Sharp PN-UHxxx Series Control Spec

Summary

Sharp PN-UHxxx series LCD flat panel display. External control via RS-232C (9600 baud, 8/N/1) and TCP/IP (port 7142). Two command types: VCP (Variable Content Protocol) for read/write parameters, and CTL (Control) for system operations. Requires >600ms packet interval between commands. Supports power control, input selection, audio/video parameter adjustment, and temperature monitoring.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source does not describe unsolicited event notifications from monitor
# The monitor only replies to controller commands; no push-style events documented

Macros

# The document provides two complete procedure examples:
#
# Backlight change procedure (5 steps):
# 1. Get current backlight (VCP get, page 00, op 10)
# 2. Monitor replies with current value and max (64h=100)
# 3. Set backlight to new value (VCP set)
# 4. Monitor replies with confirmation
# 5. Save settings (CTL-0C command)
#
# Temperature read procedure (4 steps):
# 1. Select sensor (VCP set, page 02, op 78, value 01)
# 2. Monitor replies with sensor count and selection
# 3. Read temperature (VCP get, page 02, op 79)
# 4. Monitor replies with 2's complement temperature value

# Common command sequence for any parameter change:
# Get → Set → (optional Get to verify) → Save Current Settings

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source
# Note: monitor returns NULL (busy) during power-on/off/auto-setup operations;
# controller must re-connect after 15 minutes of no activity (TCP)

Notes

• Command packet structure: SOH(01h) + Reserved('0') + Destination + Source + MessageType + MessageLength(2 bytes ASCII) + STX + Message + ETX + CheckCode(BCC) + CR(0Dh)
• BCC = XOR of all bytes from byte1 to ETX (D1 xor D2 xor ... xor D16)
• Message types: A=Command, B=Command reply, C=Get parameter, D=Get reply, E=Set parameter, F=Set reply
• Destination address: Monitor ID 1-100 maps to ASCII 'A'-'X'; '*'=2Ah for broadcast
• Source address: Controller always '0'(30h); monitor echoes its own ID in replies
• IP default: DHCP=On; port 7142 fixed; 15-minute connection timeout
• 600ms minimum packet interval required between commands
• Temperature readout uses 2's complement encoding (see temperature table in source)
• Remote control code sending (CTL-C210) allows sending IR codes directly via RS-232C
