General Description
The Stellaris® Intelligent Display Modules (MDL-IDM and MDL-IDM28) offer a complete
graphical touch-screen user interface solution for control, automation, and instrumentation
applications. The compact design is based on a Stellaris® LM3S6918 microcontroller; a
highly integrated controller incorporating a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3 core. A key feature of
the MDL-IDM is the Power over Ethernet (PoE) power system that facilitates both network
and power connections with a single RJ45 cable. The MDL-IDM28 module offers the same
features as the standard MDL-IDM, but without the Power Over Ethernet capability.
