TOPWAY Smart LCD

TOPWAY Smart LCD embeds a display engine to show pre-loaded user-interface (UI) and displays real time data provided by host via serial interface (RS-232C / RS-485 / UART).

They reduce host system’s workload and provide a much faster interaction with users.

TOPWAY SGTools can dramatically simplify and speed-up the UI design process and realize it in minutes.

Development Flow

1. Install SGTools
2. Design UI
3. Download to Smart LCD
4. Power on & display
5. Show data form host

Note: selected models support U-drive update, please contact us for details
