Wiring Diagram

The FG LCD can interface with up to 6 Sedona devices at any point in time. But in the future,

that number will be increased. Do take note that the Sedona devices must have the

easyioFGLcd kit installed inside its Sedona platform in order to it to communicate with the

LCD display. The cable that is suitable to use to connect from FGLCD to the Sedona devices

is the CAT5 cable (straight) with the RJ45 connectors while for the power, normal power

cable will be used.

Basic Functionality

The function of the LCD display is based on a client-server basis. The LCD display will act

as a client and the Sedona device will be the server. The LCD display will send requests to

the Sedona device to collect its data every interval. This interval time can be changed

depending on the firmware of the LCD display. So to begin, the Sedona device must have

the easyioFGLcd kit installed inside. This kit contains all the objects that the Sedona device

needs to interface with the LCD display.

The picture above is an example of the implementation of the LCD display which connects to

a Sedona device that is the EasyIO 30P. The 30P comes with the easyioFGLcd kit installed

inside.

For more information of the Sedona Platform side on how to install the easyioFGLcd kit and

set up the page, the line and what information to display, please refer to easyioFGLCD

Implementation document.

LCD Functionality

1. Home Screen

Upon powering up, the FG LCD will

beep once.

Then, the home screen as shown in the

above picture will appear on the LCD

to delete a number, press clear to clear all

the numbers, press enter to confirm

password or press cancel to go back to

the home screen.

Press enter to confirm the password which

the user has entered.

If the password is correct, the user will be

returned to the home screen. Now the Pad

Lock sign will show that it is unlock as

shown in the picture above.

3. Settings

Pressing the Settings button will bring the

user to the screen as shown in the picture

below.

There are 7 buttons that can be pressed.

There are Ethernet, Controller IPs,

Home Controller, Change Pin, System

and About buttons.

i. Ethernet

The above picture shows the Change IP

Settings screen the user will see upon

pressing Ethernet button. Here is the

place where user can set the IP Address,

Subnet and Gateway for this LCD display.

Press Save after configuring the IP

settings. Pressing the Home button will

straightaway bring user to Home Screen.

ii. Controller IPs

The above picture shows the screen for

the controller’s setup upon pressing the

Controller IPs button. The screen shows

6 buttons for 6 controllers which is the

maximum number of controller this LCD

display can interface with. Press any of

the controller’s (Controller 1-6) button will

bring the user to the screen as shown by

the below picture.

In here, the user can key in the IP address

of the controller which the LCD display

interfaces with. Press Save after keying in

the IP address.

iii. Home Controller

The user can put two lines of information

from one of the controllers in the home

screen. So, that specific controller is called

the home controller. The above picture

shows the screen the user will be in after

pressing the Home Controller button.

This is the place where the user can edit

the home controller’s IP address. Press


10

Save after keying in the IP address.

iv. Change Pin

The above picture shows the screen the

user will be in upon pressing Change Pin

button. This is where the user changes the

pin/password to unlock this LCD display.

Type the new pin/password into the New

Pin and Confirm Pin segment. Press

to complete calibration.

If the user pressed the Reboot button, the

LCD display will reboot / reset.

vi. About

When the user presses the About button,

the above screen will be shown. This

screen shows various information about

this LCD display.

4. Controllers

The above picture shows the screen the

user will see upon pressing Controllers


11

button on the home screen. This is the

place where the user can select a specific

controller and the information from the

specific controller will be displayed as

shown in the picture below (Controller 1

selected).

The maximum amount of pages the user

can put is 99. The maximum amount of

line the user can put on a page is 6.

5. Editing Controller’s Information

The user can configure and edit the values

of the controllers from the LCD display

(For more information on how to set up the

page, the line and what information to

display on the Sedona Platform, please

refer to easyioFGLCD Implementation

document). If the specific line from the

controller’s access right was configured

Writable, the user can press that specific

line to highlight it as shown in the picture

below.

Pressing the highlighted line again will

bring the user to the screen where the

user can configure the values. If the user

pressed a line which the data type is float

or integer, a cursor bar will appear as

2. Check whether the power connection to the LCD is correct. Please refer to the wiring diagram.

3. Open up the casing and check whether

the LCD display is connected to the PCD board.

b. Unable to unlock the LCD screen. 1. Make sure the password is correct.

2. The default password is ‘1234’.

c. Unable to receive any data/information from Sedona devices.

1. Check whether the IP addresses of the controllers are correct through the LCD display.

2. Check whether the settings on the Sedona devices are correct.

3. Check whether the connection of the

Ethernet is correct.

Mount the FG LCD onto the wall

with the M4 screw and nut

provided. There are 4 screw
