Projects for iRidium Server
This section describes work with iRidium Studio when creating projects for iRidium Server. iRidium Server processes data from automation equipment, saves them and sends the information to control panels. A server project does not have a graphic part - it is a set of scripts and a list of equipment you want to work with.
Create a new project for iRidium Server:
iRidium Studio > File > New > New Server Project
Workspace of Server Projects
After starting iRidium Studio and creating of Server Project you can see the workspace which consists of:
- Studio Settings
the drop-down lists from which you can access to editor settings: File, Project, Tools, Help, View
- Project Overview
moving between the input-output settings and server parameters
- I/O - in this section of your server project you will see server tags and driver tags
- Config - in this section you will see server settings
- Server tags
the list of variables from which the iRidium Server driver in the panel project will be formed. You van create virtual tags, not connected with real equipment (filling in is performed via scripts)
- Settings of server tags
the parameters of iRidium Server tags (name, size, saving data in the database, relations with JS functions, etc.)
- Driver tags (Driver Tags)
the equipment variables to which iRidium Server has to connect. All variables in this tab are projected on server tags. Via the server tags control panels get access to equipment
- Settings of driver tags
the parameters of drivers with which iRidium Server works. When creating a driver variable the server tag with the same name is created automatically
- Device Base
the storage of built-in iRidium drivers (products). It contains tools for creating drivers for users and additional databases of script drivers.
- GC Cloud (IR Database)
the database of IR commands for use with Global Caché converters
Project Overview
Project Overview enables you to move between the windows of server settings:
| Project Overview:
|
- I/O - the inputs/outputs; it opens server tags and driver tags for editing
- Config - the server project settings
|
Server Tags, Driver Tags (I/O)
The tab is opened when clicking on I/O in Project Overview
1. Virtual variables (Virtual) - переvariables where you can write any data received as a result of script work (numbers, strings, arrays). Virtual variables are available for changing from control panels.
- Virtual > Channels - the variables available for writing
- Virtual > Tags - the variables available for reading
2. Server Tags - variables which are formed automatically when adding controlled equipment to driver tags. Names of server tags correspond to the names of driver variables in driver tags
- Driver > Driver Tokens - the information about connection to equipment, reading only
- Driver > Commands - the variables available for writing
- Driver > Feedbacks - the variables available for reading
3. Settings of tags - they enable setting up virtual tags and server tags.
- settings for writing
- Name - the short name
- Full Name - the full name to refer from scripts
- Description - the description (optional)
- Script - to execute the JavaScript function without arguments every time the tag is activated
- settings for reading
- Name - the short name
- Full Name - the full name to refer from scripts
- Description - the description (optional)
- Store In DB - saving of all changed values in the database
- Access - the variable type: Public - it can be changed from control panels, Private - it can be changed only from the server
- Deadband - the change which will not be considered when building graphs on the basis of tag data. For example, if Deadband: 0.5, the change of the variable by 0.3 will not be displayed on the graph in the client application
- Script - to execute the JavaScript function without arguments every time the tag is activated
4. Driver Tags - equipment variables to which iRidium Server has to connect. All variables in this tab are automatically projected on server tags.
5. Settings of tags - they enable you to set up equipment variables controlled by the server. The settings are unique. They depend on the driver type the server works with.
Server Settings (Config)
The tab is opened when clicking on Config in Project Overview

- Login (under development) - the login for connection of control panels to the server
- Password (under development) - the password for connection of control panels to the server

- NOTICE - significant notice, application work is possible
- INFO - main information
- DEBUG - all information
Click Save in the lower part of the settings window to save the server settings.
JS Editor
It is a tool for creating programs in the Java Script language which will work on the server. The logic of server work is formed with the help of scripts. The server supports its own set of Java Script methods and properties.
open the editor of iRidium scripts
Device Base
It is a database of drivers, commands and script modules for controlling different equipment. All iRidium supported devices which you can use in your projects are stored here.
| Database tools:
|
|
|
Add – to add a driver from the database to the project. The adding is performed with the Drag&Drop method: drag the driver from the Device tab to the Project tab
|
|
Edit – to edit the database. It is a professional tool which allows you to create custom databases and change the existing ones. It cannot be used for the main iRidium database.
|
DataBase Editor
It is a tool for creating preset drivers, commands and channels on the basis of the AV & Custom Systems driver.
It is a professional tool which allows to set up control of any AV equipment, media server, converter or another device. More information in the data processing section.
Edit - to open the database editor
| Actions with databases:
|
|
New – to create a new database. It is used for professional setting up of equipment and creation of custom devices on the basis of the AV & Custom Systems driver
|
|
Attach – to add a new database in the list of GUI Editor
|
|
Detach – to remove the selected database from the list of GUI Editor
|
GC Cloud (IR Database)
GC Cloud is an online database of IR commands for the Global Cache driver.
Click "Update" to download the list of manufacturers and commands (connection to the Internet is required)
The database structure:
- Brands - equipment manufacturers п
- Device Types - equipment categories of the manufacturer
- Codesets & Commands - models and corresponding IR commands
Drag the folder with commands on the IR output of the Global Cache driver in your project. The commands are preset - you do not need to edit them:
Commands and folders can be moved from one IR output of GC modules to another by dragging.
Project encryption
Full encryption of projects (saving in the protected format)
iRidium projects (*.irpz, *.sirpz) can be saved in the protected format which will not allow other parties to get access to project editing, its settings and resources (icons, sounds, images, equipment channels).
Protected projects (*.pirpz, '*.psirpz) cannot be opened in Studio but they can be uploaded on control panels where the application will automatically unpack and start the interface.
Project encryption is an irreversible process. Files saved in the *.pirpz format cannot be turned back to *.irpz or edited. They can be only uploaded on control panels. Encrypted projects are saved together with the original ones. You can edit original projects only.
There are also means for protecting data inside *.irpz projects which work without encrypting the whole project:
Encryption of script files
You can limit iRidium Script viewing and editing by assigning an access password to it:
