  • Page 2: Connecting Rs232 Communication

    Connecting RS232 Communication RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control tiles from a computer at a distance. If your installation will not use RS232 control, skip this section. Everything you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232 commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the tiles and find out the current settings and values.
  • Page 3 RS485 In connector. Connect this first tile’s RS485 Out connector to the next tile’s RS485 In connector. For more information about configuring RS232 communications, see the WindowWall Installation Manual. Connect this to Quad Input Manager Module A only - make sure you don’t connect to other Quad Input...
  • Page 4 How to Form Commands How to Form Commands Basic Rules • RS232 commands consist of a string of ascii characters. • All numeric values are decimal; you do not need to use hex or binary digits in the commands. • Spaces or tabs may be used in the commands to separate the parts and make them easier for humans to read.

  • Page 5: Command Structure

    A few commands have a ‘target. ’ For example, to adjust white balance, you must state which color to change: red, green, blue, or all. Or to determine whether a memory slot is empty, you must target the memory slot number. The target is always in (parentheses). RS232 Control...
  • Page 6 The command line must always end with a carriage return character, noted in the exam- ples above as [CR]. The Runco WindowWall will not act on the command unless the last character is a carriage return character (ascii hex value: 0D).

  • Page 8: Using The Operation Commands Table

    If the Target column has anything in it, the command must use one (and only one) of the targets, and it must be in parentheses. Use either the ascii text or the Target Number. These are equivalent commands: opa2 center.point (red) ? [CR] opa21110(0)? [CR] RS232 Control...
