Andromeda EVIC Display

EVIC is a compact LCD color display with integrated CAN channel and digital and analog interfaces. EVIC can be configured to show a variety of data sets from battery management systems, motor controllers, chargers, and vehicle control units. EVIC includes the following features:

Mechanical Package

EVIC can be mounted onto a system using the 4 holes on the front bezel.
EVIC is packaged with automotive grade connectors.

General:

EVIC is equipped with the following 3 interface connectors as shown below.

J1- 20-pin Main Connector - Power, CAN and Digital Inputs
Housing: Molex part number 31408-1200
Terminals: Molex part number 1393366-1

J2 & J3 - 12-pin Secondary Connectors - J2 Analog Inputs and J3 Digital Outputs
Housing: Molex part number 31408-1120
Terminals: Molex part number 1393367-1                               

J4 - Mini-B USB Connector - Programming cable used for SIK
The cable is provided with the purchase of EVIC.

EVIC is equipped with 8 digital inputs that can determine input states from switches or buttons. Digital inputs 1 through 7 are triggered by sourcing +12V. Digital input 8 is triggered by sinking to GND.

DIN 1 - 7                                                    DIN 8

If you have not correctly mapped the digital inputs to skin graphic labels or images, then nothing will occur when switching these pins.

EVIC is equipped with 8 digital outputs that are low-side switches. They are designed for a variety of applications including LEDs, external relays or buzzers.

EVIC is equipped with 5 analog inputs (1 on the main connector, 4 on the analog input connector) at 12-bit resolution. They can be used to read measurements from many sensors such as temperature, potentiometer or brake transducers. There are reference 5V and ground outputs provided on the analog input connector to supply power to sensors if necessary.

AIN 1 - 5

EVIC can operate as a single node or as a multi-node on the CAN bus network.

EVIC can be configured as either terminated or non-terminated on the network. EVIC is shipped terminated. You can un-terminate by taking apart EVIC's back cover and removing an internal jumper (P2) on the board.

EVIC is configured by default at 250 kbps baud rate. EVIC's configurable baud rates are 125, 250, 500 or 1000 kbps.

Note: If data does not appear or is displayed intermittently, please verify CAN baud rates are set correctly for all components on the network.

EVIC decodes CAN bus data into human-readable form and displays it onto the HMI screen. EVIC is a standalone display device and is configurable with our Studio Interface Kit.

EVIC uses the following 3 Molex connectors and crimp terminals: 

You can purchase these separately through Digi-key or Mouser, or request for them when you place your order.

This universal crimper tool can be used for the terminals.

To get started, wire Pins 1 and 3 (VBAT) to +12V or +24V and Pin 2 (GND) to Ground. Once power is applied, the default splash screen will be displayed and will transition to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) application.

The default splash screen is configurable. To replace the default splash screen image, Andromeda's Flasher Tool is available to make this change. 

Graphical User Interfaces

The start-up GUIs will appear as shown below. These GUIs are configurable through our Studio Interface Kit (SIK).
