I have almost the exact same set up. I have a DMPS300, a slave MC50, an RMC-100 at each display, and 2 80" monitors. I am using a relatively standard Sharp Module and using basic commands, power, input, volume, mute. I would use the serial strings alone, but sharp does not offer the incremental volume commands, only a set numerical volume command. My RMC's have never gone offline nor have I lost video, but my commands get wacky sometimes. At times, i may loose commands going to either one of the TV's. They seem to lock up. In debugger, I can see the command strings going to them, along with all the polling from the module. When it freezes I either have to wait for it to "catch up" or do a reboot. Sometimes a RSPW1 command will snap it back in shape, but thats only when I'm there troubleshooting. I did notice a ton of chatter from the DMPS in debugger. I wish there was a way to turn off some of the processes I'm not using. Did you find a solution to your system?

Hi Fabio,
I don't know the model # off the top of my head & I'm on the road without it this week but I do know it's rather pricy (I want to say $10k-or-more-ish) so we only have one in the office; it's not quite "just throw it in your bag" material but it is very handy when you're commissioning a DM system or having "weird problems"

Hi Lincoln,
do you happen to know what model is the Fluke meter that Crestron recommends? Sounds like a must have tool in the bag...
I am suspecting that I might have some wiring and/or termination issues.
Thanks,
Fabio

Check the IP table when the control doesn't seem to work -- specifically if the IP ID is "offline".
If the IPID is offline but you're passing video recheck and recertify (not just continuity test--use the Fluke meter that Crestron recommends) the DM cable. I've seen some "questionable" DM cables that pass video and DMNet (so you can use RCON .... commands) but not (good enough) Ethernet for the control side of the box to come online with the program.
Earlier this month I had a project where the box was dropping offline more frequently than I could count (literally)...the installers jiggled the DM cable and problem solved. (They did reterminate the suspect end, of course)

I am here on site with a DMPS-300 and I have a feeling that the RS232 on the DM-RMC-100-C's are flaky... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I can't put my finger in it yet, but it appears so...
I am controlling two Sharp TV's... very basic commands via SIO symbol (POWR0 \x0D , RSPW1 \x0D, POWR1 \x0D , etc...)
Anybody with similar experiences?
