Introduction
Welcome to the commands user manual of the Audac ARU2xx series. This manual describes the commands whereby
the range of relay units can be controlled using their remote control ports. The ARU2xx series can be controlled using
the web interface, audac touch 2 or by RS485 and TCP/IP commands which are listed further in this document.

3
Using the commands
Depending of the type of device the different kinds of communication ports are:
- RS-485 port
- TCP/IP port

Command overview
Startsymbol | Destination | Source | Command | Argument(s) | Checksum | Stopsymbol
Each command is followed by an ‘x’ character, which represents the number of the slot whereto the command
is sent. If the audio player doesn’t support multiple slots, the number ‘1’ shall always be used.
Example: Get IP---
ASCII: #|S001|F001|GIP|U|return
HEX: 237C533030317c463030317c4749507c557c72657475726e0a
Notes
• The checksum is CRC-16 excluding the ‘#’. The checksum can always be replaced by
‘U’, which is always accepted.
• Return in ASCII : <CR> <LF> HEX : 0x0D 0x0A (carriage return & line feed)
• Source address has a maximum length of 4 characters and cannot contain ‘|’ or ‘#’
Command flow
1) The client sends a command to the relay unit (Command)
2) The relay unit acknowledges the command by returning the same
command and a ‘+’ as Argument. (Acknowledge)
3) The relay unit updates with the new information (Update)
