Page 33: Kramer Protocol 2000
Kramer Protocol 2000 13 Kramer Protocol 2000 The VS-808YC is compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000 (version 0.42) (below). This RS-232 / RS-485 communication protocol uses four bytes of information as defined below. For RS-232, a null-modem connection between the machine and controller is used. The default data rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. -
Page 34: Table 9: Instruction Codes For Protocol 2000
Kramer Protocol 2000 For a single machine controlled via the serial port, always set M4…M0 = 1, and make sure that the machine itself is configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1. Table 9: Instruction Codes for Protocol 2000 Note: All values in the table are decimal, unless otherwise stated. - Page 35 (The mode is automatically cancelled after implementation of the switch if the “ execute” command is used). For example, to connect input 4 to output 3 after a delay, send HEX codes (set for delayed switch) (switch code) KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY...
- Page 36 Kramer Protocol 2000 then, after the required delay, send HEX codes (execute delayed switch) to implement the switch. NOTE 18 – After this instruction is sent, the unit will respond to the ASCII command set. The ASCII command to operate with the HEX command set must be sent in order to return to working with HEX codes.
