Smart displays - HMI solutions
You can not use a smartphone for your project, but need a smart display or touchscreen?
Today are well known cells, organizers equipped with esthetic and functional screen layouts.
The users are expecting an informative and attractive graphic display layout on their machine controls,
instead of just a simple text display.
The displays can work with a low cost micro controller or any PLC. All required fonts, static and animated graphics,
text templates and macros can be easily stored to the flash memory of the display controller.
Complex screen layouts can be controlled by sending a few bytes.
Please use our electronic hardware/software consulting service to find your individual solution.
Display Control
The comfortable command set enables to fully control nearly any available graphic display
with a size from 122x32 up to 1024x600 pixels. All graphics, fonts and text templates can be stored to
the display panel's flash memory via display setup software, prior to its use by the controlling hardware.
Communication Ports
The controllers are equipped with communication ports as follows, depending on hardware type:
- USB Port- Ethernet Port with 10/100 Mbit/s
- Serial Port for RS-232 (300 ... 115200 baud)
- Serial Port for RS-232, RS-422 or RS485 (300 ... 115200 baud)
- I2C Port (bit rate up to 400 kHz)
- SPI Port
The communication port can be changed in operation, the controller always sends its response to the
recently used port automatically. Setting up the chips can be done via one of the two serial ports or via the USB port.
I/O Ports
In addition to the display control, the controllers carry out all necessary I/O based tasks, thus allowing
for further simplification of the hardware design, depending on hardware type:
- Controlling of up to 16 outputs/LEDs (on/off/blink with user selectable blink frequency)
- Up to 4 ADC inputs for analog measurements or up to 4 digital inputs
- Controlling of 2 relays
- Alternative to the relays: PWM outputs (e.g. for speaker or buzzer)
- Adjustable watchdog for controlling your hardware
- ATX power supply control
- Touch screen control
- up to 512 Byte EEPROM emulation for user data
- MicroSD card control
- Real-time clock with battery backup
