1 General

The large format, graphics compatible display can be used universally
for displaying production data, or as an information board.

Its modular design allows for cost-effective variants of various size, as
well as different character heights and numbers of digits.

Especially important information can be colour-highlighted with the
multicolour model (MC).

Functions

 Data transmission: Ethernet/IP interface
 Configuration with PC software
 Text (different font sizes and types) and graphics can both be

displayed.

 Standard font, flashing font, moving screen text, scrolling, inverse

display

 Monitor display, stored texts and graphics can be queried, variables

can be displayed and macros can be executed

 Variable size thanks to modular display design.

3.1 Tips and Tricks

 When putting on the power supply, the following sequence has to be

observed:

o Connect the power supply cable to the display.
o Connect the power supply cable to the power supply.

 When disconnecting the power supply, the following sequence has to be

observed:

o Disconnect the power supply cable from the power supply.
o Disconnect the power supply cable from the display.

 Be sure to use a valid colour when creating texts.

Example: Green lettering may not be used with a red, single colour
display (no display appears in this case).

 When selecting X and Y coordinates for the purpose of positioning,

the desired position must actually exist at the display (resolution in
pixels).

 Graphics, texts and variables to be displayed must be positioned

such that they fit properly into the display unit.

3.3 Display Elements

Alphanumeric display modules with 16 x 16, 64 x 8 or 64 x 16 dot
matrices are utilized.

Attention: As far as the software is concerned, there is no difference
between modules with 16 pixel lines and modules with 8 pixel lines. The
last 8 lines are simply not visible at a module with 8 pixel lines.

The following example depicts a module with 64 x 16 pixels including
three different character heights:

3.4 System and Device Initialisation

Internal memory and function tests are performed at the large format
display during power-up (duration: less than 1 second).

If the display is not illuminated (and if the integrated function LED blinks
slowly, i.e. 1 Hz), the device is in the boot mode. This indicates that the
software or the configuration data currently stored to the integrated flash
memory are incomplete. This may result from a previously interrupted
download operation. If this is the case, downloading must be repeated
(with the help of included PC software).

After power-up, the first macro is executed (if one exists). If the display
unit is to be cleared again immediately, a corresponding macro must
exist!

The display unit then waits for valid output data from the user (via the
interface).

3.5 Configuration of the Ethernet/IP Interface

The software “Anybus Configuration Manager” of the company HMS serves for the
configuration of the interface. You can find this tool at the web page of the
interface manufacturer www.anybus.com in the area SUPPORT -> Anybus
Communicator -> Ethernet Serial Gateway.

 Connect the display with a RS232 null modem cable (pins 2<->3, 3<->2,

5<->5) to a PC / Laptop.

 Start the software.
 Close the window “Konfiguration auswählen” with the button “Cancel”.
 Press button “Verbinden” and after that button “Upload”.

 Change only the marked fields according to your requirements
 Click button “Download” to transmit the configuration to the interface.
 Now the interface configuration is completed.

You can find the original configuration at our home page www.microsyst.de in the
area “Downloads & Support” -> “migra” -> “Ethernet IP” -> “Configuration File for
HMS Interface”.

3.6 Configuration of the migra with software “micon”

The enclosed software “micon 5” serves for the configuration of the display’s
variables and graphics.

 Connect a PC / Laptop via Ethernet with the display (1 : 1 cable if using a

switch/hub; crosslink cable at direct connection).

Installation
 Execute the enclosed file “setup.exe” in the path “MICON” of the enclosed

CD and follow the instructions.

Start
After the start, the dialog “Properties” appears.

The IP address of the display must be specified by the user.

Interface must be set to

“HMS-Interface (64kb
Flash)“.

3.7 General Frame Description

The frames to be transmitted to the display have the following structure:

Offset

Designation

Content

Description

0

TB

0 ... 255

Toggle byte (*0)

1

LB

Length byte = frame length

2

Migra frame

2…3

See chapter “Online Frame Layout”

*0: Toggle byte:

The toggle byte must be increased by 1, if the frame shall be processed
However the toggle byte must only be changed if the lock-byte = 0 (see chapter

“General Frame Description”). Otherwise there is a lock from the configuration

software MICON (because it controls the display at the moment).
The lock-byte is read from address 0x3FE of the display interface (with “explicit

messaging”).
The transmit-bytes are written as of the address 0x202 into the display

interface.

Response Frame:

The display writes the response frame as of the address 0x160.

3.8 Online Frame Layout

Each of the frames transmitted to the large format display unit consists
of 3 parts:

Header

Data Unit

Trail

Frames transmitted to the MIGRA are not evaluated by the device until 3
to 240 ms after the last frame byte has been received (depending upon
baud rate and HEX switch settings). The pause between the individual
frame bytes may not exceed this period of time! The pause between the
individual frames must exceed this period of time!

The next frame can be transmitted immediately after the response frame
has been received.

If no response frame is used, the MIGRA is not ready to receive a new
frame until the last received frame has been completely processed. For
example, if a large graphic is displayed, a longer waiting period is

required than would be the case for reading out an “online character”.
As a rule, a pause of „receiving timeout“ + 150 ms between frames is

sufficient.

1 -> send response

LEN-H: High nibble length: number of high nibble data bytes,

bits 4 through 7 must be set

(e.g. number of data bytes = 26H 

high nibble = 2  11110010B)
LEN-L: Low nibble length: number of low nibble data bytes,

bits 4 through 7 must be set

(e.g. number of data bytes = 26H 

low nibble = 6  11110110B)
LEN-H und LEN-L only need to be transmitted if a checksum is

used. If bit 1 in the FC byte is not set, LEN-H and LEN-L may not be
transmitted!

3.9 Displays with a Vertical Resolution > 64 Pixels

If a display has a vertical resolution of more than 64 pixels, two
controller boards are integrated. The first board controls the module
lines 1 to 4. The second board controls the remaining lines.

Example: Large format display with a resolution of 3x6 display modules

1

Controller board 1

2

3

4

Controller board 2

5

6

There are two possibilities to control the large format display:

1. The controller boards of the large format display are
accessed separately (with two different addresses). Bit 0 of
the Byte “FC” must be set (see chapter “Header”).

Example: Querying graphics
Transmit frame: 02 81 80 81 1B 47 2B 30 30 30 03
Wait for response: 02 80 81 80 30 03
Transmit frame: 02 82 80 81 1B 47 2B 30 30 30 03
Wait for response: 02 80 82 80 30 03

2. The large format display is accessed with one address. Bit 0

of the header byte “FC” must not be set (see chapter
“Header”). Then, all controller boards evaluate the frame,

not depending on the address. However, no response frame
is transmitted to the master. Therefore, there must be taken

a break after frame transmission (see chapter “Online
Frame Layout”).

Example: Querying graphics
Transmit frame: 02 81 80 80 1B 47 2B 30 30 30 03
Take a break: see chapter “Online Frame Layout”
