two types of SDL receptacles are used in the HP-HIL system: "A" and "E" keying configurations. To identify the keying of a receptacle, two methods are used. First, the receptacles usually will have an "A" or "E" visible on the outside back or on the inside back (difficult to see when present). Second, the "A" keyed receptacles are now molded in white plastic, while the "E" keyed receptacles are black.
The HP part numbers for the SOL receptacles are as follows:
"A" Keying, White, Female SDL: AMP PIN 1-520192-1
"E" Keying, Black, Female SDL: AMP PIN 5-520791-1
The pinouts and connections of HP-HIL cables are shown in Figure 2-4. As with the receptacles, the plugs are molded in colors to denote keying. Clear plugs are "All keyed, and correspond to white receptacles. Smoke colored plugs are "E" keyed and correspond to black receptacles.

The command bit distinguishes a command from data. The address field indicates the destination device in a frame sent by the main processor, or the source device in a frame sent by a device. A universal address (000) is used to send a single command to all devices. The a-bit data field contains the opcode for a command, or a bits of data.
HP-HIL communication is a simple asynchronous serial protocol between the main processor and the input device. Information travels asynchronously in the Link in a fixed format called a "frame." Each frame cons ists of 15 bits of information including start, stop, command, parity, address, and data bits. Information packets are transmitted around the Link at the rate of 10 microseconds per bit, or 150 microseconds per frame. The idle state of the Link is a logic "1", with the first bit in a frame (the start bit) at logic "0" and the last bit (the stop bit) at logic "1." The parity bit is computed so that the total number of logic "1" bits in the 15-bit frame (including start, address, command, data, parity, and stop) is odd.
The SLC can receive a new frame every 153 microseconds and transmit a frame every 154 microseconds. This implies a minimum required idle period of 3 microseconds between receiving frames and a minimum of 4 microseconds between sending frames.
p.4-2
In general, commands are always initiated by the System, although certain commands (described later) may be initiated by a device under the proper conditions. Unless otherwise noted, all commands will by definition be returned to the System (assuming a properly configured Link), preceded by any data reported by the addressed devices. Only one command should be pending on the Link at anyone time; hence the System should always wait for either the command to return or a sufficient period of time so as to indicate that no response is forthcoming before the next transmission. HP-HIL devices are allowed up to 500 microseconds per frame to transmit their response after receiving a command.

This command provides a full reset to attached devices, destroying the Link configuration along with any pending device data. Device Hard Reset is used to return devices to their condition at power-up.
Timeouts: 200 ms (devices must perform self-test).
Auto Configure is used to assign unique addresses to each device configured onto the Link, up to the maximum of seven devices.
Timeouts: 10 ms (multiple devices may respond).
Command:
| addr | cmd | data |
|---|---|---|
| 000 | 1 | 08h + 1(first addr) |
Response:
| addr | cmd | data |
|---|---|---|
| 000 | 0 | 08h + <incremented addr[0-7]> |
In 'Incremented addr': 1 means there is no device, 0 means there are seven devices.
CAE(FDh) is received when there are too many devices on the Link?
The primary function of the command is to clear Power-Up Mode in devices and to verify the Link integrity. Configuration information is not affected by IFC. Upon rece1v1ng the command, each device will clear Power-Up Mode, and retransmit the command as received.
Timeouts: 10 ms (Multiple devices may respond).
Identify and Describe is used by the System to determine the type of the attached devices, as well as some general characteristics of these devices required to understand the data they report.
Timeouts: 10 ms (device may respond with data).

This allows system to sequentially open up the Link to additional device until the last device on the Link is determined. When the EPT command is not returned, a timeout occurs transferring control to the ELB (Enter Loop-Back Mode) oval.
Once in Pass-Thru Mode, the device retransmits the command to next device downstream on the Link. No response(timeout) cocurs if the last device is already in Pass-Thru mode.
Timeouts: 5ms(Only one deivce will respond).
This is used to "close the end" of the Link, returning the last device on the Link to Loop-Back Mode so that frames may be returned to the System. At the end of the configuration process, the last device should be in Loop-Back Mode, while all others are in Pass-Thru Mode.
In Loop-Back Mode, the device retransmits the command back to the System.
Timeouts: 5ms(Only one deivce will respond).
The Poll command is the fundamental means for extracting information from the input devices attached to the Link.
Timeouts: 16 ms (multiple devices may respond).

During careless investigation I broke original HP encoder(QEDS-8831) on the keyboard with wrong power connection. And replaced it with COPAL optical encoder RESW20D50, the new encoder requires decoupling capacitor(22uF), without it the keyboard doesn't read signal correctly.

Microcontroller which has external 1K Ohm pull-up resistor didn't work with HP 98203C.
HP HIL device has 1K Ohm registers on signal lines in series and can't drive the line through the resistor if Converter has strong pull-up resistor. ATmega32u4's internal pull-up works.
TechRef refers to 1 megohm pull-up resistor for SI. (I-21)
The SI input does not have an internal pullup. This means that unless an HP-HIL device is connected to MLC, the line will float and probably cause an error. This can be avoided by connecting a very large (probably 1 megohm) resistor pullup to SI.
External power supply with 7.5V-12V is preferable anyway.
With bypassing 5V linear regulator it will work with decent USB power 5V. HP 98203C requires really good 5V power supply particularly when start up, it doesn't work even with 4.9V.
Connecting and disconnecting HP-HIL devices while some language/ operating systems or application programs are running may lead to unpredictable results. When possible, connect all needed HP -HIL devices to your com pu ter before booting a language/operating system or running an application program.
HP-HIL devices can be added to or removed from the HP-HIL interface without affecting the HP-UX operating system. However, if your application requires the use of a particular device and you remove the device from the link, open the link to the device, or open the link to add a new device, your application might not recognize the change and may not work as expected.
A mode in the SLC which causes the device to transmit all frames back toward the previous device and System.
A mode in the SLC which causes the device to transmit all frames to the next device on the Link, if there is one. If no additional device is connected, the transmitted informtion is lost.
A condition in an HP-HIL device during which all HP-HIL commands except for Interface Clear, Device Hard Reset, and Device Soft Reset are ignored. This mode is cleared upon reception of the Interface Clear command, and set when an error is detected or the device is reset.
An HP standard IC developed by Hewlett-Packard that interfaces the System to the BP-HIL input devices. The MLC accepts commands from the System processor and transmits and receives information via HP-HIL. It also polls the input devices, collects data entered by the user, and relays it to the System.
An HP standard IC developed by Hewlett-Packard that provides the communication interface between MLC, the HP-HIL communications master, and the microprocessor which controls the input device's hardware.
The address given to devices during the configuration process. The match address corre~ponds to the order of devices connected on the Link. The device connected directly to the Host will have a match address of 1. The next device connected to the device with address 1 will have match address 2, etc. The maximum match address is 7. Address 0 is a universal address .
This is an address of 0 (zero) which causes all devices on the Link to respond.
Meaning toward the System. A reference made to indicate direction from an input device on the Link. Moving toward the System from a given device is moving "upstream.
