Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)

You can control this monitor from a computer via RS-232C (COM port) on the computer.

You can also connect multiple monitors via a daisy chain by using a computer. By assigning ID numbers to each monitor (see page 36), you can make input mode selection/adjustment or can check the status of a specific monitor.

TIPS

  • To control the monitor via RS-232C, set RS-232C/LAN SELECT to RS-232C.
  • You cannot use RS-232C and LAN control simultaneously.

Computer connection

■One-to-one connection with a computer

Connect with RS-232 straight cable between the computer's COM port (RS-232C connector) and the RS-232C input terminal on the monitor.

graph LR A["RS-232C input terminal"] --> B["RS-232 straight cable (commercially available)"] B --> C["To COM port"] C --> D["Computer"]

■Daisy chain connection... Advanced operation

Connect with RS-232 straight cable between the computer's COM port (RS-232C connector) and the RS-232C input terminal on the first monitor.

Next, connect RS-232 straight cable to the first monitor's RS-232C output terminal and to the second monitor's RS-232C input terminal. Connect in the same way to the third and subsequent monitors.

Up to 4 monitors can be connected. (Depending on the length of the cable used and the surrounding environment.)

Communication conditions

Set the RS-232C communication settings on the computer to match the monitor's communication settings as follows:

Baud rate *
Data length 8 bits Flow cont
Parity bit None
Stop bit1 bit
None

* Set to the same baud rate as the BAUD RATE setting of SETUP menu. (Initial setting: 38400 bps) * When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set all monitors to the same BAUD RATE.

Communication procedure

■Command format

When a command is sent from the computer to the monitor, the monitor operates according to the received command and sends a response message to the computer.

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4 Return code Command field (4 prescribed alphanumerical characters) Parameter field (4 character string comprised of: 0-9, +, -, space, ?)

Example: VOLM0030 VOLM _ 30

* Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces (“☐”) if necessary. (“☐” is a return code (0DH, 0AH or 0DH)) Wrong : VOLM30 Right : VOLM 30

When inputting a negative value, specify a numerical value in three digits.

Example: OFSR-127

When the parameter part is 5 or more characters, specify parameters using a specified number of characters without using spaces.

Example: MPOS010097

If a command has "R" listed for "Direction" in the "RS-232C command table" on page 39, the current value can be returned by using "?" as the parameter.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? ?

From computer to monitor (How much is current volume setting?).

30

From monitor to computer (Current volume setting: 30).

* If an ID number (see page 36) has been assigned (For example, ID number = 1). VOLM _? ← From computer to monitor. 30_001 ← From monitor to computer.

■Response code format

When a command has been executed correctly

SHARP PNM401 - When a command has been executed correctly - 1

A response is returned after a command is executed.

* If an ID number has been assigned

Space (20H) Return code (0DH, 0AH) O K SPC 0 0 1 ID number of responding monitor

When a command has not been executed

SHARP PNM401 - When a command has not been executed - 1

* If an ID number has been assigned

Space (20H) Return code (0DH, 0AH) R R E SPC 0 0 1 ID number r

TIPS

  • "ERR" is returned when there is no relevant command or when the command cannot be used in the current state of the monitor.
  • If communication has not been established for reasons such as a bad connection between the computer and monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).
  • "ERR" may be returned when a command cannot be received correctly due to interference from the surrounding environment.

Please ensure that the system or software resends the command if this occurs.

- If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number (e.g. if the command IDSL0002 is used, but no monitor with ID number: 2 is found), no response is returned.

If execution of the command is taking some time

SHARP PNM401 - If execution of the command is taking some time - 1

When the following commands are used, "WAIT" is returned. In this case, a value will be returned if you wait a while.

No ID number is attached to WAIT response.

- Commands which return WAIT:

  1. When repeater control is used
  2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used
  3. When one of the following commands is used: RSET, POWR, RPIP

After sending one of these commands, wait at least 10 seconds before sending the next command.

If there is no response, resend the command.

When RS-232C/LAN SELECT is set to LAN

U N S E L E C T E D Return code (0DH, 0AH)

Communication interval

  • To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10 seconds or longer. When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set the timeout to at least the product of the monitor's position from the computer multiplied by 10 seconds. Example: 3rd monitor from computer: 30 seconds or longer.

Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the command response and the transmission of the next command.

VOLM0020 OK ↓ Interval of 100 ms or more INPS0001 WAIT OK

TIPS

  • When executing ALL RESET, set the interval until the next command is sent to at least 30 seconds.
  • When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY function is in use, set the interval until the next command is sent to the POWER ON DELAY period + 10 seconds or longer.

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the same as in the

"One-to-one connection with a computer" section.

ID numbers

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor. (See page 26.) This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or from the computer using RS-232 cable.

[Example]

graph LR A["Computer"] --> B["Rectangular Node 1"] B --> C["Rectangular Node 2"] C --> D["Rectangular Node 3"] D --> E["Rectangular Node 4"]

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like "Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20".

When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID numbers.

ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the computer. They can also be connected as shown below.

[Example]

graph LR A["Computer"] --> B["ID number: 3"] B --> C["ID number: 2"] C --> D["ID number: 4"] D --> E["ID number: 1"]

■Commands for ID control

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

graph LR A["Computer"] --> B[" "] --> C[" "] --> D[" "] --> E[" "]

IDST ...... A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.

Example:

IDST0001

OK 001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

TIPS

You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with the Repeater control (see "Repeater control" on page 38).

For example, using the command "IDST001+" automatically sets the ID numbers, as shown below.

[Example]

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

graph LR A["Computer"] --> B[" "] --> C[" "] --> D[" "] --> E[" "]

IDST001 + ← ID setting command with repeater control WAIT

OK 001 ← "OK" response from ID number: 1

OK _002 ← "OK" response from ID number: 2

OK_003 ← "OK" response from ID number: 3

OK_004 ← "OK" response from ID number: 4 (End)

IDSL ......The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to the next command.

Example:

IDSL0002←The next command is for the monitor with ID number: 2.
WAIT←Searching for monitor with ID number: 2
OK_002←Found monitor with ID number: 2
VOLM0030←Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 30.
WAIT←Processing
OK_002←OK response from monitor with ID number: 2
VOLM0020←Sets volume to 20.
OK_001←The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the computer) is set to 20.*

* The IDSL command is effective only once, for the immediately succeeding command.

IDLK......The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.

Example:

IDLK0002←Following commands are for the monitor with ID number: 2.
WAIT←Searching for monitor with ID number: 2
OK _002←Found monitor with ID number: 2
VOLM0030←Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 30.*
WAIT←Processing
OK _002
VOLM0020←Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 20.*
WAIT
OK _002
IDLK0000←Canceling fixed ID number setting
WAIT←Canceling IDLK
OK _002←Cancellation complete
VOLM0010
OK _001←The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the computer) is set to 10. (IDLK is canceled.)

* The IDLK command remains effective until it is canceled, or power is shut off.

IDCK......Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID number currently set for IDLK (if any).

Example:

(After executing IDLK0002)

IDCK0000 ← (Parameter has no meaning.)

ID : 001 IDLK : 002 ← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the monitor screen.

IDCK000 + ← Repeater control. (If a command is used with repeater control, ID WAIT designation using IDSL or IDLK is canceled.)

ID:001 IDLK:000

ID:002 IDLK:000

ID:003 IDLK:000

ID:004 IDLK:000

■Repeater control

This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command. This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.

[Example]

graph LR A["Computer"] --> B["Set 1"] B --> C["Set 2"] C --> D["Set 3"] D --> E["Set 4"]

* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like "Set all monitors' input settings to D-SUB[RGB]".

■Repeater control command

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.

Example:

VOLM030 + ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.

If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance. When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not send a new command.

Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)

VOLM030 +

WAIT

OK 001

OK_002

OK 003

OK 004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by the 4th (last) monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? +

WAIT

10 001

20 002

30 003

30 004

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

TIPS

- If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

  5. Send the password.
  6. Send [password] + [☐]. • If the password is not set, send □.
  7. When the transmission is successful, [OK□] is returned as response.

(2) Send commands to control the monitor.

  • The commands used are the same as those for RS-232C. Refer to the communication procedure (see page 35) for operation.
  • Usable commands are provided in the RS-232C command table (see page 39).

(3) Disconnect the connection with the monitor and quit the function.

  1. Send [QUIT]

When the transmission is successful, [goodbye] is returned and the connection is disconnected.

TIPS

- Connection is automatically disconnected when the time specified in AUTO LOGOUT TIME elapses over a no-communication period.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips.

There is no picture or sound.

  • The power LED is off.
  • Is power supplied to this monitor?
  • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 13.)
  • Is the main power switch off? (See page 17.) • The power LED lights orange.
  • This monitor is in standby mode. Turn on the power. (See page 17.) • The power LED flashes green.
  • There is no input signal.
  • Is an input mode selected that is appropriate for the input terminal to which the cable is connected? (See page 20.)
  • If any external equipment is connected, make sure the equipment is operating (playing back).

Remote control does not work.

  • Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See page 15.) • Are the batteries exhausted?
  • Point the remote control unit toward the monitor's remote control sensor. (See page 15.)
  • Is the menu display hidden or is operation disabled? (See page 33.)
  • Do the remote control numbers on the remote control unit and on the monitor match?

Check the numbers on INFORMATION. (See page 32.)

Sound from left and right speakers is reversed.

Sound is heard from only one side.

- Are audio cables connected properly?

There is a picture but no sound.

• Is the sound muted? - Make sure the volume is not set to minimum. - Are audio cables connected properly?

Unstable video.

  • The signal may be incompatible.
  • Try the automatic screen adjustment when D-SUB[RGB] is in use.

The video from the HDMI input terminal does not appear properly.

  • Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.
  • Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages 47 and 48.)

The video from D-Sub input terminal does not appear correctly.

  • Is the setting for D-SUB of INPUT SELECT on the SETUP menu correct? (See page 26.)
  • Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages 47 and 48.)

The video from the DisplayPort does not appear properly.

  • Is the DisplayPort cable DisplayPort standard compliant? The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.
  • Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page 47.)
  • If the monitors are connected in a daisy chain, turn off the power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and then turn the power on again.

Control buttons do not work.

There is no picture.

- Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal operation. Turn off the main power and turn it on after waiting at least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.

The input mode changes automatically.

- When NO SIGNAL AUTO INPUT SEL. is ON and the current video signal input stops, the input mode automatically changes to the mode of an active video signal.

Consequently, the input mode may change even in the following cases:

  • When a computer enters standby mode.
  • When video play is stopped with a playback device.

Power LED flashes red.

"STATUS [xxxx]" appears in the corner of the screen.

  • Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request repair from your SHARP dealer. (When STATUS ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies depending on the setting.)

When "AUTO DIMMING" is displayed.

  • When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight automatically decreases in order to prevent a further temperature rise. If you attempt to adjust the brightness while the monitor is in this state, "AUTO DIMMING" is displayed and you cannot change the brightness.
  • Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

The monitor makes a cracking sound.

- You may occasionally hear a cracking sound from the monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to changes in temperature. This does not affect the monitor's performance.

The Power LED is flashing in red and green alternately. When "TEMPERATURE" is displayed in the corner of the screen.

  • When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related problems. When this occurs, "TEMPERATURE" is displayed on the screen and the Power LED flashes red and green alternately. (When TEMPERATURE ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies depending on the setting.)
  • If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED continues flashing red and green alternately.)
  • Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however, will enter standby mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 7.)

- Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal temperature rises quickly if the vents on the monitor are blocked.

- Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove dust if possible. Ask SHARP dealer about removing internal dust.

When mounting the monitor, be sure to use a wall-mount bracket that complies with the VESA-compatible mounting method. SHARP recommends using M6 screws and tightening the screws.

Note that the screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose mounting may cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come together with over 5/16 inch (8 mm) length of thread. Use a bracket that has been approved for UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor.

■DDC (plug and play)

The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.

DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolution and other parameters is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer supports DDC and it has been configured to detect plug-and-play monitors.

There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports DDC2B.

■Power management

This monitor conforms to VESA DPMS. Both your video card and computer must support the same standard in order for the monitor's power management function to work.
