1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to explain in detail the commands and steps that can be used to control a
Philips display via RS232C.
1.2 Definitions, Abbreviations and Acronyms

NACK Not Acknowledge
NAV Not Available

2. COMMAND PACKET FORMAT
2.1 Physical Specifications
1. Baud Rate : 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600(default), 19200, 38400, 57600

2. Data bits: 8
3. Parity : None
4. Stop Bit : 1
5. Flow Control : None
6. The Pin Assignments for DB9 male connector:
Male D-Sub 9-Pin (outside view)

1 NC
2 RXD Input to LCD Monitor
3 TXD Output from LCD Monitor
4 NC
5 GND
6 NC
7 NC
8 NC
9 NC
frame GND
Note: A crossover cable (null modem) is needed for connection to the host controller:
Philips Signage displays use RXD, TXD and GND pins for RS-232C control. For RS-232C cable, the reverse
type cable should be used.
2.2 Communication Procedure
Control commands can be sent from a host controller via the RS232 connection. A new command should not
be sent until the previous command is acknowledged. However, if a response is not received within 500
milliseconds a retry may be triggered. Every valid command receives an ACK. A command that is valid but not
supported in the current implementation will be responded to with a NAV (Not Available). If the command
buffer is corrupt (transmission errors) the command will be responded to with a NACK. The display operates
according to the received command. If the command is a valid “Get” command, the display responds with the
requested info. If the command is a valid “Set” command allowed, the display performs the requested operation.
Figure1 and Figure2 explain the mechanism of the Get and Set commands.

2.3 Command Format
The RS232 packet format:
MsgSize Control Group Data[0] Data[1] ... Data[N] Checksum
Every field of packet format consists of one byte – MsgSize = 1 byte, etc.
In detail:
Number of Field Name of Field Description
Message Size has to be calculated in the fallowing way:
MsgSize + Control + Data(0) + … + Data(N) + Checksum
Byte 1: MsgSize
Range = 3 to 40 (0x3 to 0x28).
Message Control.
Bit 7..0: Monitor ID
Byte 2: Control Signal mode: Display Address range from 1 to 255

Broadcast mode: Display Address is 0 which indicates no ACK or Report is
expected.
Group ID range: Off(for old command),1-254

Monitor ID Group ID
Byte 3: Group 0-255 0-254 range
0 0 broadcast
1-255 0 Control by Monitor ID
0-255 1-254 Control by Group ID
Data.
Data[0] to
Byte 4 to Byte 39: This field can be also empty.
Data[N]
If not empty then the range of Data Size, N = 0 to 36 (0x24).
Checksum.
Range = 0 to 255 (0xFF).
Algorithm: The EXCLUSIVE-OR (XOR) of all bytes in the message except the
Last Byte: Checksum checksum itself.
Checksum = [MSG-SIZE] XOR [CONTROL] XOR DATA[0] … XOR
DATA[N]
3. MESSAGES - SYSTEM
3.1 Communication Control
This defines the feedback command from monitor to host controller when it receives the display command from
the host controller, depending on the commands availability, the command reported back to host controller can
be one of the ACK, NACK or NAV.
Note: there is no reply message when the wrong ID address is being used.
3.1.1 Message-Report
Bytes Bytes Description Bits Description

DATA[0] 0x00 = Generic report message after Get or Set message
Communication
Control - Report
DATA[1] Communication 0x06 = Acknowledge (ACK)
Control 0x15 = Not Acknowledge (NACK)
0x18 = Not Available (NAV). Command not available, not
relevant or cannot execute
Example ACK reply: (Display address 01)

MsgSize Control Group Data (0) Data (1) Checksum Description
0x06 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xnn Command is well executed.
Example NACK reply: (Display address 01)

0x06 0x01 0x00 0x17 0x01 0xnn No this command code-Data(0), the system will
reply “NACK”.
Example NAV reply: (Display address 01)

0x06 0x01 0x00 0x18 0x01 0xnn Checksum error, the system will reply “NAV”.

0x06 0x01 0x00 0x18 0x04 0xnn No this parameter-Data(1), the system will reply
“NAV”.

0x06 0x01 0x00 0x18 0x01 0xnn Command is correct, while system is already in
stand –by mode, so reply “NAV”.
Example No reply: (Display address 01- not active ID)

0x06 0x01 0x00 0x18 0x01 0xnn Command is correct, while system would NOT
reply any message due to it’s not active.
Example No reply: (Display address 00- Broadcast ID)

0x06 0x00 0x00 0x18 0x01 0xnn Command is correct, all systems would NOT reply
any message due to “Daisy Chain”’s limitation-
Collision might occur.

(2) For other models, the maximum Position value is 25 (hexadecimal value is 0x19).
(3) The Position is counted from left to right, then up to down in the Tiling Wall.
Example: See Figure 3 for the hexadecimal Position value in a 4x3 (H Monitors x V Monitors) Tiling Wall.
Note 2:
(1) For Zero Bezel models, the maximum H Monitors are 15 and the maximum V Monitors are 10. The
formulas for DATA[4], V Monitors, and H Monitors are as follows:
H Monotirs = MOD(Data[4], 15) (Data[4] ÷ 15, take the remainder)
V Monitors = INT(Data[4], 15) + 1 (Data[4] ÷ 15, take the quotient and plus one)
Data[4]= (V Monitors – 1) x 15 + H Monitors
Example: If H Monitors = 12 and V Monitors = 6, the Data[4] value will be (6–1) x 15 + 12 = 87
(2) For other models, the maximum H Monitors and V Monitors are 5, and the formulas for DATA[4], V
Monitors, and H Monitors are as follows:
H Monotors = MOD(Data[4], 5) (Data[4] ÷ 5, take the remainder)
V Monitors = INT(Data[4], 5) + 1 (Data[4] ÷ 5, take the quotient and plus one)
Data[4]= (V Monitors – 1) x 5 + H Monitors
Example: If H Monitors = 4 and V Monitors = 3, the Data[4] value will be (3–1) x 5 + 4 = 14.
