INTRODUCTION
DGUS is a brand-new GUI software platform based on DWIN K600+ kernel which developed and
authorized by DWIN Technology with own proprietary. Under DWIN system, GUI designs and
developments for communicating with user’s host could be achieved by DGUS_SDK, DWIN Toolbox that
specialized in visual interface and easy-use operation, it saves engineers from complicated programming
and takes less time for whole products developments.

Framework of DGUS System

Differing from traditional LCMs which manage the display by commands or timing sequence, GUI in DGUS
module is accomplished by real-time variables. All the feature of operation and display are defined in
preinstalled programmable Config. files. Software flow charts of different development methods for
temperature controller are shown as below.

 Professional, Creditable, Successful DGUS Development Guide V3.1.0

As above information illustrated the DGUS’s easy-usage and quick convenience as compared with
traditional development, let alone animations, icons, and other factors on screen are considered.

In some medium and small projects of automation, DGUS module can act as host of other modules in a
RS485 network. DGUS module can even work as a microcontroller by DWIN OS running which is a DWIN’s
own programming system.

The whole development procedure is accomplished with DGUS_SDK_V3.4, configuration software for PC
for creating Config.files for DGUS module.

DGUS NEW FEATURES

Development with DGUS is different from previous commands.
A. Pictures are downloaded in a flash as background of GUI.
B. Controls are integrated in DGUS module, so most of operation and calculation is independent from
microcontroller.
C. Concept of variables is introduced and properties of variables are predefined by config files. By
updating data in flash, screens are refreshed synchronously.
D. Config files are downloaded by SD card, making the interface easier to have an overall outlook.
E. Properties of module and variables can be modified freely by commands or touchscreen.

Trend curve buffer will not occupy the variable SRAM. Maximum buffer for 8 trend curves can be updated
simultaneously.

1.4 Firmware Upgrade

Essential Facilities:
 DC regulated power supply.
 Serial port cable.
 Computer which has a hardware serial port and serial debugging assistant SSCOM3.2 or any similar
software.
Serial port and SSCOM3.2 are not necessary if upgrade firmware via SD card.

Procedures of Upgrade:
A. Power off DGUS module and connect module with PC via serial port.
B. Open the SSCOM3.2 and click "Open File" to select a DGUS bin file, such as DGUS_V3.5.BIN.
C. Write "DWIN_M600_BOOT!" in data input column and set send-eve interval to 10ms/Time.
D. Select "Send New" and "Send eve", then power DWIN module again.
E. The serial port will receive "Erase ......”. If no response, please check the connection.
F. It will receive "Please Tx File!" after one second, then hook off "Send New" and click "Send File".
G. Wait another 3 to 10 seconds. If the serial port receives "***************END***************", it means the
download is finished.
H. Restart the module. Upgrade finished.

Upgrade your DGUS firmware by SD card is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for V2.0 and higher version.

Check Firmware Version:

A. Physically, connect DGUS HMI serial port with COM port on PC, and connect power properly.
B. Open the SSCOM3.2 and make sure that "SendHEX" and "HexData" are ticked.
C. Then write command in data input column: "Frame_Header (2 Bytes) 03 81 00 01" and press “SEND”
button.

AMP DISPLAY INC. 9 www.ampdisplay.com/

 Professional, Creditable, Successful DGUS Development Guide V3.1.0
D. Your computer will receive a feedback message like "Frame_Header (2 Bytes) 03 81 00 XX". The
number XX is the version number in BCD format. If it's 10, that means V1.0, if 35, means V3.5.

1.5 Touch Screen Calibration

Tap touch screen 20 times in 4 seconds in none-button area to activate calibration mode.

 Quickly tap the touch screen more than 20 times in 4 seconds.

Note: do not click button area.
 Click until a long beep from the buzzer.
For the models without buzzer, user can time for 4 seconds or judge by if the variables are refreshed.
 Click particular position on touch screen to calibrate.
 Calibration finished and back to the starting page.

1.6 Enable/Disable SD Card

Specific codes in CONFIG.TXT can be used to disable SD card slot on DGUS module with password to
avoid accidental operation.
Code to Disable SD Card Description
Part 1 SD_LOCK Fixed.
Password address in variable SRAM, 0x0000 –
Part 2 1000
0x6FF8.
Part 3 ABCD1234 Password to re-enable SD card, 8 bytes.
Code in CONFIG.TXT to re-able SD card: SD_UNLOCK.

E.g.: presume password is 12345678, saved in 0x6000 address in variable SRAM.

Steps to disable SD card:

1. Write SD_LOCK_6000_12345678 to CONFIG.TXT.
2. Copy CONFIG.TXT into DWIN_SET folder in SD card.
3. Plug SD card into slot on DWIN module to disable it.

Steps to re-enable SD card:

Method 1: Send password to module via serial port to activate SD card once.
We take 0xA55A as frame header, send command: A5 5A 0B 82 60 00 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38.

Method 2: Using <Text Input> to type password can activate SD card once.

Please remember the password or DGUS module will be locked permanently.

AMP DISPLAY INC. 10 www.ampdisplay.com/
 Professional, Creditable, Successful DGUS Development Guide V3.1.0
Format your SD card: if part of your data in SD card is not downloaded into module, please format your SD
card as the instruction below.

Step 1: open RUN function in Windows and run DOS using “command”.

Step 2: type command to format: “format/q g:/fs:fat32/a:4096”, and click <enter> to finish formatting.

The letter in red is the disk number of SD card.

1.7 User program based on DWIN OS

Backstage user program is supported by DGUS module with DWIN OS function. User program, including
maximum 32764 commands, is saved in address #23 in font flash memory. Specific codes in CONFIG.TXT
can be used to disable/enable user program.

Enable user program: RUN_DWIN_OS.

Disable user program: STOP_DWIN_OS.

Executing cycle of user program is the same with refresh cycle of variables (200ms or 250ms). Please refer
to <DWIN OS Development Guide> to get detailed information.

2 Serial Port
Serial mode of DGUS module is asynchronous, full duplex serial port (UART). Each byte occupies 10 bits: 1
stars bit, 8 data bit, and 1 stop bit.

Baud rate can be defined by SD card. All data transfer is in hexadecimal format with MSB priority. E.g.:
transferring 0x1234, 0x12 will be transferred first, then 0x34 after.

Busy pin is invalid for DGUS module, keep it unconnected.

Volume of serial FIFO buffer is 4KB, minimum capacity of data transfer in DGUS circle (200ms or 250ms).
Maximum capacity depends on the complexity of GUI.

DWIN recommends sending no more than 4KB data to DGUS module in a DGUS circle.

Use command 0x84 to send trend curve data, please refer to Chapter 2.2 Command Set for detailed
command format.

Scale and position of curve can be modified by buttons on screen if variable description is saved in SP
address.

 To scale the trend curve automatically with Incremental Adjustment (0xFE02), without user’s program.
 To move the trend curve up and down with using Slider adjustment (0xFE03) to revise the value of
Y_Central, without user’s program.

MUL_Y calculation of full-scale trend curve:

MUL_Y= (Ye-Ys)*256/ (Vmax-Vmin).
Ye Ys are Y coordinates of trend curve window, Vmax Vmin are Max and Min value of trend curve.

E.g.: a 12-bit A/D data acquisition, Vmax= 4095, Vmin= 0, to display trend curve fully-scale between Ys =
50 and Ye = 430, MUL_Y= (430-50)*256/ (4095-0)= 23.7, rounded down to get 23.

6 Development Steps
Step 1: Planning of Variables
Basic principles of planning:
VP should be arranged in continuous addresses for convenience to write and read.
Overlap of VP and SP addresses should be avoided.

Step 2: Interface Design

Pictures, icons and fonts are generated by image processing software.
Color palette should be 65K color (16-bit) to ensure the accordance of design and final effect.

Step 3: Configuration of User Interface

Config. file for the touch logic and variable display are generated by DGUS_SDK.

AMP DISPLAY INC. 42 www.ampdisplay.com/

 Professional, Creditable, Successful DGUS Development Guide V3.1.0

Step 4: Debugging & Modification

Testing and revising the interface by viewing effects on DGUS module.

Step5: Confirm & Filing

Config. files, fonts, icon files, pictures and other files can be stored in SD cards for filing and mass
production.
