Epson CBZ EBZ PowerLiteProZ Series1 Control Spec

Summary

Epson home/installed projector controlled via the ESC/VP21 ASCII command protocol over RS-232C serial, USB, or TCP/IP network (ESC/VP.net). This spec covers power, mute, source selection (SOURCE/MSEL commands), null command, and serial communication parameters as documented in the ESC/VP21 Command User's Guide for Home Projectors.

  notes: "Projector returns a colon after executing a set command."

- id: get_command_response
  type: string
  # UNRESOLVED: response value set not enumerated in source - get format documented generically (command + "?" returns response parameter)
  notes: "Get command (command + '?') returns a response parameter."

  notes: "Returned with a return key code (Hex 0D) and a colon when an invalid command is received."

- id: null_command_ack

  notes: "Null command (Hex 0D) returns a colon; confirms projector is in operation."

Variables

# Source documents step parameters INC (increment), DEC (decrement), INIT (initialize)
# as parameter types applicable to set commands, but enumerates no concrete
# settable parameter commands with value ranges.
# UNRESOLVED: no concrete settable variables enumerated in source

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited notifications documented in source

Macros

- id: enable_pwr_on_tw200_tw200h
  label: Enable PWR ON on TW200/TW200H
  steps:
    - "Turn on the projector"
    - "Send 'SPWRLVL 01' after the projector reaches the state where it can receive ESC/VP21 commands"
    - "Turn off the projector once"
    - "'PWR ON' (PWRON) becomes usable once the projector returns to standby state"

- id: enable_pwr_on_tw500
  label: Enable PWR ON on TW500
  steps:
    - "Set 'Network Monitoring' of 'Operation' in the 'Setting' menu to ON"
    - "Turn off the projector once"
    - "'PWR ON' (PWRON) becomes usable once the projector reaches standby state"

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source (as extracted) contains no safety warnings or interlock procedures;
# "note4" on PWR OFF is referenced but its content is not present in the extracted text.

Notes

• ESC/VP21 command codes are ASCII; commands can be sent from a PC terminal emulator.
• ESC/VP21 is transport-independent: serial (RS-232C), USB, and TCP/IP network are supported. Network use requires establishing a TCP session first (see ESC/VP.net protocol manual, not included in this source). USB transport has no schema enum and is omitted from protocols[].
• Serial: select "RS-232C" at Advanced Setting of the projector menu. Connector: D-Sub 9 pin, projector input: Control (RS-232C).
• Set commands take fixed parameters (e.g. ON, OFF, 21) or step parameters: INC (increment by one), DEC (decrement by one), INIT (initialize).
• Null command is a lone return key code (Hex 0D); usable as an operational check.
• Source command tables mark per-model availability (OK/-); several SOURCE codes are only valid on specific models. (*7) SOURCE 14 is get-only on TW420/TW450. (*3) TW10 source cycling does not stay within a terminal's selectable signals.
• Extracted source table for PWR/MUTE/MSEL rows was malformed; commands transcribed verbatim as printed (PWRON, PWROFF, "MUTE ON", "MUTE OFF", MSEL00–MSEL02).

Known Gaps

- "source document is the ESC/VP21 guide for home projector models (TW/PowerLite Home Cinema/Pro Cinema series); \"PowerLiteProZ Series1\" is not in the source's applicable-models list — command availability per model varies and is not confirmed for this entity"
- "TCP port number not stated (source defers to ESC/VP.net protocol manual, not included)"
- "USB transport is mentioned but no USB enum exists in the transport schema; not represented in protocols[]"
- "TCP port not stated in source; see ESC/VP.net manual"
- "response value set not enumerated in source - get format documented generically (command + \"?\" returns response parameter)"
- "no concrete settable variables enumerated in source"
- "no unsolicited notifications documented in source"
- "source (as extracted) contains no safety warnings or interlock procedures;"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source"
- "TCP port and ESC/VP.net session details not stated in source"
- "\"note4\" (PWR OFF footnote) content missing from extraction"
- "whether \"PowerLiteProZ Series1\" supports any of these commands is unconfirmed — model not in source's applicable-models list"
