1 Introduction

•20 column by 4 line text display

•Built in font with provision for up to 8 user deﬁned characters

•Speeds from 1200 bps to a lighting fast 19.2 Kbps over RS-232

•Communication over RS-232 or I2C

•Software controlled contrast

•Backlight with conﬁgurable time out setting up to 180 minutes

•One general purpose output for a variety of applications

•Horizontal or Vertical bar graphs

•Variable power options, +5V or +8V to +15V

•Extended temperature option

•Fits Matrix Orbital’s Dual PC Bay insert without any modiﬁcations

1.1 What to Expect From the LCD2041

The LCD2041 is designed as the display unit for an associated controller. The controller may be anything

from a single board, special purpose micro-controller to a PC, depending on the application. This controller

is responsible for what is displayed on the screen of the display.

The display provides a simple command structure to allow text and bar graphs to be displayed on the

screen. Text fonts are built in, and use standard ASCII mapping. Provision is made for up to 8 user deﬁned

characters.

The screen is backlit for low light situations. Backlighting may be turned on or off under program

control. Contrast is adjustable to compensate for differing lighting conditions and viewing angles.

A general purpose output allows the controller to switch an electronic or electro-mechanical device by

issuing commands to the display unit. This can be used for controlling LEDs, relays, etc.

1.2 What Not to Expect From the LCD2041

The display does not include bitmap graphics capability, except that permitted by deﬁning special char-

acters. The display does not include a keypad interface.

1.3 Setup for Testing

Before setting up the application the user may want to try out the display. This is easily done with a PC.

If not equipped with a dual bay PC mounting kit, the following will be required;

•A 4-pin power connector of the type used to connect 3.5” ﬂoppy drive. Take care not to connect the

display to an unmodiﬁed spare power connector in a PC

•A spare RS-232 port. (Either COM1 or COM2)

•A 5V power supply. For wide voltage models, an 8 - 15 V supply will be required

•A 9 or 25 pin RS-232 serial cable. If using a 25 conductor cable, a 9 to 25 pin adapter will be required

Matrix Orbital LCD2041 1

Figure 1: Connections for Testing

1. Refer to the Figure above for the following steps.

2. Wire the connector to the power supply. On most connectors the RED lead will go to +5V and the

BLACK lead to GND.

NOTE The Manufacturer’s Warranty becomes void if the unit is subjected to over-voltage

or reversed polarity.

3. Connect the display to the PC using the serial cable and adapter if required. Make sure the RS-232

cable includes the required ground lead. There must be no voltage differential between the RS-232

ground and the power supply ground.

4. Connect the power connector, making sure that the +5V goes to V+ . Turn on the power; the display

backlight should come on and a blinking cursor at the top left should appear.

1.4 Trying out the LCD2041

The unit should be connected to power and the PC and backlight should be on. To experiment with

typing text, run a PC program such as Display Tuner or AlphaDemo. Make sure it’s conﬁgured to use the

correct port. Set the baud rate to 19,200.

To exercise some of the other features of the display, a program (in any convenient language such as

Basic or C) will need to be written in order to issue the required command strings. Most terminal programs

are unable to issue the 0xFE character needed as a command preﬁx.

2 Connections

2.1 Connector Pinout

Refer to the Figure below for this chapter.

Matrix Orbital LCD2041 2

Figure 2: Electrical Connections

The display has three connectors;

Table 1: Connectors & Functions

Connector Function

2 pin General purpose output

4 pin Power and I2C communication

DB-9F RS-232/power

2.1.1 Power Connection

Power is applied via pins 1 and 4. Power requirement for standard units is +5 VDC ±0.25V . Units with

the wide voltage range option require 8 - 15 VDC.

WARNINGS

•Do not apply any power with reversed polarization. Do not apply

any voltage other than the speciﬁed voltage. Do not use any cables

other than the cables supplied by Matrix Orbital, unless aware of

the modiﬁcations required. Do not apply voltage to the DB-9 con-

nector AND power connector Do not apply more than +5Vdc to

pin #9 on the DB-9 connector.

Pin 3 SDA (I2C data) / Rx

Pin 2 SCL (I2C clock) / Tx

Pin 1 Vdc

2.1.2 Five Volt Modules

If the display is used in a PC it is tempting to plug a spare power connector into the unit. Don’t do this!

Wiring for the PC power connector and that required for the display are different.

Figure 4: Wiring for 5V Modules

Matrix Orbital is equipped to supply an adapter cable designed to use with the LCD2041 when it’s

installed in a PC. The cable is wired as shown in the Figure below.

NOTE This cable does not provide connections for I2C.

Matrix Orbital LCD2041 4

Figure 5: Five Volt Power Cable

2.1.3 Wide Voltage Range Modules

NOTE Do not use this cable unless the display module has the "Wide voltage range"

option. Use of the 12 volt power cable with 5 volt modules will damage the module.

The 12 volt power cable is designed for use with wide voltage range display modules mounted in a PC.

Wiring required for the 12 volt power connector is shown in the Figure below.

Figure 6: Wiring for 12 Volt Modules

Matrix Orbital is equipped to supply an adapter cable designed to use with the display module when it’s

installed in a PC. The cable is wired as shown in the Figure below.

Figure 7: Twelve Volt Power Cable

Matrix Orbital LCD2041 5

2.1.4 Applying Power through the DB-9 Connector

Power may be provided to the module by pin 9 of the DB-9 connector instead of through the 4-pin SIP.

If power is to be applied using the DB-9, it must be a regulated 5Vdc supply.

NOTE This applies to wide voltage units, V and VPT extensions, as well as to standard

5 volt units.

Figure 8: DB-9 Power

To use pin 9 as the power source, the user must solder the 5 volt jumper pad beside the DB-9 connector.

WARNING Application of a voltage to pin 9 greater than 5.25 volts

may cause immediate destruction of unit and void the Manufacturer’s

Warranty.

2.2 RS-232 Communications

The RS-232 connector on the PC cable is wired so that a standard ’straight through’ 9 pin D-sub cable

may be used to connect the module to a standard serial port such as COM ports on PCs. Please note that this

device complies with the EIA-232 standard in that it uses signal levels from ±12V to ±12V and can be

converted to TTL levels as well. The display is set at 19.2Kbps default speed. Other settings are;

•8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

2.2.1 DB9 Connections

A standard DB-9F is provided for RS-232 communications. Power may also be supplied via this con-

nector if desired.

2.2.2 Alternate Serial Connection

An optional alternate connection header is provided to allow one cable for data and power. Two jumpers

will have to be set into the RS-232 position above the DB-9 connector.
