Panasonic WV-CS854B operating instructions RS485 Setup, Initial Camera Communication Parameters

For WV-RM70, hold down the right and left switches simultaneously for 2 seconds or more.

For WV-CU360C/CJ and WV-CU161C, hold down the [4] and [6] keys simultaneously for 2 seconds or more.

Data Bit (DATA BIT)

Specifies the number of data bits (7 or 8 bits) for the RS485 communication. The factory default setting is 8.

Parity Check (PARITY CHECK)

Specifies the parity check mode (NONE, ODD, EVEN). The factory default setting is NONE.

■RS485 Setup

●Initial Camera Communication Parameters

In an RS485 chain, the matrix switcher, PC, controllers and cameras should be set to the same protocol and parameters for communication. Confirm the system protocol and parameters prior to setting the communication parameters for the camera.

The initial communication parameters for WV-CS854B are shown on the RS485 setup menu below. Other than the on-screen setup parameters, the 4-bit DIP switch may be used to select 2-line (half duplex) or 4-line (full duplex) communication.

●Changing the Camera Communication Parameters

You can remotely control this camera by using a specified extension unit such as a computer with a modem.

1.Display SET UP MENU. Move the cursor to RS485 SET UP and press the CAM (SET) key. The RS485 SET UP menu appears on the monitor.

** RS485 SET UP **

UNIT NUMBER	1
SUB ADDRESS	1
BAUD RATE	19200
DATA BIT	8
PARITY CHECK	NONE
STOP BIT	1
XON/XOFF	NOT USE
WAIT TIME	OFF
ALARM DATA	AUTO2
DELAY TIME	OFF
RET

2.Move the cursor to the item and select the parameter with the joystick.

Unit Number (UNIT NUMBER)

Displays the unit number set by the DIP switch. If the switch is set to 1-96, select a number with the joystick. In an RS485 chain each unit must have a unique number.

Factory default setting: 1. See INSTALLATION for DIP switch setting.

Sub Address (SUB ADDRESS)

Do not set.

Baud Rate (BAUD RATE)

Specifies the transmission speed (2 400, 4 800, 9 600, 19 200 bit per second) for the RS485 communication. The factory default setting is 19 200.

Stop Bit (STOP BIT)

Specifies the number of stop bits (1 or 2 bits). The factory default setting is 1.

X ON/X OFF (X ON/X OFF)

Specifies whether to apply flow control or not (USE or NOT USE). The factory default setting is NOT USE.

Wait Time (WAIT TIME)

Specifies the time to wait until retrying after confirming that no data is received from the controller.

(OFF: no retry, 100, 200, 400, 1 000 ms).

Alarm Data (ALARM DATA)

Specifies the alarm transmission mode depending on the protocol selected by the 8-bit DIP switch.

POLLING: Transmits the alarm data in response to requests from the controller.

AUTO 1: Transmits the alarm data each time an alarm signal is received by the camera.

AUTO 2 (Default): Transmits alarm data at intervals of 5 seconds.

Delay Time (DELAY TIME)

Specifies the time to transmit the acknowledge request when communicating on a 2-line connection.

[----, 100 ms] Factory default setting: ---- (no set).

This menu appears only when a 2-line communication is used. Make sure to be 100 ms when connecting the camera with WJ-FS616 Video Multiplexer or Matrix Switcher WJ-SX350 in a 2-line communication system.

The settings become effective with the closing of SET UP MENU.

Note: Set the same parameters for the cameras, controllers and personal computers in an RS485 chain.
