Operating the PL-18 Control Port Expander

Operating the PL-18 Control Port Expander
The PL-18 is typically used to expand the number of ports available to an
RC series remote control device. The combined RC 1 and PL-18 are
configured from the RC device using RC-SV software that can be
downloaded from the Kramer Web site 2.
The PL-18 can also be operated directly from a PC, touch screen system, or
other serial controller using the serial commands of Kramer’s Protocol
3000. For an explanation of all control commands, see section 9.
In addition to operating the PL-18, machine software can be upgraded, and
device parameters can be accessed and changed using P3K Wizard software
also available from the Kramer Web site2 (see section 10).
