4.4.3. Serial Message Sending
The RAP-B511 can send serial messages via RS-232 port in order to control the other devices. This function
can be set as an action which executed after the trigger condition (e.g. buttonpress).
Preparations and Settings
▪
The RS-232 port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) of the connected serial devices must
be the same.
▪
The RS-232 port of the RAP-B511 must be in Disconnect mode. (If the target device is also Lightware
unit, take care of the its operation mode, too)
Pay attention to the correct serial cabling (connector pinout). For more details about the cabling, see

4.4.4. Ethernet Message Sending
The RAP-B511 can send TCP or UDP messages via Ethernet port in order to control the other devices. This
function can be set as an action which executed after the trigger condition (e.g. buttonpress).
Preparations and Settings
Pay attention to the TCP/IP port no. (and have it opened) settings in the connected devices. (The
▪
Ethernet has to be enabled at the TPS and Ethernet ports.)
▪
The Ethernet devices must be in the same subnet.
If you have problems with accessing a device over Ethernet, try to check the connection e.g. by PING
▪
the IP address.

4.4.5. GPIO Output Level Change
The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the
RAP-B511 or third-party devices and peripherals. You can establish connection between the controller/
controllable device and the RAP-B511 by the 4-pole Phoenix connector. Three pin's direction is configurable
independently based on needs of the application.
When the GPIO pin is used as an output, it is able to send a TTL signal the other device by changing the
output level. GPIO output level change can be set as an action.
The configuration is available in

is controlled by the GPIO port.
Message Sending
Step 1. Select the Button2 and Button3 set their operation mode to Radio Group1.
Step 2. When the Button2 is pressed, it triggers the P1 pin of the GPIO to high level (it closes the Relay and
the projection screen is rolled down). Select the Button2 and choose the Turn ON actions tab. Click on
the Set output state to 'High' action and set the P1 output port. Click OK to save.
Step 3. When the Button3 is pressed, it triggers the P1 pin of the GPIO to low level (it opens the Relay and the
projection screen is rolled up). Select the Button3 and choose the Turn ON actions tab. Click on the
Set output state to 'Low' action and set the P1 output port. Click OK to save.
ATTENTION! Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The
maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the three pins is 180 mA.
