10 Kramer Protocol 2000

The Kramer Protocol 2000 RS-232/RS-485 communication uses four bytes of information as defined below. All the values in the table are decimal, unless otherwise stated.

1st Byte:

Bit 7 – Defined as 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D – DESTINATION:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0 – Sends information to the switchers (from the PC)

1 – Sends information to the PC (from the switcher) N5…N0 – INSTRUCTION

The 6-bit INSTRUCTION defines the function performed by the switcher(s). If a function is performed using the

machine’s keyboard, these bits are set with the INSTRUCTION NO. performed. The instruction codes are defined according to the table below (INSTRUCTION NO. is the value set in N5…N0).

2nd Byte: Bit 7 – Defined as 1

I6…I0 – INPUT

When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit INPUT is set as the input number to be switched. If switching is done using the machine’s front panel, these bits are set with the INPUT NUMBER switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.

3rd Byte:

Bit 7 – Defined as 1

 

O6…O0 – OUTPUT

When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit OUTPUT is set as the output number to be switched. If switching is done using the machine’s front panel, these bits are set with the OUTPUT NUMBER switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.

4th Byte:

Bit 7

– Defined as 1

 

Bit 5

– Don’t care

OVR – Machine number override M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER

This byte is used to address machines in a system by their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled from a single serial port, they are usually configured together and each machine has an individual machine number. If the OVR bit is set, then all machine numbers accept (implement) the command and the addressed machine replies.

When a single machine is controlled over the serial port, always set M4…M0 to 1, and make sure that the machine itself is configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1.
