Programmable LCD Keys

All LCD switches from [E³] are fully programmable, RGB-backlit LCD push-button keyswitches

  • • Command-driven synchronous serial 8-bit interface
  • • Controlled by a two-wire SPI
  • • All switches self-initialize
  • • No permanent clock required
  • • Data transmission speeds of up to 2 MBaud

  • • Only six contact terminals for power, ground, clock, data
      and switch contacts
  • • Graphic LCD with up to 64 x 32 pixel resolution
  • • RGB backlighting in over 1 million colors
  • • Low power consumption
      (<25mA typ.; <60 mA max.)


SA3624

The SA3624 with a resolution of 36 by 24 pixels features the SA command set plus a special Legacy Mode™ which allows for backwards compatibility in legacy systems originally designed for the LC24.2 Trend switches from Screenkeys.

SB6432

The SB6432 features a resolution of 64 by 32 pixels and over 1 million RGB background colors. In addition to the standard SA command set the SB version supports commands for key grouping and LCD refresh, bias and contrast adjustments as well as display on/off while maintaining image in buffer.

SC6432


The SC6432 combines all product features of the SB6432 switches with updated electronics and internal construction adding better viewing angle and contrast, improved power range and current consumption.
All new SC switches are 100% backwards compatible to our SA and SB switches.

SD6432


The new SD switches introduce Multi Segment Color MSC™ to our RBG-backlit LCD switches with all new electronics, better viewing angle and contrast, improved power range and current consumption.
The SD switches are compatible to our SA and SB switches while adding MSC™ capabilities.

SE6432


The SE switches combine all the features of the SD switches with an inverse DFSTN LCD for optimal contrast.
Like the SC and SD switches the SE switches are also compatible to our SA and SB series.

Development System & LCD Key Controller

The DevBoard utilizes the CC0064 controller which is the control module used in all CP series control panels. This allows for rapid prototyping and testing with immediate software portability from prototype phase to series production.



DevBoard


Development system with 2 switches, power options via battery pack, direct power input or over USB cable, and RS232 and USB interfaces on board. The CC0064 controller and 2 switch key matrix can also be mated for an instant 2-button control panel design.

CC0064 Controller


The CC0064 controller features RS232 and USB interfaces. Serial-to-Ethernet interface optional. On-board library storage for 255 bitmap images. The CC0064 is the standard controller for all CP series designs up to 64 Sxnnnn switches.

Control Panels

[E³] offers its customers control panels designed around our LCD key technology based on our CC0064 controller or customer specified controls, interfaces and protocols. Our control panels are serial devices making them compatible with various operating systems. Ethernet versions of our panels are available upon request.



Desktop Control Panels


The desktop control panel series feature 12, 24 or 60 LCD keys in a desktop housing with RS232 and USB interfaces. They support all CC0064 commands and are ideal for desktop application implementation without costly hardware development.

Rack-Mount Control Panels


[E³] offers 19-inch rack-mount control panels based on the CC0064 controller supported commands. Available with 12 or 17 LCD keys per row in 1HU, 2HU and 3HU front panels with fully enclosed electronics or open board designs. In addition to the standard RS232 and USB interfaces, rack-mount panels are also available with Ethernet interface.

Custom Control Panels


Custom designs and customer-specific control panels enable user defined packaging around our CC0064 controller or custom controllers. We provide custom solutions such as the integration of additional control devices like joysticks, encoders, sliders, t-bars, etc. and other peripheral items such as displays based on customer specifications.

Accessories

Accessory items offer greater design flexibility to our customers and enhance our LCD key technology products both for the Sxnnnn switches as well as control panel series.


Socket Pins


Socket Pins allow for the solderless installation of Sxnnnn switches on printed circuit boards of 1.6 mm and 2.0mm thickness. Socket pins also allow for cleaning of PCBs after soldering and before installtion of the Sxnnnn switches.

Socket Locks


Socket Locks secure the Sxnnnn switches in the Socket Pins when front panel removal of the switches is not desired. Once secured with Socket Locks the switches can only be removed by first removing the Socket Locks.

Switch Guards


In military and other mission critical applications it may be desirable to protect the switches from accidental operation through the installation of a Switch Guard. Switch Guards are available in stay-open and stay-closed designs. Minimum order quantities apply.

Click here for SG0000 datasheet.


Switch Frames


Panel Frames allow you to mount the Sxnnnn switches directly into a front panel and connect to the CC0064 controller via ribbon cable for maximum design flexibility.
