CLCD-216 & 420 Comfile CLCD Display Module
On the back of the CLCD, a control board is attached. This control board receives CuNET (I2C) or RS232C signal and prints on the CLCD.
DIP S/W
CUNET RS232 5V RS232
CLCD can communicate using I2C or RS232. There are two RS232 connectors, one for 3pin 5V level signals and the other for 4 pin +/- 12V
level signals.

*Make sure GND is shared among the power supply for the display and the CB220, otherwise you will get garbage values on the LCD.
*The internal regulator of CB220 does not have enough power to the CB220, you will need a separate power supply or regulator to power
the LCD.
