EA KIT160-7
GENERAL
The EA KIT160-7 graphics kit 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 graphics kit also contains a
wide variety of fonts. Graphics command similar to those used in high-level programming languages are
used for programming. There is thus 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.
DISPLAY OPTIONS
CFL-Backlight
LED-Backlight
EA KIT160-7CTP: blue background with white characters. Extreme bright and
contrastful. Life time of backlight 10,000~20,000 hours. Backlight unit is available as a
spare part: EA CFL160-7. Power consumption: typ. 300mA@5V
EA KIT160-7LWTP: blue background with white characters. Great contrast, power
consumption: typ. 250mA@5V
HARDWARE
The graphics kit is designed for 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 bits, and no parity. A transimssion rate of between 1200 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 KIT160-7CTP and -7LWTP versions are equipped with an integrated touch panel. You can make
entries and choose menu 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 or grouping of several fields is handled by the integrated software.
SOFTWARE
The graphic kits are 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 withpixel accuracy. Text
and graphics can be combined at any time. Up to 16 different character sets can be used. Thus, when
the 8-times zoom is used with the largest character set (16x8), the words and numbers fill the screen
(128x64).
ACCESSORIES
Front panel for mounting
A front panel made of anodized aluminum is available as an accessory. This allows the graphics kit to
be mounted without any screws visible. Installing it is child's play. The EA 0FP160-7 front panel is
available in black (SW) and blue (BL).
Floppy disk for creating macros
A floppy disk (EA DISK240) is required for macro programming *). This converts the commands entered
in a text file into a code that can be read by the graphics kit, and programs them into the EEPROM.
Cable for PC
To enable simple connection to PCs (macro programming), we provide a 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).

EXTERNAL KEYBOARD
Matrix - Keypad Connector J8
A keyboard (anything from individual keys to a 8x7 matrix
keyboard, J8) can be connected at the plug-in connection.
The connected keys are debounced by means of software.
Please note that it is only possible to connect an external
keyboard to versions without an integrated touch panel.
Each key is switched between an output and an input. Each
input has a 100kΩ pullup. Up to 6 keys can be connected at
each output.
To find out double-key-strokes all outputs must be
decoupled by a Schottky-Diode (e.g. BAT 43).

Transmitting the keystrokes
At each keystroke, the associated key number (1..56) is
transmitted or an internal Touch Makro (only if defined) will
be started. The release of the key is not transmitted. If the
release of the key is to be transmitted as well, this can be Application example 4x4 matrix
done by defining touch macro no. 0. The automatic
keyboard scan can be deactivated by means of the command "ESC T A 0". If the handshake line (e.g.
CTS) does not permit transmission, keystrokes can be lost.
The key number can be determined as follows:
Key number = (output -1) * 8 +input
(output: a number between 1 and 7; input: a number between 1 and 8).
TOUCH PANEL (EA KIT160-7XXTP ONLY)
Versions EA KIT160-7CTP and -7LWTP are supplied with an integrated touch panel with 56 fields. The
graphics kit offers convenient commands supporting this touch panel. It is possible, for example, to group
a number of touch fields to form a single large key and then draw and label the key. You can also assign
a record code (1..255) to the key you have defined. If a return code of 0 is assigned, the key is disabled
and has no effect when it is pressed.
When the touch keys are touched, they can be automatically inverted and a
tone can sound, indicating they have been touched. At the same time, the
defined return code of the key is transmitted via the serial interface, or an
internal touch macro with the number of the return code is started.
Example:
Definition of a key from field 11 to 21 with the return code 65=´A´ and the text
"STOP". Note: Before individual keys are defined, all fields should be
disabled by means of "ESC T R".

BAUD RATES
Baud rates
The baud rate can be set by means of the 3 DIP switches on the left. 9,600 baud
is set at the factory (DIP 3 ON). Please note that the internal data buffer only holds
24 bytes. It is therefore imperative that the RTS handshake line be queried (a level
of +10V means data can be accepted; a level of -10V means the display is busy).
The data format is fixed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

The graphics kit is shipped with an RS-232 interface as standard. The pin assignment of the plug
connector (J3) is as shown in the table on the left. The J3 has a 2.54mm grid. If the graphics kit is ordered
together with the EA OPT-RS4224 optional component, RS-422 drivers are fitted. In this case, the pin
assignment is as shown in the table on the right.
The same serial data with 5V levels and TTL logic is available at the J5 eyelet strip. These levels are
suitable for direct connection to a µC. However, if these signals are used, solder link LB5 and LB6 must
be cut or opened.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE / EA OPT-9/35V
In the standard model, the supply voltage of +5V
is fed in via screw-type terminal J1. In the case of
the version for 9..35V (EA OPT-9/35V), the
power is supplied via J2.
Important: It is imperative that the polarity is
correct. Polarity reversal, even for a very short
time, can cause the immediate destruction of
the entire display.

GND
0V, Ground
All EA KIT160-7 series provide 8 digital In- and 8 outputs (5V
CMOS level, grounded).
8 outputs
Each line can be controlled individually using the "ESC Y W"
command. A maximum current of 10mA can be switched per
line. For more power use an external transistor or MOSFET.
8 inputs
A voltage of >4V starts an internal port macro. However, the
inputs can also be queried and evaluated directly via the
serial interface ("ESC Y R"). When the 8 lines are
combined, up to 256 port macros can thus be addressed.
Each of these port macros can change the contents of the
screen or switch an output, thus enabling a wide range of
control functions. To create the port macros you need a PC
and the EA DISK240 floppy disk. You will find a more
detailed description on page 6. The automatic port query can be disabled by
means of the "ESC Y A 0" command.
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 left open, it is logical
high (internaly pulled-up via 100 kOhm).

IN- AND OUTPUTSVIA OPTOCOUPLER (EA OPT-OPTO16)
Optionally all In- and Outputs are isolated via
optocouppler circuit (EA OPT-OPTO16 only). The
connection is made via 16 different screw-type terminals.
Direct voltages of 5..35V can be applied at all 8 inputs.
Voltages of over 4V are recognized as high level, while
voltages of under 2V are low level. Voltages of between
2 and 4V are undefined. The polarity is insignificant.
Output is a "open-collector" circuit with collector (+) and
emitter (-) of a NPN transistor. A maximum current of
10mA can be switched per line.
Note: The negative pole of each screw-type terminal can be interconnected by closing the solder straps
LBI1..8 and LBO1..8. These solder straps can also be connected to system ground GND (solder 0Ω strap
RGND).
Note: Logic will be inverted by optocouppler circuit (all inputs left

MACRO PROGRAMMING
Single or multiple command sequences can be grouped together in macros and stored in the EEPROM.
You can then start them by using theExecute macrocommands. There are 3 different types of macros:
Touch macros (1..255)
These are started when you touch a touch field (in versions with a touch panel - TP) or when you operate
an external key/matrix keyboard. Touch macro no. 0 is different: It is started when you release a key.
Port macros (0..255)
These are started when voltage is applied to IN 1..8.
Normal macros (1..255)
These are started by means of a 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).
Power-on macro
Normal macro no. 0 is different: It is executed automatically after power-on. It allows you to switch off the
cursor and define an opening screen, for example.
Note: Programming a endless loop in Power-On-Macro makes the display non-accessible. In that case
switch DIP 5 to ON position, power off, and then power on again and DIP 5 back to off position. Now all
fonts and macro must be downloaded again.
STORING 256 IMAGES IN THE EEPROM
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 EEPROM. They can be called using the "ESC U E"
command via the serial interface or from within a touch/port/normal macro. All the images can be used
in the Windows BMP format. They can be created and edit using widely available software such as
Windows Paint or Photoshop.
CREATING INDIVIDUAL MACROS
To create your own macros, you need the following:
- The EA DISK240*) floppy disk, which contains a compiler, examples and fonts
- A PC with a COM1 or COM2 serial interface and approximately 500KB hard disk space
- A text editor such as WordPad or Norton Editor
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 ;Makro Demo
; KIT festlegen
C:>KITCOMP DEMO.KMC. This creates an KIT160-7
COM2: 115200
; KIT ist an COM2 angeschlossen,

In addition, you can define up to 21 characters
of your own, depending on the font. These
characters are preserved until the supply
voltage is switched off. (See the ESC E
command.)
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
Font 3: 6x8
justified or centered. 90° rotation (for vertical
installation of the display) is also possible.
Macro programming permits the inclusion of
up to 11 additional fonts and the complete
redesign of the individual characters. A font
editor on the EA DISKFONT6963 floppy disk
allows you to create and program in any font
you like with a size of up to 16x16 pixels.
Font 5: 8x16
TIP: FONT EFFECTS
With large fonts, you can use the command ESC L TEXT mode (link,
pattern) to produce interesting effects through overlaying (writing and
offsetting a word several times).
Original font 8x16 with ZOOM 3
at position 0,0 with black pattern
"Outline font" produced by
overlaying (EXOR) at pos. 1,1
Overlaying (EXOR) of the "outline font" at
pos. 2,2. results in an "outline font with fill"
Overlaying (OR) with 50% gray pattern of
the "outline font" at pos. 0,0. results in a
"font with pattern fill"

PARAMETERS
The graphics kit can be programmed by means of various integrated commands. Each command
begins with ESC followed by one or two command letters and then parameters. All the commands and
their parameters, such as coordinates and other transfer values, are always expected as bytes. No
separating characters, such spaces or commas, must be used between them. The commands require
no final byte such as a carriage return (except for the string $00).
A..Z, L/R/O/U .................................... All commands are transferred as ASCII characters.
Example: G= 71 (dec.) = $47 initiates the straight-line
command.
x1, x2, y1, y2 .................................... Coordinates are transferred with 1 byte.
Example: x1= 10 (dec.) = $0A
ESC .................................................. 1 byte: 27(dec.) = $1B
n1,n2,no,sv,ev,value,pat,ret,
frm,data ........................................... Numerical values are transferred with 1 byte.
Example: n1=15(dec.) = $0F

DESCRIPTIONS OFTHEVARIOUS GRAPHICS FUNCTIONS
On the following pages you will find detailed descriptions of all of the functions in alphabetical order. In
each case, an enlarged section of the image, 50x32 pixels in size, is shown as a hard copy example,
indicating the contents of the display after the command is executed. The bytes to be transferred are
shown as hex values in the examples.

Define bar graph
Up to 16 bar graphs (no=1..16) can be defined. These can extend to the left (L), right
(R), up (O) or down (U). At its full extent, the bar graph occupies an area from x1,y1 to
x2,y2. It is scaled with the start value (no extension) sv (=0..254) and the end value
(full extension) ev (=0..254). The bar graph is always drawn in inverse mode with the
pattern (pat): The background is thus always retained. (Note: When this command is
executed, it defines the bar graph but does not display it).
Example: $1B $42 $4F $01 $04 $02 $09 $1E $04 $14 $01
Bar graph no. 1, which extends upwards, is defined. When it is fully extended, it takes up an area from 4,2 to
9,30. The start and end values correspond to a 4..20 mA display. (The diagram shows the bar graph fully
extended, as represented with $42 $01 $14.)
ESC
B
no value
Draw bar graph
The bar graph with the number n1 (1..16) is set to the new value (sv <= value <= ev). If value > ev, the end value
(ev) is displayed. The bar graph must be defined first (see above).
Example: $1B $42 $01
$0A
Bar graph no. 1 defined in the above example is set to a value of 10.

A/E
Switch display on/off
Switches the contents of the display off (A - not visible) or on (E - visible). Outputs are still possible when it is
switched off.
Example: $1B $44 $41
The contents of the display are no longer visible after this command.
ESC
D
N/C
Display normal/clipboard contents
The normal contents (N) or the clipboard contents (C) appear on the display. Concealed drawing is possible with
this command. Example: The current contents of the display are saved to the clipboard with ESC C B, and the
contents of the clipboard are then displayed with ESC D C. All subsequent outputs to the display will be invisible
until the command ESC D N is entered, at which point the current contents will become visible again.
Example: $1B $44 $49
The display now shows the contents of the clipboard (only complete images are recognizable).
ESC

n1 data
Define character
You can define up to 21 characters yourself (depending on the font size). These characters then have
the ASCII codes 1 to max. 21 and remain in an invisible screen RAM 128 bytes in size until the
supply voltage is switched off. In the case of a 4x6 font, up to 21 characters can be defined, whereas
only 8 characters can be defined for an 8x16 font. Please note that if you want to define several
characters in different fonts, you must bear in mind that a character with code 1 of the 8x16 font, for
example, requires the same amount of RAM as the characters with the
BIT NR.

NUL
Define touch key
Defines a touch key and labels it with the current font. H=horizontal or V=vertical labeling (rotated 90°). Several
touch fields can be grouped together to form a single touch key (f1=upper left touch field; f2=lower right touch field
of the new touch key). This touch key is assigned a return code with ret (1..255). When the touch key is touched,
the touch macro with the number ret is called or, if no touch macro is defined, this return code is sent via the
RS232. You use frm to define the format of the touch key (frm=0: don't draw anything;
frm=1: delete touch key; frm=2: delete touch key and draw with frame). text...=string
with the label (which is always centered on the touch key). The label can also have
more than one line; in this case, the lines are separated by the character '|' (=$7C).
The string must be concluded with NUL= $00. See example on page 3.
Example 1: Horizontal touch key:
$1B $54 $48 $01 $01 $41 $02 $54 $45 $53 $54 $00
Defines a horizontal touch key (field no. 1 only) with the return code 65='A'. The touch
key is drawn with a frame and labeled with the word 'TEST'.
Example 2: Vertical touch key:
$1B $54 $56 $02 $02 $42 $02 $54 $45 $53 $54 $00
Defines a vertical touch key (touch field no. 2 only) with the return code 66='B'. The
touch key is drawn with a frame and labeled with the word 'TEST'.

P/R
Preset/reset touch fields
Assigns P (=ascending return code: 1..60) or R (=reset all touch fields) to all 60 touch fields. In the latter case all
touch fields receive the return code 0 (i.e. they are deactivated).
Example: $1B
$54 $52
All touch fields are deactivated by this command and no longer recognized.

n1
(Touch) key query on/off
This command sets the (touch) key query:
n1=0: Switches the key query off - no touch macros or manual key query possible.
n1=1: Activates the key query - keystrokes trigger touch macros or are sent via RS232.
n1=2: Activates the key query - keystrokes trigger touch macros; must be queried manually.
Example: $1B
$54 $41
$02
Activates the (touch) key query. The keystrokes are not sent automatically via RS232; they have to be requested
manually by means of the command ESC T W.

1 byte stands for 8 horizontal pixels on the screen; 0=white, 1=black;
MSB: left, LSB: right; the image is stored from the top down.
The BMP2BLH.EXE program on the EA DISK240 floppy disk available as
an accessory creates the image data, including the width and height,
from monochrome Windows bitmap graphics (*.BMP).

Set graphics mode
Sets the link mode n1 for the following graphics functions:
ESC P (Set point), ESC G (Draw straight line), ESC W
(Continue straight line), ESC R R (Draw rectangle), ESC
R N (Draw rounded rectangle), ESC R M (Fill area with
pattern).
Example: $1B
$56 $03
Sets the link mode to inverse.
By way of example, a rectangle is drawn alongside with the link modes set, delete and
inverse on an existing background.
Link mode n1:
1 = set: black pixels irrespective of the previous value (OR)
2 = delete: white pixels irrespective of the previous value
3 = inverse: changes black pixels to white pixels and vice versa (EXOR)
4 = replace: deletes the background and sets black pixels; only area with fill pattern 'pat'
5 = inverse replace: fills the background and sets white pixels; only area with fill pattern 'pat'

n1
Read input port
Reads in the input port (n1=1..8 = IN1..IN8). When n1=0, all the inputs are read in as 8-bit binary values
(MSB:IN8...In1:LSB); see application on page 5. Important: The optocouplers invert the input logic (input open: 1).
The command "ESC Y I 1" puts this right (input open: 0).
Example: $1B

Write output port
Changes the output port (n1=1..8 = OUT1..OUT8) to the value n2 (0=low level; 1=high level; 2=invert port). When
n1=0, all the outputs are output as a binary value n2 (MSB:OUT8...OUT1:LSB); see application on page 5.

Automatic port query on/off
Each change at the input port (8-bit binary value IN8..IN1) can call a port macro (0..255). This command activates
(n1=1) or deactivates (n1=0) the automatic port query. After power-on, the current port status is read and the
associated port macro executed immediately.
Example: $1B
$59 $41
$01
Activates the automatic port query and executes the associated port macro.

n1
Invert input port
This command allows the logic of the input port to be inverted (n1=0 for normal or n1=1 for inverse). This is useful
with the optocoupler inputs, for example.
