7.6 Setting GPIO Port Parameters

GPIO ports are used to connect and control hardware devices to the FC-54P such as sensors, switches and LED indicators that input and output digital signals and input analog signals.

Figure 18: GPIO Port Settings Page

The GPIO Port Setting page allows you to configure the following for each GPIO port:

• Trigger type—digital input, digital output, or analog input
• Enable and disable the pull-up resistor for the digital input and output
• Set the threshold trigger voltage range for the digital input
• Set the current status for the digital output signal to high or low
• Set the maximum number of reported steps for the analog input
• Read—Press to read the state of the port (displayed according to the page)
• State—Displays the digital state of the port, either 1 (high) or 0 (low) (displayed according to the page)

GPIO sub-ports are displayed according to their DIP-switch settings.

Note: The default parameter settings change depending on which trigger type is selected.

Note: When DIP-switches 1 and 2 are set down to Relay, GPIO ports 1 through 4 are grayed out and the following GPIO port settings screen appears:

Figure 19: GPIO Port Settings Page – No GPIO Ports Configured

7.6.1 Setting Digital In Trigger Parameters

Figure 20: GPIO Port Settings Page Digital IN

Set the trigger type to Digital In (default). With this selection, the digital input trigger mode reads the digital input of an external sensor device that is connected to the GPIO port. It detects high (upon passing Max. threshold from Low state, default 2.2V) or low (upon passing Min threshold from High state, default 0.8V) port states according to the user defined voltage threshold levels:

• Pull-up resistor enabled (default)

Detects an open circuit as High, or a short to ground as Low. This is suitable for example, for a pushbutton switch (connecting one terminal of the switch to ground, and the other to the input) or for an alarm closing a circuit that activates a series of actions.

When the pull-up is enabled, the port state is high and to be triggered it must be pulled low by the externally connected sensor.

• Pull-up resistor disabled

Suitable, for example, for a high-temperature alarm that exceeds the maximum voltage threshold.

When disabled, the port state is low and to be triggered it must be pulled high by the externally connected sensor.

7.6.2 Setting Digital Out Trigger Parameters

Figure 21: GPIO Port Settings Page Digital OUT

Set the trigger type to Digital Out. With this selection, the external device, (for example, an electric blind) is controlled by the FC-54P.

When selecting the Digital Out trigger type, the warning popup shown in Figure 22 is displayed.

Figure 22: Digital Out Selection Warning Popup

The digital output mode function is defined by the pull-up resistor setup:

- Pullup resistor enabled:

The port is used for controlling external devices such as room or light switches. The external source device determines the voltage output; the maximum voltage is 30V DC and the maximum current is 100mA.

Note: take care that the current in this configuration does not exceed 100mA!

When enabled, the port state is high by default. For the state to be low, you must click Low from the Current Status.

• Pullup resistor disabled (default):

The port can be used for controlling devices that accept a TTL signal such as for powering LEDs. The voltage output is TTL positive logic: open: \~ 3.5V; closed: \~ 0.3V.

When disabled, the port state is low by default and to set it high, you must click High from the Current Status.

7.6.3 Setting Analog In Trigger Parameters

Figure 23: GPIO Port Settings Page Analog IN

Set the trigger type to Analog In. With this selection, the port is triggered by an analog external device, such as, a volume control device. The trigger is activated once when the detected voltage is within 0 to 30V DC voltage range.

You can select the number of steps the analog input signal will be divided into, starting with step 1 and with a maximum of 100 (default 8). The voltage of each step is dependent on the number of steps selected:

Individual step voltage = 30V / number of steps

When selecting the Analog In trigger type, the Pullup resistor and Threshold settings are disabled.

7.7 Setting Relay Port Status

The Relay Port Settings page allows you to turn the relays on and off to control relay-driven devices such as shades, projection screens and lighting systems.

Figure 24: Relay Port Settings Page

The relay ports have the following characteristics:

• Rated at 30V DC and 1A
- Default state of normally open
- A non-latching relay function, that is, the contact is left open when unpowered or on power up state. This means that if a relay is closed and power is lost, the relay returns to its default state. To return it to its pre-power loss state, the setting must be changed using either the Web UI or a Protocol 3000 command

To close a relay, (for example, relay 2):

1. On the Relay Setting page, click Port button 2 to select the second relay. The current relay status is shown to the right of the button.
2. Click Close.

The relay closes, the button changes color, and the Relay 2 LED on the front panel lights green.

Note: When DIP-switches 1 and 2 are set up to GPIO, Relay ports 1 through 4 are grayed out and the following Relay port settings screen appears:

8 Using FC-54P Operations

This section explains how to use IR learning, reset the device and upgrade device firmware.

8.1 Using IR Learning

At the start and end of learning a message is sent to all attached clients.

To perform IR learning, the IR remote control must be approximately five to seven centimeters (2" and 2.7") from the FC-54P front panel.

Note: While learning is in progress, the FC-54P is not available for normal operation.

To teach the FC-54P an IR command:

1. Put the FC-54P in IR Learning mode either by sending the Protocol 3000 command, (see Section 11.2) or by using the Web pages, (see Section 7.8). The device is no longer in normal operation, and the FC-54P sends an IR Learning start message to all connected clients.
2. Using the IR remote control, send the required command to the FC-54P. The FC-54P processes the IR detected signal and generates the signal-associated pronto code to be used by the driver. When using the Web page for IR learning, the FC-54P also displays the learned command code on screen. (This command can be copied/pasted to other applications, for example, control software when creating a driver.) The FC-54P then sends the IR Learning stop message to all connected clients to indicate return to normal operation.
3. Optional—Test the command if using the IR Learning Web page. Test results are displayed on screen.
4. Save the learned command.

8.2 Resetting to the Factory Default Settings

To reset the device to its factory default settings:

1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the front panel.
3. Turn on the power to the device while holding down the Reset button for a few seconds.
4. Release the button.
   The device is reset to the factory default settings.

9.1 Data Handling Performance

The FC-54P is designed to support mainly AV-relevant RS-232 communication.

These devices must have overall data bandwidth limits high enough in most AV installations to support the required communication bandwidth.

In extremely demanding cases, we recommend that you take into account the bandwidth limitations.

The total sustained data bandwidth that each device can handle for all ports simultaneously is 150kbps.

9.2 Example Bandwidth Calculation

The FC-54P has two serial ports. Each serial port can support up to:

- 150kbps / 2 = 75kbps

If each protocol command is 100 bytes, (that is, 800 bits), you can safely send and receive a minimum of 96 commands per second on each serial port. This is shown using the following calculation:

(150kbps * 1024) / 800 bits / 2 = 96

The same calculation applies to all devices. A similar calculation applies when fewer ports are used at the same time where a higher bandwidth per port can be achieved.

In critical applications requiring a lossless data transfer, we recommend that communication on all the other ports is stopped when making a long file transfer (for example, when performing a firmware upgrade via one of the serial ports).

11 Kramer Protocol 3000

The FC-54P can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the FC-54P. For example, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1 video signal to HDMI out 1 from HDMI input 2 (ROUTE 1, 1, 2), is entered as follows:

• Terminal communication software, such as Hercules:

The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.

• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):

• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):

All the examples provided in this section are based on using the K-Config software.

You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the FC-54P. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).

Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require special coding for some characters (such as, /x##). For more information, refer to your controller's documentation.

11.1.3 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'').

Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

Parameters

A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-9', 'A'-Z', 'a'-z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

Message string

Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ' |' ) character.

Message starting character

'#' – For host command/query

'\~' – For device response

Device address (Optional, for K-NET)

K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character

CR- For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)

CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( ' |' ) character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

11.1.4 Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.

( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

11.1.5 Command Forms

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

11.1.6 Chaining Commands

Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character ("|"). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.

A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

11.1.7 Maximum String Length
