Mode for testing the charging system and assessing the capacity and quality of the batteryallows the user to determine the state of the battery charging system, as well as determine the quality of the battery itself by assessing the battery discharge parameters during a load test (low beam headlights). During the test, if the battery capacity is more than 10 A/hour, the battery capacity is estimated in Ampere/hours, and the potential quality of the battery is also assessed. Taking into account the measured average battery charging voltage in the vehicle, the user can assess the serviceability of the vehicle's battery charging system.

Radiator fan temperature correction mode allows the user in hot weather to turn on the radiator cooling fan at lower temperatures, in the range of 95 degrees and above, thereby ensuring more gentle engine operation and thereby reducing the likelihood of coolant boiling. It is also possible to force the engine fan to turn on, regardless of the temperature of the latter.

External device control output. Two independent programmable timers are designed to control the external device. The user can independently select the active control level “0” or “1”. Timers can be used to control the operation of preheaters such as “Teplostar”, “Webasto”, the operation of an air conditioner, etc. The “Mute” input of the radio can be connected to the control output of an external device to mute the sound of the radio while the device is transmitting sound or voice messages.

** Except ECU Bosch MP7.0

*** Attention: starting from version 12.04 and higher, the trip computer does not have the ability to set an identification code. Accordingly, the purpose of group 8 of “Settings Display 3” has been changed. Instead of the “Change code” group, a group is introduced to select the method for calculating the mileage forecast based on the remaining fuel in the tank: based on average fuel consumption per 100 km and based on average fuel consumption over the last 10 km.

For the correct functioning of the device, the device uses an algorithm for automatically determining the exchange protocol via the K-line. The user can use the mode of automatic detection of the exchange protocol, or use the manual mode; in this case, it is necessary to correctly specify the type of ECU with which the device should work via the K-line. According to settings MK Comfort X11, X10 organizes exchange via the K-line diagnostics. During periodic exchange, the MC requests a number of parameters from the ECU, which, after appropriate processing, are displayed on the device display. The use of an exchange protocol via the K-line diagnostics significantly expands the functionality of the MK. The user gets the opportunity to control a large number of diagnostic parameters, such as engine temperature, throttle position, mass air flow, voltage on the oxygen sensor, etc., and also gets the opportunity to dry the spark plugs and adjust the temperature at which the radiator fan turns on. The use of the K-line also implies the ability to read, decrypt and reset error codes. Measurement of voltage and external temperature in the mode of operation with the K-line diagnostics, however, is carried out directly by the MK itself (these parameters are not read from the K-line).

The user has the opportunity to independently select the parameters displayed on three different displays (USER DISPLAYS 1,2,3). The appearance of the User Display 4 (Day), Maintenance Display, and Settings Displays cannot be changed by the user.

The route parameters calculated by the device, as well as settings, corrections and user settings are stored in the non-volatile memory of the device after disconnecting from the power source (battery). However, completely disconnecting the device from the battery leads to resetting the current time.

20 seconds after turning off the ignition switch, MK Comfort X11, X10 turns off the display backlight, however, the indication of the parameters that are relevant when the ignition switch is turned off after pressing the device buttons is retained. In those display areas that contain parameters that have an undefined value when the ignition is turned off, for example: instantaneous fuel consumption, engine temperature, etc., zeros or dashes are displayed after the ignition switch is turned off. When the display backlight is turned off, the device consumes a current of no more than 0.03A from the battery.

User display 4"Day" allows you to observe the average travel parameters for one day, regardless of the general travel parameters that are relevant from reset to reset. In this case, the user can calculate the cost of the trip, depending on the entered values ​​of fuel cost, hourly mileage cost, and cost of 1 km of travel.

Mode for testing the charging system and assessing the capacity and quality of the battery allows the user to determine the state of the battery charging system, as well as determine the quality of the battery itself by assessing the battery discharge parameters during a load test (low beam headlights). During the test, if the battery capacity is more than 10 A/hour, the battery capacity is estimated in Ampere/hours, and the potential quality of the battery is also assessed. Taking into account the measured average battery charging voltage in the vehicle, the user can assess the serviceability of the vehicle's battery charging system.

Temperature correction mode turning on the radiator fan allows the user in hot weather to turn on the radiator cooling fan at lower temperatures, in the range of 95 degrees and above, thereby ensuring more gentle operation of the engine and thereby reducing the likelihood of coolant boiling. It is also possible to force the engine fan to turn on, regardless of the temperature of the latter.

External device control output. Two independent programmable timers are designed to control the external device. The user can independently select the active control level "0" or "1". Timers can be used to control the operation of preheaters such as "Teplostar", "Webasto", the operation of an air conditioner, etc. The "Mute" input of the radio can be connected to the control output of an external device to mute the sound of the radio while the device is transmitting sound or voice messages.

MK identification code. Used to prevent the possibility of operation of the MK by unauthorized persons, i.e. theft. If the code has never been changed after purchasing the device, then it is not requested when power is applied to the device. Otherwise, a code will be requested after power is applied. If it is entered incorrectly, the device will not function. Thus, stealing the device from inside the car becomes useless.

*** Attention: starting from version 12.04 and higher, the trip computer does not have the ability to set an identification code. The assignment of group 8 of "Setup Display 3" has been changed accordingly. Instead of the "Change code" group, a group is introduced to select the method for calculating the mileage forecast based on the remaining fuel in the tank: based on average fuel consumption per 100 km and based on average fuel consumption over the last 10 km.

For the correct functioning of the device, the device uses an algorithm for automatically determining the exchange protocol via the K-line. The user can use the mode of automatic detection of the exchange protocol, or use the manual mode; in this case, it is necessary to correctly specify the type of ECU with which the device should work via the K-line. In accordance with the settings of the Comfort X11, X10 MK, it organizes exchange via the K-line diagnostics. During periodic exchange, the MC requests a number of parameters from the ECU, which, after appropriate processing, are displayed on the device display. The use of an exchange protocol via the K-line diagnostics significantly expands the functionality of the MK. The user gets the opportunity to control a large number of diagnostic parameters, such as engine temperature, throttle position, mass air flow, voltage on the oxygen sensor, etc., and also gets the opportunity to dry the spark plugs and adjust the temperature at which the radiator fan turns on. The use of the K-line also implies the ability to read, decrypt and reset error codes. Measurement of voltage and external temperature in the mode of operation with the K-line diagnostics, however, is carried out directly by the MK itself (these parameters are not read from the K-line).
The user has the opportunity to independently select the parameters displayed on three different displays (USER DISPLAYS 1,2,3). The appearance of the User Display 4 (Day), Maintenance Display, and Settings Displays cannot be changed by the user.
The route parameters calculated by the device, as well as settings, corrections and user settings are stored in the non-volatile memory of the device after disconnecting from the power source (battery). However, completely disconnecting the device from the battery leads to resetting the current time.
20 seconds after turning off the ignition switch, the Comfort X11, X10 MK turns off the display backlight, however, the indication of the parameters that are relevant when the ignition switch is turned off after pressing the device buttons is retained. In those display areas that contain parameters that have an undefined value when the ignition is turned off, for example: instantaneous fuel consumption, engine temperature, etc., zeros or dashes are displayed after the ignition switch is turned off. When the display backlight is turned off, the device consumes a current of no more than 0.03A from the battery.

IT experts argue that the market for “smart” houses in Russia will never become widespread and in the next decade is unlikely to expand beyond elite housing in the Moscow region. In the future, possible consumers of the market will be a tiny part of the population with high incomes and in the regions, but for the general public, the “smart home” will remain a colorful picture on the pages of tabloids and Internet resources. Is this true? Already, the infrastructure of the average person’s home is a rather complex combination of various engineering systems. The X10 standard will help combine them into one network without global costs.

Possibilities of a "smart home"

The most common and simple function is lighting control. The intelligent system allows you to remotely control each lighting fixture. Without leaving your seat, you can turn on or off the lighting in any room or in the entire house at once, and adjust the brightness of the night lighting of the corridor and landscape lamps. A “smart home”, turning on lights in different places according to a certain algorithm, will scare away intruders by simulating the presence of the owners if they leave.

Automated control will maintain the specified temperature parameters in the room by controlling heating appliances or air conditioning and ventilation systems. An intelligent home can control security and fire equipment and, if emergency situations occur, send a notification to the owner’s phone or the relevant structures by voice or SMS message.

How it all began

X10 is one of the first open industry standards, developed for home automation systems by Pico Electronics (Scotland, Glenrothes) in 1975. Initially, the company was engaged in the design and production of microcircuits and microcalculators. The first experience of expanding the scope of production was very successful in commercial terms. The X10 platform quickly gained popularity among developers of the smart home concept and gave a tangible impetus to the development of this industry. Attempts to create a similar interface were made by other companies, but they were not particularly successful.

For its time, X10 was a protocol with good noise immunity. The popularity was facilitated by the comparative cheapness of the equipment, the developers’ focus on home automation, maintenance and technical support. On the North American continent, the standard is still in demand and widespread. Following the development company, the giant corporations IBM and Philips began to produce a wide range of X10-compatible devices.

Today, Pico Electronics has been transformed into X10 INC (USA) with the PowerHouse trademark.

Equipment classification

X10 networks are a collection of devices connected to each other via a standard electrical network or radio channel. The basic system must include:

• Transmitters - controllers that generate and send commands, control modules (with a computer interface or stand-alone), programmable timers with different time ranges, remote controls (infrared or radio).
• Receivers are actuators that execute received commands: lamp modules and cartridge dimmers, dimmer and socket blocks, all kinds of drives.

When building a larger network or expanding an existing one, auxiliary equipment is often used:

• Transceivers that receive command signals from remote controls with further conversion to the X10 communication protocol before being sent to the power grid.
• Repeaters and signal amplifiers.
• Filters that reduce the influence of electromagnetic interference.
• Interphase bridges, for 380 V electrical networks (passive or active, for buildings with an area of ​​over 300 m2).
• Measuring devices that simplify installation and sensors (motion, light, etc.).

Equipment produced by different companies often have similar appearance, functionality and even markings. The devices come in different designs depending on placement requirements; for in-line installation, on a DIN rail in standard electrical cabinets, micromodules for flush-mounted distribution boxes.
You can start home automation with a few basic modules, and then gradually increase the scale and expand the functionality by adding new hardware units.

Examples of element base

The basis for a typical X10 module is a programmable microcontroller. According to a certain algorithm, it controls the functioning of the device’s electronic circuit, which supplies generated signals received from an external power supply to its input and converts the output pulses for return transmission to the network. Commercially produced controllers (for example, PIC or AVR from Microchip and Atmel, respectively) can be used as microcomputers.

X10 lamp relay modules are widely used to control lighting in the smart home concept. There are two modifications: inserted into a regular socket for connecting floor lamps, table lamps (LM12) or made in the form of an adapter between the lighting socket and a standard light bulb with an E27 socket, with a power of up to 100 W (LM15S).

Household electrical appliances are controlled using appliance socket modules. For example, the AM12 module looks like a lamp module, but does not support commands specific to lighting (more on this below).

Software

Top-level software products will help you implement the X10 protocol on your computer.

ActiveHome Software is free software for personal computers based on WINDOWS operating systems from the company that developed the X10 platform. The package includes a huge number of utilities and device drivers, as well as a mobile version of the program.

ActiveHomePro - software for the SM-15 computer interface (radio transceiver, 433 MHz) with connection via a USB port. Allows you to control lighting and household appliances by setting the necessary algorithms, schedules and timers from a personal computer or autonomously from a wireless remote control.

X10 Commander (Melloware Inc) is freely distributed software for any OS, which allows you to create a multifunctional control service on a PC and integrate the X10 protocol on your phone and any mobile devices (iOS/Android).

The Russian Laboratory of Home Technologies LLC offers consumers a convenient device on the X10 platform - a full-color VGA touch panel XTS-36. The standalone device has a user-friendly graphical interface. X10 protocol control and control of the smart lighting system remains comfortable, with excellent visualization, but eliminates the need for the computer to constantly run in the background. The kit includes drivers and software for specifying the addressing of X10 devices and the basic parameters of the initial configuration, for creating various scenarios.

X10. Protocol in detail

The physical environment for information exchange in power electrical wires is the transmission/reception of fragments of high-frequency sinusoidal oscillations (120 KHz) with an amplitude of 5V and a duration of 1 ms/630 μs in each half-cycle of the mains voltage, in windows formed immediately after crossing the zero mark. In three-phase circuits, similar windows are formed in each phase, i.e., with a shift of 60 degrees with the further use of interphase bridges.

If the device receives a parcel in the reception window that contains at least 48 oscillations, it considers it as a logical “one”, in the opposite case - as a logical “zero”. Transmitting a bit of information takes two half-cycles of the mains voltage. Moreover, in the second, the inverse value is transmitted, which not only improves noise immunity, but also serves to identify the synchronization code during packet transmission.

X10 is a protocol in which a standard single packet (frame, frame) is transmitted over 11 periods. It contains:

• synchronization code - 2 bits,
• module code - 4 bits,
• building code - 5 bits.

Each packet, without any interval, is transmitted twice in a row. Before broadcasting the next packet take, a pause of 3 periods of mains voltage is maintained (with the exception of brightness dimming commands transmitted in a continuous stream).

IR control panels in X10 networks operate using the X10-IR protocol at a carrier frequency of 40 KHz. The radio channel (X10-RF protocol), depending on the region, has a range from 310 to 434 MHz.

Addressing and command system

The maximum number of modules in an X10 network is 256. Each module has two selector switches with 16 fixed positions.

The first switch, Home code, is used to select a category or group of devices. It has letter designations for positions from A to P. In the second, fixed positions are designated by numbers from 1 to 16 and indicate a specific module in the network (Unit code). Thus, each device is assigned a unique number consisting of a letter and numbers. For example; A5, M14, etc. System controllers, unlike executive modules, as a rule, do not require addressing settings.

An idea of ​​the existing platform commands and their corresponding actions can be obtained from the table.

Main advantages...

X10 is a low-budget protocol for home automation that uses existing power networks to transmit information and command messages. There is no need to lay new communications, which is especially important in houses with fine finishing or completed renovation work. You can either use network wiring or use a radio channel - the range of equipment offered by manufacturers allows you to implement both options or a combination of them. The cost of the devices, compared to more modern platforms, is also pleasantly pleasing.

The next advantage is flexibility of use and ease of installation, which does not require special skills. The system is characterized by excellent extensibility and scalability. The modules are connected according to the Plug & Power principles (turn on and control). The whole setup is to give the new component a unique address. Then the automation will do everything itself.

The division of lighting infrastructure into zones is greatly simplified. It is enough to assign the same letter (building code) to devices of the same group, and when the corresponding broadcast command is given, the lights in this zone will turn on or off.

The open protocol is another advantage of the platform, which allows for easy integration with any control system and the ability to use third-party electrical installation products when designing a network.

...and disadvantages

The main advantage of the X10 interface - the transmission of an information signal via power wiring - is also the main source of its problems.

Low speed. Transmitting a command takes about a second, i.e. the delay in command execution is really noticeable even when controlling one device. And in the process of working out the intended scenario, the delay can become annoyingly unacceptable. Since the information transmission speed is tied to the frequency of the supply voltage, it is not possible to increase it.

Low noise immunity. The abundance of household appliances in a modern home sharply increases the level of interference in the power network, negatively affecting the signal-to-noise ratio, which, in turn, affects the quality of information exchange between X10 modules. Hence the consequences - failure to execute commands or false switching. When building large networks, a problem may be the limited address field, since only 256 devices can connect to the X10 protocol.

Desynchronization of the transmitting equipment can lead to packet overlap and collisions, as a result of which none of the commands will be executed. The situation cannot be radically corrected.

There are no access control procedures and no protection against unauthorized actions of third parties. And finally, it is impossible to create complex control circuits for household appliances and lighting with the implementation of the self-diagnosis function of the system and its devices.

X10 modifications

The listed shortcomings are mostly corrected in the next generations of home automation systems of the so-called bus architecture (signals are transmitted via a specially dedicated/laid bus with a low-voltage supply voltage).

In turn, developers and manufacturers of X10 equipment took steps to improve and modify the existing platform. The result was the X10Extended format with an expanded The undoubted advantage of the modified platform was the regulation of the procedure for transmitters to access the highway, eliminating the occurrence of collisions and expanding the functions of the Exteded Code 1 command with a change in the packet format.

Further modification of X10Extended led to the creation of the A10 format, in which the address field was significantly expanded (up to 4096 modules) and several service functions were added (available only on devices manufactured by the developer). The A10 and X10 protocols are absolutely compatible, which makes it possible to operate both types of modules in the same system.

Summing up briefly, it is difficult not to agree that the first home automation interface has become morally outdated over the past almost fifty years. Attempts at modernization, reminiscent of patching a roof during the rainy season, are not able to radically improve the situation. But the platform’s budget characteristics still keep it on the intelligent systems market, and X10 equipment is actively being produced and sold.

Domestic companies predict a new wave of popularity for the interface. Consumers are offered a wide range of both individual devices and ready-made solutions for an “intelligent” home on the X10 platform.
