14. IP Connect Serial Protocol

a. This serial command protocol is essentially the same for all console channels (a) TELNET via TCP/IP (2 ports 3001) (b) HTTP via port 80 FORMAT The stream is made up of messages. A message consists of 1 to 80 printable ascii characters followed by and end of message. An end of message is one or more of CR and LF optionally combined with any number of delimiters. A message is made up of unsigned numerical value fields in decimal format separated by one or more delimeters. A delimiter is any single or combination of space, comma or tab. Examples of valid messages to the IP Connect module are given below. All these messages have the same meaning. 1,3,45 1,3,45 1,3,45 ,1,3,45 1,3,45, 1,3,,45, 1,3, 45, 1,3,45,, , 01,3,45 000000001,3,45 1 3 45 1, 3, 45 A message is not a valid message if It contains more than 80 characters before an end of message character is received. It contains a character that is not ,,,,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,”,”. A numerical field exceeds 65535 It contains more than 10 fields If a packet is determined to be not a valid message it is ignored. If a message is determined to be invalid before the end of message is ignored then all characters received are ignored until an end of message character is received. Messages from the IP Connect module comply with the requirements of the incoming messages but in addition are fixed width formatted. Each numerical field is made of 5 characters (leading spaces and digits). A comma delimiter is included. An Example is shown below. 1, 3, 45

15. CONTROL COMMANDS

a. These commands are used to control the operation of screens. b. The Switch groups and IR groups must be programmed according to section 5 c. Unified address is MAF address plus 16 e.g. Module 1 is Unified address 17 Operate Module Direct COMMAND Value Description 30 Module ID Operate Module UP 31 Module ID Operate Module PARTIAL 1 32 Module ID Operate Module PARTIAL 2 33 Module ID Operate Module DOWN 36 Module ID Operate Module STOP d. Command followed by value 0 operates all modules connected via Connect Network including the Connect IP module (e.g.: 30 0 will operate all devices connected via the Connect network) e. Example of direct command Connected to 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 30 1 using module ID would see the screen move to up position IR Group Commands f. IR group control can be used to control screens directly if connected via Connect Network including the Connect IP module g. Each module will require programming via register 75, as per point 11 in document h. Example of direct command Connected to 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 20 1 ,would see all screens programmed to operate on IR group 1 move to up position i. Command followed by value 0 operates all modules connected via Connect Network including the Connect IP module

Programming Partial Positions 1 & 2 a. Before partial positions can be programmed, the screen must be calibrated – Calibration is done by sending the below command. eg. to calibrate screen 1 a code of 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 042 17 using Unified address would see the screen calibrate b. Calibration command can also be sent from the PC Connect software Command MAF Address + 16 Value 1 42 Unified Address 3781

c. Please start calibration by returning screen to top limit and then sending calibration

command. d. Due to motor run time this feature is not available on some large projection screens or Screen Lowering devices e. Partial 1 must be set first and must be above partial 2 f. Note that if partial positions have been programmed Stop 1 and Stop 2 on infra red transmitter will send screen to partial 1 & 2, and will not stop the screen. Setting the Partial positions Note: Partial posi tions are set using internal timers, position can vary due to mains voltage fuctuations, motor load changes and temperature. a. To set Partial 1 – stop screen at required location and send command - if screen 1 is being used a IP address 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 044 17 using unified address would see the screen set partial position 1 b. To set Partial 2 – stop screen at required location and send command - if screen 1 is being used a IP address 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 045 17 using unified address would see the screen set partial position 1 17. Module Status Feedback A module status buffer (20 record FIFO) is updated as a automatically generated Send Register Commands with register number = 0x20 are sent from each module. The module status buffer contains the Module ID (1 byte), and Module Status (2 bytes) Command 050 Response from module e.g. 150, 1, 1, 6 – value 6 indicates screen at top Command Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 150 Status Module ID Module Status Register (0x20) COMMAND MAF Address + 16 Value 1 Description 44 Unified Address 3781 Sets Partial Position 1 45 Unified Address 3781 Sets Partial Position 2

Note – Status=1 is returned if valid data and no further records in the status buffer

Status=2 is returned if valid data and there are still records in status buffer Status=3 is returned if valid data but the buffer is full (eg may have lost data) Status=6 is returned if there are no new records This buffer is updated when screens are moved. It is also updated automatically every 60 seconds. It needs to be polled regularly to clear the stored data otherwise it will get full and records will be lost. Even though screens may not be moving the data is being updated even though the status is the same Example of string from module 192.168.0.32 3001 Up Send 30 1 192.168.0.32 3001 Up Receive 130, 1, 1 192.168.0.32 3001 Status Change Receive 9999 192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Send 67 3781 192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Receive 167, 0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255 192.168.0.32 3001 Status Change Receive 9999 192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Send 67 3781 192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Receive 167, 6, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255 Response Type No Connect IP Module 0 Moving top 1 Moving bot 2 Moving PP1 3 Moving PP2 4 Moving PPT 5 Moving PPB 6 At TOP 7 At BOTTOM 8 At PP1 9 At PP2 10 Stopped manual 11 Error 12 Spare 13 Fail-timeout 14 Fail – current 15 Rattle 16 At PPT 17 At PPB

18. AMX Device Discovery

a. This feature allows the IP CONNECT module to be identified by AMX AV Control Systems. When polled the IP CONNECT module responds with a Beacon message which contains device specific information. (Eg Make, Model, Version) With this information the AMX system is able to then configure itself with the correct protocol to be able to control the IP Connect Module. b. The protocol works for any of the Serial ports, and over TCP/IP. c. The AMX “Device Discovery White Paper.Doc” defines, The Dynamic Device Discovery Protocol - the connection methods and data interactions required to dynamically connect a third party device to a NetLinx Master via either serial or IP connectivity. d. AMX Discovery is enabled using Register 80 or via internal web browser 19. Factory Reset Switch a. Single long press for 5 seconds approximately Factory Default Mode selected. LED double flashes.

Limit Setting for Connect ElectriCinema IP Screens

The following instructions are for the adjustment of the limit switches that alter the upper and lower stop positions on "Connect" ElectriCinema IP Screens only Where are The Limit Switches? (On the Left Hand Side). One switch is accessible through the slat rod opening and the other is behind a rubber grommet towards the front of the canister. Which Switch is for Up and Down? Down switch - Accessible through the rubber grommet Up switch - Accessible through the slat rod opening What Tools do I Need? Either the limit setting tool (supplied), a narrow tip screw driver (less than 4mm) or a 4mm Allen Key Which Way do I Turn the Switch? Clockwise always increases the amount of rotation (travel) of the motor. Anti-clockwise always reduces the amount of rotation (travel) of the motor. So pick the switch responsible for the limit position, up or down. Clockwise turning of the switch will always let the motor travel further in that direction. Anti-clockwise turning of the switch will lessen the amount of travel in that direction. Can I adjust the switch while the screen is sitting on the limit - ie fully up or down? Clockwise adjustment? – YES. But it is better to back the screen away from the limit and then adjust Anti-clockwise adjustment? - NO you will damage the micro switch if you turn it anti-clockwise while the screen is sitting on the limit. Never attempt this. You must back the screen away from the limit before adjustment. After adjustment you will need to run the screen up and down to pick up the new limit Will I void the product warranty if I damage the screen whilst making these adjustments? Yes.!!!
