Thank you for reading.

I wanna control LANC

It's have only one line.... LANC, VCC, GND

I wanna use PIC with CCS-C...

First 4 byte is Send MSG and 4 byte is receive MSG...

But How to connection from LANC to RX / TX

and How to coding

You will need to have a pull up resistor on the line, and use the 'FLOAT_HIGH' keyword, in #use RS232. LANC, is a Sony protocol, using 'control-L' signalling, which is a standard used on quite a few cameras, and is an open-collector drive, which this command emulates. Most cameras contain the required pull-up, but you should verify this, and I would suggest having a largish pull up present at your end of the connection, even if there is a pull up at the other end, since this will prevent the line from floating to an indeterminate state, if the camera is not present.

Best Wishes

This link tells you everything you need to know to connect and talk to a LANC device.

This link is also helpful:

The first link also gives some C code you can translate to CCS fairly easily but you are going to need to do some work yourself to make this happen.

I also recommend using the ELM interface chip mentioned in this article since it gives you a number of advantages with a very low cost:
