GOcontroll Moduline Display I.
The Moduline Display I is our Human Machine Interface (HMI) modular embedded controller offering up to 2 IO modules and various communication interfaces. The controller is powered by a powerful application processor from NXP, offering high performance processing and a broad spectrum of peripheral interfaces. The application processor used in this controller is different from the ones used in the Moduline IV and Moduline Mini I, being more focussed on graphics, better suited for this controller. The robust enclosure offers IP67 protection and is equipped with a pressure equilibrium/vent plug to reduce the risk of condensation buildup from moisture in the air. It also protects the electronics inside from impacts and other influences the harsh environment of automotive applications may provide.
The Moduline family runs on Linux which allows various software options such as MATLAB/Simulink and Node-RED. These software tools utilize visual programming which significantly speeds up algorithm development.
The flexible hardware design of the Moduline family allows for complex and/or unusual controller configurations. The hardware itself is designed to withstand the harsch conditions of automotive applications.

Controller connections.
The Moduline Display I HMI controller is equipped with one 26 position automotive IO connector, two M12 connectors and one SMA connector.
The main automotive IO connector provide not only up to 20 IO’s, but also 2 CAN bus interfaces, the power supply and one enable input. This enable input will boot the controller when pulled high. If a low enable input is detected in software, the user can finish some routines/controls before shutting down the controller. The enable pin is only for switching on the controller. The supply for the controller comes from the K30 connection.
| Pin | Function | Description | Pin | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | K30 | Controller Supply | 9 | K15a | Contact 1 (active high) |
| 16 | CAN1 Low | CAN low line | 17 | CAN1 High | CAN high line |
| 24 | CAN2 Low | CAN low line | 25 | CAN2 High | CAN high line |
| 33 | K31 | Controller Ground | 34 | K31 | Controller Ground |

Controller supply and maximum ratings.
The controller is supplied through the main automotive connector. This supply is only used to power the controller. Output modules are supplied separately from the controller. This means that each output module can drive a maximum of 15 Ampère and (when preferred) have a different working voltage than the controller itself. Check the datasheet from the Output Module for more information.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (K30) | 8 – 32 VDC |
| Contact voltage (K15) | 8 – 32 VDC |
| Nominal current consumption when controller is active (no modules installed) | 310 mA @ 12 VDC – 200 mA @ 24 VDC |
| Current consumption when switched off (K15’s low) | < 1 mA |
| Load dump protection | Designed according ISO7637-2 5a/5b |
