M7.4-1 Display node number “DispNode”
If the DMC Controller is intended to communicate with a DMC Display, this parameter is used to set the node
number of the DMC Display. It should be set coherently with the setting made inside the Display.
If the DMC Controller is intended to communicate with an iGauge, this parameter assumes different meanings
depending on “M7.4-2 Display status field ”DispInfo””:
- If the Controller is setup as an iGauge Master (“M7.4-2 Display status field ”DispInfo”” set to 8), this
parameter should indicate the node number of the last iGauge slave connected. In case no iGauge slave is
connected, this parameter should match “M7.1-1 CAN node number “CAN node””.
- If the Controller is setup as an iGauge Slave (“M7.4-2 Display status field ”DispInfo”” set to 9), this
parameter should indicate the iGauge Master’s node number (which is in turn the iGauge node number).
NOTICE!
DMC Controller which are meant to communicate with an iGauge, should have consecutive
node numbers, with the iGauge Master having the lowest node number between them.
M7.4-2 Display status field ”DispInfo”
This sets the type of information that will appear in the General Indication Field of the DMC Display or how the
Controller should behave with respect to the iGauge.
• If set to 0 (None), then the General Indication Field will be blank.
• If set to 1 (Accelerator/Demand), then the Accelerator/Demand as a percentage will be displayed,
from 0% to 100%.
• If set to 2 (Motor Velocity), then the motor velocity-speed in units of RPM will be displayed, from 0 to
the value set in ”Maximum motor frequency” (adjustable in “Menu 3 “Autotuning””).
• If set to 3 (Vehicle Speed), then the vehicle speed in units of KPH or MPH (depending on the choice
set in the DMC Color Display setting menu, see [2] for details) will be displayed, from 0 to the value
set in “M1.16-2 Vehicle maximum speed ”VmaxSpd””.
Mind that is MPH is chosen in the DMC Color Display menu, one must take care of including in the
calculation of the parameter “M1.16-1 Motor2Vehicle speed ratio ”SpdRatio”” the scaling from KPH
to MPH.
• If set to 4 (Steering), then the vehicle’s steering angle will be displayed using crosshairs.
• If set to 5 (Motor Current), then the motor current in units of A will be displayed, from 0 to the
maximum rated current of the controller.
• If set to 6 (Battery Current), then the battery current in units of A will be displayed, from 0 to the
maximum rated current of the controller.
• If set to 7 (Disabled) (default value), then the DMC Simga2NController will not send any message to
the DMC Display.
• If set to 8 (Disabled, use iGauge), then the DMC Simga2NController will not send any message to the
DMC Display, but iGauge communication will be enabled.
• If set to 8 (Disabled, use iGauge as Master), then the DMC SuperSigma2N Controller will not send any
message to the DMC Display, but iGauge communication will be enabled. If more than one controller
is in the network, this option must be set only in the controller physically connected to the iGauge.
• If set to 9 (Disabled, use iGauge as Slave), the controller will act as an iGauge slave, meaning that it
will send only one message to the iGauge Master to also show its information on the iGauge.
