Page 6: Getting Started
With the ability to communicate via serial RS-232/TTL and I protocols, the versitle GLC24064 can be used with virtually any controller. The ease of use is further en- hanced by an intuitive command structure to allow display settings such as backlighting, contrast and baud rate to be software controlled. -

6. MOGD# requires the .NET framework 2.0 and will download and install it automatically After the installation is complete there will be a Matrix Orbital entry under “Start->Programs->Matrix Or- bital” in the start menu. Click on the ’Mogd Sharp’ entry to run the program. -
Page 10: Hardware Information
2.1 DB-9 Connector The GLC24064 provides a DB-9 Connector to readily interface with serial devices which use the EIA232 standard signal levels of ±12V to ±12V. It is also possible to communicate at TTL levels of 0 to +5V by setting the Protocol Select Jumpers to TTL. -
Page 11: Power Through Db-9 Jumper
AND through the Power/Data Connector at the same time. 2.2 Power/Data Connector The Power/Data Connector provides a standard connector for powering the display module. The GLC24064 requires five volts for the standard display module, between nine to fifteen for the wide voltage (V) and be- tween nine to thirty-five volts for the wide voltage with efficient power supply module (VPT). -

232 jumpers. In order to place the display module in I C mode you must first remove the zero ohm resistors from the 232 jumpers and then solder the resistors on to the I2C jumpers. Matrix Orbital GLC24064 Downloaded from Elcodis.com... -
Page 13: General Purpose Output
2.4 General Purpose Output A unique feature of the GLC24064 is the ability to control relays and other external devices using a General Purpose Output (3), which can provide up to 20 mA of current and +5Vdc from the positive side of the GPO. -

2.6 File System Lock Jumper The File System Lock Jumper allows you to lock the file system on the GLC24064 so that no fonts or bitmaps can be either written or deleted from the on board memory. This feature is useful in order to protect data integrity of production units, if protection of other settings is required see Chapter 12 Data Security. -
Page 15: Troubleshooting
• The last step will be to check the Power / Data Connector on the GLC24064. If the Power / Data Connector has become loose, or you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact Matrix Orbital see 15.6 on page 57 for contact information. -
Page 16: The Display Module Is Communicating, However Text Cannot Be Displayed
• First, ensure that you can communicate to the display. A good test is to use a PC, with MOGD# installed, to connect to the display. See Section 1.4 on page 3 for setting up a PC to test the GLC24064. -
