Sharp/NEC ME651-PC5 Control Spec

Summary

Sharp/NEC ME651-PC5 large-venue projector controlled via binary hex command protocol over RS-232C (PC CONTROL port, D-SUB 9P) or wired/wireless LAN (TCP port 7142). Spec covers the vendor Projector Control Command Reference Manual rev 8.0 (June 29, 2022): power, input switching, mutes, picture/volume/lens adjustment, status queries, and network settings commands.

Transport

Events

# Source documents no unsolicited notifications - protocol is command/response only.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step sequences described in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# Source reports an interlock switch status bit (009 DATA09 Bit1 "The interlock
# switch is open") but documents no interlock procedure or safety warnings.
# Nothing to populate from explicit source text.

Notes

• Frame structure: command = <block> <code> 00h 00h <LEN> [DATA...] <CKS>; response = <block+20h> <code> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> [DATA...] <CKS> on success, <block+A0h> ... with ERR1 ERR2 on failure.
• Checksum: sum all preceding bytes, use low-order byte. Source example: 20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h → CKS = 03h.
• ID1 = projector control ID; ID2 = model code (varies by model).
• POWER ON/OFF accept no other commands during transition (including cooling).
• Picture/onscreen mute auto-cancel on input or signal switch; sound mute also cancels on volume adjustment.
• Lamp/filter usage times returnable in 1-second units but updated at 1-minute intervals.
• Some models cannot receive commands in standby mode (source 1.1).
• Serial cable: cross cable, D-SUB 9P; only pins 2 (RxD), 3 (TxD), 5 (GND), 7 (RTS), 8 (CTS) used.
• LAN: 10/100 Mbps auto-switchable, IEEE802.3/802.3u; TCP 7142. Wireless LAN via optional wireless LAN unit.
• Source: Projector Control Command Reference Manual rev 8.0 (June 29, 2022), No.BDT140014 appendix series.

Known Gaps

- "source is a multi-model generic command reference; model-specific appendix tables (\"Supplementary Information by Command\": input terminal values, aspect values, eco mode values, sub input values, base model types) are not included in the refined source, so several parameter enum values are unresolved."
- "flow control not stated in source (RTS/CTS pins wired in D-SUB 9P pinout)"
- "not present in source\""
- "value list in vendor appendix, not present in source\""
- "value list truncated in source\""
- "value list in vendor appendix, not present in source. Returns Light mode or Lamp mode depending on projector\""
- "base model type values in vendor appendix\""
- "eco mode values in vendor appendix, not present in source"
- "aspect values in vendor appendix, not present in source"
- "no multi-step sequences described in source"
- "model-specific appendix tables (input terminal values, aspect values, eco mode values, sub input values, base model types, standby mode command reception) referenced throughout but not included in refined source"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source"
- "default baud rate among the five selectable rates not stated"
