Elo IDS
Elo Signature Capture
Large signage installations require a way to manage the devices from a central location. Elo IDS displays are designed with this in mind.All Elo IDS displays support a monitor diagnostics and control protocol that enables remote network device management with a host PC. The host controller can be either an Elo computer module (ECM) or customer-sourced.
This note defines connectivity requirements, physical interface, electrical interface, and command set protocols for the Elo IDS remote diagnostic interface.
Overview
Each IDS display has a dedicated "input" connector for the remote diagnostic and control interface. A dedicated "output" connector allows simultaneous diagnostic and control of up to 100 daisy-chained IDS displays. The following diagram illustrates the concept:
The communication between host PC and IDS displays uses the RxD and TxD signals of the RS-232 standard (asynchronous serial communication). All IDS displays are DTEs, so null-modem cables that cross the RxD and TxD signals need to be used.
Cable and Host PC Requirements
Null modem cables that cross the RxD and TxD signals (cable pins 2 and 3) need to be used. The interface does not use the DTR, DSR, RTS, or CTS handshaking signals, so it is not important whether those sets of signals are crossed or not.
Each IDS unit ships with one 2-meter null modem serial cable.
- The maximum cable length between the user's host PC and the first IDS display in the daisy chain is 15 meters.
- The maximum cable length between any two IDS displays in the daisy-chain is 100 meters.
- Host PC signal requirements for RxD and TXD should meet RS-232 standards.
