This document describes the MVP-101 controller, a device designed for monitoring and controlling J1939-compliant engines. It serves as a display for engine parameters and alarm codes, and allows for configuration of various operational settings.
The MVP-101 controller communicates with the engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) via a J1939 CAN Bus network. This three-wire connection enables the controller to receive and display engine information and alarm codes broadcast from the ECU. A key function of the MVP-101 is to act as a trouble code reader. When the engine ECU broadcasts an SPN.FMI trouble code, the panel illuminates the appropriate LED indicator lamp (Yellow for Alarm, Red for Engine Shut Down), displays the trouble code, provides a code description on the LCD screen, and shows the occurrence count of the code. The panel also provides the ability to check both active and stored engine ECU codes through dedicated menus.
The controller features a display that shows real-time engine parameters such as temperature (e.g., 195°F), RPM (e.g., 1800 n/min), and other values (e.g., 54, 13.8, 5.0, 10000). It includes navigation buttons (up, down, menu, enter) for interacting with the menu system and a "STOP" button, likely for emergency shutdown or engine stop functionality.
The MVP-101 also incorporates analog and digital inputs to monitor additional components, senders, or signals. These inputs can be configured for various purposes, including alarms and shutdowns, expanding the monitoring capabilities beyond standard J1939 parameters.
The menu system is divided into "Viewing Menus" and "Configuration Menus." Access to configuration menus requires a password.
The Maintenance Configuration menu allows for setting up service messages and maintenance schedules. Users can define schedule intervals, warnings, and trip points, as well as reset schedules. This helps in proactive maintenance planning and ensures timely servicing of the engine and associated components. The "Services Messages (Yes/No)" option suggests the ability to enable or disable maintenance-related notifications.
