There are many Logic Boards available. All the Logic Boards have two 7x2 connectors and can be daisy chained via 14 pin ribbon cables. JP2 of the IS-C1603 gets connected to J1 of the first Logic Board, J2 of the first Logic Board gets connected to J1 of the second Logic Board and so on. The red wire of the ribbon cable, indicating pin 1, must be connected to pin 1 for all connections. There are two types of Logic Boards, 2 bits and 4 bits. Only one type of board can be used at any one time. The J2 jumper is used to select which type of logic boards will be used with the IS-C1603. If the jumper is not selected properly or the two types of logic boards are mixed together the backlight and the switch scan will be wrong.

Operation Overview There are 255 image addresses in the memory (01H to FFH). Each image Address holds a Page of data. Each Page has an image data, LCD/LED code, control code, Attribute block, and user-defined look-up tables etc. These data are referred to as storage memory since normally these data are downloaded to memory one time. Each switch has an image address (01H to FFH) assigned to it. The assigned address Page data are used for the display and backlighting. Attributes and look-up tables of the Page are used when a switch is pressed or released. Any address (01H to FFH) can be assigned to any switch (1 to 16). Set up There are 3 flag bytes that determine how the controller functions (Section 6.10). The controller has many features that can be enabled or disabled based on these flags setting. Normally storage data for addresses are downloaded to the controller once. The Page data need to be downloaded only to the addresses that will be used by the application. The image data (picture) and LCD/LED code (backlight) are used in most application. The attributes and various look-up data need to be downloaded only if the feature is enabled via flag bytes. Power-up Upon power-up/reboot (as a default), address 01H is assigned to switch #1, address 02H is assigned to switch #2 and so on up to address 10H is assigned to switch #16. Each switch LCD displays the assigned address’s image data. The LCD continuously gets refreshed from the image data. The 16 switches’ backlights turn on according the LCD/ LED codes in the 16 byte refresh buffer. Each switch backlight continuously gets refreshed from its associated LCD/LED code from the refresh buffer. The LCD/LED codes are transferred to the refresh buffer from assigned addresses page data upon address assignment. After power-up or reset, the controller transmits 11H. This lets the host know that the controller is on line and ready for commands. The controller then waits for a switch activity or a command from host. Operation The controller can change the switches’ displays and backlighting based on the switch activities. These changes happen based on the Attribute Block. Each of the 255 addresses has an Attribute Block. The Attribute Block is a set of 16 addresses to be assigned to the 16 switches. Upon a switch closure the Attribute Block of the switch’s assigned address goes to effect. The controller has many options to report a switch activity to the host based on the switch or assigned address. The switch activities operation is described in section 4. The host can command the controller to change the switches’ display and backlighting. The changes can be with any of the following commands: --- Assign new addresses to switches. --- Download new LED codes to refresh buffer. --- Download character or graphic image to an address which is assigned to a switch.

Switch Presses/Releases: The controller takes the following actions upon a switch press/release. 1. Switch Release: A. If bit 0 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: enabled), transmit (Switch # + B0H) to host in HEX format. B. If bit 2 of FLAG-C is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host up to a maximum of 15 bytes HEX format from user-defined switch release look-up table associated with the switch number. C. If bit 0 of FLAG-C is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host the image address that is being displayed in ASCII HEX format. D. If bit 1 of FLAG-C is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host up to a maximum of 15 Bytes in HEX format from user-defined image release look-up table associated with the image address. E. If bit 5 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: enabled) and bit 2 of FLAG-B is enabled (default: disabled) then do the following using the data from current image address: E1. If the viewing angle/ brightness code is not zero, then increase or decrease the brightness accordingly. E2. Update the switches image addresses with the Addresses from the Attribute Block. If any of the Addresses in the attribute block is equal to zero do not change that switch image address. E3. If bit 0 of FLAG-B is enabled (default: enabled), update the LCD/LED codes for the switches according to data from updated switch image addresses. 2. Switch Closure (Press): A. If bit 1 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: enabled), transmit (Switch # + 80H) to host in HEX format. B. If bit 2 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host up to a maximum of 15 characters or until there is a null character in HEX format from user-defined switch press look-up table associated with the switch number. C. If bit 3 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host in ASCII HEX format the Pointer value of the image being displayed. D. If the bit 4 of FLAG-A is enabled (default: disabled), transmit to host up to a maximum of 15 characters or until there is a null character in HEX format from user-defined image press look-up table associated with the Pointer.

If any of the Addresses in the attribute block is equal to zero do not change that switch’s image address. E3. If bit 0 of FLAG-B is enabled (default: enabled), update the LCD/LED codes for the switches according to data from updated switch image addresses. Commands from host: There are many commands available for the host to control the switches in real-time or set up the controller for stand-alone operation. The commands are described in proceeding section. 5. Data formats This section describes the definitions and data block formats. 5.1 Key Terms & Definitions Byte An eight bit hex value ranging from 00H to FFH (Decimal 0 to 255). The bit format of a byte is: (B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0) where B7 is most significant and bit B0 is least significant bit. Nibble/Hex digit A four bit value ranging from 0H to FH. A byte consists of two nibbles. ASCII A byte value representing a symbol. Communication Format There are two formats to transmit a byte: 1. Hex format - A hex byte is transmitted without any change to it. [xxH] will be used to denote this. For example, the hex byte 5AH is transmitted as a single byte 5AH. All commands and some data are sent using this format. 2. ASCII HEX format - Each nibble of the byte is converted to ASCII code and sent as a byte. [xxAH] will be used to denote this. For example, the hex byte 5AH is transmitted in two bytes, 35H and 41H. The ASCII value for 5 is 35H and the ASCII value for A is 41H. All addresses and most data are sent using this format.

Communication Protocol The controller communicates with the host by serial communication via RS232 (8 bits, NP, 9600). The controller receives the data via an interrupt routine that places the data in the circular receive buffer. When the controller detects data in the circular receive buffer, it reads one byte and executes the following: A. If the byte is a command, the controller transmits a 61H and executes the subroutine for the command and upon completion of command the controller transmits 79H. All of the commands are explained in detail in proceeding sections. B. If the byte is not a command, it is ignored. When the controller executes a subroutine and expects additional information: A. A timer is set. If the expected data byte is not received in 50ms, the controller transmits 6EH and terminates the routine. B. If the byte value is not acceptable (invalid range, option, etc.), the controller transmits 6EH and terminates the routine. Commands are one byte in the range of 20H to 2FH and 01H and are transmitted in hex format. The proper format for all command options and data is specified for each command.

It is called base-10. Every digit can be between 0 to 9. The value of each digit is equal to the digit with ((Digit order) -1) zero in front. Value in base-10 Digit x Multiplication for converting to decimal Digit order Table 1, Base-10 10000 1000 100 10 1 100 10(N-1) … … 104 103 102 101 Nth digit …. …. Fifth digit Fourth digit Third digit Second First digit digit Example: The value of each digit of the Base-10 number 7605 is as follow: Fourth digit: Third digit: Second digit: First digit: 7 with (4-1) zero = 6 with (3-1) zero = 0 with (2-1) zero = 5 with (1-1) zero = 7000 600 0 5 Numbering system A numbering system can be based on any number (base-N). However it has to follow the rules: 1. Each digit has to be between 0 to (Base minus one). For example: ---Each digit for Base-2 numbering system can be 0 or 1 ---Each digit for Base-5 numbering system can be 0 to 4 ---Each digit for base-8 numbering system can be 0 to 7 2. The value of each digit is equal to the digit with ((Digit order) -1) zeros in front. All the operations that we use on base 10 numbering system such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division… works the same for all the numbering systems. The difference is the carry over will be based on the base-number of the numbering system instead of 10. Why do we need other base numbering systems? Computers logic is based on two states: Yes or No False or True High voltage or low voltage IS-C1603 Intelligent Controller User Manual D.doc Toll Free 1.877.2BUYNKK (877.228.9655) • Phone 480.991.0942 • Fax 480.998.1435 www.nkkswitches.com • Email engineering@nkkswitches.com Page 49 of 52 0110 IS-C1603 Intelligent Controller User Manual 7850 East Gelding Drive • Scottsdale, AZ 85260-3420 Base-2 numbering system (binary) The numbering system to accommodate the computer logic is called binary or base 2. Each digit of binary can be 0 or 1. Value in base-2 Digit x Multiplication for converting to decimal Digit order Table 2, Base-2 10000 1000 100 10 1 20 =1 2(N-1) … … 24 =16 23 =8 22 =4 21 =2 Nth digit …. …. Fifth digit Fourth digit Third digit Second First digit digit Example: The value of each digit of the Base-2 number 1010 is as follow: Fourth digit: Third digit: Second digit: First digit: 1 with (4-1) zero = 0 with (3-1) zero = 1 with (2-1) zero = 0 with (1-1) zero = 1000 0 10 0 To convert a base-2 number to decimal, multiply each digit by multiplier and add them together: Example: converting base-2 number 1010 to decimal is as follow: (1 x 8) + (0 x 4) + (1 x 2) + (0 x 1) = 10 To convert a decimal number to base-2 number ---divide the decimal number by 2, the remainder is the first digit of the base-2 number --- continue dividing quotient by 2 and put the remainder as the next digit until the quotient is equal 0. Example: Convert the decimal number 21 to base-2 21 divide by 2 = 10 with 1 remainder 10 divide by 2 = 5 with 0 remainder 5 divide by 2 = 2 with 1 remainder 2 divide by 2 = 1 with 0 remainder 1 divide by 2 = 0 with 1 remainder First digit = 1 Second digit = 0 Third digit = 1 Fourth digit = 0 Fifth digit = 1 21 decimal = 101001 base-2 or binary The base-2 number 101001 reads as one zero one zero zero one.

To make it easier to present computer data, hexadecimal or base-16 numbering system is used. Four digit of base-2 numbering system convert to one digit of base-16 numbering system. Since we did not have digits for 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, they were assigned letters A, B, C, D, E and F respectively.
