Serial Node
The Serial Node speaks to the gear that speaks serial — projectors, media players and legacy or third-party equipment — over RS-232 and RS-485.
Real installations include equipment that predates your show control, or that speaks its own protocol. The Serial Node bridges that gear into the platform, sending commands and reading responses so a projector or a third-party controller becomes just another node in your logic — powered on with the show, shut down at close, and queried for status in between.
- Two isolated serial ports
- RS-232 and RS-485, switchable per port
- Send command strings and read responses
- Raw, Modbus or custom protocol modes
- Configurable baud rate and command templates
- IP65 sealed, networked, field-updatable
The projector that joins the show
An installation has an existing projector that only accepts RS-232 commands. The Serial Node sends it the power-on string when the attraction opens, switches its input on cue, and powers it down at close — so a piece of legacy gear behaves like a first-class member of the platform, with no separate control box.
