NC1701 MULTIPLEXED DESIGN

SPECIFICATIONS & APPLICATIONS

INTRODUCTION
 
The NC1701 is a 32-bit enhanced vehicle communications microcontroller from Nebula Systems. It supports a wide range of On-Board Diagnostic communication standards together with many Telematic specific features like VIN reading and ignition detection.
When connected to a Mobile Communications enabled client (i.e. Telematic GSM black box) that can provide access to Nebula Systems MECH5 platform, the NC1701 can access a vast range of OEM vehicle data and services

OVERVIEW

The NC1701 is an advanced vehicle diagnostics processor which supports two simultaneous CAN interfaces, four ISO lines, a full duplex UART, eleven ADC inputs and sixteen multi-purpose GPIO pins

KEY FEATURES

The NC1701 chip has features that work offline (no need to connect to the cloud at all), others that require a one-time connection only, and others that require connectivity during the execution

OFF LINE FEATURES

Features that DO NOT require cloud connectivity include:

  • OEM Enhanced Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) reading
  • OBD-II Data Trouble Codes (DTC) reading
  • OBD-II Standard Parameters (PIDs) reading
  • OEM Enhanced Parameter (PIDs) reading using a Config File*
  • Advanced Ignition Status Sense
  • Advanced Low Power and Wake Up modes
  • Can manage different vehicle architectures (up to 5 CAN & 4 ISO transceivers)
  • Fully compatible with MECH5/X-LINK software
* This is only possible after a valid Config File for the specific vehicle has been downloaded from Nebula’s cloud, in a one-time operation
 – see Online Features opposite >>

VEHICLE COVERAGE

With a 25 year history of automotive data engineering behind us, we have built up some of the best OEM vehicle coverage to be found anywhere on the planet. Our MECH5 cloud and NC1701 chip cover more than 48 makes and 1200 unique models, to an OEM data access level. This list is constantly expanding on a daily basis.

EMBEDDING AND TALKING TO THE NC1701

  • All communications with the MECH5 cloud are encrypted, secure and done using APIs
  • Access to these APIs is only granted using unique Customer IDs and self-generated API Keys
  • Nebula Systems does not have access to these keys and cannot retrieve them.
  • Each Customer has a unique profile so that different APIs can be enabled or disabled for security or control purposes
