NC1701 provides OEM VIN reading capability. This means you now have the potential to read VINs when not available through standard OBDII requests.
When connected to the MECH5 cloud platform, NC1701 can be configured to read OEM specific parameters from any ECU (i.e. Fuel level, Seat belt status, TPMS information, Service information, etc.)
If a VIN is not available, then NC1701 can read specific OEM data from various ECUs to create a unique vehicle identifier. The benefit of creating such a unique ID is that you can determine if the device is still connected to the same vehicle (when the VIN is not available).
Full OEM Data Trouble Codes reading across all ECUs in the vehicle. NC1701 provides OEM trouble codes, and MECH5 APIs can be used for code translation.
NC1701 overcomes many ignition detection issues faced when using an OBD Dongle. By using MECH5 to provide configuration it is able to read Ignition status from multiple sources providing further options for Virtual
Ignition Detection.
The NC1701 firmware can be updated whilst still in use in normal operation mode. Once the download procedure has finished (and it’s safe for the host to do so), the switching to the new firmware takes less than 250 ms making the downtime very short.
The NC1701 has been designed with security in mind.
It doesn’t require a direct communications channel with the MECH5 APIs and relies on the Host to communicate on its behalf. Communication between the Host and the MECH5 APIs is done via a secure channel (HTTPS).
All communications between the NC1701 and the MECH5 APIs (upgrading firmware, downloading configuration files, etc.) are encrypted using enterprise-grade encryption.
Once the NC1701 has established a secure connection to the MECH5 platform it can be fully utilised for Remote Vehicle Diagnostics (this mode of operation will only work when vehicle is stationary) whether using an API into your own backend solution or via direct access to the MECH5 Web App where you can perform technician level diagnostics.
Layered security prevents any unauthorised access to the vehicle OBD by embedding encrypted scripts within the NC1701 itself upon configuration, thereby preventing any OBD hacking.
NC1701 is fully compatible with OBD2 Standard Protocols.
NC1701 is capable of handling multiple CAN buses and ISO lines, making it compatible with more vehicle models and ECUs than standard offerings.
NOTE: The NC1701 needs to be embedded using the suggested reference design for some of these features to work properly.
NC1701 has the ability to detect if a 3rd party device is using the CAN bus to connect to any ECU in the car and automatically back off when this occurs.
NC1701 can be configured to enter “power saving mode” and can “wake up” using different sources:
• Battery voltage change
• CAN bus activity
• Advanced ignition sense signal
