Summary

Projector control spec for the Sharp/NEC As60S Pa41Zl, covering the binary control protocol documented in the "Projector Control Command Reference Manual" (BDT140013 Revision 7.1). The device supports RS-232C serial control and TCP/IP (wired/wireless LAN) control. Commands are framed hex sequences with a control ID, model code, and trailing checksum byte (low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes).

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
  - serial
addressing:
  port: 7142  # stated: "Use TCP port number 7142 for sending and receiving commands."
serial:
  baud_rate: 115200  # source lists 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps; default not stated, highest listed shown
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none  # source states full-duplex communication mode; flow_control not explicitly stated
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

traits:
  - powerable    # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present
  - queryable    # inferred: many status/info request commands present
  - routable     # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE and audio select commands present
  - levelable    # inferred: PICTURE / VOLUME / ASPECT / lens adjustment commands present

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: settable parameters mirror the *_SET and *_ADJUST actions above
# (volume, picture gains, aspect, eco mode, projector name, PIP/PbP, edge blending,
# audio select, lens memory options). Source does not document default value ranges
# for all of them outside the GAIN PARAMETER REQUEST 3 (060-1) response shape.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source describes no unsolicited / push notifications; all data is returned
# in response to an explicit request command.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source describes no explicit multi-step command sequences.

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - power_off  # source: "While this command is turning off the power (including the cooling time), no other command can be accepted."
  - power_on   # source: "While this command is turning on the power, no other command can be accepted."
interlocks: []
# Source documents command-locking during power transitions but no explicit safety
# interlocks, power-on sequencing requirements, or operator safety warnings.

Notes

  • Command framing: every command is a hex byte sequence; the final byte is a checksum = low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes. Example from source: 20h 81h 01h 60h 01h 00h <CKS> → 20+81+01+60+01+00 = 103h → CKS = 03h.
  • Response framing: success responses echo the command opcode with the high nibble changed to 2xh (no data) or 3xh (with data) or 0xh/1xh for some query commands; error responses use Axh/Bxh/A0h/A3h etc. with <ERR1> <ERR2> payload from the error code list (section 2.4).
  • Parameters ID1 (control ID) and ID2 (model code) appear in responses but are not part of the request payloads shown in the command tables.
  • RS-232C: cross (null-modem) cable required; PC CONTROL port is D-SUB 9P, pins 2/3 crossed, pin 5 GND, 7/8 crossed for RTS/CTS.
  • LAN: TCP port 7142 (stated). Wired RJ-45 pinout and wireless LAN support documented; wireless LAN unit model-specific.
  • Lamp/filter usage times returned in one-second units but updated at one-minute intervals.

```

## Known Gaps

```yaml
- "protocol is binary hex-framed; parameter values for some adjustment targets reference an external \"Appendix / Supplementary Information by Command\" not present in the source text (e.g. input terminal map, aspect values, eco mode values, sub-input values, base model type values)."
- "appendix not in source).\""
- "settable parameters mirror the *_SET and *_ADJUST actions above"
- "source describes no unsolicited / push notifications; all data is returned"
- "source describes no explicit multi-step command sequences."
```
