General Features

The Single Switch Solution is a compact device that can both monitor and control an industrial process independently or in conjunction with other controllers.

The 36x24 pixel LCD display can display graphics or characters while the backlight color options allow for status color schemes and modes of operation. In addition to the on-board flash, there are two look-up fonts (5x7 and 7x10) on board to create images based on characters. Up to 3 lines of 6 characters in font 5x7 or up to 2 lines of 4 characters in font 7x10 can be displayed.

14 micro-controller pins are available for use. Pins can be configured to be analog inputs or digital inputs/outputs:

• Analog inputs can be used to check the status of gauges such as temperature, pressure, voltage, amperage, oil level, gas level, etc.
• Digital inputs can be used to check the ON/OFF statuses of devices or count the frequency of an event.
• Digital outputs can be used as signals to turn a device on or off based on preset values.
• Digital signals can be used for communication with other devices.
• Digital outputs can be configured as PWM outputs.

The SmartDisplay push button presses can be used for toggling between statuses or menus and holding the push button can be used for selecting options.

SPI, I2C, and UART communications are possible.

The Single Switch solution is useful in many applications where complex information needs to be displayed while minimizing design and installation time and complexity. Contact engineering@nkkswitches.com for application consultation.

Applications

The Single Switch Solution is a controller/indicator device for use in an application with little to no technical or engineering know-how needed to install, operate, and configure.

The device can be configured with the web user interface. The user can upload images and configure what images, text, and actions they want to see. The device would then be programmed and loaded with the images, actions, and responses ready to be used. The customer would then simply need to install the device into their application. Please contact NKK Switches for any support with your application. If the current product does not meet your application, we can add features that meet your requirements.

Application Examples:

A Single Switch Solution is hooked up to a device that drops jellybeans into a bag and a counting sensor. When the Single Switch Solution counts out a fixed number of beans it sends signals to stop the jellybeans from dropping, move the bag out of the way, seal the bag and get the next bag.

A Single Switch Solution is used to monitor two voltages and two currents. Pressing the switch steps through displaying the status of each of the four measurements. When the voltages or currents exceed a preset warning range the display blinks to warn the operator. When the voltages or currents reach a danger range not only does the display turn red it also sends signals to shut down the system. The warning and shut down values for each measurement are user defined and can be modified by pressing and holding the switch while displaying the measurement.

A Single Switch Solution is hooked up to engine sensors to display fuel, water, oil, and temperature. Pressing the switch cycles through and displays the four statuses. When any of the statuses are outside normal the display blinks amber to warn the operator. When any of the statuses are in danger range the display blinks red.

Schematics

Connecting to Application

All the I/O pins are directly connected to the microcontroller pin. There is no safety circuit due to lack of space. If the application signals are not stable appropriate safety measures should be implemented in the application or interface board.

• Analog Resolution: 12 bits
• Analog pin input voltage: 0 to 3.3V
• DC characteristics:
  • High-level input voltage: 2.475V to 3.6V
  • Low-level input voltage: -0.3V to 0.825V
  • High-level output voltage: 2.64V to 3.3V
  • Low-level output voltage: 0V to 0.33V
  • High-level source current: 20mA
  • Low-level sink current: 28mA
  • Pull-up and pull-down resistance: 45kΩ

Some applications require an interface board for converting the analog input to proper voltage or turning on relays that require more current. NKK can design interface boards for new applications.

Creator Program API Reference

How to Create a Program

Demo Program Example

The following are example blocks using the Program Creator that replicate the behavior of the default demo program on the IS-S0110DEM evaluation kit.

Inputs

• The following shows the configuration for the input pins. AN1-AN4 are the potentiometers of the IS-S0110DEM, and DIG1-DIG5 are the G12AP toggle switches.

Switch Press

• Flag1 increments when the switch is released, which is used to toggle the various menus. When flag1 equals 9, it becomes 1. This is used to cycle between 8 different menus.
• Flag6 is used to determine if the switch release toggles the main menus or the backlight brightness at the backlight brightness adjustment menu. This is why it is a condition along with the switch release. When flag6 is 0, the switch release increments flag1.
• Since no output pin is driven with this behavior, the output pin is left as -1. When no output pin is set, the type, channel, and frequency fields have no effect. Most blocks in this example will leave the pin as -1.

Setup / Splash Screen

• All flags are 0 on startup. We use condition 0 for flag1 as a startup function to setup initial values such as other flags, timer durations, images, and colors.
• On startup, timer1 is started for a duration of 3 seconds. The NKK_Logo image is displayed until timer1 expires, then flag1 is incremented to 1 to display another menu. This is to achieve a splash screen.

Menu 1 - Battery Charge

• This menu displays when flag1 is 1.
• Analog input pin 34 (AN1) is shown on row 3 of the display as a percentage.
• Other conditions are set to change the backlight color based on the reading of AN1.

Menu 2 - 12-bit Stepper

• This menu displays when flag1 is 2.
• Analog input pin 39 (AN2) is shown on row 3 of the display as a 12-bit value and on row 1 as a bar graph.

Menu 3 - Voltmeter

• This menu displays when flag1 is 3.
• Analog input pin 38 (AN3) is shown on row 3 of the display as a voltage.

Menu 4 - Rotary Stepper

• This menu displays when flag1 is 4.
• Analog input pin 37 (AN4) is shown on row 3 of the display as a fraction.
• The step resolution is set to either 4, 10, 16, 32, or 50 based on if flag3 is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Pin 14 (DIG1) decrements flag3 and pin 15 (DIG2) increments flag3.

Menu 5 - Timer

• This menu displays when flag1 is 5.
• The value of timer2 in seconds is shown on row 3 of the display.
• Timer2 can be operated using DIG1-DIG4 to start, stop, pause, and resume.
• DIG5 is used to toggle flag7 which is used to jump to a menu that adjusts the duration of timer2. When flag7 is 1, DIG1-DIG4 is used to adjust the duration of timer2 as well as flag8. Flag8 corresponds to the value of timer2 in seconds so it can be displayed on row 3 in this menu.

Menu 6 - Counter

• This menu displays when flag1 is 6.
• The value of flag2 is shown on row 2 of the display as a counter.
• The value of flag2 can be adjusted with DIG1-DIG5.

Menu 7 - Stopwatch

• This menu displays when flag1 is 7.
• The value of the stopwatch is shown on row 3 of the display.
• The stopwatch can be operated with DIG1-DIG4.

Menu 8 - Demo Version

• This menu displays when flag1 is 8.
• Text is displayed to show the demo version.
• On this menu, when the switch is held, flag1 is set to 10 to jump to the backlight brightness adjustment menu, and timer3 starts with a duration of 4 seconds. This is the timer to handle switch press inactivity to cycle to the next menu.

Backlight Brightness Adjustment

• This menu displays when flag1 is 10.
• Switch release increments flag4.
• Flag6 is set to 1, so that the switch release does not increment flag1.
• Flag4 is used to change the brightness.
• If the switch is pressed, timer3 restarts. When timer3 expires after 4 seconds of inactivity, flag1 becomes 11 to jump to the LCD contrast adjustment menu.

LCD Contrast Adjustment

• This menu displays when flag1 is 11.
• Switch release increments flag5.
• Flag5 is used to change the contrast.
• If the switch is pressed, timer3 restarts. When timer3 expires after 4 seconds of inactivity, flag1 becomes 8 to jump to the demo version menu.

LED1

• Pin 33 is set as a digital output for LED1. When the type is digital, the channel and frequency fields have no effect.
• The LEDs are operated on menu 2 (12-bit stepper) and menu 4 (rotary stepper).
• When flag1 is 2 (menu 2) LED1 is on when analog input pin 39 (AN2) is above a threshold value.
• When flag1 is 4 (menu 4) LED1 is on when flag3 is 0 to indicate the step resolution.

LED2

• Pin 32 is set as a digital output for LED2.
• The LEDs are operated on menu 2 (12-bit stepper) and menu 4 (rotary stepper).
• When flag1 is 2 (menu 2) LED2 is on when analog input pin 39 (AN2) is above a threshold value.

LED4

• Pin 25 is set as a digital output for LED4.
• The LEDs are operated on menu 2 (12-bit stepper) and menu 4 (rotary stepper).
• When flag1 is 2 (menu 2) LED4 is on when analog input pin 39 (AN2) is above a threshold value.
• When flag1 is 4 (menu 4) LED4 is on when flag3 is 3 to indicate the step resolution.

LED5

• Pin 12 is set as a digital output for LED5.
• The LEDs are operated on menu 2 (12-bit stepper) and menu 4 (rotary stepper).
• When flag1 is 2 (menu 2) LED5 is on when analog input pin 39 (AN2) is above a threshold value.
