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) or3xh(with data) or0xh/1xhfor some query commands; error responses useAxh/Bxh/A0h/A3hetc. 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.
