1 Set up

This document describes how to interface the SIM2 D60 projector with a Home Theater control system (or
a PC running terminal emulation software) over a direct serial connection.

Follow these steps to configure the control system (or the PC) serial port.

• Switch off the control system (or the PC) and the projector. D60RS232

• Connect the Serial Communication cable that you have purchased from your SIM2 dealer (Part number:

D60RS232). It is a D-sub 9-pin female to Mini DIN 8-pin male cable, 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) long.

• If using extension cables, make sure the distances between equipment do not exceed the specifications
of the interface (15 meters or 50 feet).

• Switch on the control system (or the PC) and, after start up, switch on the projector.

• Set the Serial Port Parameters as shown in the Table below.

• Make sure the control system interface (or the PC communication program) does not add termination
characters to the commands it sends (check control system or PC communication program Settings).

• Set the control system interface (or the PC communication program) Display Mode to ASCII.

Transfer rate is configurable. Default baud rate is 115200 bps. Serial Command ’RS232 baud rate’ (See Section 2) can

set the Transfer Rate to the following values: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps.

2 Commands

In this section, serial commands (and respective responses) are listed.

Serial commands to the SIM2 D60 have the following features:

• ASCII format. In the following, commands are shown in monospace (fixed-width) type (for example:
X001X).

• Case-insensitive. For example, X001X and x001x are both valid commands.

• No termination character required. Do not add <LF>, <CR>, <EOT> or the like at the end of the

given series of characters.

If the command is invalid, the SIM2 D60 echoes the command and does nothing else.

If the command is valid:

• Command is echoed.

• Command is executed.

• A confirmation message is sent. Its format is:

X0 aaaX or Z0 aaa+bbZ,

where the command number aaa may be one, two or three digit long and does not have leading zeros
and the value number bb is two digit long and may have leading zeros.

• Termination characters <CR> and <LF> are sent.

The Power On command (X001X) response is an exception because it consists of the sole confirmation
message, without command echo and termination characters.

Z009W+0002Z Z009W+0002ZZ0 9+02Z<CR><LF>

When sending several commands one after the other, sufficient time between commands should be allowed.
Please note that:

• If the projector is busy when a command is sent, the unit may not accept the command.

• Command execution time may vary from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds, depending on the operation that have

been requested.

When the unit is switched on from Standby, wait 20 seconds before sending commands.

The following tables list commands with their respective responses.
