 1. General description

• Type XDi 96, XDi 144, XDi 192

• Dual, Multi and Nav variants
• Store all your indicators in one single XDi
• Class approvals

1.1 New technology

The XDi product range represents a completely new way of thinking illuminated bridge indicators. The XDi range has
inherited all the well-known DEIF qualities in the XL product line and brings them to the next level! With two CAN bus ports
as standard and extension modules for analogue, digital or serial data interface, the XDi series offers a very high degree of
installation flexibility.

The XDi-net plug and play protocol built on top of CANopen makes it very easy to utilise the CAN bus interfaces for sharing
external dimmer and indicator data between XDi indicators in a system.

The use of predefined setup profiles (PP and VS) reduce the installation complexity to a few selections,guided by a wizard,
in the normal installation and commissioning situation.

The unique XDi base master functions allow for a very advanced system integration with fully automated indicator selection
and configuration via the CAN bus. The automated configuration can even be extended to support automatic configuration
of a service XDi unit from a central CAN controller in the system.

A high quality display replaces the mechanical scale and pointer combination. Multiple indicators are stored in the memory
of the XDi and can be selected, adjusted and locked during installation.

The XDi is delivered with a preinstalled indicator library containing a selection of virtual indicators and setup profiles.

DEIF provides a number of free standard libraries for different applications and offers a customisation service to adapt the
XDi virtual indicators to fit your graphical design line and special application needs.

Please download the technical document: “XDi-Standard virtual indicator library 4189350067 UK” to get the updated
information of available standard libraries and customisation possibilities.

Standard libraries or your own customised libraries are available for download from a DEIF server and can be uploaded to a
new library using the USB service port.

The XDi series is type-approved for marine bridge applications and MED-certified (wheel-marked).

Approvals and certificates are available on [Link].

To secure compliance with relevant standards and obtained approvals, customisation of indicators can only be made by
DEIF.

1.2 Compatibility
This flexibility is not only heading forward. As always, DEIF strives to make long-lasting solutions for our customers. The
new XDi range can easily be integrated with our current XL range.

For outdoor applications in an XDi system,the very robust BRW-2 indicator is recommended. If space is limited, BW144 or
BW192 can also be used and for outdoor panel mounting,a standard XL with IP66 option is recommended.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 4 of 30

Wind measuring systems
The XDi-N Navigation version with preinstalled standard wind indicator library and the NX2 NMEA extension module is fully
compatible with all DEIF wind sensors of type [Link]-N is not compatible with the rather old DEIF 879 type mechanical
wind sensor.

This XDi-N wind configuration will also work well with other manufacturer’s wind sensors using the standard NMEA0183
interface (IEC 61162-1).

An XDi-N configured as wind indicator can replace the WSDI-2, but be aware that the physical dimensions and panel cut-
out are quite different.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 5 of 30

 2. Products and variants

2.1 Product range

The XDi product range consists of three performance versions optimised to offer the best price/performance ratio.

These are listed below and can be seen in the table:

• XDi Dual - can handle one or two data inputs and indicators with single or dual indication.
• XDi Multi - can handle up to 12 inputs dependent on the indicator design and application.
• XDi Nav - is the top model, handles multi-inputs and has a number of special functions for navigation data presentation.

XDi 96 Dual XDi 144 Dual XDi 192 Dual

XDi 96 Multi XDi 144 Multi XDi 192 Multi

XDi 96 Nav XDi 144 Nav XDi 192 Nav

NOTE XDi Single indication is supported by the dual version.

2.2 XDi features

Compared to traditional illuminated indicators, the XDi series offers very high accuracy and a number of new features.

The following features can be designed into any XDi virtual indicator:
• Present one or multiple data types on one virtual indicator screen
• Present one or more headlines, for ex. starboard rudder (select from list or write a new)
• Analogue pointer or bar graph indication
• Support for two pointers respectively actual and set point (commanded) data

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 6 of 30

• Combine analogue and digital data presentation
• Present critical band on the indicator scale, configurable from the installation menu
• Make colour change of pointer, bar or digital figures when data value is entering a critical band
• 3-level dynamic graphical pointer, for example azimuth pointer with thrust direction indication
• Graphical design for optimal day/night view or even day/dusk/night view in customised indicators
• XDi-net input for easy plug and play system integration and configuration (CAN1, CAN2 or both)
• Configurable CANopen TPDO or RPDO input (CAN1, CAN2 or both)
• CANopen multiplexed PDO (DAM-MPDO) input
• Configurable analogue voltage, current or potentiometer inputs (requires AX1 extension module)
• Configurable input for direct connection of one or two RPM pickups (requires DX1 extension module)
• Output-scaled analogue or digital input data via XDi-net (or CANopen TPDO/RPDO)
• Relay output when data value enters a critical band (requires DX1 extension module)
• Output of indicator data as NMEA0183serial data (IEC 61162-1) for VDR interfacing

The listed indicator features must be designed in the virtual indicator to be available and functioning.

The implementation of features depends on the XDi performance class, the type of virtual indicator and the intended
system application.

The input and output features with default parameters are predefined in the virtual indicator setup profile (VS).

For each indicator, up to 50 different VS profiles can be created, each handling a predefined input/output configuration.

To learn more, please download: “XDi designers handbook 4189350049 UK” and “XDi-net CANopen reference manual
4189350066 UK” from [Link].

The XDi-N Navigation version offers the following features in addition:

• Supports presentation of special navigation data types like: heading, GPS position, time and WP information and
standard data like depth, speed, rate of turn, bearing, wind speed and direction
• Special analogue heading indicators
• Indicator design with up to 4 predefined mode screens in one virtual indicator
• System-wide indicator mode control using up to 9 configurable mode groups
• Supports virtual indicators with selectable data units controlled by the active unit profile
• Three configurable unit profiles
• Local or system wide unit profile shift
• Mode and unit profile shift via XDi-net or CANopen TPDO or RPDO
• Support indicator with the data source fall-back function implemented. If primary source fails, the secondary source
takes over.
• Push-buttons on the front for easy operation (optional: without buttons for ex. in overhead panels)
• NMEA serial data input for indicators (requires NX2 extension module)
• Semi-automatic or manual NMEA interface setup (requires NX2 extension module)
• Internal calculation of true wind relative to ship and true wind geographic (relative to north)
• Internal calculation of magnetic or true heading, course or bearing (magnetic variation required)

Details about the special XDi-N functions can be found in the XDi designers handbook.

Dimmer and day/night function

For marine bridge application, the ability to dim the backlight is very important.

The XDi series supports a number of ways to dim the display backlight and control the day/night (day/dusk/night) shift. The
dimming type and default parameter settings are predefined in a Product Profile (PP).

Dimmer control functions that can be used in a product profile:

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 7 of 30

• CAN bus using XDi-net protocol (CAN1, CAN2 or both)
• CAN bus using CANopen TPDO or RPDO
• CAN bus using CANopen multiplexed PDO (DAM-MPDO)
• Front buttons up, down with repeat (requires front button kit for XDi-D and -M)
• Fixed dimmer level (often used in engine control room)
• Analogue dimmer input either voltage or potentiometer (requires AX1 extension module)
• External push-button input – up, down with repeat (requires DX1, NX1or NX2 extension module)
• NMEA serial data input (requires NX2 extension module)

Indicator day/night or day/dusk/night colour shift functions that can be used in a product profile:

• Automatic day/night (day/dusk/night) shift at a given dimmer level, for example shift to night colour when the dimmer
level is set below 70%.
• Fixed colour (either day or night (or dusk))
• Controlled via CAN bus using XDi-net protocol (CAN1, CAN2 or both)
• Controlled via CAN bus using CANopen TPDO or RPDO
• Controlled via CAN bus using CANopen multiplexed PDO (DAM-MPDO)
• Front button –double-push on dimmer buttons to toggle colour(see dimmer control above)
• External push-button input – up, down with repeat (requires DX1, NX1 or NX2 extension module)
• NMEA serial data input(requires NX2 extension module)

An XDi virtual indicator library may contain up to 50 Product Profiles (PP) with predefined dimmer and colour shift settings
in addition to default communication setup and other product-related settings.

Remote control
Any XDi on the CAN bus can be setup and remote-controlled via CANopen SDO communication.

Dimmer level, day/(dusk)/night colour,unit profile shift and mode shift can also be controlled using simple XDi-net
commands.

Remote operation of XDi is also possible using eternal push-buttons connected to the contact input on a NX1 or NX2
extension module (digital inputs on DX1 may also be used). The external push-buttons can be configured to act as if they
were connected in parallel with either front button 2 or 3, making remote push-button dimming available or front button 1
and 4 that will allow indicator mode toggle and opening of the user menu. If 4 external push-buttons are connected to the
XDi, a full external push-button operation is obtained.

2.3 XDi in marine applications

During installation, a pre-defined virtual indicator is selected from the installed XDi virtual indicator library.

At power up, the XDi will present a setup wizard guiding you through the first time setup, step by step.

The wizard contains the following steps:

1. Select CAN node ID; all units must be assigned a unique ID.
2. Select a Product Profile (PP) that contains the CAN system settings and the default dimmer settings.
3. Select the Virtual Indicator (VI)
4. Select the VI-setup profile (VS) defining the input/output configuration for the selected indicator.
5. Finalise setup or enter a menu to make adjustments.

When the installation is completed, the XDi will act as a fixed illuminated indicator, presenting one or more working
parameters of the ship's mechanisms and devices. These are parameters such as: rudder angle, RPM and pitch of a
controllable pitch propeller, RPM and direction of rotation and fixed propeller, engine RPM, azimuth angle, rate of turn,
propulsion system load, power consumption, temperature, pressure, speed and fuel consumption.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 8 of 30

All XDi versions can also present standard navigation data like heading angle, bearing, distance, depth, speed, rate of turn,
wind speed and angle or direction and more.

In addition, the XDi-N supports in addition presentation of special navigation data types like: GPS position, date, time and
WP information.

2.3.1 XDi as universal spare part

Bringing along traditional indicators as spare parts does not make much sense, but with XDi and the possibility to have all
indicators stored in one library, it starts to make sense. With XDi, one indicator of each physical size used on board can
replace any of the installed indicators. If the XDi is fully integrated in a system where the CAN controller utilises the XDi
base master functions, a fully automated setup can be achieved after replacement.

2.3.2 End of life, disposal of XDi

This equipment is not to be disposed of in normal waste. It is to be handled in accordance with applicable waste disposal
regulations in the country where the equipment is used.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 9 of 30

 3. Options and accessories

3.1 Availaible options

This chapter describes the available options that can be ordered together with the XDi main unit.

If nothing else is mentioned in the option description, the option will also be available as an accessory that can be ordered
separately.

3.2 Snap-on extension modules

The options are add-on functionality to the basic standard unit. The standard double CAN interface can be extended by
analogue, digital or NMEA input/outputs by adding one or two extension modules.

The XDi 96 has one extension slot, and the XDi 144 and XDi 192 have two slots.

The selected product profile (PP) or virtual indicator setup profile (VS) must support the attached extension module for it to
work. The default configuration of inputs and outputs can be changed and adjusted via the XDi menu system.

XDi with two extension modules mounted

3.2.1 AX1 analogue input module

The AX1 module contains two separate configurable inputs and a third voltage input often used as analogue dimmer input.

The two standard inputs can be configured as current, voltage or potentiometer inputs, either as two stand-alone inputs or
as an input pair for SIN/COS potentiometer.

The module provides a reference voltage output that may be used as supply voltage for a potentiometer.

When a voltage input is configured as a potentiometer input using the reference voltage outputas supply, the XDi
automatically measures the reference voltage and compensates for fluctuations. This function can even work with an
external reference voltage overwriting the reference voltage, for example a 24 V supply in a 3-wire solution.

The measured data values from the analogue inputs can be shared on XDi-Net or standard CANopen for other indicators to
use.

3.2.2 DX1 digital I/O module

The module contains two separate digital inputs and two relay outputs.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 10 of 30

A predefined function for this module is RPM measurements by connecting one or two inductive pickup sensors (or similar
pulse sensors), the calculation of RPM will be made either direction-independent (one sensor) or direction-dependent (two
sensors).

The digital inputs can also be configured as an external push-button interface for dimmer control.

In customised libraries, the digital inputs can be configured for other applications like frequency or simple on/off detection.

The relay output makes it possible to define two outputs from the indicator, triggered by the selected indicator.

3.2.3 NX1 NMEA output extension module

The module contains one serial data output compliant with NMEA0183 (IEC61162-1).

The data shown on the XDi dual or multi indicator can be transmitted in standard NMEA format to the ship’s VDR or
integrated navigation system.

DEIF standard libraries support the NX1 module where it is relevant.

The NX module has 2 contact inputs with internal pull-up resistors suitable for connection of 2 external push-buttons. In the
standard XDi, they can be used for external push-button dimmer.

In the navigation version, the contact inputs can be configured for either dimmer control (same function as front push-
button 2 and 3) or toggle VI mode/quick menu operation (same function as front push-button 1 and 4).

3.2.4 NX2 NMEA communication extension module

The NX2 module contains two standard opto-insulated NMEA0183 inputs and one standard NMEA0183 output (all
according to IEC61162-1).

One RS-485 serial port configurable as input or output that uses NMEA0183 data format. DEIF wind sensors must be
connected to this port. Remember to activate the 120 Ω termination.

Also this NX module has 2 contact inputs with the same function as described above.

The NX2 module is fully supported by the XDi-N version. Limited NMEA input functionality may be available for special
customised applications.

3.3 Watertight IP66 front option (only as option)

The XDi may be ordered with the IP66 option pre-installed, in which case it can be mounted in a panel and be protected
from front to IP class 66.

Please note that the XDi is however not intended for outdoor use.

3.4 Dual 5-pole terminal connectors

Dual terminal connectors are an alternative type of plug, for the two CAN/supply ports, where each connector has two
separate cable entries; this option makes it easy to daisy-chain multiple indicators on the same CAN bus.

Dual terminals can be ordered with either screw terminals or spring terminals.

3.5 Front frame without buttons

Standard front frame mounted as standard on the XDi Dual and Multi versions.

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 11 of 30

If you want to have your XDi product branded on the front, a small batch of front frames can be ordered as accessory and
you can have your logo printed locally – this is often the most cost-effective solution.

The XDi Navigation version comes with 4 push-buttons on the front as standard, but if buttons are not needed or maybe
not desirable, the Navigation version can be ordered without the front buttons.

3.6 Front frame with 4 buttons (accessory only)

The XDi Navigation version comes with 4 push-buttons on the front as standard.

If the XDi Dual or Multi is set up to use front button dimming, the kit containing the front frame with 4 push-buttons can be
ordered as accessory.

Logo printing as mentioned above is of cause also possible using this front frame version.

When a linear potentiometer is used as source for a HV input, the internal input resistance (112.5 kΩ)
Potentiometer will affect the linearity of the measurement.

>= 1 kΩ.
Vref The voltage on the Vref terminal is continuously measured by the built-in ADC and in Vref mode, a HV
Reference voltage input will be automatically scaled relative to the measured Vref.
output/input The Vref voltage can be overwritten by an external voltage in the range 8 to 30 V DC and the auto
scaling will still work and even compensate for voltage fluctuations.

The virtual indicator setup profile (VS) for the analogue inputs are typically created with 2- or 3-point
Analogue linearisation. This makes it possible to compensate for internal and external inaccuracies in the
calibration analogue system.

4.6 Lifetime and backlight intensity

The XDi product line is designed for long operational lifetime.

The LCD and LED backlight are the long-life type made for demanding industry applications, but despite that, the backlight
level will decay over time. The decay rate depends on the average backlight level used during operation.

If the backlight is at maximum all the time, the backlight level is reduced to not less than 50 % after 4½ years at an average
indoor temperature of 20oC.

By reducing the backlight level to 90 %, the decay to 50 % backlight level will not appear until after more than 6 years.

Therefore, it is recommended to adjust the backlight level to the lowest acceptable level for the actual use of the indicator.

To illustrate this, the following examples can be considered:

Data sheet 4921250067G EN Page 18 of 30

• The XDi is used below deck in the engine control room with a fixed backlight level. Reducing the backlight level from 100
% to a fixed 70 % level will increase the 50 % decay time to more than 10 years.
• During normal operation on the bridge, where the indicator is used with full backlight during daytime (8 hours) and then
dimmed down during dawn and dusk (8 hours) and even further during night (8 hours), the 50 % decay time will be
extended to more than 9 years.

Since the backlight level may vary slightly from unit to unit and since it will decay over time, it is made possible to adjust the
actual backlight range for each XDi unit.

By using this feature, it is possible to make all XDi units located next to each other appear to have equal backlight level,
even if it is a new service unit in an old installation.

This feature may also be used to adapt the XDi backlight level to other manufacturers' displays in the actual application.
