Knock sensor

The modular unit "Knock sensor" is a component of the "Modular Engine Management" training system. Thanks to the symbiosis of real components with digitally generated graphics it is possible to fully exploit the maximum possible knowledge transfer of the individual module. The trainee gets to know, on the one hand, how the component really looks and how the part feels to the touch but can also link the physical appearance directly to the corresponding circuit symbol which is critical in helping individuals read and understand circuit diagrams. Depending on the module there are besides circuit symbols also 3D illustrations which depict the respective component in detail. Since the 4-mm safety sockets of the module have the same colour coding as the control unit, the basic function of the respective connections is not only self-explanatory but also minimises the danger of making faulty wiring connections. In the event a mistake is made in the wiring, the sensor and actuator modules are equipped with built-in safety circuitry which protects against short-circuits.
