RS232/485/LAN Serial Communication Control for MDT652S 1. Application This document defines the communication protocols for serial control of the MDT652S. -----Revision History----1st Release May. 24 2011. H.Tanizoe, M.Juichiya, T.Kimura, Y.
. Connectors and wiring A: RS232C connection Connector: D-Sub 9-pin Cable: Cross (reversed) cable or null modem cable B: CAT5 RS485 connection Connector: D-SUB 9pin or USB(Either one can be used for communication between PC and CAT5 Tx-BOX and Rx-BOX (Option). In order to use the USB, you need USB driver with your PC installed. Please check User's manual for details.
. Communication Parameter Set each communication parameters to the PC connected with each kind of cable.
3.1 Communication timing The controller should wait for a packet interval before next command is sent. The packet interval needs to be longer than 600msec for the MDT652S. [Important Information] HOST system shall send next command after receiving a reply command from Monitor, if it is sequential commands communication. If Host doesn’t wait for monitor’s reply, monitor operation error may happen.
4. Communication Format 4-1.Basic command This command set supports only the basic control of monitor and does NOT support multi monitor control by daisy chained connection. This command set will be written in the user’s manual of MDT652S. 1) Control command diagram The command is structured by the address code, function code, data code and end code. The length of the command is different for each function. 2) Control sequence (1) The command from a computer to the LCD monitor will be sent in 600ms.
3) Operation commands The operation commands execute the basic operation setting of this LCD monitor.
5) Remote command (Not executable in sleep/stand-by mode. When the remote commands are sent while sleep/stand-by mode, the stand-by mode is only canceled.) Some remote control operations can be achieved by the remote command codes. The remote commands have no data codes. Button’s name on remote Function Character ASCII +/VOLUME r06 72h 30h 36h -/VOLUME r07 72h 30h 37h AV MUTE ra6 72h 61h 36h AUTO SETUP r09 72h 30h 39h [Example] When executing the AUTOSETUP.
4-2.Extended command Note: This command set supports multi monitor control by daisy chained connection. This command set will NOT be written in the user’s manual of MDT652S. The command packet consists of four parts, Header, Message, Check code and Delimiter.
4.1 Header block format (fixed length) SOH 1st Reserved '0' 2nd Destination 'A' 3rd Header Message Message Type Source 4th 5th Check code Delimiter Message Length 6th -7th 1stbyte) SOH: Start of Header ASCII SOH (01h) 2ndbyte) Reserved: Reserved for future extensions. MDT652S must be ASCII '0'(30h) 3rdbyte) Destination: Destination equipment ID. (Receiver) Specify a command’s receiver’s address.
4.2 Message block format Header Message Check code Delimiter “Message block format” is allied to the “Message Type” in the “Header”. Refer to the section 6 “Message format” for more detail. 1）Get current parameter The controller sends this message when you want to get the status of the monitor. For the status that you want to get, specify the “OP code page” and “OP code”, refer to “Appendix A. Operation code table”.
6）Command reply The monitor replies to a query from the controller. “Command reply message” format depends on each command. Refer to section 5.5 “Commands message” for more details.
4.5 Check code Header Check code Message Delimiter Check code is the Block Check Code (BCC) between the Header and the End of Message except SOH. SOH Reserved Destination Source Type Length STX Data | | ETX Check code D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 | | Dn Dn+1 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 P P P P P P P P Dn+1 = D1 XOR D2 XOR D3 XOR ,,, Dn XOR: Exclusive OR Following is an example of a Check code (BCC) calculation.
5. Message type 5.1 Get current Parameter from a monitor. STX 1 st OP code page Hi Lo 2nd-3rd OP code Hi Lo 4th–5th ETX 6th Send this message when you want to get the status of a monitor.

14. Control Commands for Automatic ID Assignment function You can set sequential Monitor ID automatically for daisy chained monitors. This function is executed by following 2 steps. NOTE: This function is only applicable for RS232C based daisy chained connection, but not applicable CAT5(RS485) based daisy chained connection. Step1: Change the communication mode to “ID assignment mode” by Mode change command. Step2: Apply Monitor ID by Automatic ID assignment Command. 14.
14.2 Automatic ID Assignment This command executes the Automatic ID assignment operation by Monitor itself. Only start ID should be suggested by Host to 1st connected Monitor and daisy chained monitor can assign own Monitor ID one by one sequentially. NOTE: This function is only applicable for RS232C based daisy chained connection, but not applicable CAT5(RS485) based daisy chained connection. If you send this command to Monitor with RS485 connection, communication control problem will be occurred.
Appendix A. Operation Code (OP code) Table [Note: Do not send any code to monitor except for the codes in following table. If you sent any “undefined” code to monitor, it may cause error of Monitor operation.

B. Application Note for RS485 based communication using CAT5 Tx BOX. 1) 2) RS-485 is half-duplex communication. So data flow control in HOST side is required. Data flow control is done by following procedure. HOST send data to Monitor while both of RTS and DTR signal is “LOW” (Clear) status. HOST receive data from Monitor while RTS signal is “HIGH”(Set) status. 3) Following chart shows more detailed timing of data flow control by RTS.
C. Application Note for LAN based communication The RS-232C command code is been able to execute on LAN. When you make your application program, you use socket port as a TCP/IP client. Please refer general technical documents (commercially available) of network control. Preparation of system setup (1) Connect with the PC, the displays and LAN HUB with LAN cable. (See page 2.) (2) The Main Power Switch (AC) of the display is ON. So the modes of the display are DC On, DC Off or Standby. (3) The PC is on.
