PS5580 RS232 and LAN Command Protocol

Command Protocol

Command Protocol Description

This document specifies the protocols used on the PS5580 RS232 and LAN
connectors.

Command Protocol

Communications Link

Communication between the host and the display can be either a standard RS232
connection or a standard LAN connection.

Communication Settings

The RS232 connections uses these settings:

• Straight-thru DB9 male-to-female cable

• 115200 baud rate

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity bit

• No HW (RTS/CTS or SW (XON/XOFF) flow control

The LAN connections is used by initiating a TCP connection to port 9761.

Directly Addressed Command Format

Commands that are sent to only one display are directly addressed commands.
Directly addressed commands and responses have the following format:

STX Command Length GroupID MultiID Mode Data Checksum ETX
SendtoDisplay 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte nbytes N/A 1byte
ReceivedfromDisplay 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte nbytes 1byte 1byte

PS5580 RS232 and LAN Command Protocol 1

Broadcast Command Format

Definition of terms in Directly Addressed Command Format table:

Broadcast Command Format

• STX is the ascii STX character (0x02).

• Command is the command code.

• Length is the number of bytes in the Group ID, Multi ID, Mode and Data fields.

• Group ID is the Group ID value in the display’s Option menu. A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.

• Multi ID is the Monitor ID value in the display’s Tiling menu.

• Mode selects whether the command is a Read command or a Write command.

• Read = 0x00

• Write = 0x02

• Data contains values specific to the selected command.

• Checksum is the one's complement of the following response fields: STX,
Command, Length, Group ID, Multi ID, Mode, Data (i.e. the sum of these fields
and the checksum field, modulo 256, will be 0xFF).

• ETX is the ascii ETX character (0x03).

Commands that are sent to all displays are broadcast commands. They have the this
format:

STX Command Length GroupID MultiID Data ETX

SendtoDisplay 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte nbytes 1byte

Definition of terms in Broadcast Command Format table:

• STX is the ascii STX character (0x02).

• Command is the command code.

• Length is the number of bytes in the Group ID, Multi ID and Data fields.

• Group ID is set to 0x00.

• Multi ID is set to 0x00

• Data contains values specific to the selected command.

• ETX is the ascii ETX character (0x03).

The displays do not send responses to broadcast commands.
