Documentation for inMOTION NGX Modules

/0 Comments/in /by

Our inMOTION NGX revolutionizes the way your wire your door functions in your restoration, street rod, kit car, hot rod, restomod or Pro-Touring build.  Instead of running large bundles of wires through the door hinge, we reduce that down to 4 simple wires.  inMOTION NGX is the next generation of door control modules.  In one box, you can easily wire your power locks and windows with much less wire running to the door than traditional wiring harnesses.  You simply mount the inMOTION NGX module in your door and you get local control with less wire.  You need to simply run power, ground and our two CAN wires through the hinge of the door.  This blog is going to walk through the manual and the configuration sheet for inMOTION NGX.

Since you have one inMOTION NGX module per door, you can easily scale your car or truck build by adding as many as you need.  The modules communicate with each other using a J1939 network.  That means you can easily get central locking from all the doors.  You can also control passenger windows from the driver’s door.  You get late-model conveniences in your classic car or truck.

inMOTION NGX is designed to control your power lock actuator and power window motor from inside the door.  We use special polarity reversing relays to control these features from any switch.  We also build 4 outputs into the inMOTION NGX module for local control of switch indicators, interior lights, accent lighting, puddle lights or other features.

This link will take you to the manual for our inMOTION NGX kit.  This document takes you through the process of wiring your doors with inMOTION NGX.  It describes how inMOTION NGX works, talks about how to properly mount it in your door, details wiring the switches and loads to the module and gives you a check list for each step.

There is a configuration sheet specific to inMOTION NGX.  This sheet details which input wires connect to your switches and which output wires connect to your loads.  It also shows how the different inMOTION NGX modules interact with each other and the other parts of the Infinitybox IPM1 kit.  You can download the standard configuration sheet by clicking this link.

Wiring Russ Thompson Turn Signal System

/0 Comments/in /by

Russ Thompson has been making high-quality turn signal assemblies for the full range of Factory Five Cars.  We have been getting a lot of requests for a wiring diagram to show you how to connect his turn-signal switch to our new Infinitybox IPM1 kit.  This blog post will get you those details.  Please note that this post details the wiring using our Next Generation System.  Please click here if you have one of our Legacy Infinitybox systems.

Russ Thompson made high-quality turn signal stalk assemblies for the Factory Five Roadster, Type 63 and the GTM.  You can learn more about his products at this link.

The new Infinitybox IPM1 kit includes the next generation of our MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs.  These products include numerous refinements and enhancements that our customers have requested.  You can learn more about the IPM1 kit at this link.  Turn signals and 4-way flashers have always been easy to wire with the Infinitybox system.  The addition of indicator outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX make this even easier.

The Infinitybox manages all the required functions for turn signals and 4-ways.  The MASTERCELL handles the patterns internally so you do not need a flasher relay.  You simply ground the inputs for the left and right turn signals to make them work.  We manage the rest for you.  The distributed architecture of the system makes running the wire through your car easy.  You have a POWERCELL output module in the front of your car and one in the rear.  Each of these POWERCELLs has outputs for turn signals.  That means that you are running the front turn signals from the front POWERCELL and the rear signals from the rear.  All of your wire is run locally.  This minimizes the total amount of wire needed in the car.

We also manage the 4-ways or hazards internally.  The MASTERCELL generates the pattern so no external flasher is required.  When you ground the input for the 4-ways, the MASTERCELL tells the front & rear POWERCELLs to flash all the turn signals together.

Wiring the turn signal switch and the hazard switch is very easy with the Infinitybox IPM1 kit.  You simply connect the left turn, right turn and 4-way inputs from the MASTERCELL to the switches in the Russ Thompson turn signal stalk.  Instead of connecting the other side of the switch to a flasher, you connect it to ground.  When you turn on a switch, that pulls the MASTERCELL input to ground, which triggers its function.  The following diagram shows how to connect the inputs to the stalk switches.

The wire colors for your MASTERCELL inputs are defined in the configuration sheet that came with your kit.  Click on this link to get to our standard front-engine configuration.

For the turn signal wires from the stalk, the black-red wire should connect to ground.  The red-white wire connects to the MASTERCELL input for your left turn signal and the red-yellow wire connects to the input for the right turn signal.

There is another great feature included with our MASTERCELL NGX.  In addition to the inputs, the MASTERCELL NGX has outputs to locally power things like indicators.  Since your MASTERCELL is located close to your switches, it is very easy to run these indicator wires to the indicator lights on your dash for your turn signals and indicators.  When the MASTERCELL is telling the POWERCELLs to flash the turn signals, it is also flashing the indicators.  See the wiring diagram above for details on wiring you dash indicators.

The last feature in the Russ Thompson kit is the button at the end of the turn signal stalk.  This is a momentary button intended to be used to control the high-beams.  With a typical wiring set up, you would need a separate relay or high-beam module to manage this.  With the Infinitybox IPM1 kit, you can control your high-beams from this momentary button internally.  Our high-beam input can be set to toggle the high-beams on and off.  See the diagram above to show how to wire this input to the switch in the Russ Thompson kit.  Both the wires for the button on the Russ Thompson harness are black.  Connect one to ground and the other to the MASTERCELL input for the high-beams.

You can also use this button to control the horn if you want.  Instead of the high-beam input, connect the horn input.  See you configuration sheet for details.

NGX Configuration Sheet- POWERCELL Outputs

/0 Comments/in /by

We have completely re-engineered our Infinitybox system to bring the latest in wiring and body control technology to anyone wiring a hot rod, street rod, resto-mod, kit car, race car or Pro-Touring build.  We have also re-engineered the NGX configuration sheet for this system.  This new configuration sheet format makes it easier to read, gives more detail and gives all of the wire colors needed to connect to your switches and your accessories in your car or truck.  This is the standard configuration that comes loaded on all new IPM1 kits.  With our inCODE NGX programming tool, you can modify this configuration to meet the needs of your unique project.

This link will take you to the Front Engine configuration for our IPM1 kit.  Watch the resources section of our website for other setups including the Rear Engine configuration.  This blog post will walk through the details for the POWERCELL output assignments and the outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX.  Watch out blog for details on the inMOTION NGX inputs and outputs.

To start, the configuration sheet is broken down into the different cells in the Infinitybox NGX system.  This includes the front & rear POWERCELLs and the different inMOTION NGX cells for the doors (driver, passenger, driver rear & passenger rear).  Our IPM1 kit comes standard with one MASTERCELL NGX and two of our POWERCELL NGXs.  You can add as many inMOTION NGX door modules as you need for your car or truck.  Most customers will add 2 or 4 inMOTION MGX modules to their system as accessories depending on if they are working on a 2 or 4 door car.  Since the MASTERCELL NGX has low-current outputs to drive indicators on the dash, we added a page that details the wiring for these.  Lastly, we added pages that detail all the wires in the MASTERCELL A & B connector harnesses.

For the front & rear POWERCELL pages, we’ve reorganized the columns to make this easier to read.  The first column lists the function assigned to each POWERCELL output.  This includes things like turn signals, ignition, starter solenoid, lights, cooling fans and fuel pumps.  Any output that is labeled as OPEN is an auxiliary.  There is no set function assigned to the output.  Its corresponding input will turn it on and off.

The next column gives the address of the POWERCELL.  By default, the front POWERCELL is addressed as 1 and the rear POWERCELL is addressed as 2.

The next column lists the POWERCELL output by number for the function.  There are 10 outputs on a POWERCELL and they are listed in numerical order.  Some functions list multiple outputs.  Examples include the 4-ways and the One-Button Start.  In these cases, the function uses two different outputs.  The 4-ways use the left and right turn signal outputs.  The One-Button Start function uses the outputs for both the ignition and starter.

The next column gives you the POWERCELL output connector that the output is connected to.  The manual for your IPM1 kit has a diagram that identifies the A & B output connectors on the POWERCELL.  Please pay attention to this diagram carefully.  The A & B connectors are interchangeable on the POWERCELL.

The next column defines the “personality” assigned to the POWERCELL output and its corresponding input.  The personality is how the output behaves when it is turned on.  The most basic and common personality is “track”.  Outputs assigned the track personality turn on when the input is turned on and turn off when the input is turned off.  The input tracks the state of its input.  You can learn more about the other available personalities by clicking this link.

The next column lists the wire color for each output on the POWERCELL output harness.  Please note that the output harness colors for the outputs are the same for the front and rear POWERCELLs.  Pay attention to the POWERCELL address to make sure you are connecting to the right output.

The last three columns tell you the details for the MASTERCELL inputs that are controlling each POWERCELL output.  The input number, the MASTERCELL connector (A or B) and the wire color are listed.

After the POWERCELL details, the next page details the low-current outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX.  These outputs give you easy access to low-current outputs to drive indicators on your dash.  There are 8 of these outputs.  The first 4 are assigned to the left-turn signal indicator, the right-turn signal indicator, the high-beam indicator and the illumination for your gauges.  The next 4 are auxiliary outputs and can be set up as an advanced feature of the MASTERCELL NGX.  Contact our tech support team for details.
