Bus Minimum one twist per 50 mm 2 in y lt lt gt gt 57 ADL3 to ECU wiring RS232 The following details the methods for connecting the ADL3 to the various MoTeC ECUs via 5232 all cases this is done using the serial data stream generated by the Telemetry function of each ECU In the case of the M800 M880 and M4e the ADL3 may be directly wired to the ECU because these ECUs use RS232 interface levels On the M48 M4 pre M4e and the M8 a Computer Interface Module CIM or a PCI cable is required to convert the signals to RS232 M800 M880 9 pin PC Connector if used 2 Note e The data to the ADL3 will be interrupted while a PC is connected DOS software only e The 9 pin connector is not used if using the Windows Calibration software e Data may be sent to the ADL3 via the CAN bus as an alternative to the serial connection M4e 9 Pin PC Connector 2 Note e Older M4 ECUs require a different connection method e The data to the ADL3 will be interrupted while a PC is connected 58 Appendices M48 M4 pre M4e and 8 The M48 amp M8 and M4 pre M4e require the use of a CIM module or a PCI Cable to convert the logic level signals used by these ECUs into RS232 levels Using a CIM Module ADL3 M48 8 ECU PC Connector Refer to the CIM module drawing for full wiring detai
13. Channels are used to convey information between the various systems of the ADL3 For example an input pin may feed a channel called Fuel Pressure This channel may then be used by another system such as the Display System or Data Logging systems The ADL3 channel scheme allows complete flexibility in channel usage as any available channel can be used by any other function i e any channel can be logged displayed used in conditions used in alarms used as an input to the user definable tables etc All systems within the ADL3 that generate values must feed one of the channels Pre defined Channels MoTeC has defined an extensive list of channels General Purpose Channels Since the use of all channels cannot be predetermined a number of general purpose channels have been included for occasions when a suitable predefined channel is not available These general purpose channels may be required when measuring an uncommon value or when a general purpose function needs to generate a special output channel For example a 3D table may generate an output channel to control a valve of some sort in which case a general purpose channel may be used and named appropriately Configuration 17 Channel Connection Example Sensors ECU Analogue Speed CAN Inputs Inputs Comms Hi Display E System Alarmi Hooe System p lH RS232 Telemetry Comms 19 ULL Gear Ral Detectio

Fuel Remaining or Engine Temperature The numeric displays can show any channel value plus up to two override values Override values show each time their value is updated This is useful for values that are updated periodically The override values are shown for a programmable period of time For example a numeric display could normally show the Running Lap Time which is continuously updating then be overwritten by the Lap Time for 10 seconds each time the Lap Time is updated Enunciators for common displayed values are provided above the numeric displays e g ET for Engine Temperature OP for Oil Pressure Centre Numeric Display The centre numeric display is normally used to display the current gear but can be used for other purposes 30 Configuration Bottom Alpha Numeric Display NA Ny NA A W N ANI TARY N YN The 13 digit bottom alpha numeric display can display up 20 lines of information that can be scrolled up or down using external buttons Each of the 20 lines can display up to 3 channel values at a time The values shown may be different for each of the three display modes Similar to the numeric displays the bottom alpha numeric display can show up to four override values The bottom alpha numeric display will also show any active alarm messages which will override all other values until the alarm is cleared Display Formatting e Uni

MoTeC Installation 11 CAN Controller Area Network Communications This protocol enables communication between all devices connected to the same bus The CAN bus allows communicating at high speeds The ADL3 has two independent CAN communications ports that can be connected to other devices with a compatible CAN port The bus speed for each interface can be set independently Typical devices communicating over CAN Hundred series ECU M400 M600 M800 M880 Shift Light Module SLM Lambda meters LTC PLM Expanders and input modules E888 E816 VIM Displays SDL o Beacon receiver BR2 These devices communicate at 1 Mbit sec so any other devices connected on the CAN bus must also communicate at 1 Mbit sec If a device communicates at another speed it should be wired to the other CAN bus and the speed of that CAN bus must be set to match the speed of the device RS232 Serial Communications This is a one to one protocol communicating from one device to one other device Typical devices communicating over RS232 4 M48 ECUs o Radio telemetry device o Global positioning system GPS Note The ADL3 can communicate with devices for which it has the appropriate communications protocol defined For other devices users can define their own custom communication settings 12 Installation Connecting Devices Examples Device Connect via Remarks Sensors Inputs The appropriate input
16. Rate Each input is measured at a maximum rate which is dependent on the capabilities of the measuring device and may also vary between inputs on that device For example the VIM has some inputs that update at 500 Hz and others that update as fast as 5000 Hz See Update Rate Summary Anti Alias Filter If a channel is logged at a rate slower than its specified update rate then an optional anti alias filter can be applied Configuration 25 The anti alias filter is used to average out any variations in the signal between logged values This ensures that unrepresentative values are not logged The anti alias filter is implemented by averaging the channel values between logging events For example if a channel has an update rate of 1000 Hz and it is logged at 100 Hz then the preceding 10 samples will be averaged each time it is logged The anti alias filter is normally turned on by default when a channel is added to the logging list but may be turned off if required For normal purposes it is recommended that the anti alias filter is left turned on Note For some channels the anti alias filter cannot be turned on because the averaging performed by the filter would cause incorrect values This is the case for on off channels and channels where the bit values have a particular meaning for example error group channels Real Time Value VIM ADL2 SDL For channels that come from a VIM an ADL2 or an SDL the logging anti alia
