  • Page 2: Overview

    Overview The Infinitybox J1939 POWERCELL NGX brings flexible multiplexed power distribution to any vehicle builder. Using standard J1939 PGN structures and commands, you can control the outputs on the POWERCELL NGX with practically any J1939 input device. In addition to high-current control, the POWERCELL NGX actively monitors the current flow from each output and reports that back on the J1939 network.
