Sharp-NEC P627UL Series Control Spec

Summary

Laser projector supporting RS-232C serial and wired TCP/IP control. Supports power on/off, input routing, picture/sound mute, volume adjustment, lens control, eco mode, and queryable status. Commands use hex-encoded binary format with checksum.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: most parameters are settable via Actions rather than separate Variables.
# Variables section retained for standalone settable parameters not tied to discrete commands.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited event notifications described in source. Device only responds to commands.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no explicit multi-step macros described in source.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks:
  - description: Power on command blocks all other commands until power-on sequence completes.
  - description: Power off command blocks all other commands until cooling completes.
  - description: Some models cannot receive commands in standby mode (model-dependent standby mode setting required).
  - description: Lens control stop command (00h in DATA02) required to stop continuous lens drive (7Fh/81h).
# UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures beyond command timing notes.

Notes

Command format: 20h <ID1> <ID2> 0Ch <DATA01>-<DATA12> <CKS> — all values hexadecimal. Checksum = low-order byte of sum of all preceding bytes. Response format varies by success/failure (22h/23h success vs A0h/A2h/A3h failure).

Power commands (015, 016) block other commands during execution — no pipelining.

Known Gaps

- "P627UL-specific input terminal codes not in appendix (appendix lists older NP-series models); TCP port 7142 confirmed for LAN control but serial-only file was provided"
- "flow control not explicitly stated"
- "most parameters are settable via Actions rather than separate Variables."
- "no unsolicited event notifications described in source. Device only responds to commands."
- "no explicit multi-step macros described in source."
- "no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures beyond command timing notes."
- "serial flow control (RTS/CTS) pin present in pinout but not confirmed in communication settings table"
- "P627UL-specific appendix tables missing from source; only older NP-series models listed in supplementary info"
- "TCP port 7142 from LAN section not used in serial-only spec but included for completeness since source covers both interfaces"
