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

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
