InShell UART Smart Displays: Robust IP65 Solutions for Industrial HMI Applications
InShell UART displays - The Best smart displays for industrial environments
When it comes to industrial and medical applications, durability and precision are paramount, which is why Crystal Display Systems (CDS) are introducing the InShell UART Smart Display range—a game-changer for OEM product designers. Engineered to thrive in challenging environments, these IP65-rated displays offer robust protection against dust, moisture, and contaminants while delivering exceptional performance. With sizes ranging from 4.3” to 15.0”, integrated touch technology, and seamless UART communication, they provide an ideal solution for creating innovative Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems. Discover how these advanced displays can simplify your development process while meeting the demands of harsh industrial settings.
What are InShell UART TFT Displays?
DWIN’s UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) TFT displays are a type of colour TFT LCD that communicate directly with a microcontroller or microprocessor through a UART interface. UART is one of the most common communication protocols, and it is widely supported by almost all microprocessors and microcontrollers The UART protocol allows these displays to be easily integrated into systems without requiring complex parallel interfaces, which are common with traditional TFT displays.
Why a Smart UART TFT Display?
For many existing applications, it is unnecessary to upgrade your microprocessor as most will have at least one UART port. A UART TFT display when connected via UART uses no major microprocessor resources.
How do these DWIN UART displays work?
UART Communication (TX, RX)
- TX: The transmit pin (from the perspective of the device sending data).
- RX: The receive pin (from the perspective of the device receiving data).
UART communication is asynchronous, meaning that no clock signal is needed. Data is sent as a series of bytes over the TX pin of the microcontroller to the RX pin of the display, and vice versa for receiving.
Why Crystal Display Systems & DWIN?
Crystal Display Systems and their partner DWIN Technology, a developer and manufacturer of Smart UART TFT display modules commit to building long term customer partnerships here in the UK and throughout the world by offering free development samples and direct technical support for both hardware and software by a dedicated team of engineers. With DWIN’s extensive choice of smart displays, powerful development tools plus local and factory support we believe we can reduce your development times and enable you to build a very cost-effective HMI solution with the right display and a powerful graphical user interface.
Why our Industrial UART Displays?
Our panel mount InShell UART display range presents OEM product designers ready-made solutions for a host of industrial HMI applications. The display’s shell has an IP65 fascia, designed to prevent the ingress of moisture, dust and dirt making them the ideal choice for products within industrial and medical markets where the front of the display may need to be cleaned of contaminants at the end of the working day. The range starts at a 4.3” 800×480 resolution size and goes all the way up to a 15.0” 1024×768 XGA size and encompasses all the key display sizes in-between. All models feature an integrated projected capacitive or resistive touch sensor, providing touch-based interaction as well as protection for the display.
UART communication displays for industrial markets
At the heart of these UART Displays is a dual-core processor based on the ever popular and stable intel 8051 architecture, plus DWIN’s own powerful development software, DGUS. The DGUS design tool allows system designers to build their graphical user interface including touch functionality, images, fonts and music files can also be simply imported from popular software programmes and used to create your dynamic GUI, vastly reducing the development time. Your GUI can be quickly and simply transferred to the UART Display’s FLASH memory via SD card or an RS232 comm port. Communication to your application’s microprocessor is via the display’s RS232 or RS485 integrated UART interfaces, connection to a PLC using ModBus protocol is also supported.
Robust display solutions for harsh environments
The InShell displays have a standard operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and incorporate as standard UV protection and conformal coatings as well as ESD, EFT, Radio Interference and surge protection. This high level of protection renders this range of displays indispensable in hostile settings, they truly offer cutting-edge solutions for diverse applications within medical, industrial automation, auto/aero/rail, and industrial process control markets.
DWIN’s Smart InShell UART Displays stand as a testament to technological ingenuity, providing a robust solution for demanding environments. Furthermore, as we navigate an era where technology meets adversity, DWIN’s Smart UART Displays prove to be indispensable, offering not just resilience, but a forward-thinking approach to HMI display solutions in the face of challenging environments. In conclusion, whether it’s outdoor applications or critical industrial processes, these displays redefine what’s possible, ensuring seamless performance in harsh conditions.
