AMX Precis SD instruction manual BCS Serial Control Protocol Third-Party Controllers

Overview & General Specifications

BCS Serial Control Protocol

The Precis SD can be controlled with an external serial controller that sends and receives ASCII characters via the CONTROL port. AMX AutoPatch has developed a command language, BCS (Basic Control Structure) protocol, for programming control operations and for diagnostic purposes. BCS commands can be entered into a terminal emulation program (such as, HyperTerminal) running on a PC. For information on BCS commands, see the BCS Protocol Instruction Manual

on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.

Third-Party Controllers

A third-party controller can also be attached to a Precis SD enclosure. If using a third-party controller, see the controller documentation for operating instructions.
