Our Serial 128 x 64 Graphic LCD RS-232 Display Terminal is designed to provide a cost effective RS-232
operator interface. A high contrast, extended temperature range 128 x
64 pixel LED backlight transflective LCD provides excellent viewing in direct
light, as well as indoors. It has a 12:00 to 6:00pm viewing angle, which
means it can be viewed from straight on to about 80 degress downward. The
backlight automatically turns on when characters are received or inputs are
activated, and shuts off after a programmable amount of no use. You can use your
choice of matrix or non-matrix keypads, allowing 7 to 12 inputs. An on
board tone generator & amplifier can be used to provide user
feedback. Built in, expandable EEPROM's allow storing of graphics pages for quick menu redraws and graphics animation.

Industry Exclusive RED Negative 15 times the contrast!
SOH ETX Protocol uses simple ASCII commands to: display text in five different
fonts, clear all or portions of the display, draw lines, boxes, circles, display
bitmap files, generate tones, and more. An optional display address
can be set, using the built in non-volatile configuration utility, to allow multiple
displays to be on the same serial port, each displaying different
information.
ANSI / VT100 Subset
Protocol supports ESC control sequences: display text
in fixed pitch font, clear all or portions of the display, cursor positioning,
scrolling when last line of display is reached, line wrap support, CR - CR/LF
support, generate tone, ESC function key support for keypad closures, and
more.
Membrane Switch Available!

The 128 x 64 Serial Graphic LCD Terminal provides you with a low
cost user interface solution for that great product/project you have developed. The LED backlighted display is a high contrast transflective LCD, which allows great indoor and outdoor viewing both night and day. The printed circuit board is
shaped to fit into any type of an enclosure,
a double width electrical box, or an off the shelf PAC-TEC
"TT" hand-held enclosure. This allows you to make your own custom terminal,
operator interface, and or machine interface. Long 2-56 flat head screws and standoffs are included
for mounting.
Home, business, and industrial automation designers & developers
can use the serial 128x64 Graphic LCD Terminal for an interface to
the automation control system. Most automation platforms allows formating
and sending serial data as well as receiving. Using this built in
communications capability, you can add an operator interface. Also, since it's serial, you can add
the serial 128 x 64 Graphic LCD Terminal in a remote location.
Best of all, it is easy to use! You can have a great looking user interface in no time at all. Simple ASCII
serial commands sent to the 128 x 64 Graphic LCD Display Terminal, display text in multiple
fonts/styles/justification, graphics, and generate tones via the onboard
250mW speaker driver. ASCII serial commands from the 128 x 64 Graphic LCD Display
Terminal debounce switch closures from either a scaned row & column keypad,
or individual contacts.
Configuration is easy. By simply holding down two keys at power up or reset, the display
terminal enters a configuration utility menu. From this menu, you can
change the baud rate, display address, back light timeout, power up logo & settings
display, and more. After changes are made, they are save in non-volatile EEPROM.
Membrane Switch Option
An optional 3M adhesive backed membrane switch overlay is
available for
easy mounting. • Seven Keys • Tactile feedback
on all keys • Attached .1” female connector • Rim embossed keys for finger placement
• Splashproof, sealed switches • 4" in width, by 3" in
height, with a Low profile height of .059 inches.
The serial 128 x 64 Graphic LCD Terminal to the
right, is shown mounted on a dual gang outlet box cover. A machined dual
gang outlet cover is available when ordering. This method of mounting, provides you with a low cost professional user interface solution. A mechanical drawing is in the manual for mounting the display terminal in this fashion.

Baud rate defaults to 9,600, and can be changed by holding
down two inputs on power up or reset, and entering the configuration menu.

Keypad
|
For inputs, theres two choices:
1) An seven button debounce(non-matrix) keyboard
input. Using four of the inputs, this setup
allows for the bottom line of the display to act as soft menus.
2) A three column by four row matrix
keyboard input. This setup allows for a matrix of 12 keys to be used, and can
also use the bottom line of the display to act as soft menus.
By default, the input type is debounce, but can be changed by holding down two inputs on
power up or reset, and entering the configuration menu

Audio
|
For audio, there's a two pin connector for connecting a 8-32 ohm
speaker for tone generation. A 250mW audio amplifier is
provided.
|
|
Power
|
Power for the
terminal comes in on two of the unused DB-9 RS-232 connector. 10 - 15VDC
is required.
Current draw is 32mA when LED backlight is off, 190mA when
on.
