LUMINARY MICRO MDL-IDM User Manual

Stellaris® Ethernet-Enabled
Intelligent Display Module

The compact Luminary Micro Stellaris® Intelligent
Display Module (MDL-IDM) offers a complete
graphical touch-screen user interface solution for
control, automation, and instrumentation applications.
Featuring Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), the Stellaris®
IDM offers a simple method to produce intelligent
terminals that can be simultaneously powered and
network-connected by a single CAT5 Ethernet cable.
The MDL-IDM also features additional serial
connectivity options for easy implementation as a
Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch display panel in
an embedded control device. The MDL-IDM is the first
display module available with efficient performance
and robust integration of an ARM® Cortex™-M3
microcontroller, positioning the MDL-IDM into building
access controllers and security systems, intelligent
white goods and home appliances, thin clients, and
factory automation applications.
