Connecting RS232 Communication

Wiring the adapter

To go from 9-pin D-sub serial connector on
the back of the computer to an RJ45
connector, use a standard RJ45-to-9-pin
adapter. Wire it internally as shown. The
wiring shown for this adapter is correct for
straight-through cables. Straight-through
cables are wired 1-to-1, 2-to-2, etc.

Connecting RS232 Communication

RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control tiles
from a computer at a distance. If your installation will not use RS232 control, skip this
section.

Everything you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232 commands. Plus, you
can send inquiries to the tiles and find out the current settings and values.

RS232 connections are made with cables like Ethernet straight-through cables. This is
the common type of LAN connection cable sometimes called a Cat 5 cable.

Note: It is important that the RJ-45 cable has “straight through” connections. To see if your

cable is correct, hold the two connectors side by side with the ends pointing in the same
direction. Look at the sides of the connectors that do not have the locking tab. If the colors of
the wires inside the connectors are the same left to right for both connectors, this is the
correct cable. If the colors are mirror reflections of each other, it is the wrong type.

You need an adapter to go from the computer’s 9-pin serial output connector to an
RJ-45 connector. Adapters of this type are readily available at computer and
electronic supply stores. The adapter is not pre-wired. You will make three
connections inside the adapter, as described below.

2 RS232 Control

You will only need one adapter; all the rest of the connections will be RJ-45 to RJ-45
using the RS485 In and Out connectors. RS485 is used after the first tile because the
signal it carries is more reliable and less disturbed by electrical interference.

1 Connect the 9-pin adapter to the serial output connector of the controlling

computer. (This computer does not have to be the same one as the computer
used as a picture source.) The serial output is sometimes called the Comm Port,
and sometimes there is more than one.

Note: Some computers have an RS485 output. You can connect this directly into the nearest

tile’s RS485 In connector.

2 Connect this first tile’s RS485 Out connector to the next tile’s RS485 In connector.

How to Form Commands

How to Form Commands

Basic Rules

• RS232 commands consist of a string of ascii characters.

• All numeric values are decimal; you do not need to use hex or binary digits in the
commands.

• Spaces or tabs may be used in the commands to separate the parts and make
them easier for humans to read. This “white space” is ignored by the command
reader in the Runco WindowWall.

• You cannot use commas, slashes, or other punctuation as separators. Periods
have a special purpose in commands.

• Commands are not case sensitive, so you can use upper and lower case letters as
you wish, EXCEPT the first two letters of every command must be both upper or
both lower case. After that, it doesn’t matter.

• When a command requires a response, wait for the response before sending
another command to another tile.

• All commands must end with a carriage return character, shown as [CR] in the rest
of this document. Depending on your serial communications program,
commands may automatically be ended with a [CR]. If you are uncertain whether
your application automatically does this, send a test command such as ky 00
menu without a [CR]. If the menu displays on screen, you will not need to insert a
[CR]. If nothing happens, you will need to add a [CR] at the end of each
command.

Types of Commands

Key Commands

Key commands simulate pressing a key on the remote control. This is not very useful
unless you can see the screen, because you won’t know where the selector is in the
menu.

Operation Commands

Tip: Operation commands are more flexible and easier to use than Key commands

Operation commands tell the tile exactly what to do.

• Set green in the white color balance to 27

• Save the current settings into memory slot 23

• Recall memory slot 7

Operation commands can ask questions and get answers, such as:

• What is the state of the backlights? (on, off, failed, etc.)

• Which connector is used if memory slot 3 is recalled?

4 RS232 Control

String Commands

String commands send strings of characters to the tile.

String commands can also retrieve information from the tile. For instance,

ST A1 BUILD.DATE? [CR]

returns the build date of the firmware:

ST A1 BUILD.DATE= "JUN 15 2009 08:48:24"

Addresses in Commands

All commands must be addressed. Each tile has a two-character ID that is unique to
it. The first character is A-P and the second character is 1-4. The first character is
called the Group ID, and the second one is the Unit ID. The Group ID is the Quad
Input Manager Module address and the Unit ID is the processor on that module.

• Commands can be addressed to individual tiles: A1, B2, C3, D4. When this form

of address is used, the tile will respond to the host computer.

How to Form Commands

Note: Whenever a command is sent to an individual ID, wait for the response before

sending a second command.

• Commands can be addressed to all tiles: **

• Commands can be addressed to a group of tiles: *4 (all tiles with 4 as the Unit ID),

A* (all tiles with A as the Group ID).

Command Structure

All commands start with two letters:

OP or op for operations commands (but not Op or oP)

KY or ky for key commands (but not Ky or kY)

ST or st for string commands (but not St or sT)

The next two characters are the address.

The next section of the command is the operation, the remote key, or the string, the
main part of the command telling the tile what to do.

A few commands have a ‘target.’ For example, to adjust white balance, you must state
which color to change: red, green, blue, or all. Or to determine whether a memory
slot is empty, you must target the memory slot number. The target is always in
(parentheses).

RS232 Control 5

How to Form Commands

The next character is the command function symbol. There are five function symbols:

Function Symbol Action on the tile

Set = Makes the tile take that value

Get ? Asks what the value is

Increment + Adds 1 to the current value

Decrement – Subtracts 1 from the current value

Execute [none] Performs an action, such as a reset

• Some commands are Execute only, such as resetting the lamp hours.

• Others are Set and Get only, such as setting the pattern or asking what the
pattern is.

• Some are Get only, such as getting the horizontal frequency of the source.

• And some are Set, Get, Increment, Decrement, such as color balance.

• The last part of the command, for Set commands only, is the value. The value
may be a number or one or two words.

Sample Operation Commands

Command Example

op A3 auto.position.disable = DISABLED [CR]

1

Disable the auto position

Explanation

feature in tile A3

op G4 auto.position.disable ? [CR]

Is the auto position feature
enabled or disabled in tile G4?

op A* brightness + [CR]

Increment the brightness in all
tiles with Group ID A

op ** window.reset.size [CR]

Makes all the Zoom and
Viewport settings return to the
default values.

op A1 center.point (red) ? [CR]

What is the value for the red
pixel at the center (sampling)
point in tile A1?

1

The command line must always end with a carriage return character, noted in the exam­ples above as [CR]. The Runco WindowWall will not act on the command unless the last
character is a carriage return character (ascii hex value: 0D).

Using the Operation Commands Table

Using the Operation Commands Table

The Operation Commands table starts on page 19.

Operations and Operation Numbers

The commands are listed in alphabetical order by Operation. In a command, you may
use either the ascii text of the operation or its Operation Number. For instance, to
get the tile power, all these commands are equivalent:

op A3 display.power ? [CR]

opA3display.power? [CR]

op A3 1094 ? [CR]

opA31094? [CR]

OP A3 dIsplAy.Power ? [CR]

Tar g et

If the Target column has anything in it, the command must use one (and only one) of
the targets, and it must be in parentheses. Use either the ascii text or the Target
Number. These are equivalent commands:

opa2 center.point (red) ? [CR]

opa21110(0)? [CR]

8 RS232 Control

Command Types Allowed

Use only the types listed in the first column.

Symbol Meaning Example Result

Using the Operation Commands Table

= Set tells the tile to

take the value
that follows

? Get asks for the

value

+ Increment increments the

value

– Decrement decrements the

value

op A* white.balance (all) = 100
[CR]

op A1 contrast ? [CR]

op ** gray.balance(red) + [CR]

op ** white.balance(green) – [CR]

All tiles with a Group ID
of A (and Unit ID of
anything) will set their
white balance levels for
red, green and blue to
their maximum of 100

Tells tile A1to send the
value of contrast to the
host computer. Note
that the tile will only
respond if it is addressed
individually.

Makes all the tiles
increase their Gray
Balance value by one.
Note that any tile whose
value is already at the
top (in this case 15) will
not increase it.

Makes all the tiles
decrease their White
Balance value by one.
Any tile that had a white
balance of 1 before the
decrement will not
change.

[none] Execute means the

command is
executed. No
character
follows the
command (or
the Target, if it
has one)

Note: Any word or character or phrase that appears between [square brackets] is for

information or clarification only. It is not sent to the tile or received from it.

op ** slot.save (0) – [CR]

RS232 Control 9

Saves slot 1 to memory.

Using the Operation Commands Table

Values

The Value may be sent as text or as a value number.

Text values can be sent in upper or lower case or with mixed case. They are listed in
UPPER CASE in the table to make it easier to see the difference between the value
and any [explanation].

[varies] means the range of acceptable values and replies varies with the type of
source.

Reading the Response

Two commands establish the features of the replies. (Remember the tiles only reply
when individually addressed.)

ascii.eol determines the End Of Line character the tile will send at the end of
every command.

ascii.response determines how you want the replies to look when they come
back to you.

• Symbolic means the replies will come back as ascii characters, if the value
column allows them.

• Numeric means that the Value Number will come back

• Data means that only the value is returned, not the preceding information

The following table shows examples of each setting for ascii.response and
three possible responses:

Command Sent Response Explanation

op A1 ascii.response = symbolic [CR] OPA1ASCII.RESPONSE=SYMBOLIC

op A1 pattern ? [CR] OPA1PATTERN=BLACK

The tile received the
command and has set the
response type to symbolic
and replies will be ascii
characters

The current test pattern is
black.

Using Key Commands

Key commands always start with ky or KY. There are two kinds of key commands,
command word and numeric equivalent commands.

Command Word Key Commands

Command word key commands simulates pressing a button on the remote. For
example, the command:

ky A1 menu [CR]

simulates pressing the menu button. All the other named buttons on the remote
control can be “pressed” in this manner by using the name on the remote. This
picture shows the command for each named key:

Note: Keep in mind that you need to point the remote towards where the IR sensor is

mounted.

Using Key Commands

Numeric Equivalent Commands

Numeric equivalent commands also simulate pressing a remote button. For example,
the command:

ky A1 r43 [CR]

simulates pressing the MENU key on the remote. All the keys have “R” numbers
associated with them, even keys that don’t exist on the real remote.

In the illustration below, the white buttons don’t exist on the remote, and the shaded
buttons contain the command key equivalent:

Examples of Operation Commands

Recalling Memories

Remember: The slot target number used in the command is one less than the memory
slot number as seen in the menus. For example, to recall memory slot #40, in
commands you’d specify slot.target = 39. Likewise, to recall the first slot,
you’d specify slot.target = 0.

Recalling Memories Directly

Use slot.recall ( ). Put the memory number (minus 1) in the parentheses.
What is the difference between slot.recall.target and slot.target?
Assume that memory slots #1, #2, and #6 are used (full). Memory slots #3, #4, and #5
all the others are empty, as shown in the illustration below:

1 2345678

Examples of Operation Commands

The following series of example commands show the difference between
slot.target and slot.recall.target and which memory slot the
command is pointing to.

op A1 slot.target = 3 [CR]

1 2345678

▲

op A1 slot.action (save) [CR]

1 2345678

▲

op A1 slot.target = 4 [CR]

This sets the memory slot to #4 in tile A1. Any further
commands that need a memory slot will use this one
until it is changed.

This saves all the current settings into memory
slot #4 with the default memory name.

This sets the memory slot to #5, which is empty.

1 2345678

▲

RS232 Control 15

Examples of Operation Commands

op A1 slot.action (recall) [CR]

This action fails, because there is nothing in
slot #5. Nothing happens to the picture on
the screen; it does not change.

1 2345678

▲

op A1 slot.recall.target = 5 [CR]

Sets the memory slot to #6.

1 2345678

▲

op A1 slot.action (recall) [CR]

This recalls slot #6 because the target was
set to #6 in the previous command.

1 2345678

▲

op A1 slot.action (recall) [CR]

Recalls settings from memory slot #1.

16 RS232 Control

Asking (Get) and Telling (Set)

To ask about a value or condition, use a question mark [ ? ]. No character should
follow the question mark. To set a value or condition, use an equal sign [ = ]. A value
must follow the equal sign.

Types of Responses

Response from the tile can be Symbolic (mostly text), Numeric (mostly numbers), or
Data.Whenever a command is sent to an individual ID, wait for the response before
sending a second command.

Data Response Examples

Explanation

Would get the Symbolic response

Text in responses are all caps, regardless of what you sent.

Explanation

Would get the Numeric response

Notice that you can send commands as text and get the
response as numeric. 1037 is the Operation Number for
auto.lamp, and 0 means Disabled. It works the other way,
too. Ask the question with all numbers and get a text
response, if ascii.response is set to Symbolic.

Command and Respond

Examples

op A1 auto.lamp ? [CR]

0

Would get the Data response

You get only the answer and only in numeric form. This is
used mainly when a sequence of commands is sent and
the data is acted upon by the program. For instance, the
program might query each tile as to its lamp state, on or
off, then send a Lamp On command to just those tiles that
are off.

Note: Remember: tiles only respond when they are individually addressed. If you want to

know a status or a value in six different tiles, you must ask the question six times, and you
must wait for the response from each tile before sending the question to the next one.

18 RS232 Control

Explanation

19

An index follows the table that lists all the entries, plus other names for the entries. For instance, “memory” in the index will
lead to “slot,” which is the name used in the commands to refer to memory numbers. All commands are Operation commands
which should start with “op”, except those marked with [ST] which are String commands.

For String commands, use the form “ST -- build.date ?” without the quotes, and substitute the unit ID for the -- . There is
no target for string commands.

position discovered at the sen-

sors. If the panel is removed

from the array (as in service

mode) this position will be 1,1. If

no tile is connected, the last

known position will be used. If

there was never a connected

tile, 254 will be returned.
Target 4 returns the position that

has been stored after the last

MATRIX.LAYOUT command

and is the one used for subse-

quent MATRIX.ROUTE.QCON-

Troubleshooting Serial Connections

There are many small details involved in getting an entire wall or group of tiles to
communicate over a serial link. By starting with simple commands you can ensure all
these details are in place before moving on to more complex control. If you are
setting up a wall or group of tiles for the first time, follow these steps for easy setup. If
you have problems later, you can refer to the troubleshooting flowcharts starting on
page 53 as necessary.

Setup

1 Connect the RS232 cable from the computer to the RS232 In connector of Quad

Input Manager Module A. Connect the out connector of that tile, to the In
connector of the next tile and so on until all tiles are connected.

2 Each tile in the wall has a unique ID. The tile’s group ID is the ID of the Quad Input

Manager Module to which it’s connected (A-P). The tile’s unit ID is the output
number to which it is connected (1-4).

Troubleshooting Serial Connections

3 Set the baud rate of the host computer to 19200. If this is not possible, set the

4 Open a program on the host that allows you to easily type commands. Serial Talk,

baud rate of each tile to match the baud rate of the host computer. The baud rate

the computer, communication will not happen.

available from our website, is one such program. Be sure you know how to send a
carriage return character with whatever program you are using. All commands to
the tiles must end in a carriage return. The rest of this document will use Serial
Talk syntax in the examples.

a If yes, go on to send individual commands.

b If none of the tiles responded, go to Global Command to First Tile on page 53.

c If the first tile went red, but one or more of the others didn’t, go to Global

Command to Subsequent Tiles on page 54.

RS232 Control 51

Troubleshooting Serial Connections

Individual Command

1 For each tile in the wall, send the command op A1 pattern=blue ^M,

substituting each tile’s ID in turn.

2 Did each tile turn blue when commanded?

a If not, check that you typed the ID correctly to match the tile.

3 Did you receive an echoed response back each time?

a If not, go to Response From Individual Tiles on page 55.

Data Query

1 Send a command which asks for information to each tile in turn. For example, op

A3 lcd.position(row)? ^M

2 Did each tile return its row in the WindowWall?

a If not, go to Response From Individual Tiles on page 55.

Troubleshooting Useful Commands

If you are trying to send a particular command and are having trouble, first make sure
you have established the wiring and settings are correct by using the simple
commands suggested above. After you have established that, the problem is
probably in the command itself.

If a tile doesn't respond to a particular command, look at the “Commands Received”
number. If it doesn't increase by one, the tile didn't understand the command.
Double check the spelling and syntax. Be sure to start operations with op or OP, not
oP or Op. Be sure to end with a ^M.

If the Commands Received increases but the tile didn't respond, it may be in a state
where it cannot respond at this time, or it may have invalid data. Try sending the
command with an individual (not global) address, and watch the response. If it sends
a NAK, it wasn't able to carry out the command. For example, you can't change the
brightness unless you have a valid source. It will also send a NAK if the data is out of
range. For example, you can't set the brightness to 1000. If it sends an ERR, it didn't
understand the command. Perhaps it is spelled wrong, or you are trying a command
that is not valid on this product.

52 RS232 Control

Do you see your
command echoed
on the bottom
line of menu A1?

Is there a 13 at the
end of the decimal
display (second to
last line of the
menu)?

Is the command
spelled correctly?

Does the bytes
received number
increase when you
send a command?

Send a carriage return. Then
resend the command with a
carriage return at the end of it.

Resend the command with the
correct spelling.

Check that the first two
characters are the same case
(OP or op) not (Op or oP)

Do the UART framing
errors number
increase when you
send a command?

Check the wiring of connectors
and adapters. Be sure the
ground is connected.

Does the baud rate of
the tile match the
baud rate of the host?

Set the baud rate on either the
host or the tile so they match.

Check the wiring of connectors
and adapters.

Check the connection of the
serial cable.

Check that the program is
using the correct serial port.

Check that the cable is connected to the
RS232 In connection on tile A (not on
the RS485 connector).

Global Command to First Tile

RS232 Control 53

Troubleshooting Serial Connections

Open the Serial Port Status menu
on all tiles. Send a global
command from the host.

Do you see one
tile not
responding when
other tiles on the
same Quad Input
Manager Module
do respond?

You r Quad Inp ut Ma nag er
Module may be defective.

Check the RS485 cabling to the
Quad Input Manager Module.

Try a smaller group of Quad
Input Manager Modules. If a
module is bad, it could prevent
any tiles from getting the
message. If you suspect a bad
module, get a small group
working and then add tiles to
the chain one at a time.

Global Command to Subsequent Tiles

54 RS232 Control

Response From Individual Tiles

Do you see your
query on the bottom
line of the menu of
the tile in question?

Does the
commands
received number
increase on the
tile?

Go to troubleshooting a global
command chart.

Check for a carriage return on
the command.

Check the spelling of the
command.

Check that each Quad Input Manager
Module is set to a unique ID. If two tiles try
to respond, the message will be garbled.

Yes

Yes

No

No

Open the RS232 Serial Port Status menu on

all tiles. Send a query command from the

host to an individual tile.

Check that the first two
characters are the same case
(OP or op) not (Op or oP).

Does the
commands sent
number increase
on the tile?

No

Yes

Check the wiring of the RS232
connectors and adapters. The Tx line to
the host may not be making connection.

Does the Last Packet
Address say “This
Cube Alone”?

Check the address. Only
addresses with no * in them
will be answered.

No
