Communication procedure

Basic operation

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

SHARP PN-655E - Basic operation - 1

Example: VOLM0030

VOLM 30 (" ” indicates a space.)

  • Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces if necessary.

Wrong: VOLM30

Right: VOLM 30 ("□" indicates a space. "□" is the return code (ODH, OAH or ODH).)

If a command has "R" listed for "DIRECTION" in the "RS-232C command table" on page 46, the current value can be returned by using "?" as the parameter.

Example: 1. If an ID number has not been set:

VOLM????? From PC to monitor (How much is current volume setting?)

30 From monitor to PC (Current volume setting: 30)

  1. If an ID number has been assigned (For example, ID number = 1)

VOLM ? From PC to monitor ("□" indicates a space.)

30 001 From monitor to PC ("□" indicates a space.)

■ When a command has been executed correctly

SHARP PN-655E - ■ When a command has been executed correctly - 1

This is returned when execution of the command is finished.

■ When a command has not been executed correctly*

SHARP PN-655E - ■ When a command has not been executed correctly* - 1

  • This is returned when there is no such command, or when the command cannot be used in the current state of the monitor (Example: When "ADJUSTMENT" is used (a command which is effective when the input mode is "ANALOG"), while video is displayed (the input mode is "VIDEO").
  • If there is a bad connection between the PC and monitor, or if communication has not been established, nothing is returned (not even ERR).

If execution of the command is taking some time

SHARP PN-655E - If execution of the command is taking some time - 1

■ If RS-232C is locked

SHARP PN-655E - ■ If RS-232C is locked - 1

With some commands, "WAIT" is returned as a return value. Wait for a moment, and OK or ERR will be returned. New commands cannot be received during this time, even if they are sent.

If RS-232C control has been locked with the operation lock (see page 26), LOCKED is returned as the returned value.

Advanced operation

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

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 31). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and installation environment.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (using the remote control) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.

[Example]

SHARP PN-655E - [Example] - 1

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

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

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

[Example]

SHARP PN-655E - [Example] - 1

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

SHARP PN-655E - [Example] - 1

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.

Note

After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with the Repeater control (see "Repeater control" on page 43).

SHARP PN-655E - Note - 1
[Example]

If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command "IDST001+", ID numbers will be set automatically, as shown below.

SHARP PN-655E - Note - 2
[Example]

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 PC) 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 Cancelation complete

VOLM0010

OK□001 The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 10.

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 designation using IDSL or IDLK is canceled.)

WAIT

ID:001 IDLK:002

ID:002 IDLK:002

ID:003 IDLK:002

ID:004 IDLK:002

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.

The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and the surrounding environment.

You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.

SHARP PN-655E - Example: - 1
[Example]

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like "Set all monitors' input settings to INPUT1 (DVI: DIGITAL)".

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 4th (last) monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM???+

WAIT

10 001
20 002
30 003
30 004

SHARP PN-655E - Example: - 1

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

  • This is returned when there is no such command, or when the command cannot be used in the current state of the monitor.
    Example: When "ADJUSTMENT" is used (a command which is effective when the input mode is "ANALOG"), while video is displayed (the input mode is "VIDEO").
  • If communication has not been established for reasons like a bad connection between the PC and the monitor, nothing is returned, not even ERR.
  • 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

■ Warning when temperature rises

Nature of warning:

  • The power LED (see page 21) lights up red and the monitor enters standby mode.

Solution:

  • If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can reset the monitor to normal operation by turning it on again using the POWER button on the remote control unit or the power switch on the front panel. The monitor, however, will enter standby mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated.
  • 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.

Cracking sound

The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.

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

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.
