Serial Communication Command - GigE FC11000GE Instruction Manual

[Procedure b. (to retrieve default onto RAM and save it into all program pages)]
<Step 1> Set the mode switch to the position "9", and manipulate the UP/DOWN switch either upward or downward.
Then, turn on the power and keep the position of the UP/DOWN switch for several seconds.
<Step 2> Return the UP/DOWN switch to the neutral position when the response sound of "pip-pip" is heard and
LED flashes in orange.
<Step 3> Then, change the position of the mode switch to "0". LED will flash in red.
<Step 4> For execution, apply an upward or downward stroke to the UP/DOWN switch once again. For cancellation,
turn off the power to the camera.
<Step 5> The camera restarts and the operation mode is set to be Group 1.

7. Serial Communication Command

This camera can be externally controlled by the serial interface via Ethernet.
(Note) When the operation modes of the camera are changed by the communication functions, it takes some time to switch the
modes. Carefully note that normal image may not be obtained from the signal for one frame each before and after
transmitting a command.
(Note) The settings and timings of the serial communication commands are the same as those of the products that have the
conventional RS-232C communication functions (e.g. FC2000CL).
● The setting of the serial communication is as follows:
Baud rate : 9600bps or 19200bps(designated in Setting Group 2, Default is 9600bps.)
Data : 8bit / character
Stop bit : 1stop bit
Parity : Non
XON/XOFF : no control
● Serial communication commands
The command packet starts with STX(02h), followed by command code(s) and command option parameter(s) and ends with
ETX(03h). All those are of 8 bit ASCII codes.
When the camera receives 1 packet (by detecting ETX:03h) and judges it is a normal packet, it returns a transaction
completion signal (ACK: 06h) or others corresponding to the commands received. When the camera judges it is an abnormal
packet, it returns the abnormal signal (NAK: 15h).
● Operation mode "Group 1 to 4" and reception of serial communication commands
Serial communication commands are received only for the period when the camera is in the operation mode of "Group 1" (=
"normal power-on state").
However, only the command "ARESET" (restoring to power-on state) is received even during the periods when the camera is
in the operation modes of Group 2 to 4.
● Description of each command
(1) Command "e"
Function: Initialization of page memory
Transmission from host: STX: "e": ETX
Return by camera:
* CPU initializes each of the page memories when the power is turned on next time. "Initialization" here means restoring
the parameter values stored in the internal EEPROM of the camera to the factory default values.
(2) Command "R"
Function: Command for reporting camera operating state and setting status
The contents of the report can be selected by adding the following option code after the command code "R".
G: Gain report
V: Camera version report
T: Shutter SW set report
S: Shutter report
(3) Gain report
Transmission from host: STX: "R": "G": ETX
Return by camera:
(!) FC/FS11000GE does not use the values in parentheses. This camera returns the fixed values instead.
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
STX: ACK: "R": MGC set value: (AGC set value): (VRT set value):
(VRB set value): OFFSET set value: ETX
