1. Getting Started

This manual describes commands which control communication camera VC-C50i through RS-232C interface from host computer.

Before reading this manual, it is recommended to read operation manual of VC-C50i.

CAUTION: VC-C50i/VC-C50iR Pan/Tilt operational durability is guaranteed for 100K cycles. In case of the continuous operation by the program such as Auto Pan Tilt system, & etc., it is important not to overdrive the said value (100K).

VC-C50i VC-C50i

Use the supplied connector to connect the COM port on the host computer with the RS-232C terminal on the VC-C50i host side using a RS-232C dedicated cable. For operation of multiple connected VC-C50i units, connect a RS-232C dedicated cable to the OUT side (next camera side) of the first VC-C50i unit's RS-232C terminal and to the IN side (host side) of the second VC-C50i unit's RS-232C terminal. Three or more units are connected in the same way, and up to nine VC-C50i units can be connected.

If a Cascade ON command is issued when multiple VC-C50i units are connected, the device

numbers of the connected VC-C50i units are set as 1, 2, 3, and so on, starting from the host computer side. If the VC-C50i is used as a single unit, there is no need for connections of a second or more units.

3. Communication Format

3.1 Signal Format

RS-232C Conformity Connector & Pin assignment of connector are referred to 2.2 Transmission Mode : Half Duplex (Full duplex for notification) Transfer Speed : 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200bps. (selected through menu window) Data Bit : 8 bit Parity : None Stop Bit : 1 bit or 2 bit (selected through menu window) Handshake : RTS/CTS Control Others : One Acknowledge per command

RS-232C level Definitions ON : +5V to +15V OFF : –5V to –15V

3.2 Understanding

The followings are described based on the signal from the computer terminal (RS-232C).

• The flow is controlled by RTS/CTS terminal control.

• When the VC-C50i is ready to receive control commands, the CTS line of the computer is ON. And as long as VC-C50i is turned on, the CTS line is always ON because VC-C50i is ready to receive the control commands.

• In case of starting the communication from the computer, the RTS line of computer must be ON.

• After receiving the answer corresponding to the control command, the next control commands will be ready to transmit. Before transmitting the answer corresponding to the control command, VC-C50i cancels the received code, in case of receiving the next control commands.

• In case of not receiving the answer to the computer, the RTS line of the computer must be OFF. In this case, VC-C50i will suspend to issue the answer. If VC-C50i, however, suspends more than one second, the issue of the answer will be forced to stop and VC-C50i returns to the receiving status.

• In case of using the notification functions, the communication format must correspond to full duplex. There are some cases for VC-C50i to issue the notification data, while the computer issues the commands.

• The standard waiting time of the answer is 300ms. If VC-C50i does not return the answer more than 300ms, there must be some errors.

• Note that VC-C50i is unable to execute remote control and communication control at a one time. After turn on, VC-C50i is under the condition of remote control. If the communication control is

required, Host Control Mode command or Cascade ON command must be issued. Note that

the VC-C50i can not shift the remote control status to the host communication control mode during menu processing.

4. Control Command Format

This format is to transmit from the computer to VC-C50i.

Header Device Num Command Parameter End mark

Header : 1 byte FFh Device Num : 2 byte 3030h~3039h (Device number in cascade connection)

Command : 2 byte (refer to 12. Details of Pedestal Control Commands ~ 14. Details of System Control Commands)

Parameter : Variable length If not specified, parameter manifests hexadecimal, transmits its ASCII code. End mark : 1 byte EFh

Just after power on, device number is 3030 and each device number is determined by Cascade ON control command.

The control command (Global Command) of device number 3030 became valid to all VC-C50i

connected in Cascade ON status.

5. Answer Format

5.1 Answer Format

This answer format corresponds to the control command transmitted from the computer to VC-C50i.

Header Device Num Error Code Status End mark

Header : 1 byte FEh Device Num : 2 byte 3030h~3039h (Device number in cascade connection) Error Code : 2 byte manifested error flag In hexadecimal and return it's ASCII code. Status : Variable length If not specified, status manifests hexadecimal, transmits its ASCII code. End mark : 1 byte EFh

Under the condition in Cascade Connection ON, the answer corresponding to control

command of device number 3030, is returned only to the last device connected in cascade.

5.2 Error Code

Error code manifests error flag in hexadecimal and returns it’s ASCII code. If not exists error, all bits of error flags are cleared and becomes zero.

• The bit assignment of error flag.

1st byte b7: Mode Error In case of wrong mode b6: Parameter Error In case of receiving wrong parameter b5: Command Error In case of receiving wrong command b4: Busy In case of unable to execute by error

2nd byte b3: System Reservation Always zero b2: System Reservation Always zero b1: System Reservation Always zero b0: System Error In case of the fatal error to the system

The details of error flags are described as below.

Busy : VC-C50i is unable to execute the commands in process to execute the former

command. : In case of generating Command Error, Parameter Error, Mode Error or System Error.

Command Error : In case of receiving the wrong commands (not prepared commands). Parameter Error : In case of over value of parameter or wrong parameter length. Mode Error : In case of receiving the command unable to execute under VC-C50i during the receiving status. System Error : In case that the fatal accidents occur for some reason.

CAUTION

• If the device number is wrong, its control command code will be ignored.

• By Operation Status Request, the cause of error can be found.

• The error check will be executed by the following priority order. (1) Mode Error (2) Command Error (3) Parameter Error, Busy VC-C50i sets the error flag corresponding to any, after the detection of error, and returns the answer, then multiple error flags can’t be set. Busy, however, is exceptional and set, whenever any of Command Error, Parameter Error, Mode Error or System Error occurs.

Example: Wrong command to be transmitted.

1st byte b7 = 0, b6 = 0, b5 = 1, b4 = 1 b3 = 0, b2 = 0, b1 = 0, b0 = 0

3h → 33h 0h → 30h (Hexadecimal indication → ASCII code conversion)

Note: When the command errors occur and unable to execute, busy flag and command error flag will be set at the 1.

5.3 Status

In case of having received status request command, this status adds status value to the

answer. The details of Operation Status Request command and status value are described later. (Refer to 14. Details of System Control Commands) The Operation Status Request will accept the command, if not host control mode.

2nd byte

6. Function of Command Termination Notification

6.1 Function In General

Among the control commands of VC-C50i, the executive format type 2 has the function of

the termination notification at the time terminated to executed. (the details of executive format

refers to 10. Classification of Command) The termination notification to be admitted or

forbidden will be executed by the ON/OFF command of the termination notification.

Note 1 : After just turn on, the function of command termination notification is set under the condition of forbidden status. Note 2 : In case of using this function, the software of computer must correspond to full duplex, in order to be able to receive the termination notification data, even if the computer issues the commands. Note 3 : The RTS line must be always ON, in order not to forbid the transmission of notification

data during the flow control.

Note 4 : The details of the communication timing are referring to 3.3 Communication Timing

Diagram.

6.2 Format of Command Termination Notification

Before the time to terminate the execution, the data format from VC-C50i to the computer is configured as shown below.

Header Device Num Command Parameter End mark

Header : 1 byte FAh Device Num : 2 byte 3030h~3039h (Device number in cascade connection.) Command : 2 byte Command at the time of the operation terminated. Parameter : Variable length Parameter at the time of the operation terminated. End mark : 1 byte EFh

Under the status of Cascade ON, the command termination notification will be returned

from each device, corresponding to the control command of Device Num. 3030. (device number 3031~3039)

7. Cascade Global Notification

7.1 In General

In case of using VC-C50i connected in cascade, the global commands (Device number 3030h) can execute the identical operation to all VC-C50i connected in cascade. But the only last device will return the answer to the computer. In case of the cascade global notification function admitted and global command issued, the only error information integrated among the answer information of VC-C50i is notified to the computer.

Note 1 : After just turn on, the function of command termination notification is of setting the

forbidden status. Note 2 : In case of using this function, the software of computer must correspond to full duplex, in order to be able to receive the termination notification data, even if the computer issues the commands. Note 3 : The RTS line must be always ON, in order not to forbid the transmission of notification

data during the flow control.

Note 4 : The details of the communication timing are referring to 3.3 Communication Timing

Diagram.

7.2 Format of Cascade Global Notification Data

Before the time to terminate the execution, the data format from VC-C50i to the computer is configured as shown below.

Header Device Num Notification Code End mark

9. Function of Remote Control

9.1 In General

The ON/OFF status of remote control can be monitored by the computer.

By Remote Control Through command ON, VC-C50i is in the status of through mode and

notify the status of ON/OFF to the computer. If the control mode is set to remote through ON by host control, the VC-C50i sends the status corresponding to the pressed key directly to the computer side without performing any operation for any received remote control code. If the control mode is set to remote through ON by remote control, the VC-C50i performs the operation corresponding to the received remote control code, and then sends the status to the computer side.

Note 1 : After just turn on, the function of remote control is of setting the status OFF. Note 2 : In case of using this function, the software of computer must correspond to full duplex, in order to be able to receive the remote control through data, even if the computer issues the commands. Note 3 : The RTS line must be always ON, in order not to forbid the remote control through data

during the flow control.

Note 4 : The details of the communication timing are referring to 3.3 Communication Timing

Diagram.

9.2 Data Format of Remote Control Through

At the time to receive remote control data, the data format from VC-C50i to the computer is configured as shown below.
