If you are using driver software that does not directly support the SmartSet™
serial protocol (E281-23xx, E271-22xx), the controller can be set up through
jumper J2 for hardware compatibility with the IntelliTouch E281A-4002
controller.

Serial Controller Installation
This section assumes you are integrating the E281-2310 serial controller board
into your system as a component.
The following information gives you mounting dimensions, touchscreen
connections, power connections and requirements, and data output connections. It
is your responsibility to determine how best to mount the controller and data
connector in the display or separate enclosure, and provide a power supply.
Mounting the Controller and Connecting Chassis Ground
The mounting dimensions for the E281-2310 controller are shown in Figure 1,
page 1. Remember that the cable headers will increase the space required.
The mounting holes fit common 0.156 inch plastic snap-in standoffs. A chassis
ground connection is required through one of the plated through mounting holes
(PTH) or P4 pin 8 to provide adequate shielding for the touchscreen cable.
Conductive mounting hardware can provide a chassis ground connection for the
controller.
Serial Controller Connections
Power Connections
The E281-2310 controller operates on a single voltage, positive with respect to
ground. See page 10 for power requirements.
Connect a power cable harness to P4 on the controller, a 2x5 header with pins on
0.100" centers. Use a ribbon cable with an IDC connector or crimp-to-wire pin
receptacles. An acceptable plug can be selected from Molex series 70450, Amp
AMPMODU Mod. IV product line, or Berg mini-latch housing with Mini-PV pins.
Connect a power supply to the harness and then to AC.

Serial Connections
The E281-2310 controller operates at standard RS232C levels. The serial port
connector, P2, is a 2x5 header with pins on 0.100" centers. It is configured so a
ribbon cable and commonly available insulation displacement connectors (IDCs)
may be used.

The controller only requires a 2-wire connection, controller Transmit Data (P2
pin 3) and Signal Ground (P2 pin 9). For two-way communications, the controller
Receive Data (P2 pin 5) should also be connected to the host Transmit Data pin.
Data Set Ready (DSR) and Clear to Send (CTS) may be used by the host to verify
controller connections and operation. DSR is asserted when power is applied to
the controller and CTS is asserted when the controller's power-on sequence is
complete. Data Terminal Ready (DTR) and Request to Send (RTS) can also be
connected for full hardware handshaking.
Elo driver software typically requires two-way communication (unless ELODEV’s
-p- flag is used), and all four handshaking lines.
If you are installing the controller inside a display, we recommend that you make a
cable that connects P2 to a DB9 female connector mounted on the back of the
display, or use Elo's serial cable P/N 012138. (Male connectors are used on
TouchMonitors with external controllers.) The shell of this connector should be
tied to chassis ground. Use an additional cable from the back of the display to your
serial port.
Elo can provide suitable adapters and cabling. See the IntelliTouch Product
Manual for details.
Touchscreen Connections
A round multi-conductor cable terminated in a 2x6 female connector is attached to
the IntelliTouch touchscreen. One of the following cabling options normally
applies:
•If the controller will be located inside the display, the touchscreen cable
connects directly to the 2x6 header at P3 on the controller (see Figure 1,
page 1).

SmartSet Technical Reference Manual—Addendum for the E281-2310 Controller 5
•If the controller will be external to the display, the touchscreen cable should be
terminated at the back of the display with a DB9 male connector. Use Elo's
IC1 adapter cable (P/N 012226). Then connect a cable from the DB9 male
connector to the controller using Elo's cable P/N 002863-6-2 with the Elo
002861-2-12 adapter. Unlike the serial cable, the touchscreen cables have a
special construction. Use only Elo Touchscreen cables and adapters.

Diagnostic LEDs
The E281-2310 controller has one green diagnostic LED. Following power on, the
controller performs a short self-test, where the LED stays lit. After the self-test,
the LED flashes once per second, indicating normal operation. The self-test results
are displayed by most Elo driver software.
During normal operation, the LED also indicates controller/host communication is
in progress. When the touchscreen is touched, the LED should light continuously,
then return to the normal flash rate. If the host does not remove the packet from
the controller, the LED will stay lit.
The LED will also stay lit without a touch if the touchscreen or cabling is
disconnected or not functioning.
If the LED flashes about two times per second, a warning error condition is
indicated, such as improper communication from the host. Suspect an invalid
command sequence from the host.
Remote LED Capability
The microprocessor pin that drives the status LED is connected to pin 5 of the P4
power supply connector. This signal from the microprocessor may also be used to
drive an external indicator such as another LED.
To operate an external LED, connect the LED anode to a +5 Vdc power supply
and the cathode to pin 5 of the P4 connector. (Nominal current through the LED
will be 3 mA—the LED will be comparatively dim.)

Response: ‘F’ Type Rep Ofs MinLen MaxLen
The Rep word specifies the maximum number of times (1-65535)
that a repeating coordinate value is permitted to be measured by the
controller. If the number of times that a coordinate repeats in X, Y,
and Z exceeds this value, then the controller relearns the
touchscreen waveform. This parameter determines the tolerance of
contaminants on the touchscreen. The factory default value is 2432,
which is about 25 seconds.
The Ofs byte specifies the amount (0-255) of surface wave energy
absorption that is recognized as a touch. A small value increases
touch sensitivity. A large value increases noise rejection. The
factory default value is 2.
The MinLen byte specifies the minimum width of a touch (0-255).
As with the previous argument, a small value increases the
sensitivity and a large value increases noise rejection. The factory
default is 2.
The MaxLen byte specifies the maximum width of a touch (0-255).
This parameter controls the rejection of multiple touches and
splattered contaminants. The factory default is 22.
