Code of Fixed Code Programmable Remote Controller

2007/3/31

Programmable Remote Controllers (PRC) such as Remocon, Jenius for fixed code applications e.g. garage doors, usually have a MCU inside and a 93C46 as memory.

Here, I try to read out the data of the 93C46 and try to figure out it's meaning. 

I use JDM programmer and IC-Prog to programming 93C46.

First, you have to short circuit the 8.2V Zener diode in JDM, to low down the MCLR from 13.3V to 5.1V. A jumper is good for this, and very convenient for back to 13.3V.

Next, you need a 6 pins connecter.

Be careful. the outlets maybe different, check your PRC.

Here are pin map of Remocon & Jenius

================================================

One of the most popular fixed code encoder is HT12E, form the datasheet, we see..

Sum up as:

1 pulse for 1bit, 13 bits for 1 frame ( Sync + address + data code)

bit width =  basic pulse width *3

low level first, high level follow

width of low level leading the Sync pulse is basic pulse width *36

not floating code

==========================================

And this is code of  "Remocon" Programmable Remote Controller for HT12E

We can identify there are 4 sets of codes

No. 1 : 2818 0000 0000 8D02 0D14 3900

No. 2 : 2810 0000 0000 9602 0D14 3A00

No. 3: 2818 0000 0000 9002 0D13 3900

No. 4 : 2810 0000 0000 9802 0D14 3A00

Each set respond to a button. In this case, button 1 & button 3 have same action, Button 2 & 4 are the same.

The meaning of each byte of set No.1 are : 

2818 0000 0000 respond to address / data to be sent. format as: Sync, A0, A1,.....AD10, AD11.  binary code as 0010 1000 0001 1......total 13 Bits. Address is different for each system, and data is different for each action.

8D02 0D14 3900 mean the wave form format:

8D02 = x028D = 653 decimal, mean the pilot period of Sync equal to (0.02 mS * 653) = 13.06 mS (actually, it supposed to 36 times the basic pulse width)

0D14 : 0D =13 decimal, mean total 13 bits a frame.。These bytes must exactly as what they are.

0D14 : 14 =20 decimal, is basic pulse width ( 0.02 mS * 20) = 0.4mS, ***The 0.02mS here is depend of the PRC, may not same as yours, I calculated this from what I saw, the wave from.

3900 : 39 =57 decimal, represent the total width of a bit (low and high ), in this case it's ( 0.02 mS * 57) = 1.14 mS,  (actually, it supposed to 3 times the basic pulse width)

3900 : 00 represent HT12E bit format -- low level first, follow by high level.。These bytes must exactly as what they are.

===============================================

This is code of  "Jenius" Programmable Remote Controller for HT12E

Almost same as "Remocon", but has three more bytes at end of each set.

The extra bytes of set No. 1 are 4488 0000 0000, it's address / data code likes 1E88 0000 0000, but may not the same. I guess, maybe the copy machine not sure about the address / data code, and want to make another "back up" of address / data code, to raise ratio of  success copy.

This sounds good, but may with cost. The cost is shorter range & delay respond. because the PRC send one error frame, after a correct frame, if the 'back up" code is wrong.

==================================================

Another most popular fixed code encoder is PT2262, form the datasheet, we see..

Sum up as:

2 pulse for 1bit, 25 bits for 1 frame ( address + data code + Sync )

bit width =  basic pulse width *4

high level first, low level follow

width of low level follow the Sync pulse is basic pulse width *31

floating code : 01

The format is different from HT12E

==========================================

And this is code of  "Remocon" Programmable Remote Controller for PT2262

4 sets of codes

No. 1 : 33C3 CC00 0000 0002 1910 4201

The meaning of each byte of set No.1 are : 

33C3 CC00 0000 respond to address / data to be sent. format as: A0, A1,.....AD10, AD11, Sync. .  Binary code as 0011 0011 1100 0011 1100 1100 0......total 25 Bits. PT2262 code as 0101 1001 1010 + Sync.

0002 1910 4201  mean the wave form format same as previous description, please note that :

4201 : 01 represent PT2262 bit format -- high level first, follow by low level.

===============================================

That's all I know. But not all IT IS.

If you know something I don't, about fixed code Programmable Remote Controller, please email me, I will very appreciate.

I use Oscilloscope 2.51 to observe the output on PC...., nice program.
