MASTERCELL NGX Main Screen

/in /by

The inSIGHT LCD screen on your MASTERCELL NGX is your window into your Infinitybox system.  With a few simple button presses, the screen lets you set up your IPM1 kit plus gives you powerful diagnostic tools.  We’ve talked about the features under the cover of your MASTERCELL NGX in a separate blog post.  You can learn about the inSIGHT screen, the menu buttons and other features by clicking this link.  In this post, we want to talk about the main screen on your MASTERCELL inSIGHT screen.  Please note that this blog post discusses the MASTERCELL NGX in our Next Generation IPM1 kit.  If you have our Legacy 3-Cell Kit or 20-Circuit Kit, search through our blog posts for details.

MASTERCELL NGX HOME Screen

After your IPM1 kit powers up, you will see this screen on your MASTERCELL.

The backlight on the screen will remain on for 5 to 10 seconds then will turn off to reduce power drawn from the battery.  To return to this screen at any time, you can press and release the HOME button.

This screen gives you several important pieces of information about your Infinitybox system.  First, it tells you the status of the CAN network.  Second, it tells you the state of ignition.  Lastly, it tells you the state of security.

CAN Status

Your Infinitybox system is connected together using a J1939 CAN network.  This is a simple 2-wire system that connects your MASTERCELL to your POWERCELLs, to your inMOTION NGX cells, to your inVIEW and to any other devices connected in your car.  At a high-level, the main screen shows you the status of the CAN network.  It shows the status of the transmit circuit (TX) and the receive circuit (RX).  You will see OK for both TX and RX when the system is communicating correctly.  If you see ERR for either TX or RX, you should check your CAN cables to make sure they are connected correctly.  You should also make sure that you have the terminator resistor that came with your IPM1 kit correctly plugged into your system.  Check your IPM1 manual for more details on the termination resistor.  If you are seeing ERR for either TX and RX, contact our technical support team by clicking this link.

Ignition State

The next important thing that the main screen displays is the state of ignition.  When the ignition is on, you will see IGN: ON.  When the ignition is off, you will see IGN: OFF.  This monitors the ignition from either the switched ignition input, the one-button start input or ignition control from inTOUCH.  Specific functions in the system can be controlled with ignition.  The most common example is turn signals.  Out of the box, the system is set so that your turn signal inputs will only work when the ignition is on.  Using our inCODE NGX tool you can set other functions to be dependent on the state of ignition.  Check out the inCODE NGX details to learn more.

Security State

The last important piece of information on the main screen is the state of security.  You will see SEC: OFF when security is disabled and SEC: ON when security is enabled.  Security can be enabled and disabled from the inLINK Key Fobs and from the inTOUCH feature on inLINK.  Out of the box, the system blocks the ignition, starter and fuel pump when security is enabled.  This is a very powerful immobilizer for your car that is built into your IPM1 kit with inLINK NGX.  Using the inCODE NGX software tool, you can set other functions in the Infinitybox system to be disabled when security is enabled.  The main screen gives you a quick and simple way to check whether security is on or off.

Summary

The main screen on the inSIGHT LCD display on the MASTERCELL NGX gives you a quick snapshot of the health of the network, the state of ignition and the state of security.  Keep watching our blog for more details of the menus and functions on inSIGHT in our Next Generation System.

CAN Control of inVIEW

Three Ways to Control inVIEW From Your Infinitybox System

The inVIEW Wiper Control Module is a full member of the Infinitybox ecosystem. When it’s part of your system, inVIEW receives its commands over the Infinitybox CAN network — the same network that ties the rest of your Infinitybox components together. That means you can operate your wipers from any of the control interfaces in your system, and it all works over a single pair of network wires.

To get inVIEW talking on the network, you’ll connect CAN HI and CAN LO to the Infinitybox CAN bus. Be sure to follow the instructions in your inVIEW manual to make these connections correctly. Once inVIEW is on the network, you have three different ways to control it.

Control With Switches Wired to Your MASTERCELL

If you’re running physical switches in your build, you can wire them to the inputs on your MASTERCELL and use them to operate inVIEW. This lets you keep the tactile feel of real switches — whether that’s a factory stalk, billet buttons, or toggles on a custom panel — while inVIEW handles all the wiper logic behind the scenes. Because your switches only need to trigger a MASTERCELL input, you can leave the big, clunky factory wiper control switches behind and use whatever clean, compact switch fits your build.

You can assign your MASTERCELL inputs to any of the inVIEW functions, including low, high, intermittent and washer.

To assign your MASTERCELL inputs to the inVIEW functions, reference the inCODE NGX instructions. inCODE NGX walks you through mapping each input to the wiper function you want it to control.

Control From the inTOUCH Screens on inLINK NGX

If your system includes inLINK NGX, you can control inVIEW directly from the inTOUCH screens. The Wiper Control screen puts every function right at your fingertips on the display. And because inTOUCH runs over your inLINK network, you can pull it up on any smartphone, tablet, or other WiFi-enabled touchscreen that connects to inLINK — giving you wiper control from whatever device is already in your hand.

From this screen you get low, high and intermittent wiper speeds, along with a wide Wash button for the washer pump. Navigation along the side takes you to the rest of your inTOUCH functions, so wiper control lives right alongside everything else in your system — no extra switches required.

Control From the inCONTROL

The inCONTROL gives you another clean, switch-free way to operate inVIEW. Start from the home screen and rotate the ring to highlight the wiper function, then touch the screen to open it.

Selecting wiper control on the Infinitybox inCONTROL

That brings you to the inVIEW wiper control screen, where low, high, intermittent and washer are arranged around the display. A yellow arc around each function shows you whether it’s on or off, and touching a function turns it on or off.

One Module, Your Choice of Controls

However you like to interact with your vehicle — real switches through your MASTERCELL, the inTOUCH screens on inLINK NGX, or the inCONTROL — inVIEW responds to all of them over the Infinitybox CAN network. That’s the advantage of building with Infinitybox: one wiper module, controlled however fits your build.
