Stellaris® Intelligent Display Module (IDM) with Ethernet

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. Alternatively, the module can be powered with a standard 24V AC power supply. The MDL-IDM module 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.
