INTRODUCTION This document describes the PowerKey Pro (PKP) keypad s functionalility, default configuration and programmable parameters. KEYPAD FUNCTIONALITY The PowerKey Pro is a microcontroller based momentary contact keypad with LED illumination that can be interfaced to CAN and RS485 networks. Keypad contact closures are monitored by the microcontroller and their occurrence is transmitted on the CAN and/or RS485 interface. LED illumination states are received over the CAN and/or RS485 interface by the microcontroller, which then illuminates the LEDs accordingly. DEFAULT CONFIGURATION The PowerKey Pro keypad s default configuration is as follows: The keypad s amber LEDs flash instantenously at power-up The contact type is set to momentary The Green and Red indicator LEDs are set to OFF Back lighting is set to off The CAN source address is set to 0x21 The Keypad Identifier is set to 0x21 Periodic Status Transmission is disabled Event Status Transmission is enabled LED Acknowledgement is disabled Address Claim Transmission is disabled Demo Mode is disabled PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL Parameter group numbers (PGNs) and group functions are used to control/command the PowerKey Pro keypad. The following sections define the proprietary format used by Digital Switching Systems (DSS) for NMEA 2000 Addressable Proprietary Single Frame (SF) parameter group (PGN 61184), as well as the assigned group functions/commands. 05

Proprietary Single Frame Parameter Group PGN 61184 is defined by both J1939 and NMEA 2000. This parameter group number (PGN) is also known in J1939 as Proprietary A. DSS has defined this parameter group as a group function type of parameter group. A Group function parameter group uses an enumerated Group Function field to identify the purpose of the parameter group. Typically, the remaining fields in the parameter group following the group function field are defined specifically for that group function. The general format of the parameter group definition is shown below. DSS Proprietary SF Group Function (PGN 61184) (Based on NMEA 2000 Proprietary SF A General Message Format) This proprietary message is defined as a group function with a maximum available payload of 5 bytes # Field Name Size Description 1 Manufacturer Code 11 bits Field 1-3 make up the Definer Tag that ensures the definition of 2 Reserved 2 bits (each bit set to logical 1 ) 3 Industry Group 3 bits Marine = 4 4 Group Function 1 byte See Assigned Group Function Codes TBD TBD TBD Allocated/defined in accordance with group function code TBD TBD TBD (for a total of 5 bytes) The first three bytes of the parameter group are always encoded as shown in the following diagram. This diagram illustrates one aspect of CAN data transmissions that is frequently misunderstood. CAN data bytes are transmitted LSB first, and fields are defined according to the bit order defined by transmission. For fields that overlap byte boundaries, the higher order bits are mapped into the lower bits of the next byte before the next field is mapped / transmitted. As Transmitted 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 As Returned in Data Bytes Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 2 1 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 MSB LSB MSB LSB MSB LSB Manufacturer Code Reserved Industry Group Group Function On each receipt of the PGN 61184, the receiving keypad first tests to see if the Destination address in the CANId matches the keypad s own address, and to see if the Definer Tag in the first two data bytes matches the DSS manufacturer and industry code. The third byte of each frame is the group function byte used to determine the format and use of any remaining data bytes. 06

GROUP FUNCTION DEFINITIONS This section contains data format definitions for assigned group functions defined for the DSS Proprietary SF Parameter Group (PGN 61184). Field numbers may not directly map to byte positions. Unused bits and bytes are set to all 1 s (0xFF). Keypad Contact Status/Led Command (0x01) This group function is used to send contact status from or receive LED commands by a keypad. The group function is defined differently depending on whether it is sent from or received by a keypad ECU. Contact Status: Broadcast with Destination Address = 255 from a Source Address assigned to a keypad. LED Command: Addressed to a specific keypad Destination Address. # Byte # Field Name Size Description 4 2 Group Function 1 byte Keypad Contact Status/LED Command = 0x01 Remaining Field Defined Only When Transmitted From A Keypad ECU Source Address (Keypad Transmit) 5 3 Key Code/ID 1 byte Contact Identifier For Red LED Key Code = Key Number For Green LED Key Code = Key Number + n (where n = total number of keys on keypad) Example: PKP2400 has 8 keys, therefore n = 8. The Key Code for Key #3 is 0x03 for the Red LED And 0x0B for the Green LED. 6 4 Contact State 1 byte 0x00 = [Turn off, Disable, Reset] 0x01 = [Turn on, Enable, Set] 0x02 = [Blink RED] 7 5 Keypad Identifier 1-byte Valid range 0x21 to 0x2F 8 6 Contact Process Type 1-byte 0x01 = Momentary 07

CONFIGURATION TOOL COMMANDS The command used by the configuration tool has CAN message definitions different from previous allowing for more powerful commands. This is allowed due to the fact that the keypad is the only device connected on the CAN buss during setup and no other device will be effected by commands. This also allows room for future changes without effecting existing messages during normal operation. BASIC COMMAND STRUCTURE The basic commands consist of the command sent by the configuration software and the keypad responses with either acknowledge or requested data. Commands can be of multiple frames commands with data lengths that cannot fit into a single CAN message. 0x18EF1000 Byte Number CAN ID Used For Commands from the Configuration Software This indicates a message from the master configuration software (0x00) to the keypads command device (0x10) Description Command Message Data Descriptions 0 Command Byte allows up to 239 commands (0x10 0xFF) 1 Number of frames to follow.
