EA KIT320-8
GENERAL
The EA KIT320 is a fully assembled control and operating unit with a variety of integrated functions.
The display has very compact dimensions and offers excellent super-twist contrast, which means the
unit can be put into operation immediately. It is controlled via the standard RS-232 or RS-422
interface. In addition to complete graphics routines for display output, the operating unit also contains
a wide variety of fonts.
Graphics commands similar to high-level language are used for programming. There is no longer any
need for the time-consuming programming of character sets and graphics routines. The ease of use
offered by macros and input via touch panel make it a real power display.
HARDWARE
The operating unit is designed to work with an operating voltage of +5V. A supply voltage of 9..35V
is also possible. Serial asynchronous data transfer is carried out in RS-232 or RS-422 format. The
transmission format is set permanently to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Rates between
2,400 baud and 115,200 baud can be selected by means of DIP switches. RTS and CTS handshake
lines are available.
Data format:
TOUCH PANEL
The EA KIT320-8CTP and -8LWTP versions are equipped with an integrated touch panel. You can
make entries and menu or bar graph settings by touching the display. The labeling of the „keys“ is
flexible and can also be changed during runtime (different languages, icons). The drawing of the
individual „keys“ and the labeling is handled by the integrated software.
SOFTWARE
The operating unit is programmed by means of commands, such as Draw a rectangle from (0,0) to
(64,15). No additional software or drivers are required. Strings can be placed with pixel accuracy.
Flashing attributes can be assigned as often as you like – for graphics as well. Text and graphics can
be combined at any time. Up to 16 different character sets can be used. Each one can be zoomed
from 2 to 8 times. With the largest character set, the words and numbers displayed will fill the screen.
ACCESSORIES
Floppy disk for macro creation
A floppy disk (EA DISK320) is required for macro programming *). This converts the commands
entered in a text file into a code that can be read by the operating unit, and programs them into the
FLASH PROM.
Cable for PC
To enable simple connection to PCs (specifically for macro programming), we provide an optional
1.5m cable and a 9-pin SUB-D female connector (EA KV24-9B). Simply insert it into COM 1 or COM 2
and get started. Note: The cable is not suitable for the RS-422 version EA OPT-RS4224.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE
In the standard model, the supply
voltage of +5V is fed in via the
screw-type terminal J1. In the case
of the version for 9V to 35V
(EA OPT-9/35V), the power is
supplied via J2.
Important: It is imperative that the
polarity is correct. Even very brief
polarity reversal can damage the
entire operating unit immediately
and irreparably.

BAUD RATES
Baudrates
The baud rate can be set by means of the three DIP switches on the left. When
the equipment is delivered, the setting is 9,600 baud (DIP 3 ON). Please note
that the internal data buffer is only 128 bytes. The RTS handshake line must
therefore be queried (+10V level: data can be accepted; -10V level: display is
busy). The data format is set permanently to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

at the inputs. Automatic port querying can be
deactivated by means of the „ESC Y A 0“ command.
Port macros: Up to 256 port macros can be addressed by means of the binary
combination of 8 inputs.
Bit macros each only affect one input. Bit macro 1..8 is called at one of inputs
1...8 in the event of a change to HIGH level. Bit macros 9..16 are called in the
event of a change to LOW level.
At each change of the input port, the bit macros are executed first, followed by
the port macro. If there is no macro defined, the new port status is sent via
RS232/RS422. Each of the macros can change the contents of the screen or
switch outputs. This allows a wide range of control tasks to be carried out. To
create the macros, you need a PC and the floppy disk EA DISK320.
Note: The logic circuitry is designed for slow operations; in other words, more
than 3 changes per second cannot be easily executed. If an input is open, this
is evaluated as high (internal 100 kOhm pullup).

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS VIA OPTOCOUPLERS (EA OPT-OPTO16)
The inputs and outputs can be equipped optionally with optocouplers
(EA OPT-OPTO16). The inputs and outputs are then isolated from the rest of
the electronic components as well as each other. The connection is made via
16 different screw-type terminals.
Voltages of 5..35V can be applied directly at all
8 inputs. Voltages of over 4V are identified as high (H)
level; voltages of under 2V are identified as low (L)
level. Voltages between 2 and 4V are undefined.
The collector and emitter of a transistor are each
implemented as outputs on the screw-on terminals.
Each output can switch a maximum of 10mA.
Note: The negative pole of each screw-on terminal
can be interconnected by closing solder straps
LBI1..8 or LBO1..8. In addition, these solder straps
can be connected to system GND (solder 0Ω bridge RGND).
Note: The optocouplers invert the input logic (all inputs open: port macro n°255). It is advisable here
(in the power-on macro, for example) to use the „ESC Y I 1“ command to evaluate the inputs inversely
(i.e. all inputs open: port macro n°0).

EA KIT320-8
EXTERNAL MATRIX KEYBOARD
A matrix keyboard (anything from individual keys to an 8x8 matrix keyboard) can be connected at the
plug-in connection J120. The number of inputs and outputs of the ports (n1,n2=1..8) used is defined
and the key debouncing is specified (n3=0..7 in 50ms increments) by means of the ‘ESC Y M n1 n2
n3’ command. Please note when an external keyboard is connected that the digital inputs are reduced
by the number n1 and the outputs are reduced by the number n2.
Each key is generally switched between an output and an input. Each input has a 100kΩ (approx.)
pullup. In order to identify double keystrokes, the outputs must be decoupled from each other. This
is best done with Schottky diodes (e.g. BAT 43).
Transmitting the keystrokes
At each keystroke (key number 1..64), the associated matrix macro is executed or, if no macro is
defined, the key number is transmitted with code letters. The release of the key is not transmitted. If
the release of the key is to be transmitted as well, this can be done by defining matrix macro no. 0.
Note If the CTS handshake line does not permit transmission, up to 8 keystrokes are stored in the
key buffer. When the buffer is full, older keystrokes may be lost.
Determining the key number:
Key no. = (output no. - 1) * no. of inputs + no. of outputs
(output = MOx, input = MIx).
Example: Connection of 4 keys in 3 variations
- Variant 1:
The 4 keys are defined as a 2x2 matrix by means of the ‘ESC Y M 2 2 ..’ command.
The keys are connected to 2 inputs (MI1, MI2) and 2 outputs (MO1, MO2). The
outputs are decoupled from each other by means of diodes so that double
keystrokes can be identified. There are 6 inputs and 6 outputs available as port
connections.
- Variant 2:
The 4 keys are defined as a 1x4 matrix by means of the ‘ESC Y M 1 4 ..’ command.
The keys are connected to 4 outputs (MO1, MO2) and read in via input MI1. There
are 7 inputs and 4 outputs available as port connections.
- Variant 3:
If only one output is used (4x1 matrix), the keys can also be connected to ground
and read in directly at the inputs (= 4x0 matrix). The 4 keys are defined at the 4
inputs (MI1..MI4) by means of the ‘ESC Y M 4 0 ..’ command. There are 4 inputs
and 8 outputs available as port connections.
Type 1: 2x2 Matrix
Type 2: 1x4 Matrix
Type 3: 4x0 Matrix

CONNECTION FOR DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY
You can connect a single external dot-matrix module (with
HD44780 or compatible) with 1x8 up to 4x20 or 2x40
characters at eyelets J6 and J7. This dot-matrix display
can be addressed very conveniently by means of ‘ESC T
xx’ terminal commands. Alternatively, ‘ESC L xx’
commands are available for controlling the HD44780
directly. A potentiometer for contrast adjustment is already
fitted. A suitable series resistor RLED can be fitted for LED
backlighting.

Single or multiple command sequences can be grouped
together in macros and stored in the data flash. You can
then start them by using the Run macro commands. There
are different types of macro:
Normal macros (0..255)
These are started by means of an ‘ESC MN xx’ command via the serial interface or from another
macro. A series of macros occurring one after the other can be called cyclically (movie, hourglass,
multi-page help text). These automatic macros continue to be processed until a command is received
via RS-232 or another macro is activated (e.g. touch, port or matrix macro).
Touch macro (1..255)
Started when you touch/release a touch field (only in versions with a touch panel - TP) or issue an
‘ESC MT xx’ command.
Menu macro (1..255)
Started when you choose a menu item or issue an ‘ESC MM xx’ command.
Bit macro (1..8) or (9..16)
Started when a voltage is applied/changed at individual inputs IN 1..8 (bitwise) or by means of an
‘ESC MB xx’ command. Bit macros 1..8 respond to a rising edge, whereas bit macros 9..16 respond
to a falling edge of inputs 1..8.
Port macro (0..255)
Started when a voltage is applied/changed at the 8 inputs IN 1..8 (binary combined) or by means of
an ‘ESC MP xx’ command.
Matrix macro (0..64)
Matrix macro 1..64: Started when you press a key or issue an ‘ESC MX xx’ command.
Matrix macro 0: Started on release when a key is no longer depressed or by means of a command.
The matrix keyboard is connected at the inputs and outputs; a single 8x8 matrix keyboard can be
connected at most.
Power-on macro
Started after power-on. You can switch off the cursor and define an opening screen, for example.
Reset macro
Started after an external reset or after a voltage drop under 4.7V (VDD-VSS).
Watchdog macro
Started after a fault/error (e.g. failure).
Important: If a continuous loop is programmed in the power-on, reset or watchdog macro, the
display can no longer be addressed. In this case, the only thing you can do is: DIP switch 5
to ON, power-off, power-on and then DIP 5 to OFF. The macros then have to be read in again.

EA KIT320-8
256 IMAGES STORED IN THE INTERNAL DATA FLASH
To reduce the transmission times of the serial interface or to save storage space in the processor
system, up to 256 images can be stored in the internal data flash. They can be called using the „ESC
U I“ command or from within a macro. All images in the Windows BMP format (monochrome images
only) can be used. They can be created and edited using widely available software such as Windows
Paint or Photoshop (only black and white = 1 bit).
CREATING INDIVIDUAL MACROS
To create your own macros, you need the following:
- The EA DISK320*) floppy disk, which contains a compiler, examples and fonts
- A PC with a COM1 or COM2 serial interface and approximately 500KB of hard disk space
- A text editor such as WordPad or Textpad
To define a sequence of commands as a macro, all the commands are written to a file on the PC (e.g.
DEMO.KMC). You specify which character sets are to be integrated and which command sequences
are to be in which macros.
Once the macros are defined, you start the program C:>KITCOMP DEMO.KMC. This creates a data
flash file called DEMO.DF, which is then automatically stored in the data flash with the baud rate
entered. This only takes a few seconds, and you can then use your user-defined macros immediately.
You will find a detailed description of how to program macros, together with examples, in the files
DOKU.DOC (for WORD) and DOKU.TXT (DOS) on the EA DISK320*) floppy disk.
WRITE PROTECTION FOR MACRO PROGRAMMING
PCB Rev.C and newer: by setting DIP switch 6 (write enable) to OFF, you can prevent the programmed
macros, images and fonts from being overwritten inadvertently. After successful programming, this DIP
switch 6 should be set to OFF.
(Caution: On older PCB boards Rev.A and Rev.B (before 2002) DIP switch 6 had reverse meaning:
ON=write protect; OFF=programming possible)

INTEGRATED AND EXTERNAL FONTS
There are 6 monospaced character sets integrated as standard that can be used in terminal and
graphics mode. Each character set can be increased in height from 1 to 8 times in graphics output.
Independently of this, the width can also be increased two to eight times.
Each character can be positioned with pixel accuracy. Text and graphics can be combined as
required. Several different font sizes can also be displayed together.
Each text can be output left justified, right justified or centered. Rotation in 90° steps is also possible
(for vertical installation of the display, for example).
Macro programming permits a further 10 fonts to be integrated. Proportional character sets are also
possible (in graphics mode only); these look better and take up less space on the screen. All
conceivable fonts up to 255x240 pixels in size can be created using a text editor and programmed
in using the kit compiler.
e.g. external Font 10: GENEVA15.FXT proportional
e.g. external Font 7: CHICAGO.FXT proportional
TIP: FONT EFFECTS
FONT EXAMPLES
With large fonts, you can use the command 'ESC ZM' mode
(link, pattern) to produce interesting effects through
overlaying (writing and offsetting a word several times).
This hardcopy shows 6 internal and 8
external fonts.

TOUCH PANEL ADJUSTMENT
The EA KIT320-8xxTP has an analog, resistive touch panel. This touch panel is perfectly adjusted
and immediately ready for operation on delivery. As a result of aging and wear, it may become
necessary to readjust the touch panel.
Adjustment procedure:
1. Touch the touch panel at power-on and keep it depressed. After the message „touch adjustment?“
appears, release the touch panel. Alternative to that issue the ‘ESC @’ command.
2. Touch the touch panel (again) within a second for at least one second.
3. Follow the instructions for adjustment (press 2 the points upper left and lower right).

EA KIT320-8
TERMINAL MODE
When you switch the unit on, the cursor flashes in the first line, indicating that the display is ready for
operation. All the incoming characters are displayed in ASCII format on the terminal (exception:
CR,LF,FF,ESC,’#’). Line breaks are automatic or can be executed by means of the ‘LF’ character.
If the last line is full, the contents of the terminal scroll upward. The ‘FF’ character (page feed) deletes
the contents of the terminal display and positions cursor in the upper-left corner.
The terminal has its own layer for display and is thus completely independent of the graphical output;
moreover, the size of the terminal window can be freely defined. If the graphics screen is deleted with
‘ESC DL’, for example, that does not affect the contents of the terminal window (the terminal level is
deleted with ‘FF’).
The character ‘#’ is used as an escape character (see below) and thus cannot be displayed directly
on the terminal. If the character ‘#’ is to be output on the terminal, it must be transmitted twice: ‘##’.
COMMAND TRANSFER/PARAMETERS
The operating unit unit can be programmed by means of various integrated commands. Each
command begins with ESCAPE followed by one or two command letters and then parameters.
There are two ways to transmit commands:
1. ASCII mode
- The ESC character corresponds to the character ‘#’ (hex: $23, dec: 35).
- The command letters come directly after the ‘#’ character.
- The parameters are transmitted as plain text (several ASCII characters) followed by a separating
character (such as a comma ‘,’).
- Strings (text) are written directly without quotation marks and concluded with CR (hex: $0D) or LF
(hex: $0A).
2. Binary mode
- The escape character corresponds to the character ESC (hex: $1B, dec: 27).
- The command letters are transmitted directly.
- The coordinates xx and yy are transmitted as 16-bit binary values (fiirst the LOW byte and then
the HIGH byte).
- All the other parameters are transmitted as 8-bit binary values (1 byte).
- Strings (text) are concluded with CR (hex: $0D) or LF (hex: $0A) or NUL (hex: $00).
No separating characters, such as spaces or commas, may be used in binary mode. The commands
require no final byte, such as a carriage return (apart from the string $00).

FRAMES AND KEY FORMS
A frame type can be set by using the Draw frame or Draw frame box command or by drawing touch
keys. There are 16 internal frame
types available; in addition, some
frame types can be integrated by
means of the kit compiler.
PATTERN
A pattern type can be set as a parameter with some commands. In this way, rectangular areas, bar
graphs and even text can be filled with
different patterns. There are 16
internal fill patterns available; in
addition, some fill patterns can be
integrated by means of the kit
compiler.
