PCinterface Overview

Control your Cue Light system from a PC or Show Controller

•

PC, Mac or show controller

Will work with any PC, Mac or hardware controller capable of sending ASCII characters via a RS232 or RS485 serial port. Trigger or cancel cues, configure Outstation features and more.

•

Cue Light Outstations and Masters

A single PCinterface can control from 1 to 6 Master Stations. Each 16 channel Master can control up to 40 Outstations giving a maximum of 240 Outstations across 96 channels. Buttons on the Master Station(s) remain operational while the PCinterface is connected allowing for manual ad hoc cues. Each Master requires its own wiring universe for its associated Outstations.

•

Command structure

All basic commands are 5 bytes long. Most commands can be typed from a keyboard using only ASCII characters. No Escape sequences or control characters are used. Return monitoring is provided in a choice of 2 different formats. Can be easily tested with any Terminal communications program.

Simple GUI mode

•

A simple command interface for use with touch screens. Each button on the Master Station has been assigned a number, and by using a single command, any button can be pressed or released.

PCinterface

QL-PCi mk4

Cue Sheet Command Format

•

A command interface for use with a Show Control system using a

pre-loaded cue list.

•

Configuration Data

Allows the Master Station(s) and all 3 types of Outstation to be remotely configured. e.g. Flashing/steady Go and Standby lamps, Standby lamp colour. Almost 40 different parameters can be changed. Configuration data can also be downloaded.

Return Monitoring

•

The status of every lamp on the Master Station(s) is returned to the Show Controller in a choice of two data formats.

•

Supports RS232 and 4 wire RS485

2,400 to 115,200 baud. It has a 500 byte FIFO buffer for incoming RS232/485 data.

[

These control Commands are used to control the Cue Light System during a performance.

Simple GUI command format. A simple command interface for touch screens. The touchscreen sends a command to the PCinterface when any touchscreen button is pressed or released. This toggles the function of that key (in the same manner that the buttons on the Master Station toggle on or off).

Cue Sheet command format. For use with a show control system with a pre-loaded cue list. The control system sends a command(s) to the PCinterface when the Next cue button is pressed. It either triggers or clears a Go or Standby command (if a cue is already triggered, it will remain triggered i.e. it does not toggle as in Simple GUI).

Configuration command format

•

Operate Command Header

Note

The mechanical buttons on the Master Station(s) remain 100% operational while the PCinterface is connected. This allows ad hoc cues to be given if needed. It also allows cues to be given when your show control system malfunctions.

Configuration Commands are usually used to configure the Cue Light System prior to a performance. Almost 40 different parameters can be changed in the Master Station(s) for all 3 types of Outstation. Configuration data can also be downloaded from the Master Station via the PCinterface to the PC/Show Controller.

•

Each 5 byte monitoring reply can be terminated by a special character.

There is a choice of 5 different termination characters chosen by the following command. This command configures the PCinterface and is remembered when the power is off. It does not require the X for eXecute as it is not uploaded to the Master Station. It will execute as soon as the 5th byte has been received.

The default terminator as shipped is none.

The characters may appear in data sent as part of the Simple GUI Reply and hence are not suitable choices for terminator characters intended to be read by a machine (PC). They are however ideal to aid in readability when data is displayed on a terminal program.

Any file can be copied to the PC/Show Controller.

The file is in the form of Configuration Commands for each channel, grouped by Function. The file is arranged in 4 sections covering configuration of Cue Light, Relay and Sensor Outstations; and the Master Station. These Configuration Commands and their format is exactly the same as those described in this document starting on page 26 so that the file can be copied, without change, back to the PCinterface to re/configure the system.

A Summary of Commands starting on page 71 may also be a handy.

A sample of a downloaded configuration follows. It is for Factory Default with Yellow Standby lamp for Master #1. It was created by sending {1MA7 to the PCinterface. As this command executes as soon as it is received, an X for eXecute is not required.

{NSOF ; Start of file ; Configuration file for Master number 1. File: Factory Default (Yellow S/by)

; Comments are prefixed with a semicolon ';' (3Bh) and end at the next 'Line Feed' (0Ah)

; 5 byte commands start with '{' and can be editied if needed. ; Byte 1: { Header ; Byte 2: Master number ; Byte 3: Channel number ; Byte 4: Function (e.g. S/by Colour) ; Byte 5: Value (e.g. Red/yellow)

Technical note

The PCinterface has a 500 byte FIFO (First In First Out) memory for receiving incoming RS232/485 commands. The FIFO allows commands to be received and stored even if the PCinterface is momentarily busy with other tasks. Incoming commands are read from the FIFO, processed and stored in a memory buffer until the letter X for eXecute is received. The data in the buffer is then uploaded to the Cue Light Master Station. This allows multiple commands to be uploaded to the Master Station at the same instant.

Spaces are not permitted except between each 5 byte command and/or the letter X.

Manual Reset to 9600 baud.

•

This is a debugging tool to reset the PCinterface to 9600 baud rate for those times when one loses control due to an incorrect baud rate setting.

The following procedure is not meant to be too simple because we do not want any unqualified fingers resetting the baud rate of the PCinterface once it has been installed.

•

Unplug the PCinterface from the Cue Light Master.

Press and hold the recessed Reset to 9600 baud button.

•

(A straightened out paper clip works well as a tool)

•

Plug the PCinterface into the Cue Light Master. The Tx and Rx lamps will both flash slowly for about 4 secs.

•

Release the Reset button as soon as the Tx and Rx lamps start to flash fast. They only flash fast for 500mS so the window of opportunity is small.

•

If successful, the Rx lamp will burn steady for 2 seconds and the PCinterface will now be running at 9600 baud. The new setting is saved when the power is off.

The default terminator as shipped is none.

The characters may appear in data sent as part of the Simple GUI Reply and hence are not suitable choices for terminator characters intended to be read by a machine (PC). They are however ideal to aid in readability when data is displayed on a terminal program.

Use } (125d), | (124d) or ~ (126d) as terminator characters to be read by a machine (PC) as they are not used within any commands.

Test comms to and from the PCinterface. The 5th byte ? can be any ASCII character of your choice. It is echoed back as part of the reply. If no reply is received, check that the Rx lamp winked when the command was sent. The Rx lamp will wink when any data is received, even if the baud rate and data format are wrong. This will help identify where any problem may lie. A reply is only sent when the {RC2? command is received in the correct data format (N81) and at the correct baud rate.

PCinterface Loop-back Test

The PCinterface has a built-in test mode. All you need to run it is a loop-back lead. When powered up, the PCinterface sends a heartbeat signal once per second. If this signal is fed back into the PCinterface, it enters the test mode. It works with any baud rate setting. Set the RS232/RS485 switch to which ever input you are using.

In the test mode, you will see the following -

On the PCinterface, both Tx & Rx lamps will blink together about

•

once per second.

On the Master Station, a single Group A lamp will light on a

•

channel (1-6) that corresponds with the address that the Master is set to. Every Master Station must be set to a different address.

Group B lamps slowly chase from channel 1 to 16.

What if it doesn’t work?

Here are a few things to check

Is the power turned on and all cables plugged in?

•

The Power lamp will wink about once per second. The Tx lamp will also wink once every second as the Heartbeat signal {RRH1 is sent out the serial port.

Is the RS232/RS485 switch in the correct position?

Output data is sent on both ports all the time. The switch only selects which port receives data.

Try a loop-back connector.

See page 66.

Can the PC/Show Controller see the Heartbeat signal?

Connect a terminal program (such as Hyperterm etc) to the serial port of the PCinterface and setup it up for N,8,1 with hand shaking off. Set the terminal program to 9600 baud. If characters other than {RRH1 are received, try other baud rates or reset the PCinterface to 9600 baud (See page 62)

Once the PC/Show Controller can see the Heartbeat signal, you should be able to send commands. Try the Test Comms command on page 66. This will test the serial link to/from the

PCinterface.

If no Outstations are connected, the following commands will turn all the Group A Lamps, on all Master Stations, on or off.

[

These commands must be followed by the letter X for eXecute. Once X has been received by the PCinterface, the commands are uploaded to the Master Station(s).

To/from the PC, Mac or Show Controller

Each Cue Light Master Station has two RJ12 Expansion Ports wired in parallel. The PCinterface connects to either of these Expansion Ports via a 6 core cable fitted with RJ12 connectors. Additional Masters, up to a total of six, can be daisy chained to the remaining Expansion Port. The RJ12 cable also provides power for the PCinterface from the Cue Light Master. The data lines in the RJ12 cable are RS485 running a proprietary protocol. The RJ12 cable has been tested to 100m (330 feet). A 2m (6.5 feet) long cable is provided with the PCinterface. The cable is of 6 core flat construction.

RS232 and RS485 connections are available. Both of these connectors are optically isolated from ground to reduce the possibility of ground loops between the PCinterface and the equipment to which they are connected. A switch next to the DB9 connector selects either RS232 or RS485. Baud rates of 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 are supported. Data format is N81. No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. No X-on/X-off software or hardware handshake is used. Transmit (return monitoring) data is sent on both ports all the time. The switch only selects which port is connected to the serial data receiver.

The PCinterface is wired as a DCE Null Modem. Use a standard straight through serial modem cable for connection to the PC. The female DB9 connector of the PCinterface unit receives data on pin 3 and transmits data on pin 2.

Use with ‘Dual Masters’.

If the Cue Light system is running with two Master Stations connected to the same universe, the PCinterface must be connected to the Main Master Station.

Connections

•

Computer configuration

Set the following data format and transmission rate for RS232 or RS485

* 1 start bit * 8 data bits * no parity * 1 stop bit * 9600 baud

Baud rate can be changed once communications have been established at 9600 baud. The new setting is saved when the power is off.

•

RS232 Serial Cable

Use a fully wired straight through DB9 modem serial cable. A suitable fully wired cable is supplied with the PCinterface. Officially, the maximum length for RS232 cables is 15 metres (50 feet), but in practice greater lengths usually work satisfactorily.

The following signals are used for data transmission.

RS485 Serial Connection

The RS485 RJ45 connector can be wired using CAT5/6 cable. This cable must not be connected to any Ethernet (Internet) system. The colours shown are only a suggestion. Pins 4 and 5 (transmit data) must use the same coloured pair. Pins 7 and 8 (receive data) must use the same coloured pair. The remaining 2 pairs are Isolated ground.

PCinterface

The can be connected to a USB port using a USB-RS232 adaptor cable. Some budget USB/RS232 cables are not fully compliant and may not work correctly, if at all. The “US232B 1m Converter Cable” made by FTDI have been tested and do work correctly. See http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBRS232.htm
