operation and look of Cerberus and test it on any computer.
The check boxes are minimally labelled but the function is in order of item number.
There is a spin edit which allows this machine to appear to be in any room for test
purposes.
To make the program operational just comment out TestMode with a ! and run the
program. If this is done on a machine not connected to the interlock network the
results will be undefined (and possible catastrophic).
Fully working example
An example of a fully working layout file (operating in test mode) is given below. The
usual way of setting up is to take an existing file, save it under a different name and
edit it to your requirement.
