IR/Serial SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.)
Command Description
CTON Set the total time of IR pulses transmitted and is stored in non-volatile memory. This command sets the pulse length for
each pulse generated by the 'CH' or 'XCH' send commands in tenths of seconds.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTON',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CTON',20"
Sets the IR pulse duration to 2 seconds.
GET BAUD Get the IR port’s current DATA mode communication parameters. The port sends the parameters to the device that
requested the information. Only valid if the port is in Data Mode (see SET MODE command). The port responds with:
<port #> <baud>,<parity>,<data bits>,<stop bits>
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET BAUD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET BAUD'"
System response example:
PORT 9 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
GET MODE Poll the IR/Serial port's configuration parameters and report the active mode settings to the device requesting the
information. The port responds with:
<port #> <mode>,<carrier>,<io link channel>.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET MODE'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET MODE"
The system could respond with:
PORT 4 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
IROFF Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands being output on the designated port.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'IROFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'IROFF"
Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port.
POD Disable previously active 'PON' (power on) or 'POF' (power off) command settings. Channel 255 changes are enabled.
This command is used in conjunction with the I/O Link command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POD"
Disables the 'PON' and 'POF' command settings on the IR_1 device.
POF Turn Off a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input. If at any time the IR
sensor input reads that the device is ON (such as if someone turned it on manually at the front panel), IR function 28 (if
available) or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an attempt to turn the device back OFF. If three attempts fail,
the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer.
If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer and trying to turn
the device OFF until a 'PON' or 'POD' command is received. If the IR port fails to turn the device OFF, a PUSH and
RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure error. You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands
when an IR device has a linked I/O channel. Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of this command.
You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POF'"
Sends power down IR commands 28 (if present) or 9 to the IR_1 device.
