IR/Serial SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.)
Command Description
GET BAUD
Get the IR port’s current 
DATA mode communication 
parameters.
The port sends the parameters to the device that requested the information.
Only valid if the port is in Data Mode (see SET MODE command).
The port responds with:
<port #> <baud>,<parity>,<data bits>,<stop bits>
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET BAUD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET BAUD'"
System response example:
PORT 9 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
GET MODE
Poll the IR/Serial port's 
configuration parameters and 
report the active mode 
settings to the device 
requesting the information.
The port responds with: <port #> <mode>,<carrier>,<io link channel>.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET MODE'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET MODE"
The system could respond with:
PORT 4 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
IROFF
Halt and Clear all active or 
buffered IR commands being 
output on the designated 
port.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'IROFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'IROFF"
Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port.
POD
Disable previously active 
'PON' (power on) or 'POF' 
(power off) command 
settings.
Channel 255 changes are enabled. This command is used in conjunction with 
the I/O Link command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POD"
Disables the 'PON' and 'POF' command settings on the IR_1 device.
POF
Turn Off a device connected 
to an IR port based on the 
status of the corresponding 
I/O Link input.
If at any time the IR sensor input reads that the device is ON (such as if 
someone turned it on manually at the front panel), IR function 28 (if available) 
or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an attempt to turn the device back 
OFF. If three attempts fail, the IR port will continue executing commands in the 
buffer.
If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue executing 
commands in the buffer and trying to turn the device OFF until a 'PON' or 'POD' 
command is received. If the IR port fails to turn the device OFF, a PUSH and 
RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure error. You can 
only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked 
I/O channel. Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of this command.
You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a 
linked I/O channel.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POF'"
Sends power down IR commands 28 (if present) or 9 to the IR_1 device.
