Summary

Sharp LCC6500 Series LCD monitor controlled via RS-232C and TCP/IP. Protocol uses a binary-encoded ASCII message format with Header, Message, Check Code (BCC), and Delimiter structure. Supports VCP-style get/set operations and CTL command messages.

Notes

Communication packet interval must exceed 600msec. Monitor disconnects TCP connection after 15 minutes of inactivity. Command format: SOH + Reserved + Destination + Source + MessageType + MessageLength + STX + Data + ETX + BCC + CR. Destination address mapping uses Monitor ID table (1=A, 2=B, ..., 26=Z, then hex). Group broadcast uses '*' (2Ah).

summary: "All 16 spec actions map one-to-one to documented CTL and VCP message-type operations in the source; transport values confirmed verbatim. (6 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "LAN port stated as 7142; RS-232C port not stated (uses standard D-Sub 9-pin)"
- "specific VCP opcode table not included in source (referenced as chapter 8)"
- "detailed CTL command parameter structures not fully specified in excerpt"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated"
- "voltage/current/power specifications not stated"
- "error recovery sequences not documented"
