ESC/VP21 Command User’s Guide for Business Projectors

1. Introduction to ESC/VP21

ESC/VP21 is a control command and protocol for Epson projectors, which is used for A/V controller to control and

monitor Epson projectors. The command codes are comprised of ASCII codes. Therefore the command codes can be

understood very easily and you can easily control projectors using a PC with a terminal emulator such as Microsoft Hyper

terminal.

Since ESC/VP21 is independent of communication protocols. Serial, USB or TCP/IP network can be used to transmit the

commands to projectors.

* Serial connection

A/V controller normally use as serial connection to control projectors. Refer toAppendix for details.

* USB connection

A USB interface can be used to control a projector. Refer to Appendix for details.

* Network connection

After establishing a TCP session, ESC/VP21 commands can be sent to projectors. Refer to ESC/VP.net protocol manual

2. ESC/VP21 Command Formats

2.1. Set command format

A set command consists of a command and a parameter. Projector returns a colon after executing the command.

There are two types of parameters. One is fixed such as ON, OFF, or 21. Other is a step parameter such as INC, DEC or

INIT.

INC: increments the parameter by one.

DEC: decrements the parameter by one.

INIT: initializes the parameter.

2.2. Get command format

A get command consists of a command and ?. Projector returns a response parameter after executing the command.

2.3. Null command

The null command is as command code of the return key code (Hex 0D). Projector returns a colon。The null command

can be used to confirm that the projector is in operation.

2.4. Illegal commands

Projector returns “ERR”and a return key code (Hex 0D) and a colon when it receives invalid commands.

4. Projector state and commands

4.1. Standby state (Operation indicator is in orange)

When a projector is in a standby state, executable commands depends on projector models and standby configuration (network

on, network off). Refer to the following table.

(note1)EMP-61/81/830/835/740/745/821/828 returns “ERR”when it received commands other than PWR ON, PWR?, LAMP? and

Null commands.

(note2) EMP-7800/7850 returns “ERR”when it received commands other than PWR ON, PWR?, SOURCE? and Null commands.

(note3) EMP-8300/9300 returns “ERR”when it received commands other than PWR ON, SOURCE xx, PWR?, SOURCE? and Null

commands

All projectors returns “ERR”when the command format is not good. All projectors returns “ERR”when the projector is not ready to

reply the command. A null command is command name for “ENTER”or “RETURE”key of the keyboard the reply is “:”.

4.2. Power on state (Operation indicator is in green)

All commands are executable.

5. Command transmission timing

5.1. Standby state

1). For all mode with the standby configuration of “network on”

The first command can be sent anytime and the subsequent commands should be sent after receiving a colon from the

projector.

2). Other than 1)

PWR ON can be sent any time.

5.2. Power on state

A command should be sent after receiving the colon of the previous command from the projector. The following is an

exception.When the PWR OFF command is sent to 7800/7850/8300/9300 with the standby configuration of “network off”,

the subsequent command should be sent 10 seconds after the colon is received.

In case that you can not wait for the colon and send a command after receiving it, instead send a command after the

execution time listed in the following table.

10seconds

SOURCE (note3)

5seconds (note2)

All others

3seconds

(note1) When a projector receives the PWR ON command, it tries to ignite the lamp by activating the ballast unit. In

case that the lamp fails to be ignited, it tries to ignite the lamp three times at maximum. When the lamp fails to

be ignited three times, it is a lamp failure.

The projector returns a colon within 40, 70 and 100 seconds when successful in the first, second and third times

respectively.

(note2) When the input vide sync signal is stable, a colon is returned within 5 seconds. However, it may takemore than

5 seconds when the input video sync signal is unstable.

(note3) Projector initiates the process of the input video signal recognition when it receives a SOURCE command. If the

signal of the video input is changing (for example, from SVGA to XGA by A/V controller) during the process of

the input video signal recognition, the projector returns “ERR”.

(note4) Projectors execute the PWR OFF command after they start completely.

(note5) Projectors might return “ERR”when “Quick Setup”and “Auto Focus”functions are set to ON.

5.3. Warning and abnormal cases

Projector executes commands normally while a warning indicator such as a high temperature warning is on.

Projector does not execute commands nor return a colon when the projector is in an abnormal state such as a lamp

failure and abnormal high temperature.

As for EMP-6100/6000, EMP-1715/1710/1705/1700, EMP-1815/1810, EMP-S5/X5/83/822 and the following models,

when an abnormal state is continued for 130 seconds after, PWR ON command becomes possible.

6. Error Status

A projector returns the error status when a projector receives "ERR?" command.

The following projectors can return the error status while the projectors become

the error status after cooling down.

EMP-1700/1705/1710/1715, 6000/6100/6110/6010, 1815/1810/1825, S5/X5/83/

EB-G5000/G5100/G5150/G5200W/G5300/G5350

And later models.

[The other models except the above models]

The models except the above models can return the error status while the projectors

The following table shows the return codes and the meaning of error status.
