OVERVIEW OF CONTROLLER

18 Digital Input Controller is designed to measure digital inputs and send data to an SAE J1939 Network. The ten first inputs can be configured to measure frequency/PWM or digital signals. The last eight digital inputs measure digital signals. A variety of configurable settings is provided to enable custom configurations without the need to reprogram the device.
There are two different firmware versions available for the 18 Digital Input Controller. The difference between the two firmware versions is in the CAN transmit message support and handling. The default firmware version, AX030310 support 20 user configurable CAN transmit messages and the extended CAN transmit version, AX030320, supports 54 user configurable CAN transmit messages.
A Windows-based Axiomatic Electronic Assistant® (EA) is used to configure the controller via an USB-CAN (AX070501) device. Configurable properties – EA setpoints – are outlined in chapter 4. Setpoint configuration can be saved in a file which can be used to easily program the same configuration into another 18 Digital Input Controller. Throughout this document EA setpoint names are referred with bolded text in double quotes and the setpoint option is referred with italicized text in single quotes. For example, “Input Sensor Type” setpoint set to option ‘Digital (normal)’.
In this document the configurable properties of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) are divided into function blocks, namely Input Function Block, Diagnostic Function Block, Lookup Table Function Block, Programmable Logic Function Block, Math Function Block, CAN Transmit Message Function Block and CAN Receive Function Block. These function blocks are presented in detail in next subchapters.

The 18 Digital Input Controller can be ordered using the following part numbers depending on the application.

AX030310	Controller with the default J1939 baud rate (250kbits/s).
AX030310-01	Controller with the 500kbits/s J1939 baud rate.
AX030310-02	Controller with a custom 1Mbits/s J1939 baud rate.
AX030320	Controller with extended CAN transmit message support (250kbits/s)

Input Function Blocks
The controller has altogether eighteen inputs. The ten first Inputs can be configured to measure Active High / Active Low, PWM, Pulse (Hz or RPM) or pulse count signal. The eight last inputs measure Active High / Active Low digital signals.
Input setpoint groups have the “Input Sensor Type” setpoint, which is used to configure input type. Selecting input type affects other setpoints and how they are interpreted and should thus be selected first on this block. The input sensor types for Inputs 1 to 10 are listed in Table 1. Inputs 11 to 18 support Digital (60-62) sensor types.

0	Disabled
40	Frequency 0.5 to 50 Hz
41	Frequency 10 Hz to 1 kHz
42	Frequency 100 Hz to 10 kHz
50	PWM Low Frequency (<1kHz)
51	PWM High Frequency (>100Hz)
60	Digital (normal)
61	Digital (inverse)
62	Digital (latched)
70	Counter

Table 1 – Universal Input Sensor Type Options

0	None
1	111ns
2	1.78us
3	14.22us

Table 2 – Debounce Time Options

Frequency/RPM or Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) “Input Sensor Type” options connect an input to 16-bit timer pin on the processor. “Debounce Time” setpoint is used to select an input capture filter for the timer pin in question. “Pulse Per Revolution” setpoint is only associated with the frequency input type. If the setpoint is set to True, then the input data will be reported as in rotations-per-minute (RPM). Otherwise, frequency inputs are measured in Hertz. The 16-bit Counter input sensor type implements the input pulse timing feature. The “Measuring Window” setpoint defines number of pulses to be timed. Pulses in the input signal are calculated and the time passed until the number of pulses has been received is timed. Once the count has been reached, the time is transferred as an input signal measurement result and the calculation is started again. Fault diagnostics are not available for this input type. All Inputs have all available three Digital “Input Sensor Type” options: Normal, Inverse and Latched. With digital input sensor types, the input measurement is given, either 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF). Inputs measure digital voltage with a 3V threshold. The inputs have user selectable 10kΩ pull-up or pull-down resistors, which is defined by setting the value of the “Pullup/Pulldown Resistor” setpoint. Setpoint options are given in Table 3. By default pull-down resistors are enabled for all inputs.

0	10 kΩ Pulldown
1	10 kΩ Pullup

Table 3 – Pullup/Pulldown Resistor Options
The “Active High/Active Low” setpoint is used to configure how signal high and low are interpreted. Setpoint options are given in Table 4. By default, all inputs are selected to be Active High, which means that signal high is interpreted as 1(ON) and signal low as 0(OFF).

0	Active High
1	Active Low

Table 4 – Active High/Low Options
Table 5 shows the effect of different digital input types on input signal measurement interpretation with recommended “Pullup/Pulldown Resistor” and “Active High/Low” combinations. Fault diagnostics are not available for digital input types.

Input Sensor Type		Pulldown Active High	Pullup Active Low	Input measured (state)
60	Digital (normal)	High	Low or Open	1 (ON)
60	Digital (normal)	Low or Open	High	0 (OFF)
61	Digital (inverse)	High or Open	Low	1 (ON)
61	Digital (inverse)	Low	High or Open	0 (OFF)
62	Digital (latched)	High to Low	Low to High	0 (no change)
62	Digital (latched)	Low to High	High to Low	1 (state change)

Table 5 – Digital Input Sensor Type versus Input State

Above mentioned setpoints are provided for all the inputs. In addition the first ten inputs have setpoints associated with frequency, PMW and counter input types. The setpoints to be presented next are provided only for inputs 1 to 10.
The “Minimum Range” and “Maximum Range” setpoints are used to define range of the signal input outputs as a control source. For example, if “Maximum Range” is set to 100Hz for an input, the control signal is saturated at 100Hz incase input signal rises above 100Hz. The “Minimum Range” and “Maximum Range” setpoints are interpreted in input types units, thus they should be re-adjusted after editing “Input Sensor Type”. Software filters can be applied to the measured input signal. Setpoints “Software Filter Type” and “Software Filter Constant” are used to configure the software filter. By default no filter is applied to the signal. Software filtering is described in detail in the section below.
The rest of the setpoints in the Input setpoint group are used to configure input related fault diagnostics and are described in section 1.3.

Input filtering
Measured input data from universal inputs can be filtered to form desired CAN message data. Input filters are configured with “Filter Type” and “Filter Constant” setpoints. Filters are configured for each input individually.

0	No Filtering
1	Moving Average
2	Repeating Average

Table 6 – Filter Type Options
“Filter Type” setpoint defines the type of software filter used. Setpoint options are ‘No Filtering’, ‘Moving Average’ and ‘Repeating Average’. The ‘No Filtering’ option applies no filtering to the measured input data. The ‘Moving Average option applies the transfer function below to the measured input data, where ValueN is the current value of the CAN message data, ValueN-1 is the previous CAN message data and Filter Constant is the value of the “Filter Constant setpoint”.
Equation 1 – Moving Average Transfer Function:

The ‘Repeating Average’ option applies the transfer function above to the measured input data, where N is value of the “Filter Constant” setpoint. At every reading of the input value, the value is added to the sum. At every Nth read, the sum is divided by N, and the result is new CAN message data. The sum is set to zero for the next read and summing is started again.

Diagnostic Function Blocks
The 18 Digital Input Controller supports diagnostic messaging. DM1 message is a message, containing Active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that is sent to the J1939 network in case a fault has been detected. A Diagnostic Trouble Code is defined by the J1939 standard as a four-byte value.

In addition to supporting the DM1 message, the following are supported:

SPN	Suspect Parameter Number	(user defined)
FMI	Failure Mode Identifier	(see Table 9 and Table 10)
CM	Conversion Method	(always set to 0)
OC	Occurrence Count	(number of times the fault has happened)

DM2	Previously Active Diagnostic Trouble Codes	Sent only on request
DM3	Diagnostic Data Clear/Reset of Previously Active DTCs	Done only on request
DM11	Diagnostic Data Clear/Reset for Active DTCs	Done only on request

Fault detection and reaction is associated with the ten first Inputs, as diagnostics are available only for non-digital input types. Fault diagnostics are not available for digital input types, and thus diagnostic setpoints are not used with them. In addition to input faults, the 18 Digital Input Controller can also detect/react to three additional faults namely power supply fault, over temperature fault and communication fault. The EA provides several setpoints to configure diagnostics. Diagnostics are available only for frequency and PWM input types, thus diagnostic setpoints are provided only for fist 10 Inputs. Input error diagnostic setpoints are among the setpoint group of each input and diagnostic setpoints for additional faults are presented as their own setpoint groups in the EA.

Fault detection thresholds are presented in Table 7. Input errors can be flagged as either a high or low occurrence, thus there are two user selectable threshold value setpoints “Maximum error” and “Minimum error”. Input error thresholds are interpreted in “Input Sensor Type” units. Changing input type will change “Minimum error” and “Maximum error” to corresponding default values, thus Input Sensor Type should be set before adjusting “Minimum error” and “Maximum error” setpoints. Fault detection can be performed only if the thresholds are within the range of permitted values which are listed in Table 1. For example, 10 Hz to 1 kHz input maximum error has to be less than 1 kHz to enable detection of the fault high occurrence. Power Supply fault can be also flagged as either a high or low occurrence and has two selectable threshold setpoints. Over Temperature fault reacts only to a single condition and thus, the only one threshold setpoint is supplied. Lost Communication fault occurs if no CAN messages are received within “Receive Message Timeout” time (see section 1.8).

Fault	Minimum Threshold	Maximum Threshold
Universal Input	Minimum Error	Maximum Error
Power Supply	Power Undervoltage Threshold	Power Overvoltage Threshold
Over Temperature	N/A	Over Temperature Threshold
Lost Communication	N/A	Received Message Timeout

Table 7 – Fault Detect Thresholds

A hysteresis can be applied to prevent rapid setting and clearing of the error flag when signal value is near the fault detection threshold. Input error and additional error detection hysteresis is configured with “Hysteresis to clear fault” setpoint.
“Generate Diagnostic Messages” setpoint determines whether an active fault generates diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is sent to J1939 network as part of diagnostic message (DM). So long as even one Diagnostic function block has “Generate Diagnostic Messages” set to ‘True’, the 18 Digital Input Controller will send the DM1 message every one second, regardless of whether there are any active faults, as recommended by standard. While there are no active DTCs, the 18 Digital Input Controller will send “No Active Faults” message. If a previously inactive DTC becomes active, a DM1 will be sent immediately to reflect this. As soon as the last active DTC goes inactive, a DM1 indicating that there are no more active DTCs will be sent.

If there is more than one active DTC at any given time, the regular DM1 message will be sent using a multipacket message to the Requester Address using the Transport Protocol (TP).
At power up, the DM1 message will not be broadcasted until after 5 second delay. This is done to prevent any power up or initialization conditions from being flagged as an active error on the network.
When the fault is linked to a DTC, a non-volatile log of the occurrence count (OC) is kept. As soon as the controller detects a new (previously inactive) fault, it will start decrementing the “Delay Before Sending DM1” timer for that Diagnostic function block. If the fault has remained present during the delay time, then the controller will set the DTC to active, and will increment the OC in the log. A DM1 will immediately be generated that includes the new DTC. The timer is provided so that intermittent faults do not overwhelm the network as the fault comes and goes, since a DM1 message would be sent every time the fault shows up or goes away. By default, the fault flag is cleared when error condition that has caused it goes away. The DTC is made Previously Active and is it is no longer included in the DM1 message. To identify a fault having happened, even if the condition that has caused it has gone away, the “Event Cleared only by DM11” setpoint can be set to ‘True’. This configuration enables DTC to stay Active, even after the fault flag has been cleared, and be included in DM1 message until a Diagnostic Data Clear/Reset for Active DTCs (DM11) has been requested.

As defined by J1939 Standard the first byte of the DM1 message reflects the Lamp status. “Lamp Set by Event in DM1” setpoint determines the lamp type set in this byte of DTC. “Lamp Set by Event in DM1” setpoint options are listed in Table 8. By default, the ‘Amber, Warning’ lamp is typically the one set be any active fault.

0	Protect
1	Amber Warning
2	Red Stop
3	Malfunction

Table 8 – Lamp Set by Event in DM1 Options
“SPN for Event used in DTC” defines suspect parameter number used as part of DTC. The default value zero is not allowed by the standard, thus no DM will be sent unless “SPN for Event used in DTC” in is configured to be different from zero. It is user’s responsibility to select SPN that will not violate J1939 standard. When the “SPN for Event used in DTC” is changed, the OC of the associated error log is automatically reset to zero.

Table 9 – FMI for Event Used in DTC Options
Every fault has associated a default FMI with them. The FMI can be configured with the “FMI for Event Used in DTC” setpoint, presented in Table 9. When the FMI is selected from Low Fault FMIs in Table 10 for a fault that can be flagged either high or low occurrence, the high occurrence automatically uses the corresponding High Fault FMI by Table 10. If any other FMI is selected than the Low Fault FMI from the Table 10, then both the low and high fault will be assigned the same FMI.

Low Fault FMIs	High Fault FMIs
FMI=1, Data Valid But Below Normal Operation Range – Most Severe Level	FMI=0, Data Valid But Above Normal Operational Range – Most Severe Level
FMI=4, Voltage Below Normal, Or Shorted to Low Source	FMI=3, Voltage Above Normal, Or Shorted To High Source

FMI=21, Data Drifted Low	FMI=20, Data Drifted High

Table 10 – Low Fault FMIs and corresponding High Fault FMIs

Lookup Table Function Block
Lookup Tables are used to give output response up to 10 slopes per input. If more than 10 slopes are required, A Programmable Logic Block can be used to combine up to three tables to get 30 slopes as described in Section 0.
Lookup tables have two differing modes defined by the “X-Axis Type” setpoint, given in Table 11. Option ‘0 – Data Response’ is the normal mode where block input signal is selected with the “X-Axis Source” and “X-Axis Number” setpoints and X values present directly input signal values. With option ‘1 – Time Response’ the input signal is time and X values present time in milliseconds. And selected input signal is used as digital enable.

0	Data Response
1	Time Response

Table 11 – X-Axis Type Options
The slopes are defined with (x, y) points and associated point response. X value presents input signal value and Y value corresponding Lookup Table output value. “PointN – Response” setpoint defines type of the slope from preceding point to the point in question. Response options are given in Table 12. ‘Ramp To’ gives a linearized slope between points, whereas ‘Jump to’ gives a point to point response, where any input value between XN-1 and XN will result Lookup Table output being YN. “Point0 – Response” is always ‘Jump To’ and cannot be edited. Choosing ‘Ignored’ response causes the associated point and all the following points to be ignored.

0	Ignore
1	Ramp To
2	Jump To

Table 12 – PointN – Response Options
The X values are limited by minimum and maximum range of the selected input source if the source is one of the Input Blocks or a Math Function Block. For the fore mentioned sources X-Axis data will be redefined when ranges are changed, therefore inputs should be adjusted before changing X-Axis values. For other sources Xmin and Xmax are -100000 and 1000000. The X-Axis is constraint to be in rising order, thus value of the next index is greater than or equal to preceding one. Therefore, when adjusting the X-Axis data, it is recommended that X10 is changed first, then lower indexes in descending order.

The Y-Axis has no constraints on the data it presents, thus inverse, decreasing, increasing or other response can be easily established. The Smallest of the Y-Axis values is used as Lookup Table output min and the largest of the Y-Axis values is used as Lookup Table output max (i.e. used as Xmin and Xmax values in linear calculation). Ignored points are not considered for min and max values.

Programmable Logic Function Block
The Programmable Logic Function Block is very powerful tool. A Programmable Logic can be linked to up to three Lookup Tables, any of which would be selected only under given conditions. Thus, the output of a Programmable Logic at any given time will be the output of the Lookup Table selected by defined logic. Therefore, up to three different responses to the same input, or three different responses to different inputs, can become the input to another function block.
In order to enable any one of the Programmable Logic blocks, the “Programmable Logic Enabled” setpoint must be set to ‘True’. By default, all Logic blocks are disabled. The three associated tables are selected by setting “Table X – Lookup Table Block Number” setpoint to the desired Lookup Table number, for example selecting 1 would set Lookup Table 1 as TableX.

For each TableX there are three conditions that define the logic to select the associated Lookup Table as Logic output. Each condition implements function where Operator is logical operator defined by setpoint “Table X – Condition Y, Operator”. Setpoint options are listed in Table 13. Condition arguments are selected with “Table x – Condition Y, Argument Z Source” and “Table x – Condition Y, Argument Z Number” setpoints. If ‘0 – Control not Used’ option is selected as “Table x – Condition Y, Argument Z Source” the argument is interpreted as 0.

0	=, Equal
1	!=, Not Equal
2	>, Greater Than
3	>=, Greater Than or Equal
4	<, Less Than
5	<=, Less Than or Equal

Table 13 – Table X – Condition Y, Operator Options
The three conditions are evaluated and if the result satisfies logical operation defined with “Table X – Conditions Logical Operator” setpoint, given in Table 14, the associated Lookup Table is selected as output of the Logical block. Option ‘0 – Default Table’ selects associated Lookup Table in all conditions.

0	Default Table (Table1)
1	Cnd1 And Cnd2 And Cnd3
2	Cnd1 Or Cnd2 Or Cnd3
3	(Cnd1 And Cnd2) Or Cnd3
4	(Cnd1 Or Cnd2) And Cnd3

Table 14 – Table X – Conditions Logical Operator Options
The three logical operations are evaluated in order and the first to satisfy gets selected, thus if Table1 logical operation is satisfied, the Lookup Table associated with Table1 gets selected regardless of two other logical operations. In addition, if none of the logical operations is satisfied the Lookup Table associated with Table1 gets selected.

Math Function Block
There are four mathematical function blocks that allow the user to define basic algorithms. A math function block can take up to five input signals. Each input is then scaled according to the associated limit and scaling setpoints.
Inputs are converted into percentage value based on the “Function X Input Y Minimum” and “Function X Input Y Maximum” values selected. For additional control the user can also adjust the “Function X Input Y Scaler”. By default, each input has a scaling ‘weight’ of 1.0 However, each input can be scaled from -1.0 to 1.0 as necessary before it is applied in the function.

For example, in the case where the user may want to combine two inputs such that a joystick (Input 1) is the primary control of an output, but the speed can be incremented or decremented based on a potentiometer (Input 2), it may be desired that 75% of the scale is controlled by the joystick position, while the potentiometer can increase or decrease the min/max output by up to 25%. In this case, Input 1 would be scaled with 0.75, while Input 2 uses 0.25. The resulting addition will give a command from 0 to 100% based on the combined positions of both inputs.

A mathematical function block includes four selectable functions, which each implements equation A operator B, where A and B are function inputs and operator is function selected with setpoint “Math function X Operator”. Setpoint options are presented in Table 15. The functions are connected together, so that result of the preceding function goes into Input A of the next function. Thus Function 1 has both Input A and Input B selectable with setpoints, where Functions 2 to 4 have only Input B selectable. Input is selected by setting “Function X Input Y Source” and “Function X Input Y Number”. If “Function X Input B Source” is set to 0 ‘Control not used’ signal goes through function unchanged.

0	=, True when InA equals InB
1	!=, True when InA not equal InB
2	>, True when InA greater than InB
3	>=, True when InA greater than or equal InB
4	<, True when InA less than InB
5	<=, True when InA less than or equal InB
6	OR, True when InA or InB is True
7	AND, True when InA and InB are True
8	XOR, True when either InA or InB is True, but not both
9	+, Result = InA plus InB
10	-, Result = InA minus InB
11	x, Result = InA times InB
12	/, Result = InA divided by InB
13	MIN, Result = Smallest of InA and InB
14	MAX, Result = Largest of InA and InB

Table 15 – Math function X Operator Options

For logic operations (6, 7, 8) scaled input greater or equal to 1 is treated as TRUE. For logic operations (0 to 8), the result of the function will always be 0 (FALSE) of 1 (TRUE). For the arithmetic functions (9 to 14), it is recommended to scale the data such that the resulting operation will not exceed full scale (0 to 100%) and saturate the output result.
When dividing, a zero divider will always result in a 100% output value for the associated function.

Lastly the resulting mathematical calculation, presented as a percentage value, can be scaled into the appropriate physical units using the “Math Output Minimum Range” and “Math Output Maximum Range” setpoints. These values are also used as the limits when the Math Function I selected as the input source for another function block.

CAN Transmit Message Function Block
The CAN Transmit function block is used to send any output from another function block (i.e. input, CAN receive) to the J1939 network. The AX030310 ECU has twenty and the AX030320 has fifty-four CAN Transmit Messages and each message has four completely user-defined signals.

The standard firmware AX030310 has 20 user-configurable CAN transmit messages. The extended CAN transmit version, AX030320 has 54 user configurable CAN transmit messages. The tradeoff is in CAN transmit data update rate, the AX030310 updates its CAN messages at 10ms intervals, the AX030320 uses 20ms update rate.

CAN Transmit Message Setpoints

Each CAN Transmit Message setpoint group includes setpoints that effect the whole message and are thus mutual for all signals of the message. These setpoints are presented in this section. The setpoints that configure an individual signal are presented in next section. The “Transmit PGN” setpoint sets PGN used with the message. User should be familiar with the SAE J1939 standard and select values for PGN/SPN combinations as appropriate from section J1939/71.
The “Repetition Rate” setpoint defines the interval used to send the message to the J1939 network. If the “Repetition Rate” is set to zero, the message is disabled unless it shares its PGN with another message. In case of a shared PGN repetition rate of the LOWEST numbered message are used to send the message ‘bundle’.

At power up, transmitted messages will not be broadcast until after a 5 second delay. This is done to prevent any power up or initialization conditions from creating problems on the network.
By default, all messages are sent on Proprietary B PGNs as broadcast messages. Thus “Transmit Message Priority” is always initialized to 6 (low priority) and the “Destination Address” setpoint is not used. This setpoint is only valid when a PDU1 PGN has been selected, and it can be set either to the Global Address (0xFF) for broadcasts or sent to a specific address as setup by the user.

CAN Transmit Signal Setpoints
Each CAN transmit message has four associated signals, which define data inside the Transmit message. “Control Source” setpoint together with “Control Number” setpoint define the signal source of the message. “Control Source” and “Control Number” options are listed in Table 16. Setting “Control Source” to ‘Control Not Used’ disables the signal. “Transmit Data Size” setpoint determines how many bits signal reserves from the message. “Transmit Data Index in Array” determines in which of 8 bytes of the CAN message LSB of the signal is located. Similarly, “Transmit Bit Index in Byte” determines in which of 8 bits of a byte the LSB is located. These setpoints are freely configurable, thus it is the User’s responsibility to ensure that signals do not overlap and mask each other. “Transmit Data Resolution” setpoint determines the scaling done on the signal data before it is sent to the bus. “Transmit Data Offset” setpoint determines the value that is subtracted from the signal data before it is scaled. Offset and Resolution are interpreted in units of the selected source signal.

CAN Receive Function Block

The CAN Receive function block is designed to take any SPN from the J1939 network and use it as an input to another function block (i.e. Outputs).
The “Receive Message Enabled” is the most important setpoint associated with this function block and it should be selected first. Changing it will result in other setpoints being enabled/disabled as appropriate. By default, ALL receive messages are disabled.

Once a message has been enabled, a Lost Communication fault will be flagged if that message is not received off the bud within the “Receive Message Timeout” period. This could trigger a Lost Communication event as described in section 1.3. To avoid timeouts on a heavily saturated network, it is recommended to set the period at least three times longer than the expected update rate. To disable the timeout feature, simply set this value to zero, in which case the received message will never trigger a Lost Communication fault. By default, all control messages are expected to be sent to the 18 Digital Input Controller on Proprietary B PGNs. However, should a PDU1 message be selected, the 18 Digital Input Controller can be setup to receive it from any ECU by setting the “Specific Address that sends the PGN” to the Global Address (0xFF). If a specific address is selected instead, then any other ECU data on the PGN will be ignored.
The “Receive Data Size”, “Receive Data Index in Array (LSB)”, “Receive Bit Index in Byte (LSB)”, “Receive Resolution” and “Receive Offset” can all be used to map any SPN supported by the J1939 standard to the output data of the Received function block.

As mentioned earlier, a CAN receive function clock can be selected as the source of the control input for the output function blocks. When this is case, the “Received Data Min (Off Threshold)” and “Received Data Max (On Threshold)” setpoints determine the minimum and maximum values of the control signal. As the names imply, they are also used as the On/Off thresholds for digital output types. These values are in whatever units the data is AFTER the resolution and offset is applied to CAN receive signal. The 18 Digital Input Controller I/O supports up to four unique CAN Receive Messages. Default setpoint values are listed in section 4.9.

Available Control Sources
Many of the Function Blocks have selectable input signals, which are determined with “[Name] Source” and “[Name] Number” setpoints. Together, these setpoints uniquely select how the I/O of the various function blocks are linked together. “[Name] Source” setpoint determines the type of the source and “[Name] Number” selects the actual source if there is more than one of the same type. Available “[Name] Source” options and associated “[Name] Number” ranges are listed in Table 16. Sources from 0 to 9 are available for all blocks and sources from 10 to 13 are available sources for CAN Transmit messages. Thought input Sources are freely selectable, not all options would make sense for any particular input, and it is up to the user to program the controller in a logical and functional manner.

Sources	Number Range	Notes
0: Control Not Used	N/A	When this is selected, it disables all other setpoints associated with the signal in question.
1: Received CAN Message	1 to 4	User must enable the function block, as it is disabled by default.
2: Digital Input Measured	1 to 18
3: Lookup Table	1 to 4
4: Programmable Logic Block	1 to 4	User must enable the function block, as it is disabled by default.
5: Math Function Block	1 to 6	User must enable the function block, as it is disabled by default.
6: Control Constant Data	1 to 15	1 = FALSE, 2 = TRUE, 3 to 15 = User Selectable
7: Power Supply Measured	N/A	Measured power supply value in Volts, used in Power Supply Diagnostics, can be mapped to a CAN Transmit Message.
8: Processor Temperature Measured	N/A	Measured processor temperature in °C, used in Over Temperature Diagnostics, can be mapped to a CAN Transmit Message.

Table 16 – Available Control Sources and Numbers
If a non-digital signal is selected to drive a digital input, the signal is interpreted to be OFF at or below the minimum of selected source and ON at or above the maximum of the selected source, and it will not change in between those points. Thus, analog to digital interpretation has a built-in hysteresis defined by minimum and maximum of the selected source, as shown in Figure 2. For example, Universal Input signal is interpreted to be ON at or above “Maximum Range” and OFF at or below “Minimum Range”. Control Constant Data has no unit nor minimum and maximum assigned to it, thus user has to assign appropriate constant values according to intended use.

OVERVIEW OF J1939 FEATURES

The software was designed to provide flexibility to the user with respect to messages sent from the ECU by providing:

Configurable ECU Instance in the NAME (to allow multiple ECUs on the same network)
Configurable Input Parameters

Configurable PGN and Data Parameters
Configurable Diagnostic Messaging Parameters, as required
Diagnostic Log maintained in non-volatile memory

Introduction to Supported Messages
The ECU is compliant with the standard SAE J1939, and supports following PGNs from the standard.

None of the application layer PGNs are supported as part of the default configurations, but they can be selected as desired for transmit function blocks.

Setpoints are accessed using standard Memory Access Protocol (MAP) with proprietary addresses. The Electronic Assistant® (EA) allows for quick and easy configuration of the unit over CAN network.

NAME, Address and Identification Information
The 18 Digital Input Controller I/O ECU has the following default for the J1939 NAME. The user should refer to the SAE J1939/81 standard for more information on these parameters and their ranges.

Arbitrary Address Capable	Yes
Industry Group	0, Global
Vehicle System Instance	0
Vehicle System	0, Non-specific system
Function	125, Axiomatic I/O Controller
Function Instance	6, Axiomatic AX030310
ECU Instance	0, First Instance
Manufacture Code	162, Axiomatic Technologies
Identity Number	Variable uniquely assigned during factory programming for each ECU

The ECU Instance is a configurable setpoint associated with the NAME. Changing this value will allow multiple ECUs of this type to be distinguishable from one another when they are connected on the same network.
The default value of the “ECU Address” setpoint is 128 (0x80), which is the preferred starting address for self-configurable ECUs as set by the SAE in J1939 tables B3 and B7. The EA will allow the selection of any address between 0 and 253. It is user’s responsibility to select an address that complies with the standard. The user must also be aware that since the unit is arbitrary address capable, if another ECU with a higher priority NAME contends for the selected address, the 18 Digital Input Controller I/O will continue select the next highest address until it finds one that it can claim. See J1939/81 for more details about address claiming.

ECU Identification Information

Software Identifier

Byte 1 is set to 5, and the identification fields are as follows.

(Part Number)*(Version)*(Date)*(Owner)*(Description)

The EA shows all this information in “General ECU Information”, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The information provided in the Software ID is available for any J1939 service tool which supports the PGN -SOFT

Component Identification

ECU SETPOINTS ACCESSED WITH ELECTRONIC ASSISTANT

This section describes in detail each setpoint, and their default and ranges. Default values presented in tables are values used when the setpoint in question is active. Many of the setpoints are dependent on other setpoints and they may not be active by default. Associated Figures show screen capture of initial operation, however, some of the setpoints are not in default condition as they are set differently to activate more setpoints for the image. The setpoints are divided into setpoint groups as they are shown in EA. For more information on how each setpoint is used by the 18 Digital Input Controller, refer to the relevant section in this user manual.

Accessing the ECU Using EA
ECUs with P/N AX030310 or P/N AX030320 do not need any specific setup for EA. To access the high-speed versions, AX030310-01 and/or AX030310-02, the CAN bus Baud Rata needs to be set accordingly. The CAN Interface Setup can be found from “Options” menu in EA.

J1939 Network Parameters
“ECU Instance Number” and “ECU Address” setpoints and their effects are defined in Section 3.2.

Name	Range	Default	Notes
ECU Address	0x80	0-253	Preferred address for a self-configurable ECU
ECU Instance	0-7	0x00	Per J1939-81

Table 18 – J1939 Network Setpoints
If non-default values for the “ECU Instance Number” or “ECU Address” are used, they will be mirrored during a setpoint file flashing, and will only take effect once the entire file has been downloaded to the unit. After the setpoint flashing is complete, the unit will claim the new address and/or re-claim the address with the new NAME. If these setpoints are changing, it is recommended to close and re-open the CAN connection on EA after the file is loaded so that only the new NAME and address are showing in the J1939 CAN Network ECU list.

Digital Input Setpoints
The Digital Inputs are defined in Section 0. The setpoint group includes diagnostic related setpoints, which are presented in Section 1.3 in detail.

REFLASHING OVER CAN WITH EA BOOTLOADER

The AX030310 can be upgraded with new application firmware using the Bootloader Information section. This section details the simple step-by-step instructions to upload new firmware provided by Axiomatic onto the unit via CAN, without requiring it to be disconnected from the J1939 network.
Note: To upgrade the firmware use Electronic Assistant ® V4.5.53.0 or higher.

When EA first connects to the ECU, the Bootloader Information section will display the following information.
To use the bootloader to upgrade the firmware running on the ECU, change the variable “Force Bootloader To Load on Reset” to Yes.
When the prompt box asks if you want to reset the ECU, select Yes.
Upon reset, the ECU will no longer show up on the J1939 network as an AX030310 but rather as J1939 Bootloader #1.

Note that the bootloader is NOT Arbitrary Address Capable. This means that if you want to have multiple bootloaders running simultaneously (not recommended) you would have to manually change the address for each one before activating the next, or there will be address conflicts. And only one ECU would show up as the bootloader. Once the ‘active’ bootloader returns to regular functionality, the other ECU(s) would have to be power cycled to re-activate the bootloader feature.
When the Bootloader Information section is selected, the same information is shown as when it was running the AX030310 firmware, but in this case the Flashing feature has been enabled.
Select the Flashing button and navigate to where you had saved the AX030310_Simulink.bin file sent from Axiomatic. (Note: only binary (.bin) files can be flashed using the EA tool.)
Once the Flash Application Firmware window opens, you can enter comments such as “Firmware upgraded by [Name]” if you so desire. This is not required, and you can leave the field blank if you do not want to use it.
Note: You do not have to date/time-stamp the file, as this is done automatically by the EA tool when you upload the new firmware.

NOTE: It is good practice to tick the “Erase All ECU Flash Memory” box. Please note, that selecting this option will erase ALL data stored in non-volatile flash. It will also erase any configuration of the setpoints that might have been done to the ECU and reset all setpoints to their factory defaults. In case the controller contains custom settings, those settings need to be saved to PC before reflashing.A progress bar will show how much of the firmware has been sent as the upload progresses. The more traffic there is on the J1939 network, the longer the upload process will take.

Once the firmware has finished uploading, a message will pop up indicating the successful operation. If you select to reset the ECU, the new version of the AX030310 application will start running, and the ECU will be identified as such by EA. Otherwise, the next time the ECU is power-cycled, the AX030310 application will run rather than the bootloader function.

Note: If at any time during the upload the process is interrupted, the data is corrupted (bad checksum) or for any other reason the new firmware is not correct, i.e. bootloader detects that the file loaded was not designed to run on the hardware platform, the bad or corrupted application will not run. Rather, when the ECU is reset or power-cycled the J1939 Bootloader will continue to be the default application until valid firmware has been successfully uploaded into the unit.
