Serial Communications, Examples, Hex | Runco XP-50, XP-65 guide

6. Serial Communications

To interface the CinemaWall with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-5.Use a straight-through cable.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows:

•9600 baud

•No parity

•Eight (8) data bits

•One (1) stop bit

•No flow control

Serial commands to the CinemaWall take the following form:

•You can send commands in either hexadecimal or ASCII format.

•ASCII commands are case-sensitive and must be in UPPERCASE.

•Commands begin with the “Start of Text” (STX) character (02h or <Ctrl> B in ASCII), followed by the command data, the colon character (3Ah or : in ASCII), command parameter (1 to 6 bytes; refer to Table 6-1)and the “End of Text” (ETX) character (03h or <Ctrl> C in ASCII). Not all commands require parameters to be sent with them; examples of such commands are PON (power on), POF (power off) and IMS (toggle input selection).

•You do not need to send a carriage return after the command.

•When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for a response to the first command to come from the CinemaWall before sending the next command.

•When you send a valid command, the CinemaWall executes it and echoes the command (without the parameter) back to the controller.

•If you send an invalid command, the CinemaWall sends ER401 back to the controller.

To select the PC input, send the following sequence:

	STX	Command (3 bytes)			Parameter (3 bytes)	ETX

Hex	02	49	4D 53	3A	50 43 31	03

ASCII	<Ctrl> B	I	M S	:	P C 1	<Ctrl> C

To set the Picture Level (contrast) to its highest possible level (+30), send the following sequence:

	STX	Command (3 bytes)			Parameter (6 bytes)					ETX

Hex	02	56	50 43	3A	50	49 43	30	33	30	03

ASCII	<Ctrl> B	V	P C	:	P	I C	0	3	0	<Ctrl> C
