The RKD LT is a valuable support module packaged on a standard EURO Size pcb (100x160 mm),which allows of addressing user interface problems in the industrial sector economically and efficiently. This is a complete terminal with stand-alone capability to acquire and display information from and to the user.

The exchange of information directed through the intelligent control unit can take place in serial or parallel, thereby satisfying every requirement in terms of pratically and speed.

The RKD LT is designed essentially to handle the entire range of problems typically connected with alphanumeric and graphic display, visual and acoustic indication, keyboard input, printing hard copy, etc.

To advantage, the RKD LT intelligent terminal can be interfaced with all systems connected by a serial line and with all boards of the family designed for use with the ABACO® Industrial BUS, thus eliminating the need to develop specific control software (reducing code space and increasing speed of execution). The board comes with a special control firmware by which all traditional functions of an alphanumeric and graphic terminal are performed. The firmware can be altered where necessary to suit the requirements of the user, and there is also a complete working structure available to enable the development of a dedicated operating firmware.
