Communication Format

A(M)156XN(P)L’s RS-232C Packet Structure

Communication Format
The basic unit of AN200’s communication is
called ‘PACKET’.
Communication between camera and user is All bytes of the packet are ASCII format.
available by using RS-232C. The first byte of the packet is called ‘Header’.
And the second and third bytes are ‘ID’ of
Parameter of RS-232C the camera. And the forth and the fifth
bytes are ‘Command Message’. And from
• Baud Rate : 9.6kbps the sixth to the ninth bytes are ‘Command
• Start bit : 1 Option’.
• Stop bit : 1 And the last two bytes are ‘Check sum’ of
• Data bits : 8 the packet.
• None Parity The check sum is sum of 9 bytes(byte0~byte8).
• Flow control : XON/XOFF,RTS/CTS is • The header must be ‘*’.
not supported. • All bytes of the packet must be a Capital
Letter.

Bytes of a packet Check Sum Method

• Byte 0 : Header The value of check sum is calculated as

It must be the ASCII code ‘*’ (2A hex) follows.

• Byte 1 : High character of camera ID Check Sum = Byte0 + Byte1+ … + Byte8

Byte 2 : Low character of camera ID

Ex) current camera ID : 43 decimal Ex) if ID = 43 d (2B hex), command = 75 hex,

43 decimal = 2B hex command option = 0000
Byte 1 : ASCII code ‘2’(32 hex)
Byte 2 : ASCII code ‘B’(42 hex) command byte0~byte8 : * 2B 75 0000
ASCII format
• Byte 3, Byte 4 : Command : 2A 32 42 37 35 30 30 30 30
Sum = 2A+32+42+37+35+30+30+30+30
• Byte 5 ~ Byte 8 : Option of command
= 1CA hex
So, the Check Sum = CA
• Byte 9 : High byte of check sum
Byte 10 : Low byte of check sum
So the complete command packet
= * 2B 75 0000 CA

Advice for communication

• If the command packet is

transmitted only 4 bytes, then the
camera will wait for remain 7
bytes continuously.
At that moment, if a new packet
is transmitted to the camera, the
previous 4 bytes will be ignored.

• If the camera doesn’t send any

response packet, there should be
some troubles in communication
line or any other communication
condition.

• If the camera response mode is

send Command response packet.
Even if the response mode is Skip

the Data response packet will be

protocol mode. We only support 7 commands orders in pelco-d standard protocol.
If users needs more infomation, please refer to Pelco-D protocol in Pelco web site.

• Pelco-D protocol Byte Format

RS485 -- 2400bps, 1 Start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity

• Pelco-D protocol Message Format.

BYTE1 BYTE2 BYTE3 BYTE4 BYTE5 BYTE6 BYTE7
Sync Byte Address CMD1 CMD2 DATA1 DATA2 CHECKSUM

The Sync Byte is always 0xFF ( If Camera ID is 0xFF, then The Sync Error is possible )

• Pelco-D protocol Check sum Format.

Byte 2 + Byte 3 + Byte 4 + Byte 5+ Byte 6 = Check sum
The check sum is the 8 bit (modulo 256) sum of the bytes( 2 through 6) in the packet
