Summary
Control spec for the Sharp/NEC E558 large-screen display, based on the Sharp/NEC Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1). The device is controllable over RS-232C serial and over wired/wireless LAN using a binary hex-byte command frame with a trailing checksum byte. Covers power, input switching, picture/volume/aspect adjustment, mutes, lens/shutter control, lens memory, status queries, and LAN/PIP/edge-blend settings.
Transport
protocols:
- serial
- tcp
# Source documents BOTH a serial (PC CONTROL / D-SUB 9P) connection and a LAN
# connection (wired RJ-45 and wireless). Both are explicit, so both emitted.
serial:
baud_rate: [4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200] # source lists all five as selectable; pick one to match software config
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: null # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated (source only states "Communication mode: Full duplex")
duplex: full # explicit in source
addressing:
port: 7142 # explicit: "Use TCP port number 7142 for sending and receiving commands."
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred from 015 POWER ON / 016 POWER OFF
- routable # inferred from 018 INPUT SW CHANGE
- queryable # inferred from numerous status request commands (009, 037, 078, 097, 305)
- levelable # inferred from 030-1 PICTURE ADJUST / 030-2 VOLUME ADJUST / 030-15 OTHER ADJUST
Actions
# Framing: every command is a hex-byte frame. Last byte CKS is a checksum =
# low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes. <ID1>=control ID, <ID2>=model
# code (value varies by model). Fixed commands below show the literal checksum
# verbatim from the source; parameterized commands show the template with the
# variable DATA byte(s) and the computed CKS placeholder.
#
# Source lists each numbered command as a distinct row - emitted one action each.
# Coverage: all 53 command-bearing entries from the source command list.

Events
# No unsolicited notifications documented.
# UNRESOLVED: source describes only request/response semantics; no push/event mechanism stated.
Macros
# No multi-step sequences explicitly described in source.
# UNRESOLVED: populate if a later source documents macro sequences.
Safety
confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: this refined source excerpt contains no explicit safety warnings,
# interlock procedures, or power-on sequencing requirements. Note: source states
# that during POWER ON / POWER OFF (incl. cooling time) no other command can be
# accepted - this is a device behavior note, not an interlock procedure. Never
# inferred; only populate from explicit source text.
Notes
- Command framing: All commands and responses are binary hex-byte frames. A command frame begins with a command-class byte; responses use a leading
2Xhbyte for success acknowledgement andAXhfor error.<ID1>= control ID,<ID2>= model code (model-dependent),<CKS>= checksum,<LEN>= data length. - Checksum (CKS): low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes. Worked example from source:
20h + 81h + 01h + 60h + 01h + 00h = 103h→ CKS =03h. - Serial config: RS-232C, cross cable, D-SUB 9P PC CONTROL port. Pinout: 2=RxD, 3=TxD, 5=GND, 7=RTS, 8=CTS. Baud rate selectable from 4800/9600/19200/38400/115200. Full duplex.
- LAN config: wired RJ-45 (10/100 Mbps auto) or wireless LAN unit. TCP port 7142 for command send/receive.
- Power-state lockout: while POWER ON is executing, or POWER OFF (including cooling time) is executing, no other command is accepted.
- Picture/Sound/Onscreen mute auto-clear: mute is turned off on input terminal switch, video signal switch, and (sound mute) volume adjustment.
- Lens drive: for continuous lens drive, send
7Fh(plus) or81h(minus) in DATA02 then00hto stop; re-issuing the same command during drive continues motion without a stop. - Usage-time resolution: lamp/filter usage time returned in one-second units but updated at one-minute intervals.
- Error codes: ERR1/ERR2 combinations documented in source (e.g. 00h/00h = unrecognized command, 01h/00h = invalid value, 02h/0Dh = command rejected because power is off, 02h/0Fh = no authority). Full table in source section 2.4.
- Sub-tables referenced but not in this excerpt: input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, sub-input setting values, and base-model-type codes live in the source Appendix "Supplementary Information by Command", which is not present in this refined excerpt.

Known Gaps
- "model name not printed in the refined source excerpt (supplied via input device context). Specific model confirmation, firmware range, and voltage/power specs are not present in this document."
- "flow control not stated (source only states \"Communication mode: Full duplex\")"
- "source describes only request/response semantics; no push/event mechanism stated."
- "populate if a later source documents macro sequences."
- "this refined source excerpt contains no explicit safety warnings,"
- "- Model name \"E558\" not printed in the refined source excerpt (supplied via input context); the source is the generic Sharp/NEC projector command reference BDT140013 Rev 7.1."
