Control Display: Notes
The Control Display consists of:
A 16-bit processor is responsible for communication (gateway function) between the MOST and K-CAN SYSTEM bus systems, it also performs the tasks of diagnosis processing and illumination dimming.
A 32-bit processor with 16 MB of RAM and a 16 MB graphics memory is responsible for display output and user guidance.
The Control Display is equipped with a Flash memory module. This means that software can be downloaded/updated via the diagnosis interface at any time.
The text and character sets for the language-specific elements of the user interface (country coded) are stored in the Flash memory.
The size of the LCD display is 8.8 inches (diagonal). The complete Control Display assembly is attached to the dashboard by three screws. The LCD display plus the hood and glass cover are removable, this means that if the glass cover becomes scratched the LCD display and hood can be replaced separately.
The LCD display plus hood clips onto the metal casing. A special tool is required to separate the two components. Internally, the LCD display is connected to the electronic module by a ribbon cable.
On the rear of the metal casing there are cooling fins. Next to them is a 5-amp fuse, this protects the Control Display against damage from excessive current.
