Sharp/NEC LED FA015I2 Control Spec

Summary

Sharp/NEC LED FA015I2 projector. Control via RS-232C serial (PC CONTROL D-SUB 9P) and TCP/IP LAN (wired RJ-45 / wireless). Binary hex command protocol with frame markers (20h/A0h etc.), control ID, model code, and trailing checksum byte.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
  - serial
addressing:
  port: 7142  # stated: "Use TCP port number 7142 for sending and receiving commands"
serial:
  baud_rate: 115200  # source: 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps supported (auto); 115200 listed first
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  communication_mode: full_duplex  # verbatim from source
  flow_control: null  # UNRESOLVED: RTS/CTS pins present on D-SUB 9P but flow control mode not stated in comm conditions table
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

traits:
  - powerable       # inferred: 015 POWER ON / 016 POWER OFF
  - queryable       # inferred: many 078/097/305 status requests
  - routable        # inferred: 018 INPUT SW CHANGE
  - levelable       # inferred: 030-1 PICTURE ADJUST, 030-2 VOLUME ADJUST, 053 LENS CONTROL

Actions

# Binary hex payloads verbatim from source. Frame: lead bytes are the command
# request; trailing byte is CKS checksum (sum of all preceding bytes, low byte).
# <ID1> = control ID set on projector; <ID2> = model code (per-model, UNRESOLVED
# for FA015I2). For parameterized commands the template shows the variable byte(s).

Notes

• Source doc: "Projector Control Command Reference Manual" BDT140013 Revision 7.1. Generic across Sharp/NEC projector family — not FA015I2-specific. ID2 (model code) value UNRESOLVED.
• Checksum (CKS) = low byte of sum of all preceding bytes. Worked example in source: 20h 81h 01h 60h 01h 00h → sum 103h → CKS 03h.
• Communication mode full duplex; baud auto-negotiable among 4800/9600/19200/38400/115200. Default 115200 assumed (listed first) — mark UNRESOLVED if device differs.
• Serial cable: cross (null-modem). D-SUB 9P pin 2=RxD, 3=TxD, 5=GND, 7=RTS, 8=CTS.
• Lamp/filter usage returned in seconds, updated at 1-minute intervals.
• Lamp remaining life (%) may return negative if replacement deadline exceeded.
• Data updates (lamp/filter usage) lag at 1-minute intervals despite 1-second resolution.

54 commands enumerated (all source rows). Spec draft complete. Gaps: Appendix value tables, ID2 model code, default baud, flow_control — all marked UNRESOLVED.

Known Gaps

- "source doc is generic \"Projector Control Command Reference Manual\" BDT140013 Rev 7.1 — no FA015I2-specific model code (ID2), input terminal value table, aspect value table, or eco-mode value table provided. Appendix \"Supplementary Information by Command\" referenced but not present in source."
- "RTS/CTS pins present on D-SUB 9P but flow control mode not stated in comm conditions table"
- "settable parameters are encoded as DATA bytes inside Actions"
- "no unsolicited notification documented in source."
- "no multi-step sequences documented in source."
- "no further interlock procedures or power-on sequencing in source."
- "Appendix \"Supplementary Information by Command\" not present in source — input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, sub-input values, base model type values all missing."
- "ID2 model code for FA015I2 not stated."
